There are so many sightings and reports of alien abductions around the globe. There are conspiracy theories regarding Government cover-ups. It’s amazing how huge the Alien phenomenon has gotten over the many years. It can be argued that the earliest reported UFO sighting was Ezekiel who saw a wheel of fire in the sky in 500 B.C. The book War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells sparked imaginations in the Victorian era and inspired panic in the 1930’s. But, the alien craze didn’t really get booming until the purported alien crash-landing in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. In our current world of theory and fact, the jury is still out on the existence of extraterrestrial life. The spectrum ranges from the complete skeptic to the absolute believer and that turns the subject of Aliens and UFOs into big profits for some.

There are many memorabilia options for displaying which side of the spectrum you are on, but the most common is the UFO T-Shirt. If you want to show off to the world that you believe in Aliens and UFOs then you can be sure to do just that sporting a snazzy UFO T-Shirt. You can find these funny, quirky, amusing and sometimes downright hilarious bits of alien memorabilia anywhere T-Shirts are sold. But, don’t stop at just one. There are thousands of variations on the theme to choose from.

UFO themed T-Shirt designs range from the ridiculous to the realistic… from the amazing to the absurd and grab the attention and imagination of thousands of designers and millions of wearers. Some are artistic and some comical. There is no limitation to the imagination in UFO T-Shirt design and it is absolutely true that the “sky’s the limit.”

Some T-Shirts make proclamations such as “I Believe,” “We Are Not Alone” and “The Truth Is Out There.” Others have Beautiful imagery; a few UFOs flying through the Grand Canyon, or a UFO with a backdrop of a thunderous cloud and some lighting. They can be bright neon colors or glow-in-the-dark. Some even come with battery packs and flashing lights. They can also be custom-made to your exact specifications if you so desire.

For the skeptics, you can proclaim “Skeptic!” Or try some lighter fare with a T-Shirt that shows a couple of people playing poker with some dialogue. From the Believer: “I see your bet and raise you an Alien!” From the Skeptic: “I don’t see your Alien and I debunk your theories!”

Everywhere you turn, you are sure to find someone wearing a UFO T-Shirt. With so many options, you sure won’t see the same one twice very often if at all. Some of my favorites are the day-glow colors. They are super bright in daylight, and give the appearance of “glowing,” but when you get them into some eerie black lighting they really brighten up. There are many with the typical Gray alien, and also the same alien in various colors; sometimes glow-in-the-dark.

There’s nothing like capitalizing on a craze!

In seeking craft that may be of extra-terrestrial origin it is a common thing to watch the skies. However, these same craft that could survive the vacuum of outer space should be capable of as easily surviving the pressures of the watery depths. The idea that aliens visiting our planet have bases of operation is not a farfetched concept. Nor is it an inconceivable idea that these bases are hidden from the sight of the surface dwelling inhabitants of this planet by being constructed where we have no adequate way to discover them. The depths of the ocean would make such a safe haven.

Reports of aerial craft that have dipped into the ocean and flown out again have been in our recorded history for at least a thousand years. One of the earliest reports of a craft rising from the ocean, flying, and then returning to the depths comes from Geoffrey Gaimer's "Lestoire des Englis" written in 1067 A.D. The report states, "In this year people saw a fire that flamed and burned fiercely in the sky. It came near the earth and for a little time brilliantly lit it up. Afterwards, it revolved, ascended on high, and then descended into the sea."

The year 1580 A.D. saw the report of the Spanish Captain Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa as he passed through the Straits of Magellan. Translated from the Spanish it reads, "We saw emerge from the sea a round thing, red like fire, like a shield, that rose up on the air or on the wind. It became longer as it went over a mountain and, in the form of a lance high above the mount, its shape became like a half-moon between red and white in colour."

In the late 1960's the ex Naval Intelligence Officer William Cooper wrote of a sighting of an unidentified submersible object he spotted as a young naval officer aboard the USS Tiru. "I turned, raising my binoculars to my eyes just in time to see a huge disk rise from beneath the ocean, water streaming from the air around it, tumble lazily on its axis, and disappear into the clouds."

As sightings of UFO's increase worldwide, so to are USO's being reported in greater numbers. It stands to reason that if some unknown presence is sharing the planet with us then living in such inaccessible places would keep them much safer than if they merely tried to locate in remote locations. With technologies that preclude the need for chemical fires to propel them and hulls already made to withstand extreme pressures, the water should present no greater difficulty than air or vacuum would present.

As our own technology increases and we learn more of the topography under our oceans, many strange and seemingly non-natural formations are being found. Will it be that as we develop craft capable of descending to such depths we will find them being shadowed by alien craft just as our astronauts have reported all our space missions being monitored and observed for whatever alien end?

