Review of Ancient Aliens S13E03 "The Alien Protocols"

5/11/2018

35 Comments

Picture
In 1968, the NSA commissioned a brief monograph in which popular reports of ancient astronauts and UFOs from newspapers, books, magazines, and Soviet propaganda were used to explore implications for how UFO contact might impact human survival. The author was optimistic: “Perhaps the UFO question might even make man undertake studies which could enable him to construct a society which is most conducive to developing a completely human being, healthy in all respects of mind and body – and, most important, able to recognize and adapt to real environmental situations.” It’s funny to contrast that optimism with the darkness of so much of ufology, particularly the invasion narratives. Tonight, Ancient Aliens asks a question I don’t really care much about: Does the U.S. government have plans for what to do should aliens arrive? 
​Segment 1
As most readers know, the question of modern UFO sightings and supposed alien encounters doesn’t interest me very much, so this was a bit of a slog for me. We open on October 19, 2017 on Maui, with the discovery of a long, unusually shaped space object hurtling through the solar system. Although it is a natural asteroid, albeit from another star system, there was speculation at the time that it might have been an ancient UFO or purposely sent by space aliens. More interesting is the fact that the astronomer in charge of the Hawaiian observatory that discovered the object agreed to appear on Ancient Aliens and humiliate her profession by associating genuine science with groundless fantasy. I imagine that she thinks she is popularizing science, and that is certainly the reason that Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute appears on this show yet again, even though he testified to Congress that he believes Ancient Aliens is a pack of lies. The show compares the cigar-shaped UFO to a famous woodcut of the so-called “Nuremberg UFO fight,” which is not a depiction of UFOs in battle but an exaggerated drawing of sun dogs made by an artist who wasn’t there.
 
Giorgio Tsoukalos says that the speculation about the asteroid’s potential artificial origins was exciting because it was the first time astronomers embraced “our” idea of ancient astronauts. This certainly isn’t true—Percival Lowell’s Mars claims come to mind. This leads into a discussion of the famous SETI protocols explaining how astronomers should handle what to do if they uncovered an alien signal. According to the talking heads, there is no publicly available plan for what governments would do in the event of alien contact, but they suspect that the plans exist in secret. It might be true, but it would be less consequential than the secret plans for other remote contingencies, such as a nuclear attack on the Capitol during the State of the Union address, that governments plan for but don’t ever expect to actually happen. The hypothetical existence of plan implies nothing about the reality of space aliens.
​Segment 2
The second segment revisits the Pentagon’s UFO investigation program that ran from 2007 to 2012, a subject we just saw two weeks ago in the two-hour season premiere, which focused entirely on the subject. Repeating the material so quickly speaks to the poverty of Ancient Aliens, which is less a set of episodes at this point than a collection of segments spliced together into hour-long collections. The show delivers a number of paranoid conspiracies about what they imagine the U.S. military knows about UFOs or how they interact with UFOs, with speculation about how soldiers might battle space aliens. I couldn’t help but flash back to Starship Troopers and imagine hordes of fascist youths battling Lovecraftian bug-like monsters. Then the show discusses whether there are secret diplomatic protocols for meeting friendly aliens, and this in turn reminded me of The Twilight Zone and Mars Attacks.
 
After this, the show relates how Pope Francis once said that if space aliens were real, he would welcome them into the Catholic Church. While this was meant as a statement of Catholic universalism—the word “catholic” literally means universal—the talking heads speculate that this was instead part of a concerted effort to normalize space aliens ahead of disclosure.
 
The narrator informs us that religious leaders know about space aliens because angels and demons from sacred texts were space aliens and therefore leaders are already aware of ancient encounters. This is not entirely what is going on; Catholic speculation about space aliens and alien worlds has a long history, and the Church was not always associated with anti-scientific repression. The segment ends with an odd claim that the “Messiah” returning in the future was based on space aliens coming and going in the past and promising to return. The only similarity seems to be the idea of returning, but since the aliens’ “return” is a modern adaptation of the old story, the show basically committed itself to circular reasoning, or, less charitably, a circle of sexual self-pleasure. 
​Segment 3
The third segment covers panspermia—the idea that Earth life arrived from another planet in the form of organic material hitching a ride on space rocks—and discusses claims from Milton Wainwright about alien microbes in the upper atmosphere. I covered this in 2015, when the claim first achieved public notice, and again in 2017 when Robert Bauval wrote about it in his book on panspermia. Josh Gates also covered it in his Expedition Unknown miniseries about extraterrestrials. Ancient Aliens itself discussed panspermia on at least four previous episodes, including one at the end of last season. Wainwright has made several unusual and generally unsupported claims for alien material on Earth, and he is a conspiracy theorist who believes that all world scientists have conspired to hide the fact that Darwin did not invent evolutionary theory. The segment ends with a discussion of protocols in place to stop spacecraft from contaminating Earth with any microbes from space. 
​Segment 4
The fourth segment goes back to Sputnik and explains the creation of NASA in response to Soviet space exploration. It covers the familiar story of the so-called Brookings Report commissioned by NASA in 1960 to explore the question of what would happen if extraterrestrial life was ever encountered.  The report speculated that evidence of ancient aliens might be found on the Moon or Mars, and it counseled a controlled release of factual information to avoid creating panic. The show cites the myth that Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds broadcast set off a nationwide panic—the myth was created by newspapers to attack radio—as proof that people will panic in the face of aliens. John Podesta, the former Clinton chief of staff, pops up again to say that he thinks that Americans could handle the truth. Given that this seems not to apply to any other action of government, where lying is endemic, this seems more like an applause line than a policy.
 
