Russian Governor and Businessman, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov Abduction 1997
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the Governor of the Russian republic of Kalmykia, is a very well known political figure. He is a multimillionaire businessman, a budhist leader, and head of the World Chess Federation. He does not fit the description of usual alien abductees.However, Ilyumzhinov claims he was abducted by aliens at his apartment home in Moscow on September 18, 1997. He described the aliens as looking similar to human beings wearing yellow space suits. He claims that an alien spaceship, which looked like a “semi-transparent half tube” landed on his apartment balcony and took him on the ship to a star, where he was given a yellow spacesuit to match them. Ilyumzhinov explained that he spoke to the aliens telepathically as they communicated their desire to prove to him the reality of their existence. He claims that the aliens told him that they are not ready to show themselves to the rest of the world yet.

Investigation and Press
Andrei Lebedev, a State Duma deputy, was the reporter on the case and wrote to the Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev asking him to launch an investigation fearing the details of the conversation between the Russian leader and the aliens. The Russian parliament fears that Ilyumzhinov might have leaked secret information and they are uneasy about the abduction and what communication was exchanged.

Kirsan Ilyumzhino was interviewed with the popular Russian TV host, Vladimir Pozner. He told Pozner that the aliens are just regular people like humans. He also claimed that there were three witnesses in the apartment the evening of the abduction: his driver, his minister, and his assistant.

Ilyumzhino has gained international coverage. His story was covered by news such as ABC news, BBC News and the Guardian.

Adams Calendar is considered to be, according to Michael Tellinger, the oldest man made structure on earth. It is located in Southern Africa amongst thousands of amazingly situated stone circle ruins that are approximately 250,000 years old. Soil and sediment cover some of the stones and some have fallen over but they are still visible and are a man-made miracle to this day. It is probable that a great flood occurred and wiped out most of the area, as referenced by the Bible.

Designed by an Advanced Culture
Each of the stone circles are uniquely designed and placed astrologically aligned, demonstrating a great understanding of the earth and stars. The ruins explain that the people who built them understood advanced technology in agriculture, energy, and science. The stone circles were built as a connected unit by channels of roads and agricultural terraces spanning about 447 square miles and could feed about 50,000 people.

Natural Energy Force of the Stone Circles
The highly advanced ancient civilization who designed these structures understood natural energy sources produced from the earth that most people in our modern era have not even heard of. They understand that the core of the earth itself rings like a bell, which produces energy. When building these stone circles, certain rocks were used that also ring like bells and produce a special energy force. Each stone was placed according to the sound it makes in relation to another as well as the astrological position.

Gold Mines
One of the most important aspects of the South African stone circle ruins is that they were placed over an enormous amount of gold mines. The people who dwelled in the area somehow understood that the abundance of the earth’s gold presided in this area of Africa and they desired gold for some extremely important reason. Some hypothesize that earth’s gold is needed for the atmosphere of other planets and this is why earth was populated in the first place.

Adams Calendar
The stone circle that has been considered the most sacred of them all and possibly the most sacred and oldest structure on earth has been called Adams Calendar. The monoliths were first discovered by Johane Heine, a professional pilot. He then began researching this stone ruin and invited Michael Tellinger to assist him. Over the years they have made fascinating discoveries. They named the stone circle, “Adam’s Calendar” after Adam (the oldest man on earth). The calendar is in the name because the stones are placed in order to track the movement of the sun, which casts shadows on the rocks. It still works perfectly today as a calendar. The monoliths are aligned with each direction: north, south, east and west as well as the equinoxes and solstices. The three rocks in the center of the circle are aligned with the star formation, Orion’s belt, just like the great pyramids of Giza, Mexico, and China. It appears that this same civilization was being guided by the same knowledge as the civilizations that built pyramids all over the world without communication that we are aware of.

