hey brill have you ever heard of the crypto- terestrial theory?
lol,what you meen maybe there was once a high tech civilization on Earth, not even necessarily a human civilization, that achieved space flight and either left Earth and is based somewhere else, or is hidden on Earth somehow. And that these hypothetical beings are responsible for UFO reports throughout the centuries. Could this be true? Well, of course it could be true, in the sense that it isn’t crackpot thinking. IE if it was true, it wouldn’t violate any vast body of scientific research and understanding. So the Ancient Techno Theory, to give it a name, passes the first hurdle.
The next hurdle: is it possible that some high technological race is hiding somewhere on Earth or in the Solar System? And as far as I can tell, the answer is a qualified maybe. If we are assuming they are centuries ahead of us technology wise, then we have to assume they have the technology to cloak their bases and that they use some form of communication that isn’t detectable with our technology. And hell, a largish asteroid painted black would do for a hiding place so long as they were careful not to let it come too close to something else where orbital perturbations might give them away. It’s a little contrived, but not impossible, so I’ll grant that maybe our Ancient Techno peeps could be based nearby.
Next problem, if they evolved on Earth, where are the ruins? Good question. Again though, especially if we are talking a race that evolved millions of years ago, there are possibilities. There are vast sunken land masses like Zealandia in the Pacific or the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean. Heck, our putative beings might have lived on the sea floor, and their ancestral home has now been subducted into the Earth’s mantle. There’s also Antarctica or Greenland. Lost civilizations are being discovered to this day, so it’s possible that their ruins are either long gone or simply haven’t been discovered yet.
no i havnt mate,lol ;D.........yeah its a good theory
