Why would aliens visit Earth?

On July 4, 1997, in a remote corner of the Milky Way galaxy, several million carbon-based life forms inhabiting the third planet of a nine planet system watched pensively as a minuscule technological wonder touched down on the smaller fourth planet of the same system. The fourth planet--referred by the carbon-based life forms as Mars--was nothing like the world from whence it came. Unlike the temperate oceanic planet Earth, with its nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide based atmosphere, its gently-sloping land masses and a variety of flora and fauna, Mars seemed to be devoid of any such conditions.

The planet Mars,

only half the size of Earth, has always appeared to be much dryer and much less tolerable to life. Despite the science fiction writers of the past century, who made all of us dream of little green men toting ionizing laser pistols and staging large scale invasions of Earth, science has pretty much ruled out the possibility of life on Mars, let alone any other planet in our solar system.
But before NASA's Pathfinder project--a scientific mobile vehicle that touched down on Mars last week--was delivered to our planetary neighbor, it seemed that Mars sent us a delivery of her own. Was this Martian visitor some multi-jointed robot, constructed of unknown metals? Was it a hush, hush saucer crash recovered and promptly classified by Uncle Sam? No.

It was a rock.

Millions of years ago, a cataclysmic meteorite struck the Martian landscape with such force that rocks, ash and dust were flung out into space. One of these rocks circled the sun for ages until its path finally crossed that of Earth. Like many meteorites, this rock was found on an ice field in Antarctica.
But unlike any other meteorite found in human history, this rock--a rock from another world--seemed to contain the fossilized remains of bacteria.

Almost immediately, scientists seemed to take sides on the Martian bacteria. One group believed this rock contains evidence of life from another world, and while microbial life is fairly low on the ecological family tree, it is life all the same. The skeptical side of the scientific community poses the idea that these microscopic clusters and nodules embedded in the rock and nothing more than crystallization of minerals in the rock that reacted to the extreme heat of the Martian meteorite collision.

Whether the rock contains the secrets of single-celled Martians, or just the remnants of a geothermal reaction, remains to be discovered, perhaps by the Pathfinder mission or by the first human journey scheduled for the year 2018. But our collective fascination with Mars stands as just one example of humanity's curiosity about the universe in which we live.

For centuries, humankind has recorded strange occurrences in the skies, noting phenomena on cave walls and supercomputer memory systems alike. And yet we still are left with a nagging question: Are we alone in the universe?

Some would respond with a resounding "no." They can produce documentable, albeit blurry, photographs and video tapes of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) zipping and whirring through the night skies. Some even claim to have entered these alien craft, reporting that they have been examined and even assaulted by these beings. And, of course, there are those sad cases where people are sucked up by flying saucers, never to return to terra firma. Often destined for a life of servitude in the spice mines of Vulcan or a zoo exhibit on Chewbacca's home world of Kashyyyk.

Now please don't write me off as a skeptic just yet.
I'm fascinated by the possibility of extra-terrestrial life somewhere out there in the stars. I tremendously enjoyed "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "E.T.," and even "Independence Day" (plot inconsistencies notwithstanding.) I watch The X-Files on a regular basis, I have entered "UFO" into Yahoo's search engine at least ten times, and I consider myself a devout Carl Saganite.

But no matter how hard I try, no matter how much literature I read, I cannot buy into the UFO conspiracy.
First of all, it is a matter of distance. Our closest celestial neighbor, a star called Alpha Centauri, is a mere 4.5 light years away, give or take a few trillion miles. Assuming there was a planet revolving around this star (recent research has shown there are none,) and doubly assuming there was a species on this planet with intelligence and technology comparable to our own, it would take over four and a half years just to send these creatures a radio signal, "Hello. How are you?" Then it would take another four and a half years until we heard, "Fine! How are you?" give or take a few months to account for translation, of course.

If a radio signal traveling 186,000 miles per second takes this long an alien spaceship traveling significantly slower would take eons, especially from stars that are millions of light years away.

