“Dale Russell, curator of fossil vertebrates at the National Museums of Canada in Ottawa, has developed a theory that intelligent life forms could have developed from the large reptiles that roamed the earth (in ancient times).
“Russell calls his imaginary creature a ‘Dinosauroid‘ which would look like a hairless, green-skinned reptile with a bulging skull, luminous cat-like eyes, and three-fingered hands…
“The amphibians evolved into a humanoid species that eventually developed a culture that ran its course or was destroyed in an Atlantis-like catastrophe–just after they had begun exploring extraterrestrial frontiers.
Certain UFOnauts, then, maybe the descendants of the survivors of that amphibian culture RETURNING from their space colony to monitor the present dominant species on the HOME planet.”
in 1982 paleontologist Dale Russell, curator of vertebrate fossils at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa conjectured a possible evolutionary path that might have been taken by bipedal predator dinosaurs had they, not all perished in the K/T extinction event 65 million years ago.
A few scientists have followed Russel’s idea, but many are highly skeptical. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
