Ancient Aliens and Dinosaurs - History Channel Angkor Wat, Cambodia, is the world's largest ancient religious temple. Within its megalithic ruins, researches have discovered a depiction of a species of dinosaur--a stegosaurus.

But how could the ancients have had knowledge of animals that mainstream science says died out millions of years ago? Why are dinosaurs extinct? Did an alien race of beings kill off the dinosaurs to make room for humankind?

UFO and Alien Presence in Human History

Unusual objects being spotted in the sky and drawings of strange-looking little men have formed long before the existence of modern man. The first depiction of cylindrical objects shaped like UFOs is shown in a 47,000 year old, Neanderthal-age drawing that was found on the rocks and mountains in Hunan Province, China.

UFO skeptics suggest that many people have seen objects in the sky that they cannot identify, but to any astronomer, these perceptions may just be a weather balloon, a star, or a meteor. Some people have even mistaken lenticular clouds for UFOs. Yet, true believers bring up the lengthy history of alleged UFOs and their alien passengers as proof that these sightings are phenomena that go far beyond science.

According to UFO researchers and enthusiasts, the history of alien creatures and spacecraft is found all over the world in the forms of art work, oral legends, tablets, monuments, and petroglyphs. A recorded account of a UFO sighting goes back to the 1504-1450 B.C. writing of an Egyptian papyrus, who describes the object as a "fire circle." After a few days, he noticed that more of them appeared in the sky until they reached the limits of heaven, then after some time, ascended higher into the sky and disappeared.

A report recorded in the Bible by Exekiel describes a stranger sighting of four living creatures in the form of men. Each had four faces and four wings and darted back and forth like a lightning flash.

Roman author Julius Obsequens compiled the book Prodigorium liber to highlight preternatural sights with one account tracing back to 90 B.C. In 216 B.C., a person describes a fire in the sky with "things like ships were seen in the sky over Italy," also described as a "round shield."

There are numerous other reports of strange lights, objects, and creatures that continued throughout the early periods of A.D. with similarities to modern reports. In 13th century England, a pile of fire was reported to have rose from the south, crossed the sky to the north, then increased speed and flew into the sky.

In Japan in 1232, the first official investigation into UFOs took place after members of an army saw strange lights that swerved around in the sky for many hours. It was finally concluded to be just "wind making the stars sway," which itself may not have scientific backing.

Astronomers have also reported similar UFO sightings. In 1762 in Switzerland, amateur astronomer Monsieur de Rostan captured the first UFO photograph. He tracked a spindle-shaped object crossing the sun, which is supported by a couple of other astronomers. Later in 1799, the English Gentleman's Magazine featured an article that detailed a mass viewing of a pillar of fire (the same account of fire) passing from the north to the south.

Unlike pre-modern men, modern men have been able to track inexplicable appearances using radar from the ground and in the sky. They even have the technology to create deceptive UFO phenomena using special effects or falsified documents. Yet, since the Neanderthal era, reports of UFO and alien sightings which strongly resemble modern ones have appeared. These reports remain largely inexplicable and hold bases for further investigations.

We have worked with the paranormal almost her entire life researching incidents such as Area 51 and other UFO Sightings.

UFO History On Planet Earth

Let's take a quick look at UFO history. These days unidentified flying objects are becoming increasingly popular. We can see this clearly in the many recent movies featuring aliens and spacecraft. This wasn't always a popular subject and, in fact, people who spoke out about what they had witnessed were often subjected to ridicule.

We must keep open minds and consider all evidence objectively. One thing I consider is that in our modern world it is easy for us to dream up visions of UFOs and aliens. We have seen them in movies time and again.

Here are some questions I'd like you to consider. What prompted ancient man to draw rocket ships and saucers on the cave walls? Why would a person living in the middle ages include flying spacecraft in their paintings? Where would that idea even come from?

In my mind, the answer to these questions are the same. They were drawing and painting objects and events they had witnessed or others of their time had witnessed and shared.

The skeptics around the world have said that these UFOs can be explained in other, perhaps less frightening, ways. Explanations range from weather balloons to light from Venus reflecting off swamp gas and illuminating a meteorite. Others say that in fact these sightings are visitors from another world.

The first sightings in UFO history were documented on rock faces in ancient Hunan, China. The carvings depict figures coming out of floating cylindrical objects resembling space craft. Scientists state these drawings date back to the time of Neanderthals, around 45,000 BC. The earliest UFO sightings in what we would consider recorded history can be found in 4th century Chinese texts. These texts state that a "moon boat" hovers above China every 12 years.

In addition to the drawings, stories of the encounters have been told for thousands of years. A Roman author, Julius Obsequens, believed to have lived in the fourth century A.D., compiled a book Prodigorium liber claiming that people had seen a fire in the sky.