After this, the segment describes the famous golden records shot into space on the probe Voyager in 1977 on the off chance that space aliens might find it so they could learn about the Earth. The records contained sounds and images of human beings and the Earth, along with directions to Earth. The narrator speculates that the government knew aliens existed from “previous” encounters and therefore chose to communicate with them, but this would actually make the records irrelevant since, if they had been to Earth, the aliens had no need for them.
​Segment 5
The fifth segment revisits the Brookings Report a second time, and then relates them to the fake MJ-12 documents. Linda Moulton Howe believes, falsely, that Truman ordered an investigation into the Roswell crash and formed the MJ-12 group to develop protocols for dealing with aliens. As you will recall, MJ-12 material appeared in the season premiere, as it did in a dedicated MJ-12 episode last year, and it is still as fake a hoax as any. The U.S. government declared them fake. Scholars declared them fake. Even many ufologists agree they are fake. Ancient Aliens doesn’t even acknowledge that their authenticity is questionable. After this, the show revisits old, old UFO encounters from the 1960s, but with added fake material from hoax government documents that have circulated online about how these early encounters were really diplomatic missions from space ambassadors with faulty GPS. I wish I were making that up, but the documents state that the aliens “got the coordinates wrong” for their diplomatic mission. I am trying to imagine space aliens hunched over a chart of the Earth with a compass and a pencil plotting out a round trip journey to MJ-12 headquarters and back. Funny how aliens can make it all the way from other stars but once they get here, they can’t find their way around and crash into every field and stream in the country.
​Segment 6
The final segment discusses the UN Office of Outer Space Affairs’ efforts to draft protocols for how to handle encounters with space aliens. The story faded away after a few days when the UN declined to discuss the matter further. David Childress sees this as a conspiracy and asserts that we humans are already in contact with space aliens and have exchanged ambassadors with them. Tsoukalos says that Native Americans (all of them, apparently) believe in thirteen inhabited planets (as a general rule, they do not), of which we are the “planet of children” (we are not—I have no idea where he got this from), and that therefore we would be compatible with space aliens since we are genetically related to them. The show ends by reminding us that someday we will be the aliens visiting another world and setting up an embassy there.

I think if Aliens did come to Earth and land anywhere in the United States and ask the basic question "Take me to your leader", we would all have to sadly answer "We don't have one."

There's so much nonsense called out in this article that it's difficult to know where to start but I'll start here: "Tsoukalos says that Native Americans (all of them, apparently) believe in..."

This seems to be the fringe/hippie/dareisayitwolter belief, that all Injuns believe the same thing. My personal belief, based on reading which I do not call research is that the Siberians who fathered the First Invaders had a Male Sky God belief. Sky not as in "Heaven" but as in Sky and Earth.

"After this, the show relates how Pope Francis once said that if space aliens were real, he would welcome them into the Catholic Church." Yeah sure, as long as they're into anal probing, the more the merrier. Sorry, but every Pope (or as I like to call him "Papi") in my lifetime has presided over a rape farm.

"The segment ends with an odd claim that the “Messiah” returning in the future was based on space aliens coming and going in the past and promising to return." That has Cargo Cult written all over it, except the Cargo Cult involved stuff that actually happened, e.g. real planes.

Some rather minimal, easy Googling suggests which incident the 'gun camera' reference is to. That same Googling also tells us that the chain of possession of that footage isn't even clear. That's kind of a big deal with this kind of thing when there's so much out there that later proves to be faked or, just as bad, misleading when taken out of context.

