Aliens. Extraterrestrial life. Humans have always had an interest in extraterrestrial intelligence. The speculation of extraterrestrial intelligence is popular these days both in mass culture and in science but belief in extraterrestrial intelligence goes back into ancient times. Extraterrestrial life is defined as life that does not originate from Earth. With the fascination of aliens among human, many became theorist. They believe that extraterrestrials with superior knowledge of science and engineering landed on Earth thousands of years ago sharing their expertise with early civilizations which forever changed the course of human history (Ancient Aliens). An example of this is Stone-hedge. How exactly did human place these heavy giant rocks on top of each other without any heavy machinery or tools. The only explanations one can come up with is with the help of extraterrestrials. So because of this, people have always tried to get in contact with extraterrestrial beings since the day of man.
With the fascination of extraterrestrial intelligence become more popular today, people are trying to figure out some of the mysterious and unexplainable things that are on Earth. They connect these mysteries with extraterrestrial intelligence. Erich von Daniken who is an alien theorist from the television show Ancient Aliens on the History Channel believe that thousands of years ago, extraterrestrials landed on Earth. Erich stated that “these beings were not only hailed as gods but also helped shape civilizations.” Erich explains that there are two types of evidence that these theory points to which are ancient religious texts and physical specimens such as pyramids, cave drawings and stone sculptures. Some evidence which can support this ...

...ave to fight to survive. Several movies that this pertains to as like, The End of the World, Alien, Alien vs. Predator, Battlefield, Cloverfield, The Day the Earth Stood Still, etc.. Although most of the movies out there are about the Earth being invaded, there are also movies like Paul which is a comedy. Since there are no real know sightings that have been discovered, it leaves humans with an unknown feeling about aliens. I feel that many questions come to my mind when i think of aliens. I wonder if I actually met one if they would be friendly or harmful and if they would teach us more about the galaxy around us. Human have alwys had an interest in extraterrestrial beings and would use them as a solution to explain many of the mysteries that Earth has. As long as extraterrestrials hold an interest in humans, there will always be people trying to connect with them.
An Analysis of “Alien” through the Lens of Jeffery Cohen’s “Monster Culture” The constraints of normality within today’s society often determine what or who does not fit the designated mold of behavior and character traits. Discrimination towards difference is seen throughout cinema, portraying characters that differ as dangerous and malicious in their actions, unethically predetermining their demeanor despite society’s implementation of provocation and selfish pursuits. Likewise, the antagonist extraterrestrial in “Alien”, by Ridley Scott, is misrepresented as a simple and malicious reptilian, personified as a foreigner in its own territory. The alien does not attack unless hunted first, signified by its feeble attempt to sleep within the
All of these definitions are exact and significant to this research because sometimes it is obvious people are unaware of the true meanings of these words. The meanings of extraterrestrials and aliens have been commonly misinterpreted. An extraterrestrial is something, living or nonliving, which is not from earth, while an alien can be something from earth, but is not native to its surroundings. An unidentified flying object is something that has never been officially recorded. In this case, the witnesses refer to th...
Sure we've all seen movies and read books about extraterrestrial beings landing on the Earth and conquering the human race. And millions of us have viewed TV shows like "The X-files" and "Third Rock From the Sun." These forms of popular culture share a common thread -- extraterrestrial life. Yet the underlying question is, does the mass media take extraterrestrialism seriously? Or do they mock it? Or do they simply exaggerate its credibility? In the majority of these cases, the mass media not only takes on the third mode of exaggeration, it shifts focus from more important and serious issues such as extraterrestrial life at the cellular level. The media loves to play with the minds of viewers, making them believe in something which realistically is probably untrue.

