As we delve deeper into this series, I will be sharing with
you a large quantity of quotes, which will clearly establish
that there are a considerable number of people found within
the world of politics, as well as in the military, in the
science community, and in academia, who also hold the view
that we may not be alone in this vast Universe. Even within
religious circles, the idea that God may have planted life
on other worlds has been entertained for literally hundreds
of years. Allow me to share a few interesting quotes with
you:
----- Begin Quotes -----
"Innumerable suns exist; innumerable earths revolve around
these suns in a manner similar to the way the seven planets
revolve around our Sun. Living beings inhabit these worlds."
-- 16th century Dominican priest and philosopher, Giordano
Bruno, in his 1584 book "De l'infinito universo e mondi",
(On the Infinite Universe and Worlds). Bruno was burned at
the stake, accused of heresy.
"From a theological point of view, the existence of these
visitors is not only just possible, it is probable and
likely. We would be naive to believe that God's grace has
only be given to the inhabitants of Earth."
-- Father S.B. Reyna, priest and astronomer at Adhara
Observatory in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
"God's desire to share his goodness would be better
satisfied by having myriads of galaxies inhabited by
intelligent beings."
-- Reverend Joseph Lynch, seismologist, Fordham University.
Four hundred scientists and space engineers applauded Dr.
Lynch at the closing session of the symposium "The Search
For Extraterrestrial Life". Source: (AP) Los Angeles,
Appleton Post Crescent, May 26, 1966.
"UFO's are real and have key religious significance.
Recognizing the existence and operation of these objects can
do much to strengthen faith and renew Biblical confidence.
What is clear through Biblical material, [is] that God's
will was revealed by beings from other worlds. These beings
looked very much like ordinary men, not having wings, which
is only religious symbolism."
-- Reverend B. Downing, pastor, B.S. Physics, Princeton
Theological Seminary, University Edinburgh, Scotland.

So, for the sake of argument, let us assume that this view
has some degree of validity. In other words, let us assume
that God did decide to create intelligent life elsewhere in
the Universe. Let us also theorize that these alien beings
possess a nature which is very similar to our own. Looking
at our own history, it is probably safe to assume that at
some stage in their development, when their technology had
reached a sufficiently advanced level, they began to scan
the heavens, in the hope of answering the one Big Question:
"Are we alone in the Universe?". Eventually, perhaps out of
necessity, curiosity, or maybe for some other reasons, when
their technology permitted it, these same beings also began
to explore the Universe, beginning with their own local star
system and galaxy.
Of course, to even entertain this possibility, we must also
be willing to accept the idea that other civilizations may
have been created long before we were, and that they may be
hundreds, or possibly thousands of years ahead of us, in a
technological sense. Logic seems to dictate that such a race
of beings would have to be highly advanced, with technology
that we can only dream of, in order to embark on such an
extended journey from their home world to our own. To even
begin to understand how such a race might accomplish this
feat, would undoubtedly require that one have a firm grasp
of physics, engineering, astronomy, propulsion systems, etc.
Being a rather simple man, I personally have a very limited
understanding of string theory, wormholes, anti-gravity, the
distortion of the space/time continuum, and other theoretical
concepts. A number of year ago, I read through approximately
half of Stephen Hawkin's 1988 book "A Brief History Of Time"
before I finally gave up in despair. Hawkin's concepts were
simply beyond my current understanding. However, what I do
understand, is that based upon the laws of physics, at least
as scientists currently understand them, Faster-Than-Light,
(FTL), space travel is a physical impossibility; and I have
heard it stated a number of times, that it is precisely this
kind of space travel that would be required, in order for an
alien race to transverse the vast distances of space between
their home world and ours in a reasonable amount of time.
While I don't fully understand it, from the limited research
that I've conducted concerning this topic, it has a lot to do
with the fact that the mass of an object increases in direct
proportion to its velocity. This means, if I understand the
concept correctly, that as the speed of an object increases,
its very mass acts as a force of resistance which prevents
it, or at least hinders it, from gaining additional speed. In
other words, it would require a tremendous amount of velocity
and fuel for a spaceship to overcome its own increasing mass,
and attain the speed of light. The craft would reach a speed
where it could no longer overcome its own mass, thus making
it impossible for it to ever reach the speed of light. As I
said, my grasp of such things is limited, so I may not have
it exactly right. If so, I am sure that someone will write
to me, in order to clarify the issue for me.
There are other obstacles to overcome as well. For example,
how would a spacecraft be able to decrease its velocity and
land on a particular planet if it is traveling at such a
high rate of speed? Wouldn't it have to accelerate for the
first half of its journey, and decelerate for the remaining
half? There is also the issue of the structural integrity of
the spacecraft. Can a spacecraft be constructed which could
withstand such mind-boggling velocity? It seems to me that a
saucer-shaped craft would be the most viable solution. But
even then, if a spacecraft is moving at the speed of light,
how would it avoid hitting into planets, asteroids and other
objects in space? It seems to me that a craft traveling at
this speed would have to move in a straight line; and sooner
or later, something is bound to cross its path. What then?
While Star Trek's "warp speed" sounds and looks exciting,
it is, after all, only fantasy. An alien race would have to
have the entire Universe precisely mapped out in order to
avoid such collisions in space.
Of course, these questions and problems are based upon our
current understanding of physics. As I mentioned before, if
these alien civilizations exist, and if they are hundreds or
thousands of years ahead of us in a technological sense, it
is possible that they may have already mastered some of the
theoretical concepts that I discussed earlier. If that's the
case, then distance and speed, and perhaps even physical
objects, may not be a problem for them whatsoever.
One thing seems rather certain. If an advanced space-faring
race does exist, and if this race visited the Earth in our
distant past, it is quite probable that they would have been
viewed as great gods who had come down from the sky. As you
may already know, there are in fact a number of cultures in
the world today, which possess legends, traditions, sacred
writings and artifacts which speak of strangers who arrived
from the sky. I will be discussing some of these legends in
more detail later on in this series. I also encourage you to
read the series "The Nibiru Planet X Wormwood Controversy".
So the question is, did this really happen? Has Planet Earth
been the object of extraterrestrial visitations in the past?
Furthermore, do these alien visitations continue today? Or
is it possible that what some people have assumed are alien
beings and extraterrestrial spaceships, are really something
entirely different? It's my hope that after you've completed
reading this series, you will be able to form your own sound
conclusions, based upon the information that I've presented
here.
