Yeah. Me neither.
I found this photo over at Lynn Marzulli’s blog. I find it a constant fascination that the governments of the world would continue to churn out these patently ludicrous explanation of aerial phenomenon.
Even more fascinating is how the public laps it up and looks the other way.
Fact or fiction: Do aliens exist?
According Arizona State University physicist and cosmologist Paul Davies, the answer is undoubtedly… possible.
Although his hypothetical ‘aliens’ aren’t the gray almond-eyed creatures that have become popularly associated with extraterrestrials, he is posing another question. What if life sprang up across the earth not one time, but many times over? What if there is a life form already existing on earth that is so different to our definition of life that it would be, in fact, ‘alien’ to us?
Furthermore, what if there exists a “shadow biosphere”, an imperceptible niche where these ‘aliens’ exist and are waiting in the wings, as it were. Should we slit our own throats as a race or are otherwise rendered extinct by some external force, this “shadow biosphere” would be there to pick up the pieces and gain ascendancy over the earth. They’d be the progenitors of a new world totally unlike our own.
“Life as we know it appears to have had a single common ancestor, yet, could life on Earth have started many times? Might it exist on Earth today in extreme environments and remain undetected because our techniques are customized to the biochemistry of known life?” said Davies.
It’s a fascinating question. But it is also one burdened with unstated assumptions; the primary assumption being the unquestioned veracity of Darwinism, of which I have serious doubts. There are enormous, crater-sized holes in Darwin’s theory. For instance, there is the self-evident question of why there is not one single missing link found among the totality of the fossil records of ANY species whatever? We do not have a single fossil that points to a slowly evolving process where one species transforms into a new species.
To explain this apparent contradiction to their theory, evolutionists would speak of an evolutionary leap through mutation, such as the one they claim was made from ancient dinosaurs to birds. But this is about as plausible as Paul Bunyan creating the Grand Canyon by dragging his axe along on the desert floor. Both sound like a tall tales to me.
The evidence just does not fit the phenomenon.
But back to Davies’s theory.
I don’t discount his theory that there may be life on earth that appear ‘alien’ to our conception of life. That may very well be true. Very interesting questions would arise from it. It would, in the least, change our perception of the world if we knew that a separate other corporeal life form existed side by side with our own.
If true, this would be remarkable in of itself. Need we torture logic to force a cosmological explanation of how life became what it is?
For some reason I am thinking of a Coast to Coast broadcast the other month. Whitley Strieber was sitting in that night for George Noory and in the first hour of broadcast he had a man named Dr. Roger Leir on the show. Whitley Srieber, for those unacclimatized to the oddities of ufology, is the best-selling author of Communion, a semi-autobiographical story of an alien abduction.
In any case, Strieber promised Coast listeners an interesting show and I don’t think they were disappointed. Dr. Leir is a medical doctor and ufologist who has conducted numerous investigations into the phenomenon of E.B.E. abductions— specifically abductions that yield hard physical evidence, such as implants.
This is your standard kind of abduction story. Men, women and children are snatched from their homes, their cars or wherever. The abductee would experience a loss of time, as though time hop-skipped a few minutes or a few hours in the span of seconds. They might even have experienced a significant dislocation, such as driving down a street in LA and finding themselves suddenly in Phoenix, Arizona. Then the people experiencing these mind-twisting events would discover later that there is something foreign inside their body.
This is when Dr. Leir comes into the picture.
He is a surgeon by training and he receives hundreds or even thousands of requests by abductees to extract or investigate what the heck is lodged in their bodies.
This interview I listened to was sometime late last year, and I still remember the eerie feeling as Dr. Lier painted a rather graphic picture of what he found in one of these abductees.
I remember this one best because of the utter strangeness of it. This thing could be described as being a biological machine. It had quasi-living tissue attached it, interpenetrating it, something that was actually part of it. And yet it was not all tissue. Part of it was metal as well.
If I remember correctly, Dr. Lier tried to preserve this specimen inside a freezer of some kind. When he returned the following day and peered at the specimen through its clear container, the biological machine appeared deteriorated, decayed. But as the specimen warmed in room temperature outside the freeze, the thing began to reconstitute itself!
Invasion of the Body Snatchers comes to mind.
Only this is real. It’s really happening, and I think the information we have on this phenomenon is insufficient to describe what exactly it is.
After inducting information along these lines for the past year or so, and being fascinated with the subject since the mid-1990′s, I am of the firm opinion that whatever these creatures are, they are NOT friendly to mankind. They are without doubt or qualification malevolent to all things human.
