What Information do we have and for what are we looking?

It has been suggested by some enlightened researchers that various legends and myths of angelic or demonic visitations are actually recordings of extraterrestrial encounters. After all, even in the doctrines of religious thought these entities did not originate on the Earth, {Terra}, thus they are truly extra, (as in not from), terrestrial. Thus by the most literal definition of the word, angels and demons are extraterrestrials. Conversely, this does not mean that all extraterrestrials are either angels or demons. However, if we begin with this data we can undertake to find patterns, which seem to coincide with some “modern” reports of extraterrestrial encounters.

How Far Back Does It Reach?

Some sources indicate that the entities, known by some as the Grays, called by others as the Zeta Reticulans, may have been meddling with humankind for over 12,000 years. If this is so, then their hidden influences permeate all of our cultural and historical perspectives, without our knowledge. In that time, these beings have become thoroughly entrenched, in the shadows, holed up in both underground and hidden undersea lairs. Throughout the time of their tampering, human cultural development has gone through several changes. Our political, religious, scientific, technological and philosophic perspectives have endured a plethora of transformations, some of which may have occurred at the behest of their secret behind the scenes influences. It is inevitable that our perceptions of any encounters with these beings, should likewise take on almost as many different forms as these changes in perspective. It is with that concept in mind, that we examine ancient accounts, which could be seen as possible extraterrestrial encounter case histories.

Where Do We Begin?

Our first look into antiquity, will be in one of the world’s best sources of legendary material about angels. This would be, of course, the Holy Bible. The following is a list of several examples of angelic encounters, which may have actually been interactions with extraterrestrials. While this list is long, it is not exhaustive. Further study will reveal more hints found in this same source:

• Genesis chapter 6 : verses 1 – 4 (Nephilim reference)
• Genesis chapter 11 : verses 5 – 9
• Exodus chapter 13 : verses 21 – 22
• Exodus chapter 14 : verses 19 – 31
• Exodus chapter 24 : verses 13 – 18
• Exodus chapter 40 : verses 34 – 38
• Deuteronomy chapter 34 : verses 1 – 12
• Joshua chapter 1 : verses 1 – 9
• Matthew chapter 1 : verses 11 – 25
• Matthew chapter 2 : verses 13 – 14
• Matthew chapter 2 : verses 19 – 21
• Matthew chapter 4 : verses 1 – 11
• Matthew chapter 17 : verses 1 – 9
• Matthew chapter 28 : verses 1 – 8

• John chapter 20 : verses 11 – 18

From various obscure sources we find

To show how pervasive the themes are of abduction, and/or cross breading with these beings, let us look at a veritable potpourri of mythic stories through out history.

1. In his writings St. Augustine was known to have expressed the belief that witches were the offspring of the union between humans and fallen angels.

2. In 1484 Pope Innocent VIII released his “Bull of 1484”. Here read an excerpt from this papal bull . . . “It has come to Our ears that members of both sexes do not avoid to have intercourse with evil angels, incubi, and succubi, and that by their sorceries, and by their incantations, charms, and conjuration, they suffocate, extinguish, and cause to perish the births of women, . . .”

3. The inquisitors “witch hunt” which followed this papal declaration brought about the interrogation, torture and execution of many innocent abductees, whose only “sin” was to be chosen. A factor over which they had absolutely no control! Two of Pope Innocent VIII’s inquisitors at the time are quoted as having said, referring to the beings they called Devils, “ . . . busy themselves by interfering with the process of normal copulation and conception, by obtaining human semen, and themselves transferring it.”

Compared to “modern” abduction scenarios, these practices appear quite consistent.

4. From another “inquisitors” style case in England, we can find in the records of the witch trial of Ann Jeffries in 1645, a classic variation of the “modern” abduction scenario. During her trial this Cornish woman described to the court her experiences of being abducted. She explained this encounter as an attack by fairies from a castle in the sky. She claimed these little men carried her, paralyzed, to their sky castle, where they seduced her.

5. In The World Guide To Gnomes, Fairies, Elves and Other Little People by Thomas Keightley we find many stories which have elements similar to modern abduction scenarios. One of these stories came in the from of a written testimony by one Pet. Rahm. The following quote, known as The Troll – Labor, is that testimony in it’s entirety: “In the year 1660, when I and my wife had gone to my farm (fäboderne), which is three quarters of a mile from Ragunda parsonage, and we were sitting there and talking a while, late in the evening, there came a little man in at the door, who begged of my wife to go and aid his wife, who was just then in the pains of labor. The fellow was of small size, of a dark complexion, and dressed in old gray clothes.

