From prehistoric records to Einstein's manuscript: Do aliens really exist?

An unidentified flying object, or UFO, by the most general definition, is any unusual phenomenon in the sky that cannot be identified as a known object or phenomenon. But, in popular culture, the term is often equated with extraterrestrial spacecraft.

Strange "handwriting" of the ancients

The fact that many people have seen UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) have been recorded throughout history and in many parts of the world. This raises questions about life on other planets, and whether extraterrestrials have visited Earth. This topic is of great interest and has been the inspiration for many movies and books, but has also been the subject of much ridicule.

Over the decades, there have been moves, whether unintentional or intentional, to downplay the importance of UFOs and navigate public opinion that UFOs are part of some form of cunning fraud. However, records bearing the signs of what is now described as UFOs are still recorded throughout prehistoric times to the present day, and of course, there is still not a sufficient explanation. satisfactory is given.

Some descriptions from antiquity of celestial objects are mainly related to astronomical events, many of which may be comets, meteors, and planets visible to the eye. often, or may simply be, atmospheric phenomena such as clouds shaped like lenses.

An example of this is Halley's comet, which was recorded by Chinese astrologers in 240 BC, there are even some records from 467 BC that are said to describe Halley comet. Such events throughout history were often considered by the ancients as supernatural phenomena or omens with a strong color of superstition.

However, it cannot be assumed that what our ancient ancestors saw and recorded on cave walls or in ancient texts were astronomical or environmental phenomena. There are a number of records that exist from time immemorial that really spark our curiosity, as illustrated below.

The prehistoric cave paintings bear a striking resemblance to those painted hundreds of years later on the Summer's Triumph tapestry from the 16th century. A phenomenon believed to be a UFO has been recorded in modern times. There are also Aboriginal cave paintings of Wandjina (Australian) sky creatures, believed to be aliens.

Many records but can not confirm

Proponents of the ancient view of space travel point to many myths and legends about the so-called "gods of the sky", while some historical texts dating back 4,000 years do not. described as spaceships. In the Indian Vedas there are many descriptions of flying machines called vimanas that were used in warfare in ancient times. The vimanas are thought to be able to fly in Earth's atmosphere as well as into space, and can even dive underwater.

In the pyramids of Egypt, archaeologists have found hieroglyphs depicting what looks like UFOs. Centuries later, pre-Colombian Quimbaya gold artifacts were found in Central America, which seem to be perfect models of the figure. airplane shape. Then, during the medieval period, a lot of art was created to depict UFO-like things in the sky.

The researchers have shown that of these ancient descriptions, none can be considered conclusive evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life. But at least what has been collected raises suspicions that it is possible that aliens have indeed visited Earth.

Manuscripts of Oppenheimer and Einstein

Considering the above, it is perhaps quite reasonable to assume that UFOs should be the subject of scholarly debates and scientific investigations. But instead, what we see on the internet today is mostly self-made images, hoax videos, Hollywood thrillers and unverified UFO reports. It is almost impossible for researchers to separate fact from fiction.

It seems that countries are also very tight-lipped on this issue. For example, the announcement of the US Central Intelligence Agency CIA in August 2013 said that the Area 51 military base in the state of Nevada (area widely rumored to contain secrets about aliens) actually existence, although for many decades had denied the existence of the area. However, there still exist some scientific organizations, such as SETI and MUFON, that take an objective approach to UFO research.

This brings us closer to a manuscript marked "Top Secret" written by two physicists, Robert Oppenheimer (USA) and Albert Einstein (Germany). Together they created an article titled "Relationships with Inhabitants of Celestial Bodies." This six-page document is The first archival evidence to use the phrase "Extraterrestrial Biological Entities" (EBE) In June 1947, Oppenheimer-Einstein's manuscript mentioned that the presence of UFOs had in fact been confirmed. accepted by the army.

This manuscript deals with possible issues related to UFOs and aliens when they come into contact with Earthlings: Where the aliens might come from, what are the possible relationships possible with them, what does the law say about these entities, what should we do in case they settle with the Earthlings or even intend, act to invade, and why did they appear here.

The document also proposes that if "Biological Extraterrestrial Entities" are to colonize Earth, there will be a "profound change in traditional concepts" of the law, and possibly a " Law among the peoples of the planet".

Many questions remain unanswered. The document makes the point that "Biological Extraterrestrial Entities" may be more intelligent and technologically advanced than we are, and if so, why did they choose Earth as their destination? Will they conquer and inhabit the Earth, peacefully cooperating with humans, or study humans in the same way we study any new species of creatures we encounter? If their civilization is more advanced than humans, is it possible to live together on Earth?
