Post Aliens visits to Earth questionable

For those who are still contemplating getting married and having children, then my advise is do not have children, have extraterrestrials. Because they are very good at cleaning up after themselves. Humans do leave many traces of their like the Apollo moon landings, there were a few American flags launch platforms a moon rover, footprints etc to settle the arguments of those who were a little skeptical that the moon landings ever took place. But there is not one extraterrestrial.artefact or the fossilized remains of an extraterrestrial space craft after all those millions of years. So they were either very good at picking up their toys and cleaning up after themselves or they never visited the Earth in the first place.

I feel the latter is more plausible.

I like what Carl Sagan said in response to John Mack's claims that thousands -- if not millions -- of Americans have been abducted by aliens.

"What, not one of them thought to palm a tricorder when the aliens weren't looking?"

And why did those "Aliens" choose the very dumbest working class Americans?

Traces of their visits ????

What do you call the Pyramids ? The Easter Island Statues ? Crop Circles ? The Melbourne Cricket Ground ?

Human beings have never had the technology to ever possibly reconstruct these edifices, so how else could these have been built ?

Yeah, I've always loved the Von Daniken "primitive people were too stupid to figure out how to draw straight lines on the desert floor" argument.

Cheers,

LOL.

The Nazca lines are another example, I went on the airplane tour over them and the guide was "speculating" about one of the designs that looks vaguely like a humanoid in a space suit, and I do emphasize vaguely.

It was good for a laugh at least.

I grew up watching “Chariots Of The Gods” at the cinemas and reading Charles Berlitz’s “Bermuda Triangle” & being quite fascinated.

But in those days we were taught that the blocks moved to build the pyramids had to be hauled up on log rollers, admittedly an incredible task. But only a few years ago have I been reading about strapping round wooden frames around the blocks and bodily rolling them uphill. Still a monumental task, but significantly less so.

Now, most amusing of all, is that for the last hundred or so years, it would seem that this smarter method hadn’t dawned on any of the countless modern archaeologists or researchers who truly would have needed extraterrestrial assistance.

Remembering the few threads running about human intelligence, we may not have been all that dumb 5000 years ago either …

Cool

If they were traveling from another star system they were probably packing light, bringing only things they really needed, no room to bring extra toys to leave for the humans to play with.

Aaah, but your comparison doesn't work because the Moon landings were a fake. Everybody knows that since the Fox special.

I think sooner or later someone will find the landing plaforms that were left behind on the moon and as we know it would of been too much baggage for those Earthings to carry back home with them. Same should apply to aliens.
