Ancient Aliens: History Channel's 2009 Documentary

I kinda believe it. I want to believe it.

the night sky is quite a sight, people don't star gaze as much any more but 20,000 years ago, that was what was on. whether or not people came from the sky on wings, we are influenced by staring into the infinite.

I watched the whole thing ... comments like "It's the only conclusion you can draw", "There is no doubt that my hypothesis will be accepted" and "it's comparable to finding a jet plane in Tutankhamun's tomb"! ... there is a huge difference between 'I can't explain this, lets keep an open mind' to 'This is hard to explain therefore it must be aliens'.

This is where science and religion go their separate ways. Faith based beliefs have a direction and the evidence is selected to fit those beliefs, while science keeps asking questions, tries stuff and then tests it, and when the same results come up it then says I'm 99% sure. It knows better to say 'this is it'.

I was a kid when Erich Von Däniken first hit the scene, It was very interesting, I would love to see it come true but it's not objective and the speakers are great manipulators. They also had a sympathetic production crew who gave them the status of the underdog and a lot more airtime ... plus ... lets picking a scientist with a mohawk ... in other works, lets make conservative science look fringe while our guys wear suits.

What can be said is that it's worth investigating. For example if that map of Antarctica is correct then that is truly amazing. But as the guy said at the end ... where is the evidence of actual aliens or what they used to help us.

The jury is still out and will be for a long time.

Zecharia Sitchin....Read...wake up:-)

This planet - has DNA/RNA animals - eating animals, - we breathe out carbon; and plant-life - don't forget plants! - The atmosphere, Oxygen - blue sky.

Life infects every little crevice of this planet. And we eat stuff.

Ya see, all the life is really just one thing, an animal that eats rock - converts minerals. Into, every aspect of the world that you seem to think you are a distinct feature of.

Really, all us animals are fools; who think we are individuals when really we're all differentiated from one type of thing - the DNA thingy. This way, having made fools of us all, DNA can survive earthquakes, asteroids, fire brimstone, you name it.

In this context - any alien, space "beings" that you imagine might be precursors to the great humans (such as yourself) can be nothing other than your little, tiny-weeny imaginations.

The fantasy kind.

Here's another thought: We go out in our spaceship and visit a friendly looking planet somewhere. Immediately the microbes and virus fragments that cling to our clothes and the little bugs that live in our eyelashes and those that feed on our skin and live in our gut, etc, infect and inoculate that planet causing a reeling, out of control organic explosion that turns the planet into a permanently polluted, green slime, stinking vomit-ball that will soon kill all life forms there.

As we escape and blast away, they plead on the radio, "Why? Why did you do this to us?"
We call back "Uh-h, I guess, cause we're stupid?"

If there are life forms smart enough to think about coming here, they are smarter than we have been and they won't. They never did. Or you'd never have been born.
Do you get the picture?

The world is not coming to an end, that is a stupid short sighted distraction. The only thing that we are capable of doing which would end the world is a Nuclear war, that is the ONLY thing destructive enough that we have made. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the progess we have made, it is time to make it cleaner in terms of the heavy metals, stop building dams, cleaner forms of energy, alternate fuels, trains instead of so many cars, bring back airships (cruise ships of the sky), BUT there is absolutely nothing wrong with CO2, it is not a pollutant, it is not responsible for the climate change we have now, it was hotter in the medieval period, Al Gore is a big fat corrupt bast*rd and the biggest issue of our time is nothing but a complete waste of time and money.

Ive always thought it was more logical that ancient people were actually describing high technology as angels and gods then as actual angels and gods. Think about it. Today's technology is like magic; Communication is made instantly, vast knowledge is available via internet, cars, planes, space shuttles, on and on. Now imagine all of that thousands of years ago. Of course you would think it the work of "God" or "Gods". You wouldn't know what you were seeing and you would only know to describe it as magic and supernatural.

This is more realistic than Christianity! The fist time I saw this show, it changed my perception of reality because there is more evidence to it than there are in all religions. I highly recommend watching the show in it's entirety.

What an eye opener

One giant
MEH

of course god is extraterrestrial, you think he lives here in a condo?
i don't agree with a lot of the book, many of the proofs are things that man can do. people are smart.
i saw a u.f.o. in '75 along with about a hundred other people. it was amazing, it stopped traffic on the 405 and we had it in view for over10 mins. no news paper or t.v. coverage.

Our ancient ancestors will never be fully understood, we can only guess at what it was like and how they accomplished things that were lost over the ages. No one has ever proved a theory beyond doubt and maybe never will. That's what makes these documentaries so interesting.

We've learned over decades that what we thought was true was not, or have learned aspects we didn't know before that have altered our theories. Just as we enjoy science fiction because some things are fun to imagine, and we've found that some things we thought impossible have been accomplished, these things are fun to contemplate. Thinking outside of the box is a healthy exercise of our minds, kind of like stretching a rubber band, if you do it enough it will never go back to it's original shape. Personally, I'm not convinced this is true but know there's also a possibility that I'm wrong. Mysteries are just fun!

It must be the hieght of ego to think that we are the only intelegence in this universe. Unlike many who think that god would not create more than one intelegence I think that he would have been smart enough not to put all of his eggs in on basket. When you read the bible of how Lucifer was expeled from heaven you see a classic revolt against authority where one faction won and exiled the other faction to a place where they could not be bothered but watched.

A solid piece of entertainment. But nothing more.

Homo Sapiens is an experiment in gene splicing, conducted several hundred thousand years ago by agents from afar. Now that our species has overrun its home planet, the self-destruct mechanism (the ability to build internal combustion engines) has kicked in, and the experiment will soon self-terminate. No muss, no fuss, no need for an invasion.

Agh, everytime he says Nazca like a gringo its like nails on a chalkboard.

Somebody is watching the watchers after all, hmmm....

If you watched Battlestar Galactica then you already know the truth.

reminds me of a bad star trek episode

Fascinating stuff! I've watched this series a couple of times before and never get tired of it. The mysteries of our ancestors and sites found all over the world and the various theories keep us enthralled. I visited a remote site in Scotland a few years ago where the locals showed us the remains of a fort high on a hill where the huge blocks of stone were literally melted together. According to locals, scientists have come and gone over the years and cannot replicate or figure out how it was done.

this makes H.P. Lovecraft a lot scarier.

i believe. a friend of mine and i saw a UFO followed near Lemoore NAS in central California.

Way Way cool!

I'm inviting everyone who has an open mind and tell me what they think after watching the first 4 videos... there are about 9 or 10 of these, so please, if you can watch the first 4 at least, you'll see why I'm such a believer and why there are people out there that believe in this as well... and the first 3 minutes of part 5... thanks!

The History Channel is great.

Saw this show several times and it has some great stuff to think about!
