Archaeologists in Mexico today revealed the astonishing skull of a person suffering from a cranial disfiguration. Believed to be 1,000 years old, the find was made near the small Mexican village of Onavas. The find is believed to be the first in the region showing the practice of binding a skull to change its shape. 'Cranial deformation in Mesoamerican cultures was used to differentiate one social group from another and for ritual purposes,' said archaeologist Cristina Garcia Moreno, director of the research project. The find is eerily similar to the Alien in Ridley Scott's film of the same name The burial ground consists of 25 individuals; 13 have intentional cranial deformation and five also have dental mutilation. 'This unique find shows a mix of traditions from different groups of northern Mexico,' said Moreno. The use of ornaments made from sea shells from the Gulf of California had never been found before in Soannan territory and this discovery extends the limit of influence of Mesoamerican peoples farther north than has been previously recorded,” she said in a video posted to YouTube. Some of the individuals were wearing ornaments such as as bangles, nose rings, earrings, pendants made from shells found in the Gulf of California, and one burial contained a turtle shell, carefully placed over the abdomen, according to Past Horizons.

'Alien-Like' Skulls Excavated in MexicoCharles Choi, LiveScience Contributor Date: 20 December 2012 Although cranial deformation and dental mutilation were common features among the pre-Hispanic populations of Mesoamerica and western Mexico, but scientists had not previously seen either in Soanna or the American Southwest. CREDIT: Cristina García / INAH. Human skulls deliberately warped into strange, alien-like shapes have been unearthed in a 1,000-year-old cemetery in Mexico, researchers say. The practice of deforming skulls of children as they grew was common in Central America, and these findings suggest the tradition spread farther north than had been thought, scientists added. The cemetery was discovered by residents of the small Mexican village of Onavas in 1999 as they were building an irrigation canal. It is the first pre-Hispanic cemetery found in the northern Mexican state of Soanna. The site, referred to as El Cemeterio, contained the remains of 25 human burials. Thirteen of them had deformed skulls, which were elongate and pointy at the back, and five had mutilated teeth. Dental mutilation involves filing or grinding teeth into odd shapes, while cranial deformation involves distorting the normal growth of a child's skull by applying force — for example, by using cloths to bind wooden boards against their heads. "Cranial deformation has been used by different societies in the world as a ritual practice, or for distinction of status within a group or to distinguish between social groups," said researcher Cristina García Moreno, an archaeologist at Arizona State University. "The reason why these individuals at El Cemeterio deformed their skulls is still unknown." "The most common comment I've read from people that see the pictures of cranial deformation has been that they think that those people were 'aliens,'" García added. "I could say that some say that as a joke, but the interesting thing is that some do think so. Obviously we are talking about human beings, not of aliens." Of the 25 burials, 17 were children between 5 months and 16 years of age. The high number of children seen at the site could suggest inept cranial deformation killed them due to excessive force against the skull. The children had no signs of disease that caused their deaths. Although cranial deformation and dental mutilation were common features among the pre-Hispanic populations of Mesoamerica and western Mexico, scientists had not seen either practice in Soanna or the American Southwest, which share a common pre-Hispanic culture. The researchers suggest the people at El Cemeterio had been influenced by recent migrants from the south. "The most important implication would be to extend the northern boundary of the Mesoamerican influence," García told LiveScience. A number of skeletons also were found with earrings, nose rings, bracelets, pendants and necklaces made from seashells and snails from the Gulf of California. One person was buried with a turtle shell on the chest. It remains uncertain why some of these people were buried with ornaments while others were not, or — another mystery — why only one of the 25 skeletons was female. During the next field season, the researchers aim to determine the cemetery's total size and hope to find more burials to get a clearer idea of the society's burial customs. "With new information, we also hope to determine whether there was any interaction between these and Mesoamerican societies — how it was and when it happened," they said. García and her colleagues completed their analysis of the skeletal remains in November. They plan to submit their research to either the journal American Antiquity or the journal Latin American Antiquity. www.livescience.com/25743-alien-like-skulls-excavated-mexico.html

I say they are all reptilians not humans banding their heads! And yes, I know that this was once a practice among some, but you have to ask yourself why? Where did they ever get the idea of looking this way? Could it have been because wise , powerful, or seemingly magical people they witnessed looked this way? Me thinks, yes.

