There are quite a few people who believe that aliens from other planets have left messages for us and that we are just not advanced enough to be able to realize this fact. There are all different theories about where these messages are stored. Some say that there is a message in our DNA and that this message will allow us to join some sort of confederation of planets. While this may be literally possible to do, one cannot help but feel that this is probably not the way to go. It is sort of hard to believe that anyone would dabble in the DNA of a species, just to leave a message, however I guess we cannot rule this completely out. Of course there are all those crop circles out there with their elaborate figures, circles, triangles and such, but many of these have been proved to be hoaxes. The problem is always the same, if you prove that there are some hoaxes in a field of study than people tend to believe that everything in that field is a hoax. When we talk about crop circles there are some very strange things about some of them, that cannot be explained and are far beyond the capabilities of any hoaxer. For example there is the mysterious radiation that seems to come from the center of some of the circles that affects many people and makes them sick. Another fact that can't be readily explained is that some of the circles are made in such a way that the wheat is folded down and not crushed. When a hoaxer creates a crop circle, he usually uses a tool which is nothing more than a board with a rope through it. What he does is push down on this board with his foot to flatten the crops, which in turn crushes them. This is a completely different method than what is used in some of the other circles. Think about this for a second, how would someone create a crop circle without crushing the crop itself? There may be a way, but I can't think of it.

One incredible crop circle that appeared overnight at Milk Hill in Wiltshire contains a very intricate depiction of an alien with some sort of disk next to him. Maybe I should say next to it. It has been thought by many that the disk represents some sort of message and indeed it does give you this impression when you look at it. This particular crop circle is said to be the most complex one ever devised, but there is more to it than just great artwork. A specialist in decoding messages claims that he has decoded the message on the disc and here it is, "Beware the bear is a fool's gifts & their broken promises. Much pain would still time, EERIJUE. There is good out there. We oppose deception. conduit closing (Bell sound)" . So here you see one case where a crop circle supposedly has been proven to contain a message to the human race. The next question that has to be asked is, where does this message come from? Just because there is a message certainly doesn't mean that it is from aliens, but who else would have been able to create this masterpiece in such a short time without being seen? Another amazing crop circle appeared almost instantly next to the Chibolton radio Observatory, which just happens to be only a few miles away from that first intricate crop circle that we just discussed. What is amazing about this one is that the message it contains is an exact duplicate of one that was sent out by the Arecibo radio telescope. Was this some sort of cosmic answer to a message that we sent? If you look at the crop circle and look at the message, they are virtually identical. It makes you wonder how even hoaxers could be so precise in their work? It has to make one think that this was not a hoax at all.

Some people believe that we are receiving messages from aliens who are using our very own Internet. Quite frankly I can't figure out how we would ever know? Lets face it, there are so many crazy people out there and so many people committing frauds that it would be almost impossible to isolate a true alien message, if indeed one did exist. Be that as it may, I am going to look into some of these accusations. While not exactly an alien, there was someone on the internet several years ago who claimed to be a time traveler. He went on to different chat groups and gave lengthily discussions about future technologies that he said existed in his time. He never seemed to evade any questions and claimed that he was going to have to go back to the future in six months and after six months he was never heard from again. This caused quite a star on the Internet at the time for those that believed what he had to say and there are still some of them around today. Many of you out there do not know this, but if you actually spoke to an alien from another world, even over the Internet, you would be breaking a federal law if you lived in the United States. On one hand we are told that such things do not exist, but on the other hand laws are passed to prevent us from doing just that. I'm afraid that claiming to be a space alien and being on the Internet just doesn't hold much water.

One of the main ways that aliens are said to be communicating with humans is by thought transference. This is the process of sending messages directly into our mind. Many abductees report that during their abduction experience they were communicated with by telepathy. This is quite a common thread that runs through many different abduction reports. Some say that they were awoken by alien messages, from a sound sleep. They then ran to their window and above their building was a UFO, usually just hovering. This is not that unusual a story. I even interviewed a person who claims that he was able to send outgoing messages to aliens and they would appear and answered him by telepathy. He went on to say that these particular aliens looked just like us and therefore nobody really noticed them. The person I am talking about is a well respected member of his community, so please don't think I am just talking about some crackpot. For years now it has been said that people have been receiving these types of messages. Are these true alien messages? I guess only time will hold the answer to this question. What I mean by that is that if we ever do meet an alien race, we will just have to ask them if they were sending out these types of communications.

I guess by now everyone has heard of SETI, but in case you haven't, SETI stands for the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. For years the United States government funded a program whose sole purpose was to try and receive messages from outer space. The idea was to find out if there were other civilizations out there. One day, for no apparent reason that I can see, the government decided that the program was too expensive and canceled it. I am talking about a program that only cost a few million dollars and in the scheme of things really didn't matter as far as the budget goes. At this point it seemed like the program was doomed, but thanks to the people that ran it and the generosity of the public, the program continues even today. The criteria was that if they received what they believed was an intelligent signal they would have to slough the telescope away and then back to see if they could pick the signal up again. They claim that they have not been able to find any signals that met this criteria. The truth of the matter is they have received several signals that many believe are from intelligent societies, one was so powerful that it created a stir at SETI that they never got over. One of the researchers wrote the word wow in the column on the printout next to the signal and because of this the signal became famous as the WOW signal. Every possible terrestrial source and satellite was eliminated and the signal was still there. Were they able to move away from the signal and then go back to it as the criteria demanded? They claim that it wasn't there on the second time around and it just disappeared. Many say that this is not the case and because of the signal we can be sure that aliens are out there and maybe even trying to contact us.

Then there are those drawings from ancient peoples that seemed to depict aliens, spaceships and things of that nature. Where these drawings created on the command of the aliens to let us know that they were here in the past? Different objects have been found that are unexplainable, we just don't know what they are, could they also be alien messages left for us? If aliens are responsible for thought transference, could they be responsible for those painting from the middle ages that seem to have ufos in the background? Let me ask you this question, why would some great artist paint the Madonna and Child and then include a typical saucer shaped object in the background with a man looking up at it? This seems to defy the entire purpose of a religious painting, don't you think? Could this have been an involuntary message left for us by aliens through some unsuspecting individual that just HAD TO paint this object into his painting?

Could there be messages from aliens all over the Earth and we are just not advanced or sophisticated enough to notice them? Maybe someday we will just have an epiphany and discover what all these things are saying and at that point we will realize that there are others out there.
