Did I ever tell you my Cornfield theory?
The next nearest solar system is 4.5 lightyears away. That means if you travel at the speed of light it would take 4.5 years to get here. That is a long time especially when you have 5 lightyears to get to the next closest solar system
All of our UFO sightings tend to be single sightings over some obscure cornfield in mid America. Are you going to travel a minimum of nine years and come back and report..... I saw CORN!
Any UFO traveling such a great distance is not going to do some flyby and then go home. They would stay for decades and scout the whole planet especially the cities where most life is evident
It also cracks me up that people believe that a race of beings that have the technology to flip a space ship accross the breadth of the galaxy, do so only to shove a probe up someone's ass.
If you look into Zacharia Sitchen's work, you will find that he proposes there is another planet, Nibiru or Planet X, that is in a very long eliptical orbit around our sun. (And I believe there is some gravity in our system that is unaccounted for which he uses as evidence.) It's orbit brings it very close to the earth evey 2 or 3 thousand years. When it is that close, then it would not require traveling long distances through space, just through our own solar system. And we, ourselves have managed that. This is what underlies the theory that people from an advanced civilization have helped our civilization along at intervals that correspond to that planet coming close to earth. And if you notice, technology does improve at various intervals, roughly 2000 years apart. Supposedly a space ship crashed in the desert near Roswell NM and Bell Labs reverse engineered it. The first advance following that crash was the transistor. Since then, we have been inundated with technology that I would not have believed when I was a girl. If it came from the minds of mere earth men, then why did it take so long? Our brains haven't changed for thousands of years. Today's technology should have been thought up thousands of years ago if mere men are capable of thinking it up.
Sitchen found and translated the genesis story on clay tablets in Sumeria, far older than the source of the Bible. This story is very similar to the genesis story in the Bible, but it talks of the gods being nephilim, or 'those who from heaven to earth came.' Eden or E-den in the Sumerian texts was where the first people resided. Eve was the name of a group of women, and Adam the name of a group of men. He postulates from these tablets that man is a genetically engineered being which the nephilim created by combining their own DNA with our Cro-Magnon ancestors. If this were the case, then certainly beings from another planet would be interested in monitoring their genetic engineering project and 'shoving probes up our ass.' Yes, I can see that, if we are a genetic engineering project of the nelphilim from Nibiru. The only hitch is that Nibiru is not near us at the current time.
Sitchen uses our legends and myths to point to the possibility that we have been nurtured as a civilization over many thousands of years. Myths, like Isis coming to earth and teaching us how to use wheat, for example. And stories in the Bible of encounters with God, the building of the Temple during which instructions came from the heavens each deay, the guiding of Moses through the wilderness, the reference in Kings of angels marrying mortals and producing 'giants in the earth.'
I think a lot more people entertain the theory of visitation than we realize. I cannot rule it out, but I also cannot rule out that what we perceive to be UFOs are just our own developing technology. Of course, the whole universe
COULD all just be a big fractal show on a really BIG computer screen and we will all vanish when some spoiled, obnonixious, really big brat cuts off the power for the night! LOL ...... And THAT's what
could be outside our universe!~ Scary isn't it? Or our solar system could just be an electron of an atom on the tattered and dirty pants of some cosmic hobo! The possibilities are endless.