...but you have to ask yourself why?
Where did they ever get the idea of looking this way?
Could it have been because wise , powerful, or seemingly magical people they witnessed looked this way? Me thinks, yes. Hi,
My opinions take a different stance....The Reptilians that I've seen up close, don't have those type 'shape' heads and none of their heads were that small either. Of all the Reptilian types that I was shown, they basically exhibit three types of skull shapes, --lizard (shaped like a garden lizard or raptor skull), a tyrannosaurus/diptor skull, and incidentally was about five times the size of a Human skull, and the, 'dog-head', which was a bit smaller. One can see an example, Enki, (Iraqi wall sculpture) a bi-ped with ceremonial wings, who on occasion walked on all fours. Also Thoth had the 'canis' type head, and a smaller version was the Human-nubis skull, which can seen as depicted on Key 10 of the Holy Tarot. All of these latter 'canis' skulls had a short dog-like snout, two short pointed bumps on the top of the head in almost same location as a pair of dog-ears, but they were not ears. The Human-nubis proto-Human Reptilian was also covered with bright red scales and had three fingers and an opposed thumb. One may see glimpses of these hand structures in the BOTA Tarot, on Key 0, Key 1, Key 5, Key 10, Key 15 (the two 'Humans') and Key 21. Also, in the ancient Septuagint image of the "Ancient of Days" drawing attributed to AbRaHaM. (the Reptilian who took his 54 concubines and the males (protoHumans), divided the group into the 12 tribes, sending them out to populate the Earth.)
The Reptilians, based upon what I was taught by ET, are an engineered genetic cast specie, it is a basic element employed in their technical culture. Unlike Humans, which value physical rewards such as material gain through monetary awards, possessions, etc, the Reptilians are rewarded through DNA body shape alteration. The lowest cast (the uneducated, impoverished in Human 'class') are the salamanders. They crawl on their bellies, they are grunts of Reptilian society, full quadra-peds. Reptilians may also punished in this manner, through down-casting. An up-cast promotion, might involve the transformation from a full quadra-ped to a quasi-quadra-ped, meaning, the Reptilian individual's DNA is modified, effected via an injection, so that individual becomes a longer legged quadra-ped, enabling, when it walks, its stomach doesn't touch or slide on the ground. Up-casting to a bi-ped is also a major reward, its a bit like being 'middle-class' in the Human perspective. The ability to fight well is a well respected station, it is rewarded with ceremonial wings of the Warrior-Cast. Often Reptilian bi-pedal 'politicians' are given ceremonial-wings as a reward of office. But they are different size bodies. The Warrior Cast are very large animals, typically 8ft up to 15ft. Their hides are also bright red. They are smart, mean, nasty and highly telepathic. They can stun ya with telepathic pulse from their foreheads, and then they eat ya.
The conical shaped heads depicted was often painted in ancient Egyptian wall murals, one notable example is that of Queen Nefertiti. The Egyptian kings (as described in the Embla Library King's List) were descendants from the Raiphm who typically reigned 2000 to 15,000 years each. The Humans, whose stature were tiny in comparison, adorned themselves in similar manner as a sign of respect to the creator race. Strangely, later, Humans, worked to sanitize all prior knowledge of Reptilian existence. This happened sometime after the Reptilians departed Earth prior to the cataclysm.

Why do people put rings around their necks to the point they can no longer hold them up? Why did ancient orientals bind the feet of children to the point they could not walk? There is always some reason in the head (pardon the pun) of the one doing the um..structural engineering. My son has two red tailed Boa's..respectfully 8 and 9 feet long...no one wants to watch them eat..they are not dainty table guests. For me...that's a good reason not to want to meet any species with teeth like that...and try to convince myself it passed that phase in it's evolution long ago. Until they drive down here and decide to interact or have lunch with the general population..it's only speculation

IMO...they're alien... i don't see any skull indents to prove they were bound with leather or medal binds... these beings were born that way...

