Who believes that alien visitations were perhaps the main cause of the technological and cultural jumps we've seen over the centuries?
There has been so much speculation regarding alien visits and possible collaborations throughout the years that it's impossible not to be suspicious. Things like the Egyptian Pyramids are true mysteries and Alien technology is a probable answer.
The universe is so vast that it would be selfish of us to think that we're all alone in it.
yeah there are other beings somewhere in the universe but i dont think they are the reason for our technology but the thought of aliens has sparked inventions
Many local legends describe Gods coming from the sky, which could be a clear indication of ancient civilizations interacting with aliens. There are parts of our history that even with today’s technology could not duplicate. The Mayan calendar required knowledge of the cosmos that did not exist until the late 1900s. The Lines of Nazca Peru are on a massive scale and to create those lines without modem linear devices would be next to impossible- not too mention that they could not even be appreciated or seen until modern civilization flew above them and noticed the pictures. Everyone is familiar with the question of how exactly did the Egyptians and other civilizations build pyramids that lines up with specific constellations.
We have no clue as to how these feats were done during those time periods. In the absence of knowledge we look for answers in the unknown and improvable. Did aliens teach humans early on about construction, physics, astronomy, and technology? It is as valid of a theory as any other I have seen to explain our societal evolution
I hope there are aliens out there helping us along with technology,just look how far we have come in such short years.
Yeah AngelsMort but wouldn't that mean that humans are unable to develope on their own and that they need external help to be able to come up with new technology and science? I'm not sure I want to believe that we are unable to progress on our own.
I would say that anything is possible. I have heard that ancient Egypt and its technological advances had strong ties with alien entities from the Sirius star system. Drunvalo Melchizedek in his book Ancient Secrets of the Flower of Life talks a little bit about that.
I have heard some very far fetched ideas about this.
One is that humans are actually half alien half primate hybrids. We were supposedly bred this way to mine for miners such as gold in the past for alien slave masters. The aliens lacked the strength needed to do it themselves and primates lacked the intelligence to follow through on orders. So there you have the interesting primate/alien half breed.
Now do I take a lot of stock in this notion. I sure don
t because it is just to far out there for me to believe. However, I suppose it could have gotten the ball rolling on human intelligence and evolution took over from there. Who really knows anyway?
I think that our technology has advanced because of our own people. But I also think that somethings have been developed by using models of captured alies ships
I do believe we are not the only race out there, and some amazing discoveries from our past could in doubt prove that they may have gotton ideas from somewhere. Weather from aliens, yet we in ourselves may be aliens pplanted on earth from other colonies. so maybe the wisdom was brought from others.
They don't exist...man is resourceful...they were given the higher formed brain for a reason...aliens didn't make Gates a genius or Einstein.If man thinks long and hard enough...he is able to do anything.
I believe the nephilm are alien and there DNA splicing made up what we are to day.
I think were something to be feared or the ufo’s would land and the little grays wouldn’t run when we happen to bump into them.
I think it’s been going on for some time and it’s dimensional not out there in space ships, most folk law and older religions all talk of other world beings and so forth some even say they fly space ships the Indian one … to early to remember right now… just woke up
Let me have me cup of tea and ill be back
I see two different lines of ideas here, first the acceptanc of life in other planes, secondly that they affected our history.
As to the first one, I entirely believe that there is life in other planes, as a Christian I can not see an all powerful god creating life in one planet alone, the universe would seem redundant. There are thousands of galaxies, each containing thousands stares, with many of them havin planets, if there are 10 million stars, and only 10% of the stars have planets, that would give us a million planets with stars, if in those planets only 10% sistained life, that would give us 100000 planets with life in it, if only 10% was humanoid that would give us 10000 planets with humanoids in it. And these numbers are conservative to make the math easier.
well so many cultures have myhs about strange creatures from the stars giving uslanguage, teaching us writing, or bringing us the knowledge of fire that you have to wonder if there is something in it.
what about the Dogon tribe? they have myths about beings from Sirius Beta teaching them manythings - yet until the last century our telescopes were incapable of even detcting Sirius Beta. they even know thw correct trajectory of it's orbt.
well, it's been mostly accepted that the main alien invasions probably took place in the 40s and 50s. i don't really think that aliens were responsible for the technological growth of the 90s. i think people were just ready to start opening their minds to newer technologies.
