ALIENS: A MYTH OR REALITY?

The mystery and doubts about extra-terrestrial life has been creating a lot of curiosity for quite some time. This has led to a lot of speculation as well as scientific investigation, but the questions still remain unanswered.

It all began with the 1947 incident of Roswell, New Mexico, when a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) was believed to have crashed on earth. According to the FBI, debris of the UFO and three dead bodies of aliens were supposedly discovered. The US government, obviously, concealed many of the facts, thus leaving this incident to remain a mystery. Although there are supposed to be quite a few UFO sightings even before this incident, it is this that began the sudden upsurge of questions about aliens and extra-terrestrial life.

Though the upsurge of alien investigation began after the 1947 incident, there have been many occurrences throughout life that in some way or the other indicate or give hints of the existence of aliens. Some of the happenings have been as early as thousands and hundreds of years ago, which tells us that aliens might have been here much before than we had actually thought.

One of the most intriguing evidences of existence of aliens has been found in human evolution. The human species of Homo neanderthalensis or Neanderthals were far more superior in intelligence and adaptability compared to their predecessors, the Homo erectus. The Neanderthals were quite similar to the Homo sapiens. Some paleanthropologists and anthropologists believe that this change is not a natural process and that some kind of mutation was involved in the evolution from the Homo erectus to the Neanderthals. The Neanderthals came into existence about 250, 000 years ago. According to some of the paleanthropologists and anthropologists, aliens had come to earth at that time and transferred their genes into the existing humans and thus caused them to evolve into new, intelligent, and far more superior human beings.

Another very much intriguing indication of the existence of aliens, are the great pyramids of Egypt. The ancient Egyptian civilization was established in the 3rd millennium BC, specifically around 3150 BC. The great pyramid of Giza was believed to be completed around 2560 BC. The other Egyptian pyramids were also believed to be built somewhere in the 26th century BC. The pyramids were built by huge pieces of blocks of stone with each block weighing about 2-3 tonnes. The pyramids were also built with a great amount of accuracy. The walls of all the pyramids are perfect equilateral triangles, i.e. each angle is of exactly 60 degrees. Each angle even inside of all the pyramids is of exactly 60 degrees. Although there are many theories of how the pyramids were built, it seems to be almost impossible that they were built by humans. It is hard to believe that humans in such an ancient era, without any advanced technology, built the pyramids with such huge blocks of stone and that too with so much accuracy. There seems to be some kind of technology used to build them. This gives an indication that the ancient Egyptians might have got a helping hand from a superior and much advanced species, which could be aliens. There is a strong possibility that aliens had come to Earth and helped them, for whatever reason, in building the pyramids.

There is a lot of art work on the walls inside the pyramids. Among all these works, the most amazing thing to be found is drawings of electric bulbs and electric wires. This shows that there is a possibility that the electric bulb was invented much before Thomas Edison, which is again very hard to believe. It is very dark inside the pyramids, therefore, it is very obvious that the ancient Egyptians used some kind of light for all the art work. The more logical method would seem to be the use of fire by burning charcoal. But, if this is so, then there must be a lot of black marks of burnt charcoal all over inside the pyramids. Amazingly, there are no black marks to be found inside the pyramids. This strengthens the possibility of the use of electricity by the ancient Egyptians. Again it seems to be impossible for people of an ancient era to use electricity. This also gives an indication of the existence of a superior species, probably aliens, at that time. It could be possible that aliens at that time had come and used their advanced technology to help them in building the pyramids and making the art work inside the pyramids. It maybe hard to believe this, but it is equally hard to believe that the ancient Egyptians had some advanced technology.

The ancient Maya civilization, established around 1800 BC, also gives some indication of the existence of aliens. The Mayans believed that their Gods lived in the sky and came down to interact with them and help them in solving their problems. It could be that these so-called Gods were aliens. It is possible that aliens used to come and interact with them. Due to their far superiority, the Mayans could have believed them to be Gods rather than aliens.

The cave drawings of the ancient Mayans are quite mysterious. In the caves there are drawings of figures that resemble UFOs. It cannot be mere imagination, because human imagination is based on something. At a time when even the wheel was not invented, it does not seem to be possible that Mayans imagined figures like UFOs without any reference. They might have obviously seen something like it and then drew it in their caves. Their caves also depict drawings of alien-like figures and figures resembling space-men.