Aliens are a possibility too..but done young enough..there wouldn't be band marks on the bone itself. There aren't marks on the bones of the feet of the ancient orientals either. I like to explore all the other possibilities too The post at the very top of the page mentions a reveal of the very old practice of binding heads..maybe they had other reasons for it ..shrug

I'm kind of curious to know why they would have done something like the head binding also. Maybe they were copying someone or something they had seen...or maybe it was just a fad like bell-bottom jeans and swatches. Somebody started it for a reason and the skull binding wasn't just done in one place. It became popular in many different parts of the world.
It might be interesting to do some research into the different groups of people who practiced skull deformation and compare their religious beliefs. Since contact with ET would undoubtedly influence their religion it's possible there may be some intriguing similarities in the religions of the different peoples.

The article mentioned that it was common in that area and not particularly successful because they found skulls of children..there is more on it here and how it was thought to have been done en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cranial_deformationanother article points out a possible reason for it and that it was very common. It is believed that the shaping was done to identify the owner as a member of a certain group. Sometimes they did Trephination (cutting out a piece of skull so the brain could swell past it) and they lived through the primitive surgery. It's interesting but these are natives of the regions..human skulls they unearth. www.opposingdigits.com/forums/post-23749.html&highlight=

Those people back then were a lot smarter than people give them credit for. There is some evidence that the ancient Maya and Incas may have done organ transplants, brain surgery and root canals. They weren't just a bunch of primitive yahoos. They knew things about spirituality and medicines that we still haven't even begun to discover.
I wonder if reshaping the skull like that would have any effect on intelligence or brain function? Maybe by allowing a certain region to expand it might increase the functions of that region.

That could be a reason Sky..I know they didn't all survive it but maybe those were children who had some type of brain defect to begin with. I know they look 'alien' to us..(strange/unusual) but maybe it would be easier to accept a more 'human' reason for it if we hadn't seen movies like 'Alien' or others where the skull was different. Holly-woods version of how an alien head might look. Part of science, anthropology and just being open minded is in looking for all answers that fit..not just the ones we want to see. Cultural practices among them. The critters I saw..had biggish eyes but the skull wasn't elongated like that..although it was bigger.

I don't remember seeing any elongated skulls either...although the back of the skull did protrude out a little more than a human skull would have. That doesn't really mimic what these skull-binding people were doing though. Their skulls appear to be more cone shaped.

www.unknowncountry.com/news/conehead-skulls-peru-alien-ape-or-lost-human-species The Conehead Skulls of Peru: Alien, Ape or a Lost Human Species?Thursday, September 19, 2013 The conehead skulls of Peru have been dismissed as the result of 'binding,' but these are not bound skulls. In fact, they aren't even human skulls. They do not have the right bone structure to be human and they have far larger brain cases. In fact, the native practice of skull binding may have represented an effort to make themselves appear more like these creatures. Were they a species of ape, a now-extinct human species, or aliens? Ancient elongated skulls have been found in Peru and at various sites across the world, and scientists confirm that many of the skulls have had cranial deformation induced intentionally by altering and flattening the head from an early age using string wrapped around the cranium. The question remains, however, as to what motivated many cultures to deform their heads in this odd, often risky, procedure? Were those ancient peoples elongating their skulls to emulate a race of superior alien beings with larger brains and advanced intelligence? Skulls found in Paracas district, in the same state as the Nazcar lines in Peru, have many skeletal differences in comparison to a normal human skull, and this suggests that the elongation in their case could have been a natural phenomenon and not artificially induced. A normal human skull possesses three cranial plates, the frontal plate and two parietal plates, but the Paracus skulls have only two, one frontal and one parietal. The volume of the skull is 25% larger than an average human skull; the nose and eye sockets are larger, and there are two holes suggesting a nerve supply feeding the back of the skull, which is not a typical human feature. The bone of the skull is also much thicker than that of a normal human skull. So artificial skull elongation as part of an elaborate 'self-enhancement' procedure does not explain the difference in overall volume or the other differential features seen in these cases, including larger jaws and fewer teeth. Even so, anthropologists still remain unconvinced that the skulls are from an extraterrestrial race. In 2011, however, Renato Davila Riquelme of the Privado Ritos Andinos museum in Cuzco, Peru, found two small mummies in the village of Andahuaylillas, a settlement which used to be part of the Inca empire. The new remains had huge skulls which were almost the same size as their 20inch bodies. A fontanelle, or small hole, was noted in the skulls, suggesting that these were the bodies of children, but this theory was confused by the fact that the skulls contained fully developed adult molars.. Hydrocephaly has been mooted as a possible cause for the misshapen heads, but medical professionals who have since examined the skulls stated that this explanation was not consistent with the deformity observed. Most significantly, three anthropologists from Spain and Russia examined the skeletons and agreed that the bodies did not appear to be of human origin The mummified remains would then appear to add further weight to the theory that a race of 'extraterrestrial' beings were encountered by ancient civilisations, and that they provided early cultures with the inspiration to alter their appearance in order to emulate beings whom they may have perceived as gods.

