Alien Infested History?

A History of Aliens

So many things in this world seem shrouded and hidden away from view. So many things seem to have been kept from our grasp. For us to know and grow, these things must be let out into the light. It seems to me that more and more people are beginning to look into conspiracies, and look beyond what was originally presented to us with one hand, to see what’s been hidden away behind the back with the other. Likely, one of the most common of these, are ALIENS!



This is the reason I will never go into space… Unless I have a Predator bodyguard.

Most people are quite familiar with Aliens. Though in many ways, much about aliens remains a mystery, what isn’t known is subject to Conspiracies. Nevertheless, aliens are quite well known. It’s kind of funny to think of a top secret, anything for that matter that has SO MUCH publicity as aliens and UFO’s do. I mean, can we really even call it a conspiracy anymore? It will even sometimes pop up in idle conversation… like..

“Nice weather where having here, Bill”
“Sure is, Bob”
“Op, there goes another one of them there UFO’s”
“Yep”
“That was cool. You wanna pass me another beer?”

Or…

“Did you hear, the government is keeping Aliens and UFO’s a secret. Their not telling us anything!”
“Oh? If that’s the case, then how do you know about it then?”
“…They suck at their job”

You see what I mean?

Even the picture above shows how much publicity they have. We have movies about them. I’m sure you could name 10 movies about aliens with little trouble. We have books, not only about them, or about the conspiracies or cover-ups, but about HOW their crafts work. The science behind it. Debunking the debunks done to debunk the story and try to change the lines in which a person thinks. They even show up on the news. I mean, hell, by the time they actually land and say “Take me to your leader, idiot” they will be fans lining up for them to sign autographs.

So, where does the conspiracy actually lie when it comes to aliens and UFO’s? Well, for the most part, even that isn’t much of a secret anymore, but, this all sort of started back 1938, with a famous, and still funny little radio broadcast.

Orson Welles - War of the Worlds

This is the radio broadcast. The animation you see was not apart of the original broadcast, but it was the only one I could find with the entire story. So ignore the animation and just listen.

If you haven’t heard of Orson Welles famous broadcast of War of the Worlds, then you should know, this is one of the reasons Aliens are covered up today. Orson Welles funny little broadcast caused quite a little stir, as most people who where listening in, back in 1938, didn’t know it was just a radio drama they where doing. Most listeners tuned in after the introduction stating it was just for entertainment purposes and would be done with actors (Or in this case a voice cast) portraying the story War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.

In short, it caused a panic among the listeners. They believed it was actually happening. That Aliens where actually invading and beginning to wreak havoc on the planet, starting a war with us. People fled to the streets and from their homes out of fear that Aliens from Mars where actually invading.

I remember sitting in class one time, and hearing about this for the first time. The entire class was laughing so hard. The teacher then allowed us to listen to the broadcast, and even then it sounded so real. They did an excellent job on it, and I can see why people panicked over it. But, it is still funny to think about. I can only imagine what it must of looked like watching those people react.

But, it was this reaction that caused the cover-up when Roswell, New Mexico’s little UFO incident happened in 1947.

Roswell is most known for that crash...




It didn’t take long for the Army to scoop it up and shuffle it under the carpet. Thinking of the mass panic that went on a little under a decade earlier, it would seem like a no-brainer to keep this quiet. They obviously don’t want another panic on their hands. And worse yet, this wasn’t a radio show, this wasn’t fake. It was real, and it had to be contained.

There are entire books on Roswell and the 1947 crash there. Lots of theories and stories flying around (just like the UFO’s).

Of course I must at least mention that ‘Area 51’ came to fame because of the Roswell crash. In fact, you could probably tie many of the Alien cover-ups to Roswell and Area 51...

Some of the conspiracies surrounding Area 51 are…
--
* The storage, examination, and reverse engineering of crashed alien spacecraft (including material supposedly recovered at Roswell), the study of their occupants (living and dead), and the manufacture of aircraft based on alien technology.
* Meetings or joint undertakings with extraterrestrials.
* The development of exotic energy weapons for the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or other weapons programs.
* The development of means of weather control.
* The development of time travel and teleportation technology.
* The development of unusual and exotic propulsion systems related to the Aurora Program.
* Activities related to a supposed shadowy one world government or the Majestic 12 organization.

The above it quoted from wikipedia. You can go to the link and see a bit more if you like.
I felt to lazy to type it all out, so copy and paste ftw…right? Ok fine you caught me, I couldn’t remember, so I had to go look it up and decided to just copy/paste… What? Don’t look at me like that!!

*Clears throat*

Ok, moving along now…

As the people began to take a deeper interest in the Alien and UFO conspiracies and people began to wonder how much depth this story goes, it led them into finding more and more intriguing discoveries. Such as, the further they dug, the further back into history these beings from another planet seem to appear in our history.



Upper right hand corner, there is something UFO-ish.



Opposite corner, and much easier to distinguish.



Ancient cave painting



This one is especially important. This one was taken 4,000 years ago, from a guy who went back in the past like in Assassin’s Creed. And he was all like “Oh damn, a UFO!” So he busted out his camera and took a picture… But that’s a different conspiracy…. So shhhh.

Anyways, all these pieces began to pile up and come together. People began to realize that Aliens and UFO’s not only have been coming for centuries and possibly even for millennia, but based off some of the other evidence they have found along the way, led them to believe, they may have had a big part in who we are today, and how we are able to do many of the things, such as construction and technology, today.







Pumapunku in Bolivia may have some of this evidence. As with the Pyramids, which may be a later post. Pumapunku’s architecture is, literally, unmatched. It is estimated to have been created around 600 A.D. It is most known for it’s perfect interlocking blocks, precisely cut and measured in a fashion that allows the blocks to fit together in such a way, modern engineering and construction cannot replicate this task. Every line is perfectly straight. The depth of each groove or slit is precisely the same depth throughout. Every corner is at a perfect 90 degree angle. Every measurement, is perfect. With that in mind, the question was brought up…

“Well, if we can barely do it now, with all the advanced technology we got. How could ancient man, with primitive tools do it?”

The conclusion was, you couldn’t.

This, among a large pool of other things, began to culminate, and soon something called Ancient Astronaut’s came into being. It literally refers to Aliens having been here since the dawn of man. Many even believe that it was Aliens that created the Human race, or at least had a hand in it.

The vastness of Aliens and UFO’s seems boundless. Paintings and sculptures and recordings of some form show up in all most all cultures and time periods, all throughout our history. Something I could probably write about for days with no end in sight. So, I’ll make one.....

And they lived happily, ever, after….



Ok, so maybe not….

Anyways, there are much, much darker aspects of Aliens, and the conspiracies. A few of them mentions above. But I wont go into those right now, mostly because I’m afraid of the dark…. So

This topic is far from over… but for now, we can rest here.

Till next time,
Later

  1. Second! For a good book on the alien phenomena, read Alien Intrusion by Gary Bates. Peace