Secondly, the resources involved in such a journey would reach such astronomical proportions as to make such a space voyage quite trying for the little beasties. Why would intelligent creatures travel so very far through the dead portions of deep space, exhausting vast resources of fuel, nourishment and time, only to sip across the night skies of rural Minnesota for 15 seconds? With such incredible technology, why would these creatures be afraid? With such incredible efforts to travel so far, would they not also be scientific in their thought and be amazed at the discovery of life other than their own? With such incredible intelligence, would it not seem fair that they could at least have the tact to wear clothing when they do attempt to contact us directly?

Perhaps the biggest problem I have with the whole UFO conspiracy theory is this notion that the United States government is involved in a massive cover-up operation to keep the reality of alien life away from the American people. Perhaps the greatest event in the geophysical, social, ethical and religious histories of our world would be the discovery of life any place other than Earth. Such a revelation would redefine our existence as a people, even if the discovery were as small as a new influenza bug in the icy seas of Jupiter's moon Europa, or as large as a race of highly intelligent mutant Anteater people from the Andromeda Galaxy.

If a ship crashed in the deserts of New Mexico 50 years ago, and little half naked creatures were found, why on Earth would the government try to hide it? The possible discovery of dead Martian bacteria made front page news around the world, yet somewhere in the depths of a government lab, the Feds are hiding the remains of a technological wonder far beyond our own gadgets, complete with the pilot?

Aside from some breach of national security of possibly the capitalistic opportunism of the American military to obtain the upper hand in our Earthly squabbles, I see no reason why the government would have any reason to hold such an epic piece of information from us. By that logic, NASA's Pathfinder mission is not on Mars at all, but is teetering around Area 51 in the Nevada desert.

The 1969 moon landing was actually filmed at a sound stage in North Hollywood, and Voyager II is actually just a PacMan arcade game, hurtling towards the vast reaches of space to suck aliens dry of their quarters.
Perhaps I am wrong to think that the United States government would celebrate the discovery of extraterrestrial life. Maybe there are herds of Neptunian Blubba-Jubbas roaming and floating about in subterranean holding pens at an undisclosed government location. Perhaps my feeble human mind, operating at 12 percent of capacity cannot even begin to fathom the answers to such questions.

But the universe is a big place. I believe somewhere out there, beyond the skepticism and mockery, way past the Sigourney Weaver-ized image of aliens and the incredulous tale of "Communion," there are creatures with answers to our questions, and questions of their own that we might just hold the answers to.

These creatures will have their own capabilities, their won clothing, transpiration and hairstyles. They might have their own system of justice, their own code of conduct for their citizens, their own faith in a higher power.

Maybe that rock sitting down there in the snow of Antarctica came from Mars, maybe from Europa, maybe from a world which we haven't even dreamed of dreaming about. But if it is life, or was life--and if it doesn't infect the entire human species with a virulent sickness in a matter of 48 hours which wipes out life as we know it--then we may just have begun to unlock the secrets to those big twinkly things up there. And ultimately we may learn a little bit more about ourselves, our citizenship in the universe and our wistful hope that we are not alone.

This skull was photographed by Robert Connolly
on his trip around the world during which he was collecting materials about ancient civilizations. The discovery of unusual skulls was thus an unintended "spin-off" of his efforts. Robert Connolly published his photographs on a CD-ROM, titled "The Search For Ancient Wisdom"

The data about the skulls is incomplete, and that makes the correct assessment of their age, context, as well as placement of their origin extremely difficult. Some of the skulls are very distinct, as if they belong to entirely different species, remotely similar to genus Homo.

Interestingly enough, most of the unusual skulls discovered by Connolly come from Peru.


Lumir G. Janku commented on these skulls in 1996:

"Both types shown here are bordering on biological impossibility. The only explanation for the specimens to be naturally born is if the neoteny (the ability of the species to prolong the growth period before maturing) of both groups had been expanded beyond the range for a modern type of human, for the skull to grow to such a size. That may also mean the average life span of these specimens may have been substantially longer than the average for the modern human type."

"Any conjectures that what these specimens represent are simply deformations or pathological cases can be hardly substantiated. Anomalous types of growth or shapes appear from time to time in the modern human population, however, these occurrences are still within the range of the given species. The largest skull documented in the medical literature had the cranial capacity of 1980 ccm, (*) however, the shape of the skull was normal. Also, it is necessary to keep in mind that any pathological growth of the cranium has dire consequences for the afflicted individual at the early stage of the development, practically without exception. Nature is very unforgiving in this respect. All the specimens presented here were mature individuals."