I don't think we are alone in the cosmos.
If we are an experimental project, it seems to have been abandoned.
What is more likely is that ancient civilizations, ones predating those that we know so much about (greco-roman), achieved technological advances that were then lost.
What has been discovered appears to be leaps in one area --- geometry, perhaps, or astronomy --- without concurrent developments in medicine or engineering (combustion engines). This could be accurate or we just haven't discovered the missing pieces.
Perhaps the ancients were precise practitioners of astral projection and that helped when the Nazca lines were made.
Not until the Renaissance (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong) was there an explosion of thought across-the-board, in science, medicine, philosophy, art, music, law.
Civilizations that collapsed, vanished, raise many more questions for me about humanity, and our role in their demise.
I believe that ancient mysteries are the cause of alien visitation. But aliens aren't visiting us now and giving us the technology we have nowadays. I just think that human are getting smarter.
I believe we are not alone. I think that there are probably many other civilizations out there, be it in the dimension or another. There is no way for us to get a definitive answer, but I do think that God must have been really bored to have created all this for just us. Maybe the others are waiting for us to advance beyond out violent natures before they come back to show themselves to us. Also, I think it could be entirely possible that they are not in fact little green man, but possibly look enough like us to blend in and observe us right here and now. I for one hope that we do discover other civilizations and join with them.
I am sure that there are other life forces out there but that they have been aiding us in our technology, no, I just can't see that......at least not in a one on one correspondence.
It could be possible...although don't forget a lot of stuff is being walked on without the knowledge of the general public...and when there are wars a lot of technology was made so secret messages could be made a decoded...
AREA 51, part of the Nellis Air Force Base is approximately 80 to 125 miles northwest of Las Vegas. At Area 51 the U.S. government has been test flying highly secret BLACK PROJECT aircraft for many years, several people think this includes UFO's. They call one part of this military site Groom Dry Lake area. It has been proven the Stealth and SR 71 projects were built and tested at this famous Area 51. People who work in and around this military installation refer to this highly secret area as "Dreamland" or "Skunkworks" or sometimes just "Groom Lake."

anything is possible i ssssuppossse. maybe we are all a genetic experiment ssomewhere...or maybe earth is the place they put all the genetic mistakes....
There are so many conspiracy theories regarding Aliens, Area 51 is just one of them. All hail the men in black.
Aliens were here in the past and are here with us now! We are not ready to accept the fact that We Are Not Alone!
thats so true V, but it would still be a nice though to think we have friends out there trying to help us just a little bit?
Ofcourse, I can only imagine all the things they could contribute to science and society.
i have pondered this many times it is all possible and who would really believe that we are the only planet with life there has to be some out there that are more advanced then us and also some less advanced
I fully believe in the existence of life outside of our planet. I also believe that somehow or another, we gained access to alien technology at some point in our history and that slowly, deliberately, this technology has been leaked into the mainstream which has allowed us, as a human race, to grow exponentially within the last 100 - 150 years.
When you look at the time line of how long we have existed as humans, doesn't it seem that if we had the progress we have had in the last two centuries, wouldn't we be much further advanced than we already are?
Thousands and thousands of years of humanity, and only within the last 150 or so years, we have all of this technology, knowledge and ability (electricty, cures for diseases that ravaged humankind for centuries, the ability to communicate over long distances, flight, nuclear energy, just to name a couple) that we lacked previously? That is a lot of progress jam packed into a small amount of time. I am not saying that humankind couldn't have been able to make such progress on their own, but that if we had been growing as a whole, at the rate we previously has been, than perhaps it would have taken much, much longer.
