Aliens Have Visited Earth - Dr Ed Mitchell, 6th Man to Walk on the Moon (Kerrang!)

[DrewWilson]

He says it plenty of times and offers a few thoughts on the matter... to the completely stunned radio DJ. Listen for yourself:

Probably one of the most respectable person to ever say these things.

[Signa]

I listened to the interview, and it was interesting to say the least. I really can't decide if it makes enough sense though.

If peaceful aliens have been visiting us, what do they want, and what have they been doing? You don't travel X number of light-years just to knock on your neighbor's door and give them a fruit cake and then leave. especially if those neighbors are caveman hillbillies.

[riprat]

Reading about this guy and the "spiritual awakening" he had while he was in space proves he is a little wacky.

Just maybe aliens took over his body while in space.

[Signa]

all i can add is that a lot of smart people can be a little insane. it's just shocking that an astronaut got through whatever filters NASA has for the insane geniuses.

[carpefile]

It always amazes me that people can believe that we haven't been visited by aliens numerous times.
When you look at ancient geoglyphs, created in some cases over 2000 years ago, it would seem pretty obvious that they weren't intended to be viewed by humans since they can only be seen from high altitudes.
When you think about egyptian mythology it contains tons of references to aliens.
Think about the engineering feats of the pyramids, no one has been able to explain how they were built.
How about the biblical miracles? Parting seas and burning bushes that speak would be child's play to a space faring intelligence.

Earth is most likely unique in its makeup or at least extremely rare, its no wonder it would be visited.

There is most definitely intelligent life out there, to think that in this mind bogglingly huge universe, we are it, is just ridiculous.
Given that our solar system is young in our galaxy, which is young within our universe, it would make sense that there are civilizations that achieved stellar space travel before earth was even formed at all.

The question really is, how can you justify NOT believing in other intelligent life?

Many people have theories on how the pyramids were built and most make sense. Quite frankly the only limitation we have now to repeat the feat is the cost of man power. We no longer have a replacement for slave labor. Personally I would really like to know where this miss conception comes from because it seems to have existed for many many years. I mean is it really that hard to believe that thousands of people, working around the clock could build the pyramids? As for the exactitude of the labor I can explain that if you would like me to.

As for the sky facing hieroglyphs, my opinion of those is simple. Many religions were based off of nature and either peoples fascination with their surroundings, or their environments ability to sustain them. The sky offers many phenomenon for which to be amazed. The shift from day to night, clouds, lightning, rain, stars, planets, meteors, aurora borealis, I'm sure there are more. With all these phenomenons happening, its no surprise people looked, worshiped, dreamed in relation to the sky, heavens, space, whatever you wanna call it. The hieroglyphs are no proof of aliens, only proof that we are fascinated with the sky.

Even tho I disapprove of your proof, I do still believe there must be other life out in space. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to find that there is other human like specimens. If evolution, big band and chemistry is anything to go by, I have to believe that the properties that favored the developement of our planet has to be present on one of the billion others in the universe. Not only that but their is a predisposition for certain chemical interactions and biological mutations that must be present no matter where a planet is situated in the universe. This, I theorize, is because the laws of chemistry found here must follow the same rules at the other end of the universe.

[riprat]

There is most definitely intelligent life out there, ...

Show me proof of this and I might believe you. The problem is, you cant. These geoglyphs, pyramids and Egyptian mythology that you speak of prove nothing. I have seen and read many scientific studies proving that all of these could have been man made and most likely were.

What amazes me is that people actually think we are evolving and are smarter than those 5 or 6 thousand years ago. The Industrial Revolution has made us far more ignorant and lazy.

[RACKnRAIL]

I'm not saying the universe does not possibly have other life forms, just to be clear. However, there isn't one shred of solid evidence to support anything ET on earth.

I would like real proof, if I am to buy into little green men on planet earth.

[drtoker]

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong...

I think we are the aliens, and don't actually belong here.

But what do I know...

[Signa]

i totally believe that there IS other life out there. but i dont think that they have been to earth.

