Thanks, Tommy.

On a more serious note.

My thoughts on this are that it was aliens who came here thousands of years ago, but from where?

The Pyramids. They were erected in the desert where there was no water and probably little or no vegetation, yet we're to believe that those huge stone blocks were transported by slaves rolling them over vast distances on cut down trees in blistering heat and which would have taken hundreds of years to build. Even by our own technology and state of the art building machinery, it would be a massive construction project, even for just one single pyramid.

Time Travel. It's an interesting concept but, even if time travel were to be discovered in our distant future, why would our ascendants go back in time to build pyramids etc, thereby creating their own history?

Look at the difference between the Greek and Roman empires and their incredible architecture, and the Pyramids of Egypt, and we're talking around 3-4 thousand years ago, and compare them with today's technology. To re-create such structures of the same quality would take many years, vast amounts of labour, materials and money.

Methusalah, who died at age 969? Well, we know that even with today's medical advancement that isn't possible, but it would be if Methusalah was an alien and lived many light years away from Earth and our own Galaxy, the Milky Way, which Earth is 26,000 light years from the centre of, and which is just a tiny speck in the Universe. The uneducated people who saw these beings would see them perhaps every six or 12 months, during which time, time would pass on Earth hundreds of years, and will have heard of in folklore of this man (and others) who lived to a great age and the stories were passed down in tales, and eventually in writings as people evolved. Read about Ezekial who describes a fiery chariot coming from a certain direction to Earth which had wheels within wheels! These are sightings from people whose education was limited and could only recite what they saw. They had no way of theorising, but said what they saw, and drew what they'd seen in cave drawings, such as men in what appear to be space suits. They didn't have the capacity to make up something of which they'd had no prior knowledge or seen.

It's all speculation and theory, but there are a great many findings - read about the Nazca Plains - which aren't proof of alien intervention but, just a mere 10,000 years ago humans were still running around in loin clothes then suddenly, whoosh! They began to evolve into sentient beings and began to think, act and communicate with each other and the development of language, in the blink of an eye which, in the vastness of time itself, was just a few years.

So, what am I saying? I think aliens played a part in creating humans from creatures that were already indigenous to this planet which had a structure formed, perhaps similar to their own in order to, perhaps, create a new environment for their own kind some time in the future which they could colonise but, maybe it didn't work out too well in their experiment, or perhaps we haven't yet reached the required level of enlightenment which they expected because we're still in the caveman state, to their way of thinking. So, perhaps they pop back every now and again to see how things are progressing and every once in a while they give the more intelligent of us a bit of a nudge in technology like harnessing electricity, radio waves, TV, computers, but we focus on manufacturing bigger and better ways of causing mass destruction, and all the other "discoveries" that have been made over a mere 150 years which has taken us 10,000 years to achieve. Put the skeleton of a man next to the skeleton of a gorilla and, apart from a bonier skull, there's little difference. Put a new-born gorilla against a new-born human baby, and there's no visible difference. Genetic engineering?

I know. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. These are just my own personal thoughts on this fascinating subject, and I don't believe for one moment that every person in the world who says they've seen UFOs and aliens are cranks. Some may well have seen experimental craft that fly under the radar; but there are too many well-documented sightings to be swept under the carpet, and too many Top Secret reports that have been redacted by the governments of the world.

Finally, it would be incredibly pompous of us to believe that we are the only "intelligent" life forms in the Universe, and I use the word "intelligent" loosely. If I am right, and it can neither be proved nor disproved, that alien intervention created us, then their occasional trips might take them just a few days, but in Earthly terms hundreds of years will have passed and we have barely progressed in a measly 10,000 years, and are still in a state of sub-human evolution. Evolution and progression has nothing to do with technology and what we can achieve. It goes much deeper than that.

So, outer space, or a fourth dimension? 'Tis a mystery.
