Aliens


       



The theory of aliens has been around for thousands of years. There are countless numbers of evidence that lead us to believe that there is something more in this world than we can understand with our senses. 
But where did it all begin? How did the human race come to a conclusion that there might be something else out there? Well, some people say that it wasn't just a thought, but we lived and communicated with them years ago.
 For example Incas have a temple complex in Tiwanaku, Bolivia that have carvings of every race in the world including one different one-the Gray Face.Firstly, how did the Incas, who had not traveled the world seen different races, and who is the race behind the gray face that looks so similar to a person but is not?


Many people say that the similarity comes from the fact that aliens created our aunt-sisters and formed us to look like themselves, but who are we to say whether it's true or not.

Also one point where all the theories come from is that there are many conclusions that take in to thought the fact that the technology during some time period wasn't evolved enough to make cuts or other carvings in stone as it is only possible now. For example the lake Titicaca hides an ancient temple that has the ideal mathematically precise cuts and whats-more considering the time it was made and including the geographical facts applied in that time, it is nearly( not to say completely) impossible, because it was all under 30m of water.
In those two cases (Titicaca and Tiwanacu) when we leave out all the mathematically precise carvings and other aspects we still have other and much bigger things to consider. The astronomical accuracy. Every building and every gate is set to lay in a precise place. Just like the pyramids are set to match the astronomical sights and also the Stonehenge. 


There is practically no way it was possible for the people living in that era with their technology to know all the astronomical facts and much more, there is no way that people with their technology would have build those magnificent and massive objects. Although there are a lot of speculations trying to figure out how everything was built there are still some holes in those theories. For example scientists came to a conclusion how the Stonehenge was BUILT, but the whole theory collapsed when they had to figure out how did they get the materials. As it turned out the massive, weighting about 50 tons, stones we're brought from 160 miles distance.
So this all makes us think if we had any help from visiting creatures or not. Did they share their astronomical knowledge with our aunt-sisters? Is the human race just an experiment for them and they gave us a start and are now observing us?
Also may having these kind of creatures with more advanced systems lead people to think of them as gods and lead to having an effect on today's spiritual society?

In today's society aliens appear to us in another way. Many people claim to have seen a bright light or a group of lights formed into a certain shape in the night sky that they cannot explain. This story would not usually have bias, but the story becomes investigateable  when the same story is been told by different people from different habitat areas. And this happens quite a few times in a week. There are about 40 UFO sightings around the world EVERY DAY. And in many cases when being talked to airway companies or even NASA they don't confirm having any of their machines up in the sky. NASA has also spotted some very strange objects in the sky that can't be just unconfirmed enemy planes, due to their size and advanced technology that we can see in their movement. 


There are also a lot of alien sightings and  (not to be confused with UFO, as in UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object) where people claim to have seen a strange creature that no one has ever seen.
But how can we even be sure what an alien looks like? How do we recognize it? Where is the point of realizing that a creature is different enough not to be either a human or an animal? 


When maybe aliens designed us to look like them, then why can't they be among us? How can we sure that the nice lady next door isn't a visitor from a different planet?
How do we know whether they are cute and cuddly or evil and want to cut us open?












Here is a video of a backyard camera recording in a house in America that captures a weird creature walking across their backyard. May this be truly an alien?
Also the evidences include crop-circles. 



There are a lot of speculations about Area51. Some people say it's only a myth, but as many people know it's not. We can see it's existence on the map, get information about it on Wikipedia and the life going on there( cars moving in and out etc.) in TV. Then again how reliable are those sources?

 But I don't think the big question here is whether it exists or not, but what exists in there. And also I wouldn't be so worried about a place I know exists but a place no one knows exists.
 People say that Area 51 is the place that hides the biggest secrets of USA, or maybe even the world, and mainly it is related to UFO's and aliens. The UFO spotting rate near that area is larger than in any other place in USA.

The video I posted beforehand, that talks about "night crawlers", is a great example of how intrigued people are about this subject. The amount of movies, TV-series, comics,books, paintings, merchandise, etc. based on aliens and UFO's is countless.

Here are just some few examples.

