Some time ago I ran across references to an alleged landing of an alien vehicle in China. The people who believe in it believe that there is an area of china Where the descendents of the beings who came in this vehicle still live today. Totaly worthy of Velikovsky but fun to read. Anybody know what I am talking about? I don't.

Hmm.. I was curious enough to plug "china alien descendants" into google -- it came up with a huge number of links!

The very first match is this article about ancient Chiniese emperors believing they were descendants of aliens that arrived here on "iron dragons." The pyramids in Sichuan are alleged to be remnants of their alien-bestowed technology.

That's more than enough. I don't feel like investigating further.

Thanks, that's pretty close but there was a special name for what were thought by some to be wheels from the alien vehicles.

The Dropa Stones
In 1938, an archeological expedition led by Dr. Chi Pu Tei into the Baian-Kara-Ula mountains of China made an astonishing discovery in some caves that had apparently been occupied by some ancient culture. Buried in the dust of ages on the cave floor were hundreds of stone disks. Measuring about nine inches in diameter, each had a circle cut into the center and was etched with a spiral groove, making it look for all the world like some ancient phonograph record some 10,000 to 12,000 years old. The spiral groove, it turns out, is actually composed of tiny hieroglyphics that told the incredible story of spaceships from some distant world that crash-landed in the mountains. The ships were piloted by people who called themselves the Dropa, and the remains of whose descendents, possibly, were found in the cave.

This is what I was referring to.

I’ve heard the story but have been unsuccessful in trying to obtain any serious studies other than a few websites telling the story, as you quoted. I tried to ask an archaeologist at expert central but all I got as a reply was some indignant jibber jabber about how this was ‘impossible’, it sounded like he had never heard the story. Supposedly a Russian scientist manage to ‘play’ the disks on something resembling a record player. It all sounds pretty cool but I'd like a lot more information.

I don't really think there is much to it. If you go to several websites you get the same material and I don't see anything now that wasn't there when I first ran across this several years ago.

This site has a little more information, including the origins of the story. It's the only site I found via google with a hint of skepticism.

Dropa? Yeah that just about sounds right, afterall the story's full of droppings.

But wouldn't it be exiciting if there were something to it? Though I think there is not.