... highly equipped technology that humans do not have yet, while others insist these are just one of many hoaxes. Believing these are made by aliens will impact greatly on current society because the biggest religion in the world will be proved wrong. Some even say it is impossible for aliens to exist, but we must leave both options open, since we can never predict the future. Even a few hundred years ago, humans thought the earth was flat. Then we found out the earth is not the center of the universe. Recently, we can now travel to other stars and only collect samples. Because we know not even 1% about the universe, I think anything can be possible. Just a week ago, a news released that Vaticans are holding a conference for possible alien beings(fox). Maybe, we humans are just getting adopted to accept other intelligent beings as planned by unknown sources.
Even though, there is much debate about the purpose of the aliens, there is more agreement about the types of aliens that are reported. Examples are the ‘tall whites’, the ‘grays’, the ‘humanoids’, and the ‘reptilians’. The ‘tall whites’, aren’t always as tall as some of the people say. They actually assume to grow as they mature. Growing so much that eventually they out grow their bodies and eventually die. The ‘grays’ are assumed to be led by the ‘reptilians’, they are small and gray with big metallic looking eyes. The ‘humanoids’ are almost exactly like us. They behave in a similar matter, they look like a cross breed of a gray and a human. But they are tall, pale skinned, and they have blonde hair and blue eyes. The ‘reptilians’ are sot
Aliens built the Egyptian pyramids. Recent research supports the theory that the Pyramids were built long before humans inhabited the area now known as Egypt. It is also nearly impossible for the Egyptians to have lifted and moved the limestone brick used to build these massive structures. Only a more advanced form of life could have constructed such an enormous undertaking, while using advanced mathematics and geography that were not yet known to ancient peoples.
Erich von Daniken believes that we as a species have been influenced throughout history and time by supernatural beings, or what many would refer to as aliens or ancient astronauts. His work and theories have caused uproar in both the scientific and historical communities since the publication of his first book Chariots of the Gods in 1968. Within Chariots he makes the argument that our ancient predecessors did not have the intellectual capacity or creative means to create such magnificent structures such as the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Nazca Lines, as well as the ability to create mathematics and the like. His central thesis of the book is that we have been in contact with these other worldly beings since the beginning of human existence

There are numerous of different movies, books, and TV shows on how humans think aliens interact, look similar to, and what the media portrays aliens to be like. Occasionally, most will stumble across news articles with a variety of related headings about aliens, UFO’s, or recent known abduction stories. Every person has their own theories and or thoughts on these basic questions: do aliens exist? Could the government be covering up real life “space ships” or encounters? Countless folks have claimed to witness or have fanciful stories that have fascinated countless while several others are turned away. There are Videos, pictures and pieces of physical evidence to support nearly all of these stories. Even more alarming,
This shows how the Nazca lines were a form of aliens landing in Peru and using it to land multiple of their aircrafts. There has also been an underground city found in Los Angeles. In the city “The Emerald Tablets of Toth the Atlantean” was found and it basically states that there exists a divine type of mind that can determine physical reality and a person can access this mind through the knowings of god. This proves that aliens had their own god just like human
Aliens to me are not real. Some people may think differently but it’s their own belief. If aliens were real we would’ve seen them by now. Mars is a complicated planet that scientists still have a lot to discover. There is a lot of spacecrafts on Mars with cameras. If aliens were real we would’ve spotted them and analyzed them and their features by now. The text says, “Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL website, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.” Scientists figured out what is was and left many people astonished.
However, it is all subject to interpretation, as it has not been validated. Evidence used to support the ancient alien theory can be found all over the world in ancient geoglyphs, art, sculptures, architecture and text. A mesmerizing topic that has captivated millions of people, Ancient Aliens brings to life the possibility that we are not alone in the cosmos and gives us a new perspective on life existing beyond our planet by looking within our very own past history and civilizations. Erich Von Daniken, one of the main figures responsible for popularizing the ancient astronaut hypotheses, has written twenty-six books referencing his theories on ancient aliens.
Do aliens exist? For eons, mankind has pondered over this peculiar question and a revealing truth has yet to be answered. However, one thing is known for sure, the discovery of intelligent alien life outside of Earth would provide support to prove and/or disprove fundamental beliefs that have been held for centuries. In any case, the discovery would serve as a cornerstone for humanity to make the quantum leap in understanding the purpose of our existence. Based on numerous examples, it is impossible to deny the existence of extraterrestrial life outside of Earth. Reportings of sightings, ancient civilizations beliefs, and scientific proof from scientists and astronomers are all key factors that contribute to this statement.
One of the most common unanswered questions scientists find themselves asking is "Is there life on other planets?" Since the first famously documented UFO sighting in 1947, the idea of extra-terrestrial life has been debated almost non-stop. The subject has inspired many TV programs, such as The X-Files, and films (Mars Attacks, Independence Day, and the Men in Black films to name but a few). Scientists have come up with many new ideas and ways of trying to either prove or disprove the existence of life elsewhere.