What could be the reason for such concentrated growth in our timeline?
To me, one of the reasons could be that our governments on this planet have somehow gotten their hands on alien technology and perhaps have been slowly understanding it, and making use of it to progress humanity in one way or another.
On another related note, I also find it interesting that in so many creation myths thoughout this world, there are mentions of what could be perceived as "alien" influence. For an example, the Kiowa Apache origin stories include mention of, "a thin disc, one side yellow and the other side white, appearing suspended in midair" that came out of the darkness to basically seed this planet with life. Within this disc, they believe sat a small bearded man that they refer to as "One Who Lives Above", and this 'man' is the creator of life, as we understand it, on earth.
Interesting, no?
one word:
Necronomicon
one more:
Sumerians
it is said that they do exist
In way if you look at the past, the way thing were done, like the pyramids, they can not be made even to this day by any man, but back then they made them. Aliens have been a big part of are lives. I think now that the government has covered things up, none really come back to the earth.
I think it is a great theory. Man has come a very long way in a short time, I dont believe that some things we could of made happen unless there was some technology from something else passed on. We went from learning to fly to stealth technology so fast it is unbelievable.
Interesing theory indeed, we could go into the ideal of area 51 and the roswell incident, leading to the technology of stealth aircraft and even fusion submarines, but who really knows for sure. I think it is possible some of our technology leaps may have been affected by an outside source.
Maybe they lost their funding for interplanetary research.
What if we were alone?
maybe they did. i mean, there are so many stupid people on this planet, it would make sense that some smarter being gave us a helping push in the technological direction.
If a crack head can make a pipe out of darn near anything, then man can build a pyramid without outside help. Ever since we had the wheel we began to make pulleys, (assisted by the GODs?) No the Lever. I find most people that cling to UFO intervention are replacing god based beliefs with cosmic myth instead. I mean god is .. okey for one thing so long now we need more advanced beings to give credit to, I tell you this if they gave use this knowledge they will want something in return.. why would they be so sneaky.. why are they always interacting with washed up would by sci-fi writers that have ties to time share groups. will one of them ever channal a book to a devote that is not daily devotional readers digest replacing words like angels with .. "alien embodied voices names" . The best UFO technology I have seen is A Black light spot light and a metallic kite.
i don't think that aliens have anything to do with what the world has accomplished. There are some very very very smart people and they have done it by theirselves. but ya never know maybe they are aliens in human form.
I would like to shame those aliens for letting use deplete our resources on this planet.. I mean if former technologies had been as "advanced as us we would be buried in their crap still. I mean could those former cililizations be so much better then us that they made just what they needed without waste..
So what now, society is not capable of handling technologies, so they tend to think it comes from outerspace? Gah, first man made god, and now god makes technology for man...How bloody ironic is that??
Not stating that "god" exists within the alien aspect, as being the omnipresence comes from outerspace and has an egg shaped head mind you...But come now.
Like society is to dumb to create technology with their own hands.
If they did they gave us to much to fast because it is piling up and we are getting no where with it.
Firstly, regarding the theory of the possibility that humanity got their hands on alien technology within the last two centuries (give or take fifty years) does not imply that it was a given or gifted technology.
The idea or even comparison of aliens to being a "God" is akin to comparing humans as "Gods" to any of the other creatures on earth. That, in my opinion, is ludicrous. A being or species that is further advanced than another does not make that species "God-like". Just further advanced, or farther along in evolution. So along that line, aliens are fallible and can make mistakes as well (just as humans do despite being further advanced or farther along the evolutional scale of the other creatures on earth). Such as crashing, for instance. If something of that magnitude crashed, it wouldn't be too hard to harvest the technology within whatever transportation they arrived in. It's not that far off to believe that our various goverments on earth could be capable of doing such a thing and keeping it confidential and/or covering it up.
Also, in this idea or theory, I am not stating that man could not have progressed as far as we have, alone. I am simply saying, that if we had, logically, it seems that we would have come to these advancements at a later point in time than when we did. Especially when you take into consideration the advances of the human race since humankind had invented the wheel.
