1800s: Mysterious Sailing Saucer And A Woman Identified In Japanese Folk Tale

According to Japanese folk tales, extraterrestrials visited planet Earth in the 19th century. Many stories and theories have been telling that aliens have been visiting Earth secretly for many centuries now. However, this particular folktale from Japan, which believed to happen in the early 1800s, continues to inspire many UFO enthusiasts and believers. Reportedly written in 1825, the story starts with the discovery of a very unusual vessel floating in the ocean by Japanese sailors. Described by the sailors as a circular object, it appeared to have a lid covering the top of the ship with glass windows. When the very strange vessel got to shore, a gorgeous woman came out with bright red hair, holding an unknown box. The woman would not allow […] Read More

1977: MYSTERIES OF THE GODS – William Shatner

William Shatner explores the theory that the U.S. government is involved in a cover-up of visiting alien spacecraft. Based on a book by Erich von Daniken, this documentary contains evidence of extraterrestrial life here on earth. Proof discovered through photographs taken by scientists and evidence of actual voyages found by archaeologists. Everything from the Peruvian Crystal Skull to the megalith structures in the jungles of Southeast Asia is accepted as evidence for the AAS theory. Cave drawings, old legends, Biblical stories and even some psychic visions of late Jeane Dixon are understood as stone-cold facts. Eric von Däniken‘s reputation was still quite unspoiled at the time so all the arguments (even the most far-fetched) are shown with great confidence.

1996: Author sticks by ET theories – Interview with Erich von Daniken

Billy Cox, Floriday Today Summary: At age 62, the godfather of the Ancient Astronauts Society may seem like a flawed relic from the 1960s. But Erich Von Daniken never went away. Von Daniken has never wavered from his premise that ancient scribes contributing to holy texts (in Eastern and Western traditions) were describing contact with technologically sophisticated extraterrestrial visitors. MELBOURNE, Fla. – At age 62, the godfather of the Ancient Astronauts Society may seem like a flawed relic from the 1960s. But Erich Von Daniken never went away; two weeks ago, production crews finished filming yet another documentary on the Swiss author’s controversial research, which will air in the States on the A&E Channel late this year or early 1997. On a rain-soaked weekday […] Read More

1997: ETs and Ancient Astronauts are Illuminati Propaganda

article extracted from Truth Campaign issue 25 with additional material Foreword by Ivan Fraser Over the last 30 years or so there has been increasing interest in the ‘ancient astronaut’ thesis. Although this fascination with ‘real’ alien visitors essentially hit mainstream consciousness with the works of Erik Von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin, the population has been mentally prepared for the aliens since the beginning of the 20th century by science-fiction in books, comics, movies, and tv shows. It is so innate to our collective psyche today that there are very few who do not relate the idea of UFOs to extra-terrestrial beings and have an immediate mental image of the ‘greys’ and the similar spindly beings of Spielberg’s Close Encounters, or Whitley Streiber’s Communion, […] Read More

1997: Unvoiced Testimony: Visitors in the Dawn Times?

Scott Corrales original source Summary: The branch of UFO research which could rightly deserve the appellation of “paleoufology” constituted a controversial field of investigation during the 1970s, when authors like Otto Binder (Unsolved Mysteries of the Past), Richard E. Mooney (Gods of Air and Darkness), and Erich Von Daniken (Chariots of the Gods?) wrote extensively on human/alien interaction at the dawn of recorded history and even earlier.

1998: Alien Artifacts

A Real Alien? This picture was taken from a frame of a video called “UFOs: Fifty Years of Denial” © 1998 produced by Quick FOX Production, James Fox, Executive Producer (not associated with the FOX News Network). FOX Production said that the “alien” picture was dated circa 1952 and wouldn’t give anymore details.Note the apparent bruising on the face and the knot running diagonally up along the thin neck (like its head was twisted more that 90 degrees then brought back). Is this evidence of crash injuries? It appears that the EBE was erected upright for this picture, you can also make out what looks like rags or packing material is just behind it. Another striking feature is what appears to be a tight […] Read More

1998: A Primer: UFO’s Throughout History

MUFON Summary: The sighting of strange objects in the sky may actually predate the emergence of modern man. Perhaps the earliest depiction of cylindrical objects resembling spacecraft, with what might be their extraterrestrial occupants, are those carved on a granite mountain and on rocks on an island in Hunan Province, China. They have been assigned a tentative age of 47,000 years, which puts them within the time-span of Neanderthal man, predating modern Homo sapiens. Millions of people have seen objects in the sky that they could not identify, and many thousands have taken the time and trouble to submit written reports about them. The vast majority of these sightings could well be of such things as meteors, planets, stars, weather balloons, swamp gas, and […] Read More

1998: The UFO Phenomenon In History

Steven Mizrach Summary: The purpose of this essay is not to demonstrate the validity of the “ancient astronauts” school of thought. As that branch of UFOlogy has several flaws and is dependent on the ETH, I am not inclined to back up its presuppositions. What I am trying to demonstrate is that there have been encounters between UFOs and UFO entities throughout history, long before 1947.

2002: Gods from Outer Space?

Christy Taylor Summary: Have we been visited? Have extra-terrestrials influenced our history? If you look at mythology, it appears we have been visited! Almost all mythologies (Christian mythology included) mentions some sort of flying gods. Have we been visited? Have extra-terrestrials influenced our history? If you look at mythology, it appears we have been visited! Almost all mythologies (Christian mythology included) mentions some sort of flying gods. In the Algonquin myth (as told in J.F. Bierlein’s book “Parallel Myths”) a hunter, Algon comes upon a circle cut in the grass. Hiding in the bushes, he watches a great willow basket descend from the sky, and twelve beautiful maidens emerge. Doesn’t this description of a flying “basket” sound similar to modern reports of “flying saucers”? […] Read More

2008: UFOs and 14th Century Black Death

© 2008 by Linda Moulton Howe “People were reporting ‘comets.’ But they were clearly not comets from the descriptions. People were reporting bright flying objects and said the aerial objects were spraying gas, which they called ‘mists’ that caused the Black Death.” – William Bramley, Atty., The Gods of Eden The classic sign of the 14th Century bubonic plague was the appearance of buboes shown in the illustration, which are swollen lymph nodes in the groin, the neck, and armpits that oozed pus and bled. Most victims died within four to seven days after infection. Illustration of the Black Death from the Toggenburg Bible in 1411. Click here for Earthfiles podcast.

2014: UFO Seen In Fifteenth-Century Painting From The Birthplace Of Dracula

Recently discovered painting from Sighisoara, Romania shows what appears to be a UFO hovering above the building that might be related to the real-life Dracula. The painting is located on the 700-year-old monastery’s wall and was photographed by tourist Catalina Borta this summer. Borta sent the photograph to a UFO research group for further evaluation. The painting shows an apparent church, perhaps the same building where the painting was seen, somewhat engulfed in flames. A large, hovering disc can be seen over the church with a column of smoke from or to the sky. Sighisoara is believed to be the place where Vlad Tepes was born in 1431, not long after the monastery was constructed where the painting appears. Tepes is also known as […] Read More
