Ancient Aliens

I have spent a good portion of my day today watching ancient aliens from the history channel instead of writing but I guess its for a good cause because eventually I would like to write a fictional book on the subject. I have learned lots of interesting theories and renewed a passion that I have had since I was a young child about learning as much as I can about the mysteries of ancient aliens that have visited earth in the past. I don't buy into all of the theories but I do believe that skepticism clouds a lot of the field of study to the point of stunting it. Sometimes it pays to think outside of the box and a great deal of knowledge can be learned from it. When I was young I lived with the biggest skeptic in the world, my step dad. He at one point threw things at me and kicked me out of the house and would not allow me to return until I admitted that aliens did not exist and that humans were the only life in the universe. I didn't cave in but snuck back into the house. What was he going to do keep me out forever? I would just hail a ride from a passing UFO and kick this planet by the wayside. I am a believer, not in hillbillies from Kansas being butt fucked by some horny green guys with some sex toy but I do believe that humanity is on a fast pace and ancient civilizations knew way more than we give them credit for. I believe that we may have been visited in the past and there is phenomena that exists that human kind just isn't able to understand because of egotism, politics and living in a giant bubble of protection because we are too afraid to take the next step. Look at NASA at the moment. There are people in the private sector of space travel ready to take the next step to mars with a one way mission and NASA is trying to hold us back. As is the president but I will leave all of that for another rant. There are tons of people who have already volunteered to help set up the first human colony on mars and eventually there would be two way missions. We need to be brave and bold as humans and be willing to explore. How are we ever going to be part of star fleet if we can't even get to mars :) ? I have seen a UFO before and I have seen some strange phenomena. It scares the crap out of me but I will fight for my beliefs in the face of skepticism. Once those skeptics can put aside their ego's and really sit down and have a logical debate maybe I will listen to them. For now all skeptics will be shut out by my ears and the history channel will entertain me for years to come.
