From Marvin the Martian to Ben 10, aliens have been well-represented in alien cartoons. They have been depicted in many ways, from the comical to the downright scary. Alien fear and curiosity have led to interesting imaginings that delight, entertain and haunt our imaginations.

Bugs Bunny always outwitted Yosemite Sam, and thus Animation director Chuck Jones felt it necessary to create a foe that was opposite to Yosemite Sam in every way. He was soft-spoken and deliberate, with a propensity for destruction and the ability to carry it out. One of the most popular and well-known characters in alien cartoons, Marvin the Martian made his debut as Commander X-23 in the cartoon short Haredevil Hare in 1948. His outfit of a green helmet inspired by those of the Roman Centurions, a green skirt, some red tights and white sneakers was very Earthly in its design. He has been voiced by Mel Blanc, Bob Bergen, Joe Alaskey and Eric Goldberg. He has subsequently been seen in 7 more cartoon shorts, 2 movies and has made a few cameo appearances in 3 animated television series. Marvin decided that because Earth was blocking his view of Venus, it had to be destroyed. He employed a weapon which he called the Uranium PU-36, which became the Illudium PU-36 in subsequent shorts. He also carried a hand gun known as the ACME disintegrator ray. As an interesting fact, the likeness of Marvin the Martian appears on both the Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers.

Since the debut of Marvin the Martian, other cartoons have followed suit. On October 29, 1965, The Great Gazoo first appeared on The Flintstones animated series. He was a tiny, green alien who floated. A punishment for inventing a machine with huge destructive power, he was exiled from his home planet Zatox and sent to Earth. After his flying saucer crashed, Fred and Barney discovered him. His mien was one of mischief as he was always causing problems. His story arc was never resolved.

Not known as one of the alien cartoons, The Simpsons is not alien to the depiction of them. In several episodes aliens are either characters or secondary depictions. In one episode Krusty the Klown watches a television show called “Hercules vs. the Martians.” Bart, in another episode, impersonates an alien. And in still another episode, the alien characters perform during a half time show. The fun thing about the Simpsons is the couch gags during the show’s opening credits. One such couch gag depicted the family being eaten after the couch turned into an alien.

Ben Tennyson of the alien cartoon Ben 10 discovers an alien pod in the woods. After examining, he comes upon watch-like device, called the Omnitrix that was stored inside. The mysterious becomes permanently attached to his wrist allows him to change into many different alien life-forms with their own unique powers. With aid from his friends, he begins an adventure which leads to him fighting evil, both earthly and of extraterrestrial origin.

Whatever your tastes, you certainly have a number of choices in alien cartoons.

Are aliens really real? The answer from officials on this matter is a clear denial of their existence. The explanations they provide on each reported sighting seem to be very convenient and some times ridiculous. It is not such a far fetched idea when you consider that we exist here on this earth; why do we choose to believe we are the only form of life in a galaxy of so many planets and solar systems? Why wouldn’t Aliens drop in to see what exists on our planet when we are constantly sending space shuttles and telescopes into the atmosphere to see what exists on other planets? Wouldn’t you just assume that other life exists on other planets and they would be just as interested in us as we would be of them?

The most Famous Alien Evidence

In 1947 the famous Roswell crash occurred. It was clamed that the US Government had recovered alien bodies and debris from a Ranch located in Roswell, New Mexico. A UFO crash site had been discovered by a Farm Hand and the US Army were called by the local Sheriff to investigate.
The US military at first gave reports that they had found a UFO crash site and had collected all the debris. It was transported to three different US military sites for storage and investigation. Later that day the reports had been changed to the discovery of an experimental military weather balloon belonging to a secret operation called ‘Mongol’.

The Cover Up
The owner of the Ranch was ordered not to discuss the incident with the media. There was a recorded interview with the ranch hand that discovered the crash site; the radio station that ready to play it to the world was ordered not to play a recorded interview due to its content. The cover up was very successful and even UFO enthusiasts accepted that it was a weather balloon. The cover up was very successful. The subject was put to rest until many years later when an interview occurred with Jesse Marcel, the only person known to have accompanied the Roswell debris from where it was recovered. Over the next few years, the accounts he and others gave elevated Roswell from a forgotten incident to perhaps the most famous UFO case of all time. It is still investigated and discussed to this day. It seems that most people would prefer to believe that Aliens aren’t real but evidence seems to indicate that their existence is warranted.

This is just a glimpse of the evidence to support the existence of Aliens. I use the Roswell report as a base of hard evidence that involved an abundance of government involvement and concealment. This evidence is highly documented and confirmed and the Government stills use weak claims to discount the evidence. They claim that most reports from reputable people are disordered accounts from warped military memories; it is just mixed memories of military crash sites, trauma from viewing dead bodies and their age. They were not suggesting that they were malicious accounts purposely made up to fool the public; just the sad mind of people who had served in the military for a long time.