www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/hypogeum-hal-saflieni-and-unknown-race-elongated-skulls-001190 The Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni and an unknown race with elongated skulls2 January, 2014 by John Black Many ancient megalithic structures exist in Malta and one of them is the ‘Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni’, a subterranean structure with magnificent properties that is more than 5,000 years old. The Hypogeum (a Greek word meaning ‘underground’) is supposed to be the oldest prehistoric underground temple in the world. The discovery of this incredible site was made in 1902 when construction workers, who were excavating to build the foundations of a building, stumbled upon what appeared to be an underground sanctuary. When archaeologists began uncovering the site, they found a massive underground structure consisting of three levels carved into stone. It has been estimated that more than 2,000 tonnes of stone would have needed to be removed for its construction. The Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni Today the whole of the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni is underground, but in the past the main entrance was on the surface, decorated with megaliths. On the walls of the Hypogeum many different patterns in red ochre were found. Shapes like spirals, pentagons, floral patterns, and even the outline of a bull adorned the walls. Within the Hypogeum, archaeologists have uncovered tombs, rooms of unknown function, and a ‘Main Chamber’, which is a circular room carved into rock with a few trilithon entrances. In this room, the statue of a sleeping lady was found (as shown in the picture). Other rooms include the ‘Decorated room’, the ‘Snake Pit’ and the ‘Holy of Holies’, and the ‘Oracle room’, a rectangular-shaped room which has very peculiar acoustic characteristics. The acoustic properties of the ‘Oracle room’ have been studied extensively by researchers. Anything spoken in that room is heard all throughout the Hypogeum. Furthermore, some research has shown that the acoustic properties of the reverberating sound affects human emotions. Research done by Paolo Debertolis and Niccolo Bisconti of the Universities of Triests and Siena respectively, has shown that the construction of the chamber was made in a way to affect the psyche of people, perhaps to enhance mystical experiences during rituals. The use of fractal non-linear resonances, which appear in the acoustics of the Hypogeum, is something that modern science has just started to investigate and the results show that these type of frequencies have the ability to alter matter. The ‘Sleeping Lady’ found in the Main Chamber, along with other figurines found within the Hypogeum all display ‘abundant forms’. In other words, the figures appear to be extremely obese, and there is no agreement as to why this may be.

humansarefree.com/2014/01/the-ancient-elongated-skulls-are-not.html#moreJanuary 17, 2014 The Ancient Elongated Skulls Are NOT HumanBy Michael T. Snyder Are you ready to be confronted with evidence that will directly contradict the version of “world history” that you were taught in school? In recent years, hundreds of extremely bizarre skulls have been discovered all over the planet. Scientific tests that have been conducted on some of them conclusively prove that these ancient elongated skulls are NOT HUMAN. Many people are not able to accept what you are about to see because it is too radical for them. But the truth is that ancient texts have been telling us about these “hybrid beings” for thousands of years. There are even some ancient Indian traditions that claim that these creatures were in North America before the Indians were. Elongated Skulls Ica / Paracas Museum, Peru In fact, there is even one ancient Indian tradition about a war between a tribe of Indians and a race of red-haired cannibalistic giants. The Bible refers to these hybrids as “the Nephilim”, and as time goes by the evidence keeps piling up that they were very, very real. Down in Peru, particularly on the Paracas peninsula, researchers have been finding some very large elongated skulls that are extremely ancient. On his Facebook page, Brien Foerster posted a photo of one of these ancient skulls that still has red hair on it: CONTINUE READING & MORE PICTURES: humansarefree.com/2014/01/the-ancient-elongated-skulls-are-not.html#more