The monoliths of Adam’s calendar are dolerite and the only dolerite vein is almost a mile away, meaning that the rocks that weigh as much as 5 tons were somehow carried all the way to that precise place for a particular alignment.

The Insemination-
Where Heaven Mated with Earth
Adam’s Calendar is considered to be the sacred place where humans originated from. Zecharia Sitchen, a famous writer who translated the Sumerian tablets, referenced a scared place where “Annunaki” lived on the edge of a cliff, called the “Abzu.” Michael Tellinger has realized that he has found the Abzu, here at Adams Calendar when comparing the location descriptions from Sitchens writings. They match up perfectly in location and with the view of the great pyramids of Giza, as well as the astrological position and relation to the millions of goldmines.
The people of South Africa have also had the ancient knowledge that this area was where heaven mated with earth and gave life.

Anunnaki Created Human Beings as a Slave Race
Tellinger believes that Annuaki females (from another planet) were first impregnated here at Adam’s calendar with fertilized eggs of human beings. These human beings became a slave race of gold miners, as gold was the reason why aliens were brought to Earth. There was mass cloning of human beings who immediately began gold mining as a slave race from the time they were cloned into adult human beings.

Sound Frequencies
The latest and most interesting discovery of the stone circles and Adam’s Calendar is the sound frequencies of the rock formations from the earth below them. With modern technology, Tellinger and scientists have been able to detect and measure incredible sound frequencies with acoustic properties made from the earth inside the circles which conduct electricity. These sound frequencies of the earth under the stones are shaped as flowers of sacred geometry as they surface to the ground.

They also measured electronic fields 200 meters underground with a heat Celsius of up to 80 degrees, as hot as volcano earth inside the Adams Calendar. There is no scientific explanation for this because there is no volcano there. The temperature drops dramatically when measured from outside of the circle which is also unexplainable.

Did Michael Tellinger make the physical Link to Zecharia Stitchen’s reference to the “Abzu”? and may have been the beginning of the human slave race.

Puma Punku is a wondrous set of ruins located in the in the ancient city of Tiahuanaco of Bolivia. Filled with massive, precisely cut stones,  these very ancient and mysterious ruins have baffled archaeologists and researchers for years. Ancient alien theorists believe that there may be only one explanation of such amazing workmanship, which dates back thousands of years: Aliens either created the ruins with advanced tools and machinery or they assisted humans in the task.

The mysteries of these ruins are how  they were carved and how they were brought to the top of a plateau. The blocks that created the ruins of Puma Punku were made from very hard rocks of granite and diorite, which are both nearly impossible to cut with anything besides diamond, yet there is no trace of  diamonds near the site.

In addition to the unknown tools that were used, people are also amazed by the the incisions that were made in the stones.  The cuts are extremely fine and perfectly straight, with many pieces stacked or placed together with no spaces or mortar between them. The interlocking of the stones creates a precise puzzle of flawless pieces. Some of the straight grooves are only 1 cm deep, suggesting that a very advanced machine was responsible for creating such precision.  Also, the holes that were formed into the stones are perfect, and all of equal depth, suggesting a high-tech drill of some kind was responsible.

The work done on these stones is advanced and would require the most sophisticated of tools, leaving many wondering how it would have been possible for men living in that area thousands of years ago. This work could have been created from 500 B.C. to the ice age. Even today with modern technology,  it would be nearly impossible to replicate these ruins. This is why ancient alien theorists hypothesize that only aliens could be responsible for helping such primitive people create this work of art.

In addition to the extraordinary carvings and precise craftsmanship, the maneuvering of these stones is just as baffling. Many of the blocks weigh about 200 tons and some are as heavy as 450 tons and more. The question is, how in the world did these stones get on top of a 13,000 foot plateau and how were they moved into place to form the  interlocked puzzles?  While there are explanations of stones being rolled on tree trunks in other areas, this theory does not apply to Puma Punku because there are absolutely no trees on the plateau. There has not been an explanation of either the carving or maneuvering of these massive stones.