The reports of strange objects in the skies of our planet have been coming in for centuries. Few people anymore really doubt there is something going on but finding open and honest answers has not been at all easy to discover. Despite the many reasons we have been given to question the actions and motives of our governing agencies, people still want to believe that ultimately their leaders have their best interests at heart. In the case of unidentified flying objects and the possibility of alien contact this trust has been woefully betrayed.

One of the first big attempts at official government investigation was undertaken in the middle of the 20th century by the United States Air Force. Beginning with "Project Sign", that ended in 1948, it was officially determined that these objects were neither US or Russian in manufacture but failed to give even a hypothetical guess as to where they were from. "Project Grudge" quickly followed but was initiated as a purely debunking effort to convince the masses that they were "crazy" or "delusional" if they insisted on seeing an alien connection. This extremely cavalier attitude even angered senior military officials to the point that "Project Blue Book" was formed in an attempt to regain some sense of factual understanding of the phenomena of UFO's.

After years of investigation into nearly 13,000 UFO reports, 701 of which were never found to have even the most flimsy natural explanation, the Project was closed and the final statement issued was that "the phenomena poses no threat to national security." This was not an answer to the question but circumvention around the facts. A popular hypothesis for this is that they were quite aware of what these things were and the possibility that "deals" were in place that the common citizen was not privy to. It may not be a matter of "national security" but that still leaves the question of what it may mean to "personal security" if they are in fact alien in origin.

Other world governments have recently begun to be somewhat more forthcoming with the information they have compiled over the years about sighting made by their citizens. Beginning in 1989 the Belgian government and Air Force began an, at the time, unprecedented openness policy about the severe increase in UFO sightings happening in their country. Rather that trying to pacify the populous with pat stories of "misidentification" of mundane things, they admitted their ignorance of the cause and origins and welcomed input and information from their citizens. While a definitive conclusion was never made, the Belgian government acknowledged the phenomena and did not treat their citizens as if they were ignorant children incapable of dealing with the mystery.

May of 2008 also saw the British government and Ministry of Defense releasing thousands of pages of reports on UFO and alien sightings in their country. These reports are filled with observations from very reliable and trustworthy people including police, pilots, air traffic controllers, military personnel, and government officials themselves. It was their hope that with the release of this information, enough people could study and correlate the data to the point some idea of what is happening in our skies could be developed. We can but hope that with this new openness on the part of some of the world's governments a satisfactory answer can be gleaned before an alien craft makes a public landing and tells us what they are up to themselves.

One of the most profound mysteries involving the presence of either alien beings or humans, long before such a thing was supposed to exist, can be explored through the existence of the many artifacts discovered buried and embedded in rock strata far too old to explain. Ooparts, Out Of Place Artifacts in Relation to Time and Space, have been cropping up for centuries. They include everything from fossilized footprints to metallic objects made of non-naturally occurring alloys. Often these objects are discovered in rock formed millions of years ago when nothing even remotely human should have existed.

One such artifact that has recently gained popular notice is the "London Hammer" found in 1934 near London, Texas. Embedded in Cretaceous rock between 75 and 100 million years old is a wooden handled iron hammer. The metal was tested and found to be 96% iron with 2.6% chlorine and .74% sulfur with no carbon at all. The casting was so good that there were virtually no air bubbles in the iron, a feat that is nearly impossible even with today's technology. Although the wood of the handle has become somewhat coalified with inclusions of quartz and calcite it is still a very recognizable oval-shaped hammer handle.

Interestingly, it is also in Texas that fossilized human footprints were discovered in a layer of limestone that intersected and overlapped tracks made by a dinosaur. Such footprints have been found in other parts of North America as well. One such print, found in Antelope Springs, Utah, even had a trilobite embedded in the print which appears to be made by a shoe. This would make the print's origin over 200 million years old.

In a rare moment of semi-disclosure, the Smithsonian Magazine ran an article about anomalous footprints in their July 1992 issue. "Petrified Footprints: A Puzzling Parade of Permian Beasts" by the paleontologist Jerry MacDonald details some of his findings of fossilized tracks of birds and other beasts in stone far too old to carry such things as they had not yet emerged at that time. While acknowledging that these tracks were "problematic" in that it clearly conflicts with current evolutionary theories, the mention of the distinctive human footprints also in the rock were conveniently missing from the article's text.

Now the question must be brought forth, are humans a much older species that seems likely or possible? Were these tracks and artifacts even made and used by humans or was there someone else here long before the emergence of Cro-Magnon man onto the planet? Such objects do tend to give weight to the theory that we are somehow descended from entities that came to this planet long ago and eventually created us "in their image" as it were. According to the translated texts found in Sumarian archives, the Annunaki did come here long ago to explore and mine the planet. Did they leave behind these anomalous artifacts? Is it possible that science has everything wrong about the timeline of evolution? Or will we someday discover alien roots in our own existence as we search for the origins of these out of place objects?