Link 1: https://www.npr.org/2017/12/19/571868263/secret-program-at-the-pentagon-spent-million-to-study-ufos

Link 2: https://www.wired.com/story/what-is-up-with-those-pentagon-ufo-videos/

(Note the Blink 182 guy showing up in the second link. Whenever he shows up it's a good idea to be alarmed.)

I once saw a talk on UFOs by a physicist, who frankly was a little less skeptical than I'd have liked. I think this footage was one of his examples in the presentation.

Despite his seeming lack of skepticism, he did something very useful which was to determine just how fast some of this stuff seemed to fly if you took the observations at a given. They got formulas for that. He decided to be a good scientist and apply the formulas.

The result was speeds that were SOOO fast that they were consistent with 2 things.

1 - Interstellar craft might have to fly at these nutso speeds to get anyplace within any reasonable length of time.

2 - And......These speeds also would result in any living being on board the craft being smashed into a stain on the wall in short order.

I note that to get around point 2, you'd need to assume an awful lot of things about the technology the 'aliens' have. Way more than is reasonable or that we have any suggestion of.

Between all that and the fact that the chain of possession of the footage is not clear, I argue that the best conclusion is to doubt the observation.

I didn't mention it because I can't possibly record every single thing they say--there are lot of things I leave out--and because the same material was covered in S13E01. Given that UFO sightings aren't my specialty, I had nothing to add to previous discussions of the same footage.

Whatever happened to the "ancient" part of the show's premise? This episode is discussing events that happened at most around 60 years ago, sometimes less than a decade ago.

I think the logic is this: if aliens are visiting now, that proves they were here thousands of years ago, manipulated our evolution, slept with human women, directed our civilization, and showed us how to build things out of big stones.

Which shows they don't understand basic logic, since even if an alien ship landed in the White House lawn today, it would prove nothing about aliens in the past.

actually, proving aliens were here in the past DOES NOT PRROVE A DAMN THING about the rest of that, sex, shaping evolution or whatever. I figure they taught us some electrical stuff and we taught them megalithic architecture.

meanwhile, the whole antiquity and millions of years old stuff is gate keeper games (or at least on the part of whoever started it, other foolish talking heads of this sort m ay believe it now). I think the alien bases in asteroids, structures on Mars, and so forth are CURRENT.

Must be that speed of light, time thing. When the aliens travel to Earth at beyond the speed of light they have traveled through thousands of real time years, thus making them ancient.

Did we ever get a satisfactory answer on why there would still be balls full of alien genetic material up in the sky? Are the aliens still seeding the earth, somehow unaware that life has already taken? Or was their initial emission so copious that, three billion years after the fact, it's still raining from the sky by the fistful?

Just trying to prove aliens exist is so yesterday. Open minded people already believe this. I wish Ancient Aliens would more discuss from where aliens come, what they look like, what is their agenda, what factions are there. Lyssa Royal, Dolores Cannon and some of Neal Donald Walsch’s books would be recommended reading.

They run about three feet tall, have big heads, bug eyes, antennae, green skin, and names like Filtar and Steeb. They fly around in saucers and carry rayguns. They come from the planet Telstar. They only have one state, but they have enough political parties to require a coalition government. The three biggest parties are the Overlordist Party, the Interstellar Conquest Party, and the Tories. Their agenda is:
March 21: Arrive at LAX.
March 22-25: Disneyland, Universal Studios, Santa Monica Beach, La Brea Tar Pits, Narek Market.
March 26-27: Las Vegas.
March 28: Destroy the world.

Firstly, they covered all these issues in previous episodes.

Secondly, while there's a near-certainty that there is alien life somewhere in the universe, we haven't seen specific traces of it yet -- everything that looks like such traces (including but not limited to the possibility of a Dyson Sphere and "ordinary" UFOs) can be explained more-easily with reference to other things. Open-mindedness isn't the issue, unless by "open-minded" you mean of the "brain falls out" variety.

Thirdly, the same near-certainty of alien life existing somewhere also precludes it having found us yet, for the same reason we haven't found them.

Fourthly and finally, and with the supposed topic of the show: Everything Ancient Aliens has shown us can be explained, and better, with reference to mere Earthlings, and our leadership, ingenuity, creativity, depravity, and desperation.

People say you can't prove a negative but I don't think that's quite true. If I can show an explanation that fits the facts just as well or better, and that requires making fewer or more rational assumptions, then, I argue, I've in effect disproved other explanations. Especially Ancient Aliens type explanations.

This blog is one of many vehicles that've done just that with regard to ancient astronauts, hyper-diffusionism, and so forth.