According to experts, whoever built the ruins of Puma Punku must have known mathematics  and astronomy and would have had to draw plans and write.  However, there is no evidence that these ancient people were involved with any of this. There are no drawings or writings anywhere on or near the ruins, nor is there any evidence that people of that time were capabale of such knowledge.

There are some who suggest that an advanced civilization of people lived in this area of Bolivia who had writings and plans for this amazing work, but a catastrophic event swept away the remains of the population and created the ruined look of the stones.  There is some evidence to suggest that there was a great flood thousands of years ago that might have wiped out these ancient people and their records. However, this is just a theory.

The conclusion is that there is no good explanation for how these ruins were created. It continues to be a great mystery to this day that has many ancient alien supporters believing that Puma Punku is probably the most significant evidence that earth was visited by extraterrestrials in ancient times.

Easter Island, a very remote and mostly uninhabited location in the southern Pacific Ocean, holds over 800 massive megalith structures called Moai. These Moai were created as the heads and torsos of some kind of man or God without a clear purpose to modern scientists. The structures vary in size and stages of completion, but most of them weigh over 10 tons and some stand over 30 feet tall, seeming to many as an impossible work of art for ancient islanders to complete solely on their own with such primitive tools.

These Moai are so mysterious, not only because of there size and ancient years of creation, but also because of their location. Easter Island was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain. The island is claimed to be the most remote inhabited island in the world. It is small, only measuring 15 miles long and 10 miles wide with its closest island being 1,400 miles away which is uninhabited.

The main theory of the Easter Island mystery is that it was inhabited by Polynesians who discovered the remote island while traveling in their canoes around 400 A.D. These Polynesians settled and created a small civilization. According to oral traditions recorded by missionaries in the 1860s, the island originally had a strong class system, with a high chief, who had power over nine other clans and their respective chiefs. The people produced the moai statues to represent worshiped ancestors. The statues are believed by most to be have been carved out of volcanic island rock and then rolled or dragged, and finally stood upright with ropes as some sort of pulley system.

There has been 887 statues discovered on the island. However, only some are totally completed, while others either look unfinished or destroyed. Some historians believe that the statues were toppled in some sort of civil war of the people. Others believe that because the process of standing the statue upright was so difficult, if a statue fell over while being moved, it was too heavy to try again and instead the islanders went back and carved another.

Another theory by Ron Fisher, who wrote Easter Island Brooding Sentinels of Stone, describes that there were two classes of people who lived on the island. One class had short ears and the other had long ears.  The Short Ears were enslaved by the Long Ears, who forced the Short Ears to carve the Moai. One day many years later, the Short Ears  killed all of the Long Ears in rebellion and this is why there are many uncompleted statues.

Ancient Alien theorists believe that ancient aliens may have had a role in the creation of the Moai. There are a couple of different theories of how these extraterrestrials came across Easter Island and why they built the Moai. Some believe that aliens came down to Easter Island to demonstrate or teach the colonizers how to carve and erect the structures. Then after the aliens left, the people tried to replicate what they had been taught, but failed to complete the statues. This explains why many are unfinished or pulled upright.

It is another ancient alien theory that a  spacecraft crashed on Easter Island and the aliens created these statues with their advanced tools or lasers and then scattered them  all over the island. However, they left before erecting some of the Moai because they had been rescued by another alien spacecraft.  This explains why some of the Moai are left fallen.

Aside from the many theories, there has been quite a bit of scientific research and investigation regarding Easter Island’s Moai and it has been widely understood that  Polynesians built the island’s statues by carving them in the local volcanic rock. An article entitled “Engineers of Easter Island,” published in the November/December 1999 issue of Archaeology, describes the Polynesians as great transporters because they had to construct and move their boats from island to island. It is believed that these Polynsians used the same perfected  techniques to build and maneuver the massive Moai structures as well.