Not to mention, the manufacturing of a crack pipe compared the architectural genius (for that time) of a pyramid is incomparable to me. In my opinion, animals (ranging from a primate to a crow) that are able to make crude tools to assist them is more of a realistic comparison to a drug addict and his ability to hollow out a lightbulb to smoke his drug. Furthermore, just so I am clear, I am also not saying that aliens built the pyramids or that mankind couldn't have done that on their own. They very well could have.
It's really a matter of thinking beyond ones own experiences and self-imposed boundaries. Thinking outside of the box, as the old saying goes, but at the same time, using science and logic as a foundation for possibilities. And with science and logic in hand, it is not a far jump to assume that there is other, sentient life beyond earth.
Irregardless, it is interesting that from the point of the wheel which was thousands upon thousands of years ago to 200 years ago, the progress was slow in going. But since then, the amount of technological progression is concentrated into a small line of time.
I still am not convinced that there was not some form of outside intervention, help, or thievery that jumped our progression along.
If aliens were the cause of our technology i thing our technology would be far more advanced then it is
I don't think so, but that's just my opinion. I think that there are aliens, but they're just a different type of race living in different conditions, and we're probably a myth to them, as they are to us.
lots of speculation but NO proof. sure it is feasible to think that the ancient egyptians built the pyramids and its feasible that they had help. but its hard to prove any accusation like that.
Here is a little food for thought.
A lot of people point out that following the Roswell incident our technology seemed to make advances by leaps and bounds. This is true, but I think its mere coincidence. We as a society, were already gaining fast at that point.
Technology is exponential. Technology feeds the advancement of other technologies. If you know more about a certain technology you are less like to go through trial and error. Sure, you will still make mistakes, but the past has taught you valuable lessons. Mistakes need not be repeated if you are attentive.
Computers are a perfect example of this. I'm sure that most of us know how mast the lasted computer, software, video card etc. becomes obsolete.
Thats just my take on the whole thing.
♠ JS &spades:
Alien Technology from outside the box and people who venture there when they are not distracted by roadside attractions. Why is it that all those that claim they are "in the know" about UFOs are So selective to who they let interview them. why do they always claim affiliation with academic circles, or retired or active military? If they wrote sci fi I would call it plagerism at best. They always seem like they are quoting scripture or self help books. with aliens (greys)inserted in place of god or motivation.. what does it matter whether I believe tht you believe? what does anybody benefit from "witnessing a close encounter? Besides fiteen minutes of fame and a chance to plug a business venture. or publish imaginative theory.. under "non fiction", maybe even charge 250 dollars for a convention seat.
I'd more likely put belief in it being because of Transformers over aliens. ;]
Since we are just a speck in the Universe - the 'pale blue dot' as Sagan coined for our planet, anything is possible. But I like to think that we have achieved all of the technological advances on our own...plus, it irritates me when ancient cultures - many that are non-European - are credited with advances only because some alien helped them along the way - like they couldn't possibly achieve anything on their own!
I don't believe that aliens are responsible for our technological jumps. I believe that humanity's natural curiosity and adaptability are responsible.
I do not think that advancements in technology has been achieved by the help of aliens. I do believe that we are capable of achieving this without outside assistants.
Humanity had help discovering a lot of their achievements. Like fire. ;]
I doubt that aliens are influencing our technological advancements. I think our advancements in technology have been fueled by humanity's curiousity, or drive to make life easier.
Perhaps. I mean, something that has always stumped me was the Renaissance. Why all of a sudden, did we go from stick figures to amazingly detailed realistic paintings literally overnight?