Although there were many people who had seen unknown objects in the skies, the first investigation did not happen until 1232. This investigation took place in Japan after members of the army reported that they had seen odd lights, which were in the sky for several minutes.

Recent interest in the subject began around 1947. A sighting of several ships was reported and put down to German technology. Soon afterwards, the popular Roswell Daily Record announced that there was in fact a capture of an alien ship and its passengers.

The military issued a retraction shortly afterward. There are many people who believe it is simply not possible for all of the military personnel to have mistakenly identified a weather balloon as an alien ship... including alien beings as was originally stated by the military officer in charge.

In 2009 and 2010 there have been many sightings around the world and particularly in China. Indeed today it seems that China is one of the hot spots to find activity. There have been over 15 sightings all over the country in a very short space of time.

Another area that is seeing increased recent UFO activity is the United Kingdom. Particularly around the Huddersfield area.

Regardless of your own personal belief of UFOs, they are very much a part of our lives. Few subjects have such a rich background going back as far in time as UFO history. The amazing drawings that have been discovered provide some basis for the belief that life exists outside of our world and that life has visited us here on Earth.

UFO History: Fact, Fiction or Fantasy?

Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight... words many of us may have uttered as we gazed at the night sky. But what if that bright light wasn't a star at all, but instead, something mysterious, even frightening, that we couldn't explain?

These unidentified flying objects, otherwise known as UFOs, have been sighted throughout history, with one prominent example being the sighting of Halley's Comet. The comet was first documented by Chinese astronomers in 240 B.C. and was known for terrifying people on several occasions.

UFOs were often associated with religious implications, with some people passing them off as visits from angels or other celestial beings. Even today's UFO hunters have compared the religious icons and symbols seen in old paintings to corresponding to UFO sightings.

While science was eventually able to explain the comets streaking through the night sky, there are still many incidents that have yet to be explained. UFOs are represented as everything from a funny cartoon character or a lovable ET to something as terrifying as the War of the World Martian attackers or even biological entities that take over our bodies such as that of Invasion of the Body Snatchers or other theatrical thrillers.

Modern enthusiasm for UFOs started in 1947 when an American businessman named Kenneth Arnold reported strange lights and bright unidentified objects near Mount Rainer, Wash. His report of a flat object shaped like a pan, helped to coin the phrase, "flying saucer."

That year brought hundreds of UFO sightings, with the most famous being the July 8 Roswell incident in which an alien spacecraft allegedly crashed in the desert killing the aliens within it, whose bodies were then retrieved by the government. Later, the Air Force released statements saying it had been merely debris from a downed weather balloon.

Since that now infamous incident, the UFO craze has skyrocketed and the division between those who believe and those who don't isn't always easy to determine. Even scientists and others who study the phenomenon of UFO sightings across the U.S. and the world admit that between five and 20 percent of unidentified sightings can't be identified in any way, shape or form.

So, what are these bright and shining lights in the sky? Are they creatures from another world? Aliens come to say hello or possibly even to take over our planet?

Despite the public's widespread interest in UFOs and all things related, there really hasn't been much serious scientific study of UFOs or acknowledgment in scientific literature. Any official study by the government ended in 1969 when the Condon Report stated that the study of UFOS couldn't be justified, and that conclusion was the one endorsed by the National Academy of Scientists. Even so, another review by a UFO subcommittee of the AIAA disagreed and said that at least 30 percent of the cases the government has studied were yet to be explained.

In addition, no government officials anywhere in the world has ever come out and said one way or another that UFOs are either real or not real, or if they were a concern for national defense. Despite that, there have been investigations over the years done by the military and governments in the U.S. and other countries. The first known semi-public study was done by the U.S. Air Force in 1947 when they created Project Sign, to study the UFO phenomenon and there were numerous other studies both classified and non-classified over the years leading up to this day.

Another Air Force venture well known to UFO enthusiasts is the 1950s creation of Project Blue Book to study UFOs. Before the project ended in Dec. 1969, it had collected more than 12,000 incidents of UFO sightings. Despite such an overwhelming number of incidents, Blue Book members concluded that UFOs were either extraterrestrial in nature or even anything more than either someone trying to get publicity through a hoax, mass hysteria of the people who said they saw them or misidentifying some sort of natural or manmade object.

Sightings of UFOs are announced frequently, with some incidents causing great alarm, such as the recent shutdown of the airports in China due to a rash of UFO sightings in October and November 2010. A quick scan of the Internet will show hundreds of sightings from things as simple as a bright light in the sky to something as dramatic and frightening as alien abductions or cattle mutilations.

What are these unidentified sightings and flying objects? There doesn't appear to be a concrete answer to that age old question, but that won't stop mankind from looking up into the sky and wondering, am I really alone? Or is there anyone else out there either friend or foe?