Like some other archaeological mysteries, Easter Island’s Moai statues seem to have a plausible  historical and scientific  explanation, but  for many ancient alien theorists, there still seems to be missing pieces of evidence as to how and why these massive monuments were created. We will let you decide for yourselves as “proof” is yet to be seen.

The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient designs etched into a plateau in the Nazca Desert of Peru.  The etchings extend about 50 miles, with some individual drawings measuring more than 600 feet across. Some of the drawings are of animals, birds and human beings, while others are simple lines and geometric shapes. The Nazca Lines of Peru, along with the Nazca people and culture have been studied by Archaeologists, ethnologists and anthropologists for years. These professional researchers are not clear as to how these enormous drawings were created or what the purpose of the lines, geometric shapes, and figures seems to have been.

Nazca Lines Peru

Research confirms that the lines were created by the Nazca people of the Nazca desert, who lived between 300 B.C. and 800 A.D., which was not a time known to be knowledgeable in aviation.  Many of these  humongous glyphs need to be viewed from above in order to really view the images in their entirety. This suggests that the beings responsible for these ancient lines may have had knowledge or access to air crafts.

One theory of the Nazca Lines has been presented by Erich von Däniken, author of Chariot of the Gods. It is presented in the book that the Nazca Lines were created by the people who lived there in order to be seen by their Gods and to provide an airfield of runways to guide ancient alien space craftsas they come in for landing. Since this theory was published, many people have supported the idea because of the similarities between this supposed ancient airfield and one of  modern day.

The Interest of South America and Ancient Aliens:

Nazca Lines

It is theorized that ancient aliens were gravely interested in planet Earth’s  minerals for the benefit of their own homeland’s atmosphere. Ancient alien supporters believe that extraterrestrials were looking more specifically for gold. South American countries, such as Peru have been known for being rich in such minerals. It is unknown if extraterrestrials had the ability to detect a highly enriched geographic area before landing, however if these ancient astronauts were seeking a location to research planet Earth’s resources, South America would be a prime venue. Further evidence of ancient aliens in the Peruvian desert has also been found. Archaeologists have discovered perfectly modeled ancient plane artifacts of the Peruvian Inca people, suggesting that they had knowledge of such existing flying crafts in their area.

Vimanas are ancient “mythical” aircraft, which were written about in the Vedas texts or scriptures in India between 500B.C. and 1,000 B.C. The Vedas texts constitute the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature. These ancient Sanskrit texts contained very detailed descriptions of  ancient flying machines. They described their physical appearance, how they were powered, and even what weapons they carried.

The Vedas described the Vimanas as technologically advanced airplanes that flew in the skies, into space and to other planets. They explained that these crafts were powered by a combination of several gyroscopes, mercury, and electricity.

Vimana

There are many references in ancient Sanskrit referencing the Vimanas as battlefield space crafts that harbored many weapons used by both Gods and demons. In the Sanskrit Samarangana Sutradhara, which means “controller of the battlefield”, it is written:

“Strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside one must put the mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mercury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky. The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of the machines human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to earth.”

This excerpt describing the operational aspects of the Vimanas seems to ancient alien theorists to be ahead of the times for such an ancient era. According to some, these space craft observers had access to a highly advanced way of thinking about technology.

Vimana Drawing from Vedas Text

Aviation experts who have studied the Vedas records have declared that Vimanas have many similarities to modern aircraft, specifically jet engines. Also, there are striking similarities between descriptions of vimanas and UFO’s reported by people who have claimed to have encountered them in modern days.

While mainstream historians believes that the Vedas descriptions of Vimanas are basically early mythical science fiction stories of ancient India, ancient alien theorists feel quite strongly that these flying machines were in fact real technologically advanced chariots for the Gods of those living in India thousands of years ago. There is no current physical evidence that these Vimanas actually existed, but the detailed and scientifically-based descriptions of these flying machines have many people convinced that they were indeed flown by humans and possibly extraterrestrial beings or Gods.

