Are We Looking in the Wrong Direction?

There is a common belief in the UFO community that we have been visited almost continuously over the ages. In our attempts to find these visitors we have studied the stars that lie far from our own. But what if we are looking the wrong way?
The Bible speaks of a race, chosen by God, which faced almost continual persecution through out their history. Driven out of their homeland by natural forces they were enslaved, escaped, were pursued, wandered for decades, returned to their home, and then were attacked, conquered, and scattered across the planet.
Let’s think about this for a moment. Let’s suppose that part of this story relates to a race other than the Hebrews of the Bible. Let’s say it refers to a race from another planet.
Long ago on a planet far far away there was a race of beings. For some reason the planet became unable to sustain the people so in a massive effort they left their home world and searched for another. On the outer edge of a spiral galaxy they found one that was all but perfect. The only draw back was it was populated by a less advanced species that was very much like themselves. The travelers settled into an area of the Far East in what is now the sub continent of Indo-China, where they established settlements and in time even began to mate with the locals. While many lived in the villages and towns on earth many, for some reason, remained in the large ships that remained in very low orbit overhead. Ancient pictographs and carvings from around the world show what may have been these visitors with flying machines.
Sound familiar? If you are a follower of the Ancient Aliens theory it should. The texts are often quoted in arguments about early UFOs. Artifacts from around the world that seem to portray aircraft and flying objects may refer to these visitors. According to the texts the travelers were around for generations before something went terribly wrong. Written roughly 4000 years ago the texts describe a war that took place between rival factions of the travelers, after which the survivors left on their original ships. While no solid reason is given in these texts for the split there is a story else where that may fit.
The Bible tells of a time when the children of men mingled with the beings from Heaven. And it describes efforts by the leaders of the beings to end the interbreeding. Many biblical scholars of the middle ages tried to compute the age of man by working backward through the generations of Noah and came up with a period of 5000 years or about 4000 years BC. Again sound familiar?
The ancient texts, the Bible, and the writings and legends of other civilizations describe attempts by some to survive horrendous attacks on settlements by beings not of this world and even contain instructions from Gods for armies to wipe out whole peoples. Could these be continuing efforts to remove the visitor’s genes from the pool? We have evidence from around the world of cities that were abandoned, and of civilizations that disappeared. Were they wiped out by chemical or biological warfare? There are stories from the Dark Ages that talk of hooded figures walking in the crops of some villages sweeping staffs back and forth over the crops that made a hissing sound. Could they have been spraying a biological agent in the fields that caused the plagues? Is the image handed down of the Grim Reaper with his scythe actually a being in a Hazmat Suit with a spray wand in his hand?
Then we have another story to consider. In Germany in the 1560s the citizens arose as the night watchmen began sounding an alarm. The morning skies were alight with moving lights. As dawn broke the lights became objects of different sizes and shapes that mingled and swept across the sky as far as the eye could see. To people some what familiar with sea battles it became clear that a huge battle, that we would call an aerial Dog Fight today, was underway. The battle must have raged in the space around the planet and drifted down into the atmosphere, and one can only imagine what the night sky that morning had looked like with the combatants far above in view. As they watched they saw some objects destroyed and even some seem to fall to earth. But in time one group gained the upper hand and the battle moved up and out of view.
By its self this is very interesting but then we have the report from an astronomer in Spain about 200 years later of a fleet of shapes seen in sillhouette against the Sun. A fleet that traveled in a stream across the disc that took hours to pass. As recently as this year large objects have been seen by astronomers passing between the Earth and the Sun. What might these things be?
Could it be that the race of travelers that once lived among us are still nearby? Attacked and forced to flee the planet they may have been forced to watch as their descendants were hunted down and killed. Or perhaps the text is closer and the fight was among factions of their own people, possibly driven by a type of racism to protect the purity of their own race. Remember, for most of history man was to take wives only from among his own people. Could this be a reflection of this ancient bias to protect the bloodlines? What would a species that looked enough like us to live among us look like after 500 years in space? Large heads and shrunken bodies perhaps?
Today we have the UFO phenomenon and the Alien Abduction reports. Could this be an effort to protect what’s left of the mixed bloodlines, or an effort to find and destroy the last traces of it?
Several studies of the abduction phenomonen have found that there are far too many for simple scientific sampleing, but it would match an attempt to monitor the spread of an infection.
Perhaps the UFOs we see aren’t from beyond the stars but from bases inside our own orbit. They may be here as protectors trying to guard the offspring of their ancestors, or they may be here to enforce a quarantine and keep our mixed species from spreading. In either case we can only wonder what will be the final outcome.