[carpefile]

I knew some bold statements would get a rise.
The slave thing with the pyramids has been disproven. In archeological digs, they have only been able to find housing for at most a couple thousand people. In order for a pyramid to be built in the timeframe they suppose they were (20 to 30 yrs each), about 300 blocks (each weighing 1.5 to 3 tons) would have to be placed daily. This doesn't include the interior passages, or the hieroglyphics art. 2000 people did that?

While we are on the topic of pyramids, why did the Incans and Mayans also build them? They never encountered Egyptions, so, what, they just happened to come up with the same idea on their own?

Of course you can't prove aliens have visited or even that they exist. People accept lots of things that can't be proven as fact.
How about quarks? How about black holes? No one has ever seen either one, but people accept them as fact because mathematically they have been shown to exist.
Well mathematically speaking, it is ridiculous to think that out of the billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars and billions of planets, that our little insignificant speck of a planet is the only one to be inhabited by intelligent life.

The idea that mankind is so special that there couldn't be any other intelligent life on the billions of other planets is extraordinary. The "choked in the womb for 6 hours by their own umbilical cord" sort of extraordinary.

[Signa]

How about black holes?

I thought those are known to exsist from photos because of abesence of light around them because of the massive gravity that pulls even the light in.

Here have fun, yes its Wikipedia its credible for the most part. Apparently I was mistaken, the current hypothesis is that they were not slaves (I think I knew that). Anyway, we know theoretically how many people it would of taken to build the pyramids in the given time frame, and that is using the methods we believed they could have achieved. The population required was around at the time, if they used 15 000 people is anyone guess. Archeology is not an exact science, it only gives us a glimpse of the times. So until we get concrete proof of how it was built we will never have a guaranteed answer. But what I do know is that it was definitely possible for humans to build the pyramids on their own.

As for multiple cultures building pyramids, its simple. Its the easiest tall structure to build. When someone grabs a bucket full of blocks with intentions of building a stable tall structure, what do they build?

[Mels_Smileys45]

Black holes have been observed. There has to be life out there somewhere. I just wonder how special we truly are. Whats the arithmetic on another planet evolving just like the Earth did? What made shit want to grow out of the Earth? What force drives life to exist in the state as we know it? Why does a blade of grass spring from the dirt? Does it want to live? Is the Earth gave birth to all life then isnt the Earth a living being as well?


I gotta lay off the hashish while posting

[mountain_rage]

My summer job as a lawn technician has taught me that the grass is alive and planning on taking over the world. In fact grass comes from another planet and is just an inconspicuous way for the aliens to get us to grow them. That's just the start, they have plants set on our planet for the sole purpose of mind control.

[carpefile]

Round Up to the rescue.
Ok fine.
Black holes have been observed in the deep recesses of my garage fridge, the pyramids were built by one ambitious guy on a bicycle treadmill and we are alone in the universe.

Those guys in Atlantis at the center of the Earth are laughing at us.

ah the Gaia theory as seen in the final fantasy movie. Ive thought about the potential of the earth being a living being, and that we are all living on it like parasites. If the earth is a living being, i sure feel bad for it. even the plants grow out of it's "flesh" to survive for themselves. and plants are supposed to be an indication that a place is lively and uncorrupted.

Ahhhh, but hair grows out of our body and we cut it off all the time. Do you feel bad for the hair? DO bald people make you happy?

[DrewWilson]

I have wondered if somewhere in the universe, an alien has commented, 'of all the places humans had to live, they had to be next to the prankster aliens that show themselves only to the mentally unstable and the government officials.' (whether the two belong in the same category is up to debate of course) ;)

[Signa]

but hair doesnt grow from seeds, nor is is separable from the body. trees and grass are not part of the earth. they have seeds, and need to reproduce in order to make more trees and grass. you could argue that oil is part of the earth, as we dont know 100% certain where it comes from. we call it fossil fuel because thats just our best guess.

[mungopw]

aliens have not visited earth they have colonized it.....with humans, we are the aliens, look how well we fit in this ecosystem.

Seeds and grass and....well everything in and around us is from the Earth. Maybe all the creatures and plants are the mothers way of seeking answers. I like to think we all have a purpose but for some reason we just don't know what its all about. I like to think that. Its as good as another bullshit story I guess.

[Signa]

i will agree with you there mels.
