THINGS THAT MIGHT CONVINCE YOU THAT LIFE OUTSIDE OUR PLANET EXISTS

AFRICAN CAVE PAINTING

An African cave painting depicts a being wearing headgear with

antennae and flying through the air. The being has large black,

slanted eyes, thin lips, and is holding an animal in its arms.

MEDIEVAL TAPESTRY

In the foreground of a medieval tapestry in the Collégiale Notre-Dame,

in Beaune, France, is a depiction of the Virgin Mary but in the background

is a clear rendition of a flying ship. Was this an artist’s witness to something 

really weird while painting the Virgin Mary?

THE 1561 UFO INCIDENT OVER NUREMBERG

An old woodcut created by Hans Glaser in 1566 clearly depicts a battle

between flying disks and cylinders that occurred over Nuremberg,

Germany, on April 4, 1561 in what is believed to be the first mass

sighting of celestial phenomena and unidentified flying objects

in history.

JUPITER’S MOON EUROPA

According to scientists, the quantity of water contained beneath

Europa’s icy crust, which is shielded from harmful radiation, is one of

the solar system’s best chances for finding alien life and a good indicator

that some might already exist.

THE ROSWELL INCIDENT

According to many theories, in 1947, an alien spacecraft, with its crew

aboard, crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Ever since then, Roswell

has been called the world’s most famous, most exhaustively investigated

and most controversial UFO claim in history.

THE GREAT LOS ANGELES AIR RAID

This incident occurred less than three months after the United States

entered World War II, on February 24, 1942, and that’s why initially

the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from

Japan. But the main reason why it was later believed to be a UFO was the

fact that even though the unidentified object was hit multiple times by

antiaircraft fire, it appeared to be undamaged and soon disappeared into

the night, never to be seen again.

ANCIENT SIGNS

The Egyptian hieroglyphics found in the Temple of Seti I at Abydos

have been interpreted as featuring out-of-place artefacts that depict a

helicopter as well as other examples of modern day technology. Some

argue that this is evidence of aliens in ancient times. However, there is a

strong argument that states these hieroglyphs to be the result of

Ramessess II’s attempt to steal credit for the built temple (and thus

inscribing his name on top of Ramassess I’s name).

DRAKE EQUATION

The Drake equation is a probabilistic argument used to estimate the

number of active, communicative extra-terrestrial civilizations in the

Milky Way galaxy. It was first presented by Frank Drake in 1961 and

identifies specific factors thought to play a role in the development

of such civilizations.
