Just a theory…
One of the things I may not have mentioned yet on my blog is that I am a big Star Trek fan. I can totally absorb myself in the ‘alien’ theory. There is so much we do not know about what else is out there. If you haven’t visited my good friend John McNally’s blog then check out this post on the Hubble Telescope as the pictures are fantastic.
I spent an enjoyable afternoon recently theorising with a friend about aliens and he recounted the story of a programme he had seen on a digital channel (sadly I don’t get digital anything as I live in such a remote place!). In the programme some Candian air force pilots had been interviewed about something they had seen and they felt it absolutely proved the existence of aliens. They were sworn to secrecy while they were in the air force and it is only recently that they have been able to talk about their experience.
My friend and I came to the conclusion, (after much discussion and debate and lots of coffee and biscuits), that we, the human race, may well be an alien experiment, and that these random sightings of alien craft are the aliens returning to check on our progress and see how their experiment is faring.
As the title says, it’s just a theory.
Enjoy the journey.
Hello Mandy,
Well well, I expected a good post but that took me by surprise and a very good thought provoking post indeed, I’ve always had that view since becoming interested in extraterrestrial Life (ok just aliens ha ha) when quite young, was into science fiction in a big way of course, but as I’ve got older have thought it much more likely that references in the bible to unexplained events could have been alien visits, and that our emergence as an ‘intelligent’ animal could have been kicked off by outside interference (or experiment as you say) and really, there is nothing contradictory in the thought that the God that people who are religious believe in could have roots in an alien civilisation if that civilisation was far more advanced than ours. I have always thought that we would be very arrogant to believe that we were the only intelligent life form in the universe considering that there is supposed to be an infinite number of planets.
An interesting post indeed, I think you’ll be getting a lot of comments on this one….
Best Regards
Dave
I did hope it would provoke some discussion, Dave. Thanks for visiting.
Enjoy the journey.

Here’s another one for you Mandy. People used to be very concerned that a nuclear holocaust would turn the human race into mutants. But what if it has already happened thousands of years ago and WE are the mutants? You must admit that we humans are wacky enough and completely irrational enough that there must be something wrong.
Fink abaht it.
Wow, interesting theory, Brian, very interesting indeed!
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy
It could be we are an experiment…
…the truth is out there
I love thought that we are not alone
Cheers
Steve
Hi Steve, thanks for visiting. I just think everything is a possibility as nothing has been ultimately discounted.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hi Mandy, I tend to agree with your theory, there must be others out there somewhere and maybe we are thier experiment…. Many things support this theory.
Think i might expand on this in my blog sometime.
Best Wishes
Colin
Nice one, Colin, I look forward to reading your post.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Have you read Eric Von Daniken’s ‘Chariots of the Gods’ and many other books ?
The Truth is out There ?
We hope so.
ciao JJ
No, John, I haven’t but I might just have to now you’ve mentioned it!
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy,
Your posts never cease to amaze me. I am a Star Trek, X-Files, Babylon 5 etc. fan as well. In fact, I find it HARD to believe that we are the only planet in this universe (let alone other universes – who is to say there is only one) inhabited with living beings.
It’s most certainly an interesting subject all the way around. Oh, and there is just so much more I could say on the subject
Will have to get around to it later …
Thank you for this very interesting post!
Svenja
Hi Svenja, I know what you mean, I could talk about it and theorise for ever! Such a broad subject and partly because we simply do not know.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Mandy,
You just may be closer than you think with the idea that we were created by aliens. I’ve studied the Sumerian civilization a bit and the more recent tablets that were found certainly indicated their connection to aliens. Also, check out the Sumerian tablets…the pictures will astound you.
If the subject is of interest to you, you should google them. It will open up your mind for sure.
I’ve been studying in the Metaphysical field for quite sometime now and nothing really surprises me anymore.
Thanks for the thought provoking post,
Kathy
That’s really interesting, Kathy, thanks for that. I will look them up.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy, I like the theory that you presented. It’s plausible at least to the degree that we understand our universe. A theory that dovetails with that is that we may actually be the aliens in an evolutionary matrix with mother earth. BTW, I must recommend Larry Niven’s ‘Ring World’ series. It’s my favourite ‘out of this world’ sci-fi. Best Wishes, Steve D
Thank you, Steve, I will take a look at them. Interesting theory also.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy
I honestly think the odds of us being alone in this universe are remote to say the least , how can it be possible in so vast an endless area that we can be the only lifeforms?
A great post !
TTFN….Ed.
Exactly, Ed. The conversation can keep us occupied for hours.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hey Mandy
Now this debate could get quite philosophical couldn’t it? I personally have to say that if we are the only ones here then I would be quite surprised. I have always tried to say that there must be more to our lives that just this chaos which we all ‘run’ around in. But then what we learn and everything we can ever know will always be limited by the confines of our own imagination.
Ben
Oh yes, it certainly could, Ben! And those who do not feel that we are not alone, do they suffer from vanity I wonder??
Enjoy the journey.

Mandy,
Thanks for your link to my blog. I felt so surprised and proud when I saw it, I must be going up in the world – recognition at last :O)
Linking with the Hubble photos indicating the mind-boggling size of our universe, I think it is absolutely teeming with life. If there is a creator, why would God make a ‘dead’ universe? However, I also believe that the universe is too large, with in-built physical speed limits that prevent alien contact.
So all alien races can live in their own bit of the universe in peace, and explore as much as they like, without ever meeting another species. It’s only a Star Trek ‘Warp Drive’ that would enable alien contact, and according to Einsteins theory of Relativity this is not possible. (Sorry, I wish it was)!
PS. Thanks for your ‘Moon’ comment, and apologies…I have deleted the original post, to split it into two sections,(following one of your suggestions to cut long articles down in size).
John
John, I absolutely love your blog and think everyone should see it!
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy,
There are too many credible people who have seen evidence of technology we cannot comprehend to think we are alone in the universe.
If they are returning to check on our progress as you theorise, then in general they must be highly dissapointed.In that I don’t mean our technological advances but general behaviour, morals and standards.
Regards,
Bill
Ooh, interesting philosophy, Bill. I like your thinking!
Enjoy the journey.