The remains of the Nazca culture that flourished between 800 BC and 300 AD also gives an indication of existence of aliens. Archaeologists have found a runway kind of structure for aircrafts near the remains and believe that it was built in that time itself. It is obvious that if that is a runway for aircrafts it was in no way built and used by the people of the Nazca culture. Possibly, it was built by aliens and they used it to come down to Earth.

It is also believed that the famous Nazca lines, geoglyphs created by the Nazca people, had something to do with aliens. The Nazca lines comprise of many figures that include simple lines as well as figures like humming birds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, llamas, lizards, and a strange image of two large hands. The lines are so enormous that they cannot be seen from the ground. They can only be seen from a much higher place. They range in size from 16.8 to 238 yards (a football field is 100 yards). There seem to be many reasons for these to be created, one of them being religion. It is believed that these lines were created so that the Gods that lived in the sky could notice them and help them in their problems. Probably, they were sending some kind of message to aliens whom they believed to be Gods. It is possible that aliens used to interact with the Nazca people and during some kind of crisis they might have created the Nazca lines in order to call them back and help them out in their crisis.

All these occurrences have been in the past, about thousands of years ago, and this makes it difficult to prove them. Nothing much can be said about these evidences. But one thing is for sure that it is hard to deny them. Some archaeologists say that these evidences are so intriguing and good enough that the only way to disprove them is that if aliens themselves come and say that they were not here at that time.

Even today, we have come to know about many occurrences that give an indication of the existence of aliens. The most common of such occurrences are UFO sightings. UFOs are believed to be flying objects or spaceships in which aliens travel in space. There have been innumerable UFO sightings all over the world. Many people claim to have video clippings as well as still photographs of UFOs. Some of them have proved to be a hoax, but a lot of them seem to be authentic. There have been times when people from different countries have seen the same UFO at the same time. Some pilots have also claimed to have had close encounters with UFOs. They say that during such encounters they lose all their radio signals and when they attempt to track it, the UFO suddenly disappears. Even NASA claims to have videos of UFOs that were taken in outer space.

Perhaps the most convincing evidences of aliens are crop circles. Crop circles are huge geometric patterns that are made on fields. These geometric patterns are as large as a football field. The most amazing thing about them is that these patterns, despite being extremely large, are very accurate and are made in the span of just one night. There have been times that a crop circle has been made by a large group of people in order to prove that they are just pranks and have nothing to do with aliens. But, it is easy to differentiate between crop circles made by humans and the ones supposedly made by aliens. Firstly, the ones made by humans are not even close to the ones believed to be made by aliens, when it comes to accuracy and finesse. Secondly, and more importantly, when humans make crop circles, the crops get scattered all over. Whereas, in the ones believed to be made by aliens, the crops are flattened in a systematic manner.

It is believed that crop circles are made by the magnetic waves that come out from UFOs. Nobody really knows the purpose of crop circles. Some believe that they are made to give directions to UFOs. Others believe that they are some kind of abstract message by aliens to humans. There are others who feel that crop circles are just a way of aliens to tell humans that they exist.

The stories of alien abduction also tell a lot about the existence of aliens. There are people who claim that they have been abducted by aliens and that aliens have performed experiments on them. Skeptics argue that all these stories are made up. According to them these stories are either blatant lies or just a result of their imagination. They also say that such people have dreams in which they are abducted by aliens and that they get so much affected by it that they feel that the incident has actually occurred. However, there is so much clarity in the description of such stories that they seem to be true. Also, there is a striking similarity in the description of all the abduction stories, no matter which part of the world the individual belongs to. There are too much of similarities in the description of the way in which they were abducted, the ambience, and the things that aliens do to them. Such similarities between the experiences of people belonging to different countries cannot be just a coincidence. In USA there are many clubs for people who believe that they have been abducted by aliens. In these clubs they share their experiences to each other and in doing so they try to lessen their fearfulness and trauma that they go through while being abducted.

All these happenings, from the past till today, clearly show that there is something out there. Although these evidences give a good indication about the existence of aliens, somehow they are not conclusive enough. The evidences make us think that probably they exist, but nothing has yet been there that fully convinces us about their presence. Maybe the aliens themselves do not want us to be convinced about their existence and they might be playing the game of hide and seek with us humans, for reasons unknown.

Whether or not there is any concluding evidence, it is hard to imagine that Earth is the only planet that has life. Space has no limit and Earth is like a dust particle when compared to it. It cannot be that Earth is the only place in the entire cosmos where life exists.