Some people have speculated that painters learned to reflect the image onto the canvas and "trace" it. I only wish I could go back in time and find out for myself.
hmmm im suprised no one has said that the "aliens" are just evolved humans who have time traveled back to restructure a horrible time line lol
the easiest way for me to look at it is how did man go from stone wheel to being able to send sound and audio through beams of light without some guide? Zecharia Sitchin has books on the idea of alien interaction and technology jumps and such "the 12th Planet" is the start. . .
i think it is possible that aliens evolved from something that gradualy took place over time such as a metamorphises that adapted readily available to their own culture with the changes that occured over time
but then again the aliens could also have a big bang theory of how they became who/what they are today.
i think it is because of them and i think they are more advanced in travel than we are
I belive the goverment found some codes and things when they found that ailain ship
And sice made things with the codes like cell phones
posion - But if that were true wouldn't we have more advanced ways of travel? Possibly more fuel efficient...
I would answer this question with a defent YES. We tend to jump so quickly when something is designed. It took man hundreds of yrs to invent the plan and then within a matter of yrs we went from the Wright Brothers KityHawk to jets to rockets to stealth planes. Intervention by other race.....I would think so.
Watch series of these videos. They offer lots of information, as well how humans made a deal with aliens regarding the alien abductions of human life, in exchange for some more advanced technology.
More videos about shocking revelation of UFOs, and humans role in it.
It is dynamite.
I've always had this feeling that we are the experiment of a higher level of intelligence.
The universe if a huge Evolutionary Laboratory.........
And, the Earth is just one of many places where these higher levels of intelligence test their theories. Each "world" is given the ability to advance in stages--sometimes it will be taken away as these beings see fit; if a civilization starts to advance too quicklly, it can be "destroyed" (either through war, corruption or plagues), such as The Ancient Civilizations of Rome, Greece and Egypt--even the "Lost" Continent of Atlantis".........
I know it sounds a bit far fetched, but if I have thought of this "theory", I am sure there might be others who have too.
I agree with what you said PsiVampire, but I am not sure about that fact that the world is meant to be a a evolutionary process exactly.
There are many other already highly evolved and advanced species, and very close to us.
Rather an experiment of certain interest to those wich started it.
Interesting thread. Many theories come into play when I think of extra terrestrials or terra formers.
The idea that we as a planet are indeed being used as a laboratory experiment is something I have also considered and why not it would make sense. The concept that higher intelligence has managed to bypass emotions, emotions that within humanity are destructive to the developmental process, thus enabling a more profound knowledge of evolution and how to apply the stages of which. This would tie in to why ET would possibly be able to develop and evolve our understanding of the universe, through information guidance and indeed our own consciousness, thoughts being driven/managed to better develop us as a species. The reasons behind this, planetary advancement is the only frontier left for them? I don’t know.
Of course there is also the idea that perceived time is being managed by a higher intelligence to avoid a cataclysmic catastrophe- (blanket effect).
i so agree with MasterEmmanuel as i to am a christian
so i know god created the hevens and the earth.in heven there are angels so yeah i have to say that there are other life out there some were we just have not gotten the evadents yet.but even if we did some how come up with this evadents i am pretty damn sure our goverment would destroy it and destroy the people who had descoverd it.
because the goverment want to hide the truth about this kinda thing.the goverment has always been that way.
you mean directly like in indiana jones... or?
sure theres other life out there, it would be obscene to be the only life bearing planet in a massive beyond imagination universe. now of course the chances of life being more intelligent is likely. i mean look around people. (hint of irony) and well reaching out across the stars in search for life is not unlike the first steps we here have begun to take. imagine if you will we find some life out there, on a planet habitable to us. would we offer them technology?
or?
would we just take over their planet and slowly rape it and pillage it of resources, overpopulating it and eventually having to move on?
so in conclusion i find that more intelligent beings would not have the problems that we do, tho if they offered anything it would be some advice to keep our planet longer and advice to all fit on it.
A another one very intriguing video about aliens, humans, and technology.
As we can see the interaction is huge.
yes i think there out there but what i dont get it when people say the probe my butt why are they going to come hunders of miles to probe a butt it makes no sence there more to them coeming here then that i know there is
alot of stuff we have out now that we think is new is not.