I'd be more convinced if it were not for the man in question. Lamar Zulli has his paws in every form of UFO or paranormal search that there is. His favorite pet project though are the Nephelim (the fabled folk of Nibru). Written books on the subject..gives lectures..and as a side line takes a stab at prophecy although he calls himself a 'watcher' not a prophet. I believe that..just about anyone can keep an eye on current events and plot possible courses. He's also touting a huge battle being fought on a different 'plane' that will spill over into ours. Tooo many projects. We already know..many tribes practiced head binding. But...we find something that doesn't fit in the round hole..and we have to try and make a brand new shape out of it. I'm just not comfy with those making wild claims and money...from UFO subjects just because the evidence is nill and cannot refute their watery claims

It is here were Peruvian archaeologist, Julio Tello, made an amazing discovery in 1928 – a massive and elaborate graveyard containing tombs filled with the remains of individuals with the largest elongated skulls found anywhere in the world. These have come to be known as the ‘Paracas skulls’. In total, Tello found more than 300 of these elongated skulls, which are believed to date back around 3,000 years. A DNA analysis has now been conducted on one of the skulls and expert Brien Foerster has released preliminary information regarding these enigmatic skulls. It is well-known that most cases of skull elongation are the result of cranial deformation, head flattening, or head binding, in which the skull is intentionally deformed by applying force over a long period of time. It is usually achieved by binding the head between two pieces of wood, or binding in cloth. However, while cranial deformation changes the shape of the skull, it does not alter its volume, weight, or other features that are characteristic of a regular human skull. The Paracas skulls, however, are different. The cranial volume is up to 25 percent larger and 60 percent heavier than conventional human skulls, meaning they could not have been intentionally deformed through head binding/flattening. They also contain only one parietal plate, rather than two. The fact that the skulls’ features are not the result of cranial deformation means that the cause of the elongation is a mystery, and has been for decades An artist’s impression based on a Paracas skull. Photo credit: Marcia Moore / Ciamar Studio Mr. Juan Navarro, owner and director of the local museum, called the Paracas History Museum, which houses a collection of 35 of the Paracas skulls, allowed the taking of samples from 5 of the skulls. The samples consisted of hair, including roots, a tooth, skull bone and skin, and this process was carefully documented via photos and video. The samples were sent to the late Lloyd Pye, founder of the Starchild Project, who delivered the samples to a geneticist in Texas for DNA testing. The results are now back, and Brien Foerster, author of more than ten books and an authority on the ancient elongated headed people of South America, has just revealed the preliminary results of the analysis. He reports on the geneticist's findings: It had mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) with mutations unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far. But a few fragments I was able to sequence from this sample indicate that if these mutations will hold we are dealing with a new human-like creature, very distant from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans.The implications are of cause huge. “I am not sure it will even fit into the known evolutionary tree,” the geneticist wrote. He added that if the Paracas individuals were so biologically different, they would not have been able to interbreed with humans. The result of this analysis is only phase one of many phases of analysis due to take place. The results need to be replicated and more analysis undertaken before final conclusions can be drawn. We will update when more details emerge.

It's possible to recover mitochondrial DNA (DNA located in the organelle that produces energy for a cell) as they have done so on bones 400,000 years old. But not possible to label it 'alien' with any certainty. Alien as in 'unlike us' yes but alien as in from the stars..is just not a scientific leap. The bones tested that were 400,000 years old posed more questions than answers too..as there aren't many data bases so old for comparison and they don't 'fit' the profiles we have. Doesn't mean they are alien..means that genetic shifts probably occurred.

Interview with Brien Foerster -- Unravelling the Genetics of Elongated Skulls Published on Feb 7, 2014 In this revealing interview, Brien Foerster sheds lights on DNA testing undertaken on one of the Paracas elongated skulls. More than 300 of these elongated skulls have already been found and physical features suggest that the skulls were not the result of head binding or head flattening practices. Brien Foerster reveals new details about the recent genetic testing carried out on one of the Paracas skulls and what exactly the DNA analysis showed. He also shares his own theory about the findings and discusses what will happen now that this initial result has been announced.

