Yeah. We are visited by non-organic items, too.

The Historical Record of Planet Earth speaks of ongoing contact with extraterrestrials as found in oral traditions, tablets, stone monuments, petroglyphs, and art forms found throughout the planet.

Only to those with no critical thinking skills, but It'd take far more time and effort than I'm prepared to put into it to debunk all those silly claims at that site you linked to. Suppose some credulous soul 2000 years from now comes across a series of 1950s era pulp science fiction magazine covers and assumes they're representations of true events. That's about the level of analysis that site displays.

I rummaged around in there a bit and found references to one item I already know about, the so-called Coso Artifact, and the way it's presented is fairly typical of such woo-woo sites: find something initially inexplicable and never follow up the research on it. The Coso Artifact is claimed to be a half-million year old spark plug, and much is made of its possible extraterrestrial or extinct civilization origins. It has been shown to be just a heavily rusted but otherwise perfectly ordinary Champion spark plug from the 1920s.

so, I assume you feel we are alone in the universe?

 

[L Gilbert]

I don't. But then I don't think there's an extraterrestrial around every corner either. lol

 

[Dexter Sinister]

Why would you assume that? As it happens, I think it's highly improbable that we're alone in the universe, given the size of the place and the little bit of it we've been able to explore. I'm agnostic on the point, in the sense that we currently don't know whether we're alone or not but the question is an empirical one about the nature of things that is, at least in principle, answerable. We just don't have the answer yet. My point was that the quality of evidence and analysis displayed at crystalinks.com doesn't demonstrate anything but credulity and ignorance and sloppy wishful thinking, in the style of Erich von Daniken and Graham Hancock. It emphatically fails to make the case that we've ever been visited by extraterrestrials.

 

[Unforgiven]

Why is it that we're either alone in this vast ocean or we're filthy with aliens that enjoy above all inconsistency and contradiction? If the best evidence so far is something that has to be taken on faith, then it's no more than a belief.

While everyone is entitled to believe in something, it's not crazy for others not to believe the same thing.

Stretch, the acolytes of orthodoxy seldom allow the introduction of previously proscribed material deemed outside of the establishment paradigm. Control of the masses depends on vigorous defence of that paradigm mostly through limiting natural inquiry in subject matters deemed exotic and fringe. Of course it is exactly on the fringe and the extremes where the meat is hidden. The ridicule of our resident skeptics is to be had rather easily, one has only to engage ones own criticle thinking outside of the established lines where you're not allowed to be. They are champions of criticle thought in their delusion only. Were invention left to them we would still be wheelless. I bet if you did the math you'd find a way better than even prospect of common alien traffic here on the old ball . It didn't take us long to start space exploration and it may not be the first time that we did. The missing link ain't from arround here I reckon.:lol:

Yeah, sure Beave. Anybody who thinks Velikovsky was right has no credibility when it comes to understanding anything about science, his work is full of elementary blunders. You still have no idea what you're talking about, and you don't know enough physics or mathematics to understand how thoroughly wrong you are. You're lost in a paranoid conspiracy fantasy.