It could also be that aliens are humans of the future. Millions of years ago, humans lived only in Africa. Gradually, due to human evolution, they moved out and spread in all parts of the Earth. It is quite possible that human evolution does not stop here. Maybe, in the future, humans further evolve and spread in outer space. They might be living many light years away and due to their advancement in technology they might be able to travel through time and come back to the past to have a look at their ancestors.

No one knows when the mystery of the existence of aliens is going to be solved. Nobody knows whether or not the mystery will ever be solved. But one thing is for sure that there are evidences that clearly give us an indication of the existence of aliens. These evidences may not completely prove their existence, but they are certainly not false and are good enough to believe. It is up to the individual to either believe the evidences that are there right now or wait until there is stronger evidence that give us undeniable proofs. Time will definitely give answers to all the questions and help in unraveling the mystery of aliens. Probably, one day aliens will themselves come and tell us about their existence. Then, there will be no other alternative than to believe that aliens do exist.

Ancient Metropolis Hidden Under Giza?

The Secrets of Thoth and The Keys of Enoch
By Paul White

*Just after the Deluge, at the dawn of the present time cycle, an era the Egyptians called ZEP TEPI, "The First Times", a mysterious group of "gods" appeared, to initiate the survivors in the rudiments of civilisation. From Thoth and Osiris in Egypt, to Quetzacoatal and Viracocha in the Americas, traditions worldwide subscribe the origins of contemporary civilisation to this sophisticated group*. Despite the misleading popularity of Von Danikan journalism, evidence from around the world, indicates these people were the hi-tech survivors of the previous civilisation. Like the nuclear survival bunkers and secret research facilities of our own civilisation, there were those who arose from the underground "cities of the Gods", after the dust settled. They were the "prediluvian patriarchs", like Enoch and Methuselah, the "giants and heroes of old", mentioned in Genesis. The enigmatic gods of ancient Summer, Egypt and India, all hail from the fabulous times before the Flood. Since the declassification of the new ground-penetrating radar 2 years ago, the most staggering data has emerged of complex and labyrinthine underground systems in various parts of the world. At places like Guatemala in the South Americas, tunnels have been mapped under the Mayan pyramid complex at Tikal, which extend a full 800 kilometres to the opposite side of the country. Investigators remarked, it was possible to understand how half a million Mayan Indians escaped the decimation of their culture. In similar fashion, the SIRA radar was deployed in Egypt as early as 1978, mapping an extraordinary subterranean complex beneath the Egyptian pyramids. Arrangements made with President Sadat of Egypt, resulted in three decades of top secret excavations to penetrate the system. At a recent meeting in Australia, one of the key scientists on the Giza project, Dr. Jim Hurtak, showed film footage of work in progress called, CHAMBERS OF THE DEEP, due to be released at the end of the century. The film reveals the discovery of a vast megalithic metropolis, 15,000 years old, reaching several levels below the Giza plateau. While the rest of the Nu-Age speculates about a hidden chamber under the left paw of the Sphinx, the legendary "City Of The Gods", lays sprawled beneath. Complete with hydraulic underground waterways, the film shows massive chambers, the proportions of our largest cathedrals, with enormous statues, the size of the Valley of the Nile, carved in-situ. Researchers, risking their lives with lights and cameras, carefully negotiated rubber dinghies across subterranean rivers and kilometer-wide lakes, to penetrate sealed chambers beyond. Already, remarkable caches of records and artifacts have been found. It is the legacy of a civilisation and a technology way beyond our own. A technology capable of creating a vast underground city, of which the sphinx and pyramids are merely the surface markers. The project scientist, Dr. Hurtak, likens it to the impact of contact with an advanced extraterrestrial culture. He described it as the discovery of the Fourth Root culture, the so-called Atlantean civilisation, destroyed by the last earth tumble. It presents unequivocal evidence that all languages, cultures and religions trace back to a single common source, which Dr. Hurtak refers to as the "Parent Civilisation". The technology unearthed is way beyond machine technology, as we know it. As Arthur C. Clark once joked, "any technology beyond our own would seem like magic to us." According to Dr. Hurtak, this was a culture who cracked the genetic code and possessed the keys of the physical spectrum, the "Higher Light Physics" of the ancients... everything old Gilgamesh went searching for in his famous trek to the lost "City of the Gods" to search the tunnels beneath "Mt. Mashu" in the desert lands. Hurtak refers to a "language of light" and a great priest-scientist of the previous time cycle, named ENOCH, who is associated with the building of the Great Pyramid complex. Hurtak alludes to a grand spiritual science, a science which describes a genetic stairway to the stars. The priest-scientist ENOCH, is a prediluvian patriarch, one of the most famous and seminal characters of the previous time cycle. Father of Methuselah and great grandfather of Noah, Enoch is credited in the Bible as architect of the original Zion, the legendary "City of Yahweh", as well as inventor of the alphabet and calendar. Enoch is also history's first astronaut, who "is taken aloft by the Lord" and shown "the secrets of earth and heaven". He returns to earth with the "weights and measures" for all humankind. Known to the Egyptians as THOTH, the "Lord of Magic and Time" and to the Greeks as HERMES, "messenger of the gods", he is even remembered in the Celtic tradition as the enigmatic wizard Merlin, who disappears up an apple tree to mythic Avalon, seeking the secret of immortality and vowing to return. As one who attained immortality, the secret of how we "might become as