It amazes me to hear the skeptics speak about how the whole concept of Ufology is a twentieth century phenomenon and some of them have compared UFOs and aliens to demons and witches and other things that go bump in the night. Matter of fact, if you hear any of the presentations from these skeptics or read any of the things they've written about their theory, you probably would be agreeing with them because they present a very strong case that shows the study of Ufological things didn't begin prior to 1947. Are they correct? Have we only been worried about UFOs and beings from other planets in the last hundred years? Of course not! The ones who say that UFOs are a recent phenomenon probably did not do well in history in school. They simply took some of the information out there... molded it to their particular piece and ignored all the other things that have been out there simply waiting for us to interpret them.

UFOs have been visiting our planet for millennia now and although we might not have known what to call them or had the technology to record images of their visits, our ancestors left behind many clues that the visitors to our planet were not from this world.

Some of these things were in ancient art in the only manner in which some ancient civilizations knew how to record things to pass along to future generations. Drawings, statues, and when we advanced far enough, paintings and the written word.

Some of the accounts that they put together are believed to be an attempt to communicate with the visitors from the sky. The line drawings of the Plains of Nazca in Peru were thought to be a way for the natives to signal or point to some ancient visitors from the skies because you can only view the animal drawings they created from high in the air... something we were not capable of doing in those ancient times.

But the trail throughout history is extensive and the Aztecs, the Mayans, North American Native Indians and even artists from the European Rennaissance recorded instances of what can only be described as a UFO with the benefit of today's knowledge and capability to interpret them. Paintings showing disks in the air that clearly were not intended to be planets or the sun or the moon. Ancient written accounts about seeing things in the sky that were vehicles that nobody on this planet had the knowledge to put together all show us that UFOs are not merely an aberration of the 20th century.....

But that's just my take on it!