A team of ufologists and paranormal researchers just spent several weeks down there investigating these skulls. Still waiting to hear what info if any they discovered. Should be interesting to hear.
If these people really did have naturally elongated skulls for whatever reason (and it appears they did) that might explain all the "ritualistic" head-binding that went on afterwards. Like we speculated before, people were copying what they had seen.

www.peruthisweek.com/blogs-calm-down-the-paracas-skulls-are-not-from-alien-beings-102258 Calm down, the Paracas skulls are not from alien beings.February 13, 2014 By Rachel Chase Why you should be skeptical of the recent genetic testing done on the Paracas skulls— and it’s not for the reason you might think. Paracas skulls at the National Museum of Achaeology, Anthropology, and History in Lima. (Photo: Jacopo Werther) Yesterday, I wrote an article about a set of genetic tests done on a sample from one of the famous elongated Paracas skulls, which are 3,000 years old and were found in southern Peru. The basic news was this: some genetic tests had found DNA in the skulls that was reportedly previously “unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far.” The implication, helped by the distinctly B-movie “alien” appearance of the skulls, was that the skulls must contain extraterrestrial DNA. Scientists and archaeologists generally believe that the skulls’ strange appearance is the result of intentional deformation practiced by the Paracas culture. I saw this story floating around in the paranormal blogosphere for a few days before I decided to report on it. I ignored it, frankly, until it was picked up by Yahoo! and the International Business Times, as well as a few smaller news sources around the world. So I wrote a short article, mostly because it was a silly story that was fun to write about after a morning of writing about human trafficking and illegal gold mining. But I find this story really, really irritating. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the alien part of this story that bothers me. I believe in the possibility of aliens. More than anything, it bothers me that established news sites apparently failed to do even cursory research on the background of the story before publishing it. Let’s start with a quick talk about aliens. In an infinite universe, it seems foolhardy— even arrogant— to completely dismiss the idea of extraterrestrial life. There are so many galaxies, so many planets, so many suns; across the neverending expanse of space, one suspects that there must be another group of intelligent beings somewhere. But suspect is the key word there. We have no credible evidence for the existence of alien civilizations. As Carl Sagan said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” And claiming that the Paracas skulls are possibly alien is certainly extraordinary. So let’s look at the evidence— does it measure up? CONTINUE READING: www.peruthisweek.com/blogs-calm-down-the-paracas-skulls-are-not-from-alien-beings-102258

Wow, when I read such a biased article as that one it is no wonder that he does not waste time submitting to mainstream science journals which would reject the idea no matter what science was done and that the scientist does not want to be identified. Any valid archeology department should be interested in the global and ancient phenomena. It is obvious that mainstream theories are wrong because something is going on here. Either these cultures of the world communicated at such an early date that archeology does not believe it, or these are not altered human sculls, but a variant or disease.
There is no way we could even know if aliens have DNA, though the facn alien t that it comes in from space does imply that some would. I think throwing in an alien spin confuses the issue. They are either modified by head binding type practices or occur naturally as some of us believe is the original state and head binding came later as a mimic action.
I think the author completely invalidates herself by slamming the history channel for the Ancient Aliens theme. While some of the evidence and logic in any individual show might be questioned, the fact that most religious scriptures contain clear examples of ET involvement in humanities past. The alien occupation of Earth existed before we were recovered from the last ice age and is now in an enhanced and highly active phase.

I think you're right. Instead of treating the skulls like some amazing mystery and working to solve it from a purely scientific view..they toss on an 'alien' theme and stall any progress. That seems to be the nature of so many things anymore. If it doesn't look like the standard model...it HAS to be ALIEN. To heck with any other possibilities and now..science wants to turn a back to the whole issue...because it's become just another witch hunt for 'alien' ancestors. Naturally then it gets turned into an episode of 'ancient astronauts' and the schism widens..the alien groupies hang on every word and the science community scoffs and wants nothing else to do with it. Another book or ten pop onto the market..none of them validated in any way..and here we have all of these amazing skulls that could be every bit as interesting to our history as 'aliens'. I just wish people wouldn't be quite so quick to label something before there is any evidence to go on. How do we know that aliens have cone heads? The 'evidence' we do come up with..then gets stretched in all sorts of directions. "It's not like any earth DNA" turns out to be just another little bit of misinformation. Maybe we had a race of genetic anomalies and they migrated...THAT would be just as exciting to know. Just seems sad

