Aliens and UFO's Sightings in Ancient History and Paintings

[bojan]

It was (and still is) in Zagreb, Croatia.

[FredSnerd (Claude)]

We are planning a trip on the adriatic (and Aegean) when my wife finishes up work in 2 years time. Saw some pics of Zargreb abd dubrovnic. They look great. Cant wait

[TrevorW]

I still have "Chariots of the Gods" in my bookcase the first edition was published in 1969, I have the third print from 1973. I still remember the controversy created by his book at that time and the ridicule published about Von Daniken from the scientific community at that time.

All I can say is time will tell

Maybe in the future we evolve into alien looking creature's, time travel back in time to 10,000 bc. and see ancient humans and they document it with paintings and stuff....

Or they could just be children's play dolls and children's paintings...

It's all hocus pocus, stuff we are alone in this vast wilderness of space.

Seems a bit like religious texts doesn't it?
Fostered by those with a vested interest

Sir Humphrey: Here are the candidates for the new Bishop of Canterbury.

Hacker: Tell me Humphrey - do any of these people actually believe in God?

Sir Humphrey: Oh good heavens NO minister!

Bojan, you're just confabulating. But don't worry, it's just an effect of the neuralizer.

Someone fabricate a UFO sighting? As if...

(I did manufacture an image of Halley's comet once, though, out of cut-out cardboard and yewberries with the stalks still on. It nonetheless fooled some of my friends...)

It took us 2 million year to get from rocks to swords - then 2000 years to get from swords to guns
Then 200 years to get from guns to missiles.
Oddly it has taken us only 100 years to get from radio to computers and 10 years from computers to super computers that can individually store the complete literary output of humanity before this century.

You're telling me we didn't derive the technology from somewhere else, whether by reverse engineering or direct instruction?

I keep taking the SD chip out of my camera and looking at it - in there, I can store about 30 hrs of video............ Thousands of photos.

My IPOD can store 120 gig of music, films and images. And show it to me on a screen 2 inches wide that can be magnified and still be clear..
I remember not long ago buying a huge hard drive that held 40 megabytes...... it came with a CD that held 3000 books including War and Peace the Q'ran and the Bible.

Governments do not tell us the whole story.
Things that arrive from space at plus light speeds - would they be visible? - nope because they'd be in a different dimension or something.
Thousands of things seen by thousands of people - they all say the craft are silent - so they don't interact with our reality at all in most cases.

If we see them or interact with them, it is because they want us to see them. Or they forgot to flip the cloak switch.

Horse used to kick up when they saw a car. They no longer do. We barely look up when someone says - hey a UFO - so it IS working

Please tell me why they would want to come to an insignificant dot of Rock Out of Billions of other insignificant dots of rock in our galaxy:question :

So, you're saying that because computer advancements are impressive that the technology must originate from extraterrestrials? Nothing to do with the millions of scientists and engineers and hundreds of billions invested in R&D building on all of the work that has gone before?

Even more amazing is the implication that 1/ governments run the world, 2/ governments are smarter than scientists and 3/ governments can keep a secret. Perhaps on another planet ..... ???

the universe is a huge we cant be alone

No, it's only an angle - but it's also a possibility - as are a lot of things, like parallel universes and dimensional jumps.

We really don't know much about science really - we can't even counteract gravity.

I guess that depends on the definition of "we" ...

- we can't even counteract gravity.

Powered flight? Electro-magnetic levitation? Stable orbit? We can't turn off the fundamental forces of nature, but we can counteract them with technology, as far as our advancement currently allows.

One thing to keep in mind with computer advancement is that it's one of the few areas where each generational development (say 18 months to 2 years) is itself used as leverage to help develop the next generation, hence Moore's Law. So, for an 18 mth cycle, over 20 years, a 40MB hard disk turns into 320GB without breaking a sweat.

Technology is often driven by conflict , don't know where I read it but the saying was something along the lines of-

"Wars are inevitable without them man would still be living in a cave"
