From the 15,000 year old cave paintings in Tasilli, from the oldest of Sumner, Egypt, through European art, with some bad spin by the church, we have a constant record of flying objects, and contact stories.
Ishtar who came to earth in an egg, and taught us to breed animals, not just kill them. Now Easter with a chocolate egg laying rabbit.
There is a Sumarian story of a teacher who came on land in the day, and spent their nights in the sea, they taught. They got killed.
Long before we even had hot air baloons, there are stories of flying cities.
We were not very good students, for we have a lot of history, and only since the Industrial Revolution, 150 years, has progress been a constant. Most of it was us, but Tesla was Before the Wright Brothers.
A mear 40 years later fighter jets in Germany, and the bomb. Since then electronics and control systems, I think we did most of it, but some of it is just because we saw things we could not do.
The Foo fighters of WWII, discribe a flying disk, very fast, that could climb at speed that measured from the background by good pilots, were thousands of miles an hour.
White Sands testing ground was a UFO hotspot during the tests, and Roswell is near.
There was no secret German plane, for it could have shot down ours with ease, German pilots also reported them. Roswell, two years after the war was not enough time for a secret American program, that fifty years later is still a secret.
The curve of knowledge is now up. The doubling time of human knowledge is short, and in many fields.
So there is evidence we were observed, taught, to little effect, but when bomb time hits, it may be a marker for a technological leap. We do know enough to build a huge ship in orbit, powering it would be a problem, not much chance of going to another star with our knowledge, but someday.
We rate as a potential future danger.
We have our good points and potential, but we also turn insane killer ape, and WWII killed 50,000,000 people. It was about something, I forget what. Oh yea, the superior political and economic system, all of which have failed.
We are a product of our perceptions, and some bad math. It seems a long way to the stars, but that can change with a single idea. It might be days, we still have those bombs, and would most likely bring some, just in case.
The term, "Is a danger to themselves and others." Seems universal, and fits us. We were playing with the exotics, Atomics, now we are learning to have fun with Silica, chips and fiber optics, and Carbon fiber is more useful than C02. Much better than CO.
Most of our recent past was smoke stacks, rivers running black, some catching fire, Lead in gas, and the cleanup was recent, 1972 on.
Genetics shows what is called a mutation from 38,000 years ago, or outside DNA, strangely it dates the Human Explosion of technology, and is considered a potential cause of Autism. From old Sumnarian, later plagerised, "The sons of god looked upon the daughters of man, and found that they were fair."
This does not support Monotheism.
The gods from the machine is an old idea.
That the Great Mothers bore children fathered by the gods is an older story.
After millions of years of sticks, rocks, fire, and hardly any change, a sudden rise of technology and understanding. The birth of art, complex language, herds and crops rather than the hunt, and in only 38,000 years, us. Our time takes up only the last 1/100 of human time.
So it all points to, we are family. All records since show we have been watched.
I do see recent turning points that have turned us from blasting the planet to glowing rubble, cleaning up our litter, and working with the basic building blocks, rock, charcoal, fire.
We have only recently reached a level where we could be taught, and dangers that we should be taught.
Humans that were isolated, Australia, Borneo, were just like we were 40,000 years ago, a hundred years ago. We took a different path. Development is not normal human behavior. Their last 1/100 of time was the same as all before.
We still have lots to learn.