gods", Thoth/Enoch promises to return at the end of time "with the keys to the gates of the sacred land." In the controversial Dead Sea Scrolls, revealing the lost Books Of Enoch removed from the Bible by early religious leaders, Enoch describes a wondrous civilisation in the past, who misused the keys of higher knowledge and were unable to save themselves from the last cataclysm. Both literally and figuratively they lost the "keys", they lost all higher knowledge. Yet, Enoch, along with many traditions, even the Mayan legend of Quetzacoatal, promises a return of this knowledge at "The end of time", the end of the present time cycle. Biblical Revelations promise "all will be revealed" at the end of the present world. The extraordinary discoveries in Egypt and other parts of the world, describe not just an advanced technology but, evolutionary path beyond our present state. Careful scientific examination of the world's key pyramid sites, reveal them to be sophisticated harmonic structures, not only mirroring positions of the planets and stellar systems but, designed to mimic the chakras and harmonic cavities of the human body. Even each stone within the Great Pyramid is harmonically tuned to a specific frequency or musical tone. The sarcophagus in the centre of the Great Pyramid is tuned to the frequency of the human heart beat. Astonishing experiments, conducted by Dr. Hurtak and colleagues at the Great Pyramid and other sites in the South Americas, demonstrate the pyramids to be voice-activated "geophysical computers." Intoning specific ancient sounds, the scientific team produced visible standing waves of light, above and within the pyramids and were even able to penetrate, hitherto, inaccessible chambers. Subsequent discoveries indicate the ancient priest-scientists employed some sort of harmonic sound technology within the temple structures. The lost Enochian knowledge reveals the mother tongue as a "language of Light". Known to the ancients as HIBURU, it is the primal seed language, introduced at the beginning of this time cycle. Modern research confirms, the most ancient form Hebrew to be a natural language, the alphabetic forms emerging from the phosphene flare patterns of the brain. The same shapes, in fact, born of a spinning vortex. It is a true language of light, coursing through our very nervous system. Encoding the natural waveform geometries of the physical world, Hiburu is a harmonic language, mimicking the waveform properties of light. The "keys" Enoch speaks of, turn out to be sound keys, keys to be vibratory matrix of reality itself, the mythic "Power of the World". The Enochian knowledge describes sonic equations, encoded within the ancient mantras and god names, capable of directly affect the nervous system and producing profound effect of healing and higher consciousness states. As the ancient texts declare, "If you would speak with the gods you must first learn the language of the gods." DNA, the ancient cabalistic "Tree Of Life" portrayed in the Biblical Torah, is now coming to be viewed as a live vibrating structure, rather than a fixed tape recording. Many modern scientists, regard DNA as a shimmering, waveform configuration, able to be modified by light, radiation, magnetic fields or sonic pulses. The legacy of Thoth/Enoch suggests this "language of Light", the harmonic science of the ancients, could actually affect DNA. The evidence in Egypt, indicates this was the grand 6,000 year genetic experiment attempted by the Egyptians, the quest for immortality and the stars, a quest described by the great ones of old, a quest initiated by Gilgamesh so very long ago. The Egyptians were not fixated on the afterlife, as thought by early Christian translators but, focussed on creating a higher type of human. Along with many ancient cultures, they believed DNA came from the stars and was destined to return. The knowledge of Thoth/Enoch implies humans are meant to evolve beyond our present terrestrial form, as the Bible tells us, "we may become greater than angels". The Egyptians record stories of the "Star Walkers", occasional individuals who, like Enoch, travelled "beyond the Great Eye of Orion" and returned, to walk like gods amongst men. Despite the bleaching of semi-divine beings from modern consciousness, could it be possible, as the ancient texts insist, we are destined to "become as gods"? are the Mayan "Lords of Light" and the Egyptian/Tibetan "Shining Ones" really a higher form of human? According to many earth legends, such beings are supposed to return regularly, at the beginning and end of each time cycle, the 13,000 year half-point of our solar system's 26,000 year zodiacal orbit around galaxy centre. Because of conditions on our galactic orbit, these 13,000 year intervals or "worlds", seem to be separated by cataclysmic upheaval. According to the "calendar in stone" of the Great Pyramid, which describes the so-called "Phoenix Cycle" of our galactic orbit, the present time period ends (converted to our present calendar) in the year 2012 AD. The Greek word PHOENIX, derived from the Egyptian word, PA-HANOK, actually means, "The House of Enoch". The Enochian knowledge suggests, these regular cataclysmic changes act as an evolutionary agent provocateur, to quicken the resident life forms to the next evolutionary phase, prior to exodus from the womb planet. Human evolution may proceed more rapidly than previously thought. The evidence now appearing, records civilisations before us, who mastered the physical continuum and progressed beyond this world. There were also those who failed. We, too, have equal opportunity to make it or break it. The discoveries emerging from Egypt, describe the existence of a world wide pyramid temple system in prehistory, mounted like antennae on the key energy meridians, which were employed by ancient priest-scientists as a musical system to stabilize the tectonic plates of the planet... cataclysmic geology at it's finest. From the mother tongue word JEDAIAH, meaning "the way of the Word" or "the power of the Word", the ancient JEDAI priests used the language of Light to tune the planet like a giant harmonic bell. Much is being rediscovered in the last days of this time cycle. In the words of Dr. Jay Franz, of the Omega Foundation, "even if we don't dare to name it, there is a universal feeling of something impending on the world stage." John Carlo