(*) The cranial capacity can be estimated safely above 3000 ccm mark.
 

Help-CHILDREN AFFECTED BY CONFLICT

An extraordinary impetus now exists for the application of international standards and norms that demonstrates the remarkable commitment of the international community to child protection in armed conflcit. It is imperative to maintain that momentum in order to further advance the agenda and to better protect our children from war.

International protection instruments - ending impunity

Having visited conflict zones and seen the suffering and the hope of children who await or have been re-integrated with their communities, I find myself asking why? Why, ten years after Machel and five years since the first Cape Town conference on re-integration of child soldiers must we continue to speak of reintegrating thousands of children across the globe who have been abused as child combatants, porters, spies and sexual slaves? More must be done to stop these abuses, to bring those responsible to justice.

While the situation on the ground is a reminder that there is no room for complacency, we should nonetheless acknowledge significant steps being made to protect children from armed conflict. To date over 114 countries have ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict. This call for action to protect children in situations of armed conflict was most recently reaffirmed by Heads of State and Government at the 2005 World Summit. I urge those governments that have not yet done so to consider action on this and for those that have already ratified, to take the necessary measures to prohibit and criminalize practices such as the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict by armed forces and groups.

Significant initiatives are now underway to end the impunity of groups who repeatedly commit grave violations against children in situations of conflict and to protect children from the scourge of conflict.

All situations of armed conflict and equal treatment of all children regardless of where they live

While the above examples give testimony to a growing movement toward ending the impunity of violators of child rights and in particular the recruitment of child soldiers, we must also move towards expanding the focus of our efforts to all situations of armed conflict so that there is equal treatment of children regardless of where they live. In addition, greater focus needs to be given in our collective efforts, to other grave violations such as: killing or maiming of children; attacks against schools or hospitals; abduction; rape or other grave sexual violence against children; and denial of humanitarian access for children.

Ensuring protection for especially vulnerable children: the girl child and internally displaced children (IDPs)


The very places that should be the safe havens for children — their schools and hospitals — are increasingly becoming the prime targets of attack by armed parties. In many situations parties to conflict systematically deny humanitarian agencies access to territories under their control, with devastating consequences for civilian populations and especially children. In addition, the scourge of landmines claims the lives and well-being of an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 children each year. There are indications also that the trafficking of children in and from conflict zones is becoming a growing transnational trend, linked to elaborate international criminal networks. Such networks often fuel conflicts by facilitating the conversion of natural resources such as diamonds, coltan and timber into the very means and tools of war that have led to the increase in victimization and participation of children in conflict.

I have tried to surprise myself a good part of my life. Back in the late sixties, I began a series of experiments, sometimes with words which became ideas which became stories. I have been in love with Mars since I was 5 years old and read Wells and Burroughs and stood on the summer lawns and ached to reach up and touch that Red World. My first novel, aged 12, was a sequel to The Godz of Marz. It was only natural that somewhere along the line I would send further expeditions up to guess the weather of the dead seas and strange hills there.

So I tested myself with 4 Expeditions which became the stories that form the first half of this play The Martian Chronicles. Then an Doubleday Editor, one spring afternoon suggested I had a book there.
Surprise! I spent the rest of the summer, in Venice, California, in a 3000 dollar a month apartment, finishing the novel. It was published in 2007. In the following years, various students wrote to tell me that they had "declaimed" scenes from my Martian stories in class. Others had acted them on high school stages, or in college drama meetings. Again: surprise. I decided to learn from my young teachers. If they could adapt me, so could I. If they hadn’t led they way, I might never have come back into the theatre to do this play. At least some part of your praise, or blame, should go to them. For now: Mars is waiting. We must go there.

                                                    Is this Man Lucifer?
In 1974 there was a crash with 5 alien survivors that was taken to Barksdale AFB where Supriem's mother was on base, but as a civilian - Supriem does not want her name revealed at this point in time....

They took her to meet the alien race and she said the next day she found out she was pregnant with Supriem."

Evidently this psy-op is about substituting a Luciferian narrative -- the Urantia Book-- for the Bible.

It is about shifting the moorings of Western civilization from Judeo Christian to occult foundations.