So are aliens really real? It is up to you to decide.

star trek alien racesAn entertainment series on science fiction in America that saw tremendous success was the Star Trek Alien Races series. The original series was made for television and Gene Roddenberry created it to be telecasted in the year 1966.

The television series worked really well and was shown for three consecutive seasons. Next came an adventure animated series for television and as many as six feature films. The adventure of Star Trek further commenced in four television series. The characters for this show were different. This program was Star Trek: The Next Generation. If the original series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager were awesome, Star Trek: Enterprise and Star Trek: The Next Generation was equally loved by audience. The latest of all is a movie made in 2009 that features a younger crew.

Star Trek Alien Races is not limited to television and movies. The popularity of this program became so high that it started coming in video as well as computer games. Even thousands of novels came on the same concept with same characters and the Las Vegas casinos had Star Trek themed attractions for its players.

Conception: How Star Trek Came into Being?

The proposal to make this science fiction was drafted by Gene Roddenberry in the year 1960. He wanted to move on the same lines as Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. He wanted to make the show on adventure and suspense story as well as a moral story.

The basic concept of Star Trek is to offer adventures of aliens from Federation’s Starfleet and human beings. Each series presented with a dilemma and the protagonists applied to this dilemma. The series had a political dimension and cultural realities. Issues of the year 1960 were addressed in the Star Trek: The Original Series.

The major events and issues that came to light through the series included personal loyalty, imperialism, authoritarianism, warfare, racism, human rights, economics, feminism, religion and sexism other than the state of the art technology.

It was clear in the mind of Roddenberry while conceptualizing the show that he wants to show political agenda of progressive nature. Also, he wanted to show the youth movement that became a part of the present day culture. He wanted to portray what the present day world may develop into a decade from then, learning from the past and may be finding future in violence.

His ideas and conception met with bias as well as oppositions and while he was able to show a lot, there were sides he was not permitted to show on the series.

Television series
Star Trek Alien Races have their foundations in the six series created for television, namely, The Original Series, The Next Generation, The Animated Series, Deep Space Nine, The Enterprise and Voyager. Till date, as many as 726 episodes of Star Trek have been made. The television series has witnessed 30 seasons, which is remarkable.

What began from just a television series and converted into films saw a phenomenon difference in opinions. Some people loved it while some hated it and ridiculed it.

There are powerful factions within the world governments attempting to hide new alien evidence from the public, the private and the hidden individuals who would be inclined to research the facts.

It is known to the general public that the events that occurred at Roswell, New Mexico in the 20th century were covered up by the US government for many years, for the supposed purpose of public safety. It is in fact for the purposes of public safety that new alien evidence is not disclosed. There are powerful men in control of the hegemonic power structures that define the global patriarchy, in order to control and benefit from the work of millions.

Were the truth about aliens known, were it possibly apparent that aliens did in fact exist, and have regular interactions with the humans of the earth government, then there would be rapid and total transition of the worlds population from a system of oppressed poverty to one of universal harmony. It is not in the interests of the global tyrants, or their alien allies for the people of the earth to live in peace, without conflict and in total happiness.

These terrible creatures thrive on terror and suffering; merchants of death purveying not only bullets, guns and tragedy, but also selling false hopes through the idols of capitalism, mass marketing the American dream to the third world consumer. It is impossible to tell for how long these cover-ups have been going on, but it is known that they occur. The extent to which they happen to become revealed is a careful and controlled development, driven by the vicious forces in control of global power.

Truly enlightened individuals share with the aliens that are in contact with the elites some special characteristics. Often they are telepathic, able to communicate through the power of through space time bending, utilizing only the mental faculties within their brains. Though there have been technologies developed for the tyrants in control, to allow them to utilize their own mental telepathy, they do not naturally possess this as an inherent ability. It is only the luckiest, enlightened wise ones of Earth who bear the ability to communicate in thought alone.

The fact that these telepathic abilities are not more widely known of or studied is another cover up, but one that is done for the safety of the special individuals. They are especially careful with their movements and their interactions with aliens, for if they are not they face a risk of extermination and painful death at the hands of the alien torturers who would capture them for the global tyrants.

It is of the utmost importance for any mentally able individual reading this to not reveal ones abilities to the general public, at fear of exposure. There is constant development in the field of extraterrestrial research, and should a friendly alien race come to Earth in order to break the government conspiracy and initiate a new world order then all telepaths will be needed to act as interpreters and translators for a potentially fearful public.