Scientists discover a nearly Earth-sized planet

HATFIELD, England – In the search for Earth-like planets, astronomers zeroed in Tuesday on two places that look awfully familiar to home. One is close to the right size. The other is in the right place. European researchers said they not only found the smallest exoplanet ever, called Gliese 581 e, but realized that a neighboring planet discovered earlier, Gliese 581 d, was in the prime habitable zone for potential life.
"The Holy Grail of current exoplanet research is the detection of a rocky, Earth-like planet in the 'habitable zone,'" said Michel Mayor, an astrophysicist at Geneva University in Switzerland.
An American expert called the discovery of the tiny planet "extraordinary."
Gliese 581 e is only 1.9 times the size of Earth — while previous planets found outside our solar system are closer to the size of massive Jupiter, which NASA says could swallow more than 1,000 Earths.
Gliese 581 e sits close to the nearest star, making it too hot to support life. Still, Mayor said its discovery in a solar system 20 1/2 light years away from Earth is a "good example that we are progressing in the detection of Earth-like planets."
Scientists also discovered that the orbit of planet Gliese 581 d, which was found in 2007, was located within the "habitable zone" — a region around a sun-like star that would allow water to be liquid on the planet's surface, Mayor said.
He spoke at a news conference Tuesday at the University of Hertfordshire during the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science.
Gliese 581 d is probably too large to be made only of rocky material, fellow astronomer and team member Stephane Udry said, adding it was possible the planet had a "large and deep" ocean.
"It is the first serious 'water-world' candidate," Udry said.
Mayor's main planet-hunting competitor, Geoff Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, praised the find of Gliese 581 e as "the most exciting discovery" so far of exoplanets — planets outside our solar system.
"This discovery is absolutely extraordinary," Marcy told The Associated Press by e-mail, calling the discoveries a significant step in the search for Earth-like planets.
While Gliese 581 e is too hot for life "it shows that nature makes such small planets, probably in large numbers," Marcy commented. "Surely the galaxy contains tens of billions of planets like the small, Earth-mass one announced here."
Nearly 350 planets have been found outside our solar system, but so far nearly every one of them was found to be extremely unlikely to harbor life.
Most were too close or too far from their sun, making them too hot or too cold for life. Others were too big and likely to be uninhabitable gas giants like Jupiter. Those that are too small are highly difficult to detect in the first place.
Both Gliese 581 d and Gliese 581 e are located in constellation Libra and orbit around Gliese 581.
Like other planets circling that star — scientists have discovered four so far — Gliese 581 e was found using the European Southern Observatory's telescope in La Silla, Chile.
The telescope has a special instrument which splits light to find wobbles in different wavelengths. Those wobbles can reveal the existence of other worlds.
"It is great work and shows the potential of this detection method," said Lisa Kaltenegger, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