They Had the Microwave oven Technology 20 years Before the fist one was on the shelf.
So Yeah I Think We Got Alot Of our Advances From Area 51.
i think we had to get this technology from somewhere, especially in this day and age..
Most of the new and old tech. came from NASA and the military
You know I have heard many times that alien technology has been used in advancing our military craft, and computers. We have had many jumps in technology that seem to have come from no where. It’s sad the technology we actually see is old technology; the cool stuff is hidden away, but for good reason. It would be interesting to see if alien technology has helped advance us, as per I doubt we are the only intelligent life in the universe.
I dont think we are alone there has to be other life forms out there. I have been told about two races of aliens one good and one bad and the good race has helped us in our technology so when we battle the bad we have some chance. Wether this is true or not doesnt really matter. I do believe our technology has jumped so much that we have to be getting some help from somewhere.
I cannot understand how the American Government can still think they can hide Area 51 from the public. I understand that things are of a high secret nature but the more you try and hide things the more ppl will try and discover what is happening. One day the truth will come out and then there will be no more cover up.
You would have to say that somewhere somehow we have gained technology from an outside source. We have come so far in a short time. We cannot be so clever. It took mankind 100's of yrs to advance to where we started to make cars and learn to fly. Then in less then 50 odd yr's we were sailing into space, flying stealh planes....something isnt right.
I also agree with tauruschick. If someone didnt try so dam hard to cover something up then we would try so hard to see what they were hiding.
hmmm...maybe there will be a united federation of planets soon lmao!
There may have been some "help" from the outside but I think it's more likely we've just forgotten a lot.
Think about it, it took us 250,000 years to go from fire to iron tools and only 2,000 years to go from iron to quantum computers. I doubt it.
We have had numerous ice ages, global wars and other catastrophes so this time is our only advanced civilization?
Heck if we all died today in 500 years there would be almost no evidence of our existence.
"But we haven't found anything" No we've found several things such as batteries and flying machines. Archeology has only been around for 140 years or so, to discover 400,000 years of human history.
We did it, not some guy from Zeta Reticuli.
I belive there is somthing else besides us our there.I know our goverment is hidding it from us
Too many mouths in the goverment to keep something like this under wraps for any length of time.
In general why is it always the governments fault? Come on guys can we not come up with a better explanation? lol
I crack up everytime I see this one.They are too busy trying to best one another ..you really think they could keep something like this hidden? Neh..
Well I for one am going not with the alien/extraterrestrials, but the time travelers coming back to assure we adapt in time for them to create the time machine to come back and correct what we planned that would have messed us up..
Even if aliens did influence our technology you'd figure it would be more advanced than current things.
The main factor holding up our civilian tech scene is profit (who has what to make off of the service created by a product. "Disposable cell phones" yea they can and do do that.. not here in America though, no profit can exclude tower use.
Look at the Recordable DvD, Tivo was choked twice before coming onto the market..
the reason why if we are getting our current tech from aliens that is not more high tech is the fact come on now if out of no where there was an anti gav car and there was no research done on it or nothing would that make you go what the fuck and where the fuck did that come from. i know i would.
to play devils advocate, i really dont blame the government if they do in fact hide evidence of "alien" existance....we are still trying to figure out how to live with our fellow humans....so you could imagine the impact of seeing a race far more advanced than us both in culture and technology.
I think that is very possible that we got a few things from "alien technologies". But for the most part I think the human race come up with most of it. :)
i don't think it was the main reason,if any i would have to say the main reason of technology is for use of war and for the advancements of having a more stable and secure future.
Wooooo *claps* I really think that is a brillant answer Count.. Nice mind you got there luv. I agree whole hearted.
why not could there plasuable truth to the leaps of humans through the years with technology, many civilations before us had proven to have working parts in idols and gears to drive machines. and for some person to come up and say hey try this. I do think that for some reason we are not alone in this universe and maybe subcounces or in form we are driven to leap and bound over so many years.