I love this dialog:
Vallee, Jacques (1988, 2008) Dimensions, A Casebook of Alien Contact. San Antonio, TX. Anomalist Books
" The problem before us now is this: if the reality behind the UFO phenomenon is both physical and psychic in nature, and if it manipulates space and time in ways our scientific concepts are inadequate to describe, is there any reason for its effects to be limited to our culture or generation? We have already established that no country has had the special privilege of these manifestations. Yet we must carry the argument further: if the UFO phenomenon not tied to social conditions specific to our time, or to specific technological achievements, then it may represent a universal fact. It may have been with us, in one form or another, as long as the human race has existed on this planet.
Something happened in classical times that is inadequately explained by historical theories. The suggestion that the same thing might be happening again should make us extremely interested in bringing every possible light to bear on this problem. Beginning in the second century BC and continuing after the fall of the Roman empire, the intellectual elites of the Mediterranean world, raised in a spirit of scientific rationalism, were confronted and eventually defeated by an irrational element similar to that contained in the modern apparitions of unexplained phenomena, an element that is amplified by their summary rejection by our own science. It accompanied the collapse of ancient civilization.
Commenting on this parallel, French science writer Aime Michel proposes the following scene. consider one of Alexandrian thinkers, a man like Ptolemaeus, the second century astronomer thoroughly schooled in the rational methods of Archimedes, Euclid, and Aristotle. and imagine him reading the apocalypse, various writings about Armageddon. how would he react to such an experience? he would surely shrug, says Aime Michel: “it would never occur to him to place the slightest credence in such a compendium of what he must regard as insanities. Such a scene must have taken place a thousand times at the end of classical antiquity. And we know that every time there was the same rejection, the same shrugging, because we have no record of any critical examination of the doctrines, ideas, and claims of the counterculture that expressed itself through the Apocalypse. This counterculture was to absurd to retain the attention of a reader of Plato. A short time – a very short time – elapsed, the counterculture triumphed, and Plato was forgotten for a thousand years. Could it happen again?” - Pg 32-33

Sort of like showing a caveman a cigarette lighter. Vallee is one of my favorites. Something I can't quite understand is the determination to figure other beings must cover great distances in ships and no matter how hard someone tries to steer the possibilities in other directions..the cosmos must be as full of space going entities driving about in ships as rush hour traffic in New York is wall to wall cars. Very little thought into string theory..and possibilities of 'aliens' popping through doorways or the possibility of doorways existing right here on earth...which I've always believed are excellent alternatives to travel. Wouldn't it be a great exercise to investigate the meanings of string theory and doorways..stretch the brain a bit...as opposed to just accepting et landing on their lawn in a ship that just traveled a gabillion light years? Wonder if they have traffic lights up there

I agree there must be quite a bit of traffic. I assume there are some rules or laws which govern actions on Earth, since Earth must be owned and in some groups territory.
We see 'UFO' and we need to not conclude they are all ships. They could be an energy portal. They could be the end of a worm hole. Some may be nuts and bolts ships, but we do not know. Shamans claim it is possible to translocate by psychic ability. String theory explains that every particle is connected in a way that transcends space and time, though no one knows how or exactly what that means. What would a being with high psychic ability and technology which farther enhances that ability be able to do?
There is a physical aspect, but what does that mean? What is physical? 99% open space from a physics point of view. We are trapped in our world view and they challenge that world view. They challenge our minds to understand that our reality is not what we assume it is. Assumptions are often unconscious onion layers. We have many to peel away to get to the core (which seems to be consciousness itself).

i buy the string theory, multiple dimensions, black holes & beings that are far, far, far more advanced than we are... i believe that is how they, the aliens, travel from galaxy to galaxy... just like we will do one day in the not so distant future... they hold the key... we don't... yet ...