If we know where we come from, we’ll know where we’re going.

Ancient Aliens:
The Anunnaki people were a group of Sumerian Gods meaning, “those of royal blood” or “those who come from the sky”. Zecharia Sitchen, an archiaologist who exposed and translated thousands of ancient Sumerian clay tablets in The Earth Chronicles series, discovered that the Anunnaki people were a god-like race who came from their home planet, Nibiru.

The tablets translated the history of the Anunnaki people as “giant android type extraterrestrial beings”. These “gods” arrived on Earth about 450,000 years ago when life on earth began. They set up amazing colonies for millions of  beings to mine for natural resources (mainly gold) for their home planet’s atmosphere. Their home planet was Nibiru, which Zecharia Sitchen discovered is the same planet we now call “planet x,” the tenth planet in our solar system.

Anunnaki Ancient Alien

Also, these translated Sumerian clay tablets revealed that the Anunnaki had  ”helpers” that used to fly their spacecrafts and do other tasks, suggesting that these ancient aliens were capable of creating advanced technology. Some ancient alien theorists believe that these Anunnaki created early human beings on earth as a slave race in order to mine for their resources, mainly gold. Some believe that Anunnaki beings are still among us on planet earth.

Influence of the Sumerian culture:
The mystery of the sudden emergence of the Sumerian culture with amazing technology, buildings, and factories as well as the use of agriculture, irrigation, and civil code, have ancient alien proponents convinced that these extraterrestrial beings were a major part of the development.

Anunnaki Ancient Aliens Possibly Referenced in the Bible?
Genesis chapter 6 verse 4 which reads; “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they; bare children unto them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Anunnaki Clay Drawing

This is very recent video footage captured by a CNN news helicopter in the Phoenix area of Arizona on July 5th, 2011. It shows two unidentified flying objects appear, glowing consistently and floating pretty still for a few moments and then begin to accelerate quite rapidly. One of them accelerates directly up and as you can see it leave the top of the screen, its saucer shape is apparent. We are quite certain that flying straight up in the sky is not a characteristic of a conventional air craft.

Is this a UFO, or is this an airplane? We will let you decide for yourself.

What are Aliens
If we know where we come from, we’ll know where we’re going.

Are we alone? Are present and past humans influenced by life beyond our planet? Do we have proof of aliens on our earth from ancient times? What are aliens? These are questions most humans have had for centuries.

Over the last few decades, we have awakened the interest and awareness of ancient aliens with the increasing amount of research and popular culture. Researchers, scientists, and UFO enthusiasts are investigating the incredible amount of evidence of the ancient alien phenomenon traced back to many documented time eras in history. It is starting to become increasingly clear to most people that we have never been alone in this world.

Ancient Aliens or ancient astronauts are terms used to describe the extraterrestrial beingsthat have visited our planet hundreds or thousands of years ago. They are believed to have influenced and assisted the development of historical civilazations, technology, religion, and ancient structures. Some of these civilizations include Egyptians, Mayans, Aztecs and Hopi Indians.

Ancient Alien Artifact

It is evident that there was assistance by extraterrestrial beings in amazing ancient sites around the world such as the Egyptian pyramids, Moai stone heads of Easter Island, and Nazca Lines. The History Channel’s popular show, Ancient Alienshas featured ancient cilvilization researchers discussing the impossible task of human beings building such structures on their own. Evidence shows that such structures as well as archaeological artifiacts are beyond technical capabilities of the historical cultures. Artwork and legends from ancient civilizations are another indicator of extraterrestrial contact and technologies.

Other more classified type research and documentation suggests that ancient aliens have had influence over more recent societies, such as Hitler’s Third Reich or the Illuminati (secret societies).