Movies
  • "War of the worlds"
  • "Men in black"
  • "Star wars"
  • "Independence day"
  • "Hitchhikers guide through galaxy"
  • "Cowboys and aliens"
  • "Race to Witch mountain"
  • "Alien vs Predator"
  • "Transformers"
 
Books
  • "War of the worlds"
  • "Hitchhikers guide through galaxy"
  • "Ender's game"
  • "Stranger on a strange land"
TV-series
  • "Star trek"
  • "Stargate SG1"
  • Stargate Atlantis"
  • "V"
  • "The X-files"
  • "Babylon5"
  • "Battlestar Galactica"




Considering everything we say aliens have done and are capable of doing, then we can see that aliens may just be an excuse to sights and happenings we cannot explain. Maybe we know there is nothing there and just try to blame something on aliens because we just want to believe that there is something.
But then again with today's technology how is it so hard to explain such simple questions?

News and more

So, yesterday I decided to see what's going on in my home country Estonia. I didn't expect anything extraordinary,because nothing actually really happens in Estonia. But the first news that came on and that were quite shocking.- two Estonian girls in their early twenties were caught in Peru trying to take over boarder 6kg of cocaine. Of course they were arrested and are now waiting for the Estonian government's decision to save them from Peru's famous jails. But those changes seem quite small and they might be thrown to jail for 25 years.
Something local and really important in Estonia right now is regional elections, that have brought up a lot of trouble. For example our head of capital is trying to gain popularity among older people by opening churches. And for the opposite some politicians just tear down their competitors posters and fill them with leaves. This all, in my opinion just shows what people are willing to do just to raise a few bars higher in the social status. Most of them, as history has shown, don't fulfill much of their promises and their job isn't harder than mine or yours. So the question is, do citizens make their political decisions only based on what they've been promised or do they truly see what's happening on the background?
For the bias on the elections we can see a serious role in media. There is a party in Estonia who is not liked by many Estonians or young people due to their involvement with Russia. The owner of the main news broadcasting show is also against that them, because he is a member and a great supporter of another party. That all means that the news can't deliver anything in  bad manner of his party and everything is turned against the competitive party.

But on the lighter side the moose-hunting season in Estonia has begun, that means soon the tables of every Estonian will be covered with fresh moose-sausage. Also, during the international teacher's day Estonia's best teacher award was given out..

Compared to the events going on whole over the world right now, then that is all just a small fraction of it. Right now we have two big news events- the USA Government Shutdown and the war in Syria.

The Government shutdown is broadcasted allover the world as it affects all of us in a smaller or bigger way. But not everywhere is it been broadcasted the same way. For example here are few paragraphs- 


Hubert Wetzel in Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung
"What we have seen in America for the last few years already is the self-destruction of one of the world's oldest democracies. And the great tragedy is that this work of destruction is not being perpetrated by the enemies of democracy, not by greedy lobbyists or sinister big donors. America's democracy is being destroyed by those who ought to support and preserve it - by voters, parties and politicians... Nobody knows whether the country will still be solvent in three weeks' time. The bitter truth is this: politically, America is bankrupt already."
In this article they are trying to express how doomed America is an how it's every Americans own fault. This article is clearly not neutral and is trying to make people think like they do, as in negatively about all of the situation and the whole America.


Editorial in the Hong Kong Economic Times
"The US' party struggles are repeating a cycle again and again and becoming more intense, which keeps eroding market confidence in the US' debt. Although an impasse should be overcome this time, a big disaster could be played out sooner or later... US politicians keep adding gunpowder to the US debt bomb, and once it explodes, it will not only severely harm the US, but will become a major threat to the global economy."  

As we can see then China isn't looking for who to blame, but they are more concerned about the future and how it will affect their, already gentle, structures. 

Editorial in The Washington Post
"Americans' respect for their Congress has, sad to say, diminished in recent years. But citizens still expect a minimal level of competence and responsibility: Pay the bills and try not to embarrass us in front of the world. By those minimal standards, this Congress is failing." 

This American newspaper shows us the thoughts of many Americans, they are disappointed in their government and see that the Congress is failing. Somehow I think this post does provoke people against the government by stating how everything is collapsing.


All of the news above show criticism towards everything that's going on, and it would be hard not to do that do. With everything already going on in the world the shutdown isn't making it better. That is what every country probably agrees with.