My wife and I sat a while, and wondered at the man; for we were aware that he was a Troll, and we had heard tell that such like, called by the peasantry Vettar (spirits), always used to keep in the farm houses, when people left them in harvest time. But when he had urged his request four or five times, and we thought on what the country folks say that they have at times suffered from the Vettar, when they have to chanced to swear at them, or with unevil words bid them go to hell, I took the resolution to read some prayers over my wife, and to bless her, and bid her in God’s name go with him. She took in haste some old linen with her, and went along with him, and I remained sitting there.

When she returned, she told me, that when she went with the man out at the gate, it seemed to her as if she was carried for a time along in the wind, and so she came to a room, on one side of which was a little dark chamber, in which his wife lay in bed in great agony. My wife went up to her, and, after a little while, aided her till she brought forth the child after the same manor as other human beings. The man then offered her food, and when she refused it, he thanked her, and accompanied her out, and then she was carried along, in the same way in the wind, and after a while came again to the gate, just at ten o’clock. Meanwhile, a quantity of old pieces and clippings of silver were laid on a shelf in the sitting-room, and my wife found them next day, when she was putting the room in order. It is to be supposed that they were laid there by the Vettar. That it in truth so happened, I witnessed, by inscribing my name. Ragunda, the 12th of April 1671. Pet. Rahm.”

A strange testimonial to be sure, but of interest the points in common with modern abduction phenomena are noteworthy. Being carried for a time in the wind, presumably upward, the fact that the visitation occurred nocturnally, and the concern with reproduction.

Reproductive connections

With so many of these legends, myths and stories, both ancient and modern we find the reproductive connections. Many modern researchers theorize these extraterrestrials are experimenting with our genetic codes, and are even engaged in yielding beings with genetic characteristics from their own genome combined with ours in order to produce hybridized races. Could it be that in the past, these same hybrids were thought of as demonic offspring, Nephilim, witches, incubi, succubi, changelings, trolls, etc.? Some Ufologists, like John Lear, Zecharia Sitchin, and Egyptologist Dr. Ezekiel Zamar suggest that the interactions go back even further, and that extraterrestrials, now no longer on the scene, “up-lifted” humanity, or elevated our evolution from earlier non-sentient forms into our first sentient ancestors.

Dr. Ezekiel Zamar reveals his theories

Dr. Zamar states, “The Earth has been visited many times by myriad races. Millions of years ago, our most primitive ape like progenitors were up-lifted by a race we at the Zamarite Institute call the “Prymosians”. These Prymosians discovered our proto homo-erectus predecessors, and commenced a process of speeding up their evolution. They up-lifted our ancestors into sentient forms, and spread them to the stars, relocating other branches of humanity further adapted to the environments of planets in star systems both distant and near our own. After working with their human “children” for hundreds of thousands of years, these Prymosians left us to our own devices many thousands of years ago. It seems other aliens have since come into the picture, known in some circles as the “Grays”, who now engage in their own genetic projects, further tampering with human evolution. Their motivations look to not be quite as benevolent as the Prymosians.”

Unlike Ufologist John Lear, Ezekiel Zamar does not suggest this up-lift creation of humanity precludes the existence of God. Rather he says these Prymosians saw themselves as servants of God, accelerating the natural processes in order to insure greater survival of sentient species throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. So in a sense, Zamar’s Prymosians fill the niche of angels, guardians of life from star system to star system.

Zecharia Sitchin’s take

Zecharia Sitchin’s take on these up-lifters, he calls the Anunnaki, is a bit more cynical, presenting them as imitators of “gods”, whose motivation for creating humanity were of a more selfish nature. According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki needed servants to help them with mining gold, and therefore designed humanity for that purpose. Thus by Zecharia Sitchin’s reckoning, we were genetically up-lifted to be gold mining slaves.

Examined collectively the evidence can be compelling

Regardless if ones ancient source is Sumerian, Persian, Egyptian, or Israelite all of these were recorded considerably later than the events they have mythologized. Bearing that in mind, it may be much more challenging than these researchers suggest to genuinely comprehend the actual motivations behind the actions of these theoretical extraterrestrial up-lifters. If indeed our ancient ancestors were genetically altered by beings from elsewhere in the universe, the knowledge of why they did so may well be lost to time for us, today. While much may be uncertain, we can be sure of one thing, in spite of a strongly skeptical main line, there is an increasing number of those who do believe the Earth has been visited by extraterrestrial beings. The evidence of these visitation may be slight, and subject to debate, but when examined collectively and with an opened mind it can be quite compelling.