The theory of ancient aliens or ancient astronauts was introduced to popular culture in the late 1960s through writings and books such as Chariots of the Gods, by Erich von Däniken and has gained even more popularity with the television series, Ancient Aliens. However, the phenomonon has yet to be investigated by the scholarly population despite the amazing world-wide evidence.

Egyptian Pyramid and Sphinx

Whether society believes that the ancient alien theory is science fiction or actually scientifically based phenomenon, it should be continuously researched for the sake of revealing the truth of our origins as a human race. We, at What Are Aliens, believe in the philosiphy that if we know where we come from, we’ll know where we’re going.

The Sighting
On January 5, 2000 at 4:00am, a large UFO was sighted by a southern Illinois resident as well as four Metro East-area police officers. Melvern Noll, a resident of Highland in southern Illinois was on his locally- owned miniature golf course when he noticed a slow moving, silent air craft hovering above him about 1,000 feet high.  He reported that it had at least two rows of windows and red lights and its underside was a dark metallic color.

After viewing the object, Melvrin Noll then drove to the Highland police station and asked the dispatcher to call the Lebanon police because the object was moving that direction.

Four Metro East-area police officers from different departments also saw the object as it flew above Lebanon, Shiloh, Dupo and Millstadt that night. Two of the police officers who saw the object contacted the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle the morning they spotted it. One officer described it as a floating two-story house with white lights and red blinking lights. 

General Description of UFO Sighting:

• Large, arrowhead or triangle shape
• Many windows
• Red and white lights
• Slow moving, but one officer saw it accelerate rapidly
• low altitude- 500-1000 feet high

The Investigation:
The National Institute for Discovery Science, a Las Vegas research institute, sent John Velier who is a former FBI agent to investigate the sighting. The institute, founded in 1995, has about a dozen former law enforcement officers and scientists investigating sightings professionally. They use scientific investigative methods looking for facts in the evidence collecting process.

The institute sent their team to investigate the sightings because of the credibility of the witnesses, being that they were nearly all police officers.  They interviewed the police officers and the miniature golf owner, Melvern Noll. Velier also interviewed officials at Scott Air Force Base.  The air force base air traffic control tower was unfortunately shut down at the time of the sightings so they did not have any knowledge of the occurrence.

Reconstruction of Noll Witnessing UFO Over Illinois

Theories:
By the end of January, Velier had come up with two theories for the sightings but both have flaws.

The first theory assumes the witnessing of a B-2 Spirit bomber. The general outline of the B-2 somewhat fits the witnesses’ description. It has a arrowhead or triangular shape as reported. It also has 172 feet in wingspan which is about the same size as what the reports indicated. The speed of a B-2 varies greatly, but it is possible to fly very slowly. Also, the B-2 has three lights that are retracted when the plane is put into stealth mode. The flaw in this theory is that Whiteman Air Force Base is the only B-2 base in the country and research  indicates that no B-2s were flying at the time of the sightings.

The second theory is the Aereon hypothesis, which compares the description of the UFO sightings to a “stealth blimp” flown and patented by the Aeron Corp. of Princeton, N.J. in 1970.  The “stealth blimp” is a hybrid of a conventional airplane and a lighter-than-air dirigible. That prototype was 26 feet long.

The Aereon craft could fit the some of the descriptions of the UFO: its low altitude, configuration, and lack of noise. However, one of the witnesses, officer Barton, reported that the UFO accelerated rapidly which would be impossible for the blimp. Also, Aereon spokesperson, when questioned by the National Institute of discovery Science, stated that “no craft of such size was ever built, at least at Aereon… If a large Aereon-type craft is flying, then it represents a stolen patent by persons unknown.”

National UFO Reporting Center stated that the descriptions of the UFO don’t fit conventional aircraft. The lighting is not consistent with U.S. regulations, and the flight pattern characteristics could not have been achieved with an airplane. The center also dismisses the idea that the aircraft could have been a stealth blimp according to the many lights on the UFO, as the equipment to generate such lights would be too heavy for a blimp.
