As they aged and their careers were less likely to be affected by revealing, even a bit, of their knowledge, a number of America's astronauts have let it be known that we are not alone in the universe. Several of these American heroes have stated that every space mission was observed either at a distance or close-up by alien craft. "Santa Claus" became the code word for the sighting of an unknown spacecraft so that the common citizens of Earth would not "panic" at the thought of superior technological entities being in our space. Even Neil Armstrong admitted that other huge vessels joined the first Earth vessel, Eagle One, while they were on the lunar surface.

Despite the sometimes obvious airbrushing of sections of the moon's surface in photographs taken by satellites and orbiting humans, it becomes a growing knowledge that our moon has been the home to an advanced alien race for a long time. Photographic evidence, especially taken from the far side of the moon has revealed geometric structures, artifacts, craft, and indications of a very long-term presence of some intelligence there. What appear to be circular transparent domes have been seen to glow with an internal light. People who have worked in and around NASA and the NSA have come forward with their stories of the insider knowledge of these bases.

There is even a series of popular video, taken during a Lunar Mission that was not supposed to have occurred, that shows we actually went back to take a close-up look at one of the ancient abandoned cities whose ruins are still standing. The skeptics say "there was no Apollo 20 flight" and it is true that NASA, the CIVILIAN SPACE PROGRAM, did not undertake this effort. However, at the end of NASA's moon missions at least two Saturn V rockets were already complete and others well into their construction. Florida is not the only place in the United States that rockets are launched. Among the many units assigned to the Vanderburg Air Force Base in California is the 30th Space Wing.

Military space launches are routine from Vandenburg as are rocket tests. It is rumored that the unused Saturn V rockets were taken there and the two missions to explore the alien ruins on the moon were launched with no publicity. The locals are used to rockets heading out from there and know better than to inquire as to the purpose. Anomalous activity on the lunar surface is not confined to the far side. Even amateur astronomers with backyard telescopes have often seen moving lights and other indications of activity on the moon. While the video from Apollo 20 is of an ancient ruin, there is rumor and indications that there are also more recent bases and mining facilities in evidence. As long as it seems some of these objects seem to have been in existence, it is no wonder they consider the moon at least to be theirs and, as Neil Armstrong put it, "the fact is, we were warned off! There was never any question then of a space station or a moon city."

Beyond a few subsequent, quick, lunar visits, humanity's journeys into space have been pretty well kept to our own planet's orbit. While unmanned robotic probes have been launched to the other planets, many have mysteriously quit working and others have seemingly been well guided to make sure nothing has been made public to "disturb" the Earth folk. But, if we have stayed out of the greater depths to our own solar system does this mean that an alien presence considers it their property and us indigenous creatures merely, as yet undomesticated, property on the planet we call home?

The star wars alien races are diverse and varied, but they all have one thing in common. They present a clear and significant danger to the likes of humanity. We have no power to defend against the mind powers of the telepathic aliens and the Sand people or the Hut are formidable traders, scavengers and power mongers.

There is no defense against the Sith and their control of the darker parts of the force, the power of evil. Humanity cannot defend itself from the worst aspects of dark life forces. There are many UFO’s in the world’s history that have done terrible things to humans and cattle. Leaving crop circles and carvings in mountain ranges for historians and enthusiasts to find, puzzle about, and develop theories over.

It is nonsensical for the hardest and sharpest of our minds to be unable to present even a tiny amount of retaliatory defense against any number of the extraterrestrial hazards we face. If we were faced with terrible destruction and painful torture at the hands of Star wars alien races then perhaps we would be motivated to develop a strong defensive capacity. Rather than using the Star Wars laser project to shoot down ICBM’s on earth, we could turn the laser beams skywards and shoot alien spaceships down. Even better we could use the laser beams to guide the ICBM’s to the alien spaceships in order to blanket the invading craft with nuclear oblivion.

Few weapons that we do have would pose any real threat to most of the aliens in the universe, with their antigravity capacity and faster than light travel. An insignificant percentage of the earthly munitions would actually allow for extra-atmospheric combat. The oldest of the minuteman missiles would suffice for near earth combat, were it not for the effect of a high altitude burst leading to massive Electromagnetic pulse and subsequent eradication of telecommunications capacity.

As it stands, our strongest defense against species like the Star Wars alien races is our atmosphere and the low technology. We have failed to even leave this little rock called Earth, and our technological capacity is sufficient only to eliminate the species present on Earth. With our little developed spaceflight technology, there is little threat that humanity can offer to any true masters of interstellar travel. In this fashion our humble little planet shall be preserved in the wake of intergalactic conflict, unless there are resources needed or stray blasts falling in our vicinity.

Even the most zealous of PhD students, working later and later, under the watchful eyes and helpful guidance of their professors cannot imagine the technologies of the UFO masters. With many years of focused research, perhaps the technology that has been deposited here by visitors can be adapted to provide Earth with defensive capabilities. We must hope for this outcome, and strive everyday for new defenses against aliens, for there are hostile alien races out there, intending no good to humanity should they land on Earth.

An 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.

In recent years the excavation and subsequent translation of thousands of clay tablets from the ancient land of the Sumerians has sparked a new controversy over just who we humans really are and where we originated. Based primarily on the work of the linguistic scholar Zechariah Sitchin, these translated writings from the earliest days of our known history tell some interesting and occasionally shocking stories about our beginnings.

Along with lists of daily business transactions there are extensive and detailed tables of scientific and astronomical information. The priest/scientist class of these ancient people were very interested in the movements of the planets with especial care about the proper times when a spacecraft/rocket could travel from Earth to what is described as the home planet of their gods. This was not mythology for the Sumerians as these gods lived among them and ruled over them.

Added to the fact that these tablets accurately portrayed all the planets of our solar system, including those only visible with large telescopes, is the system by which they are numbered. The planets in the ancient Sumerian texts count inward from outer space rather than outward from the sun.

Annunaki or Annukim translates from the Sumerian language as "Those who from the sky (or stars) came". The discovered tablets contain stories of how the planet of the gods entered our solar system very long ago and destabilized the planets to the point of causing the destruction of one, now circling the sun as the asteroid belt, and the collision of two others. These two broke up and ultimately reformed as the Earth and the Moon.

Much later, as the new planet Earth stabilized and developed life, the Annunaki journeyed from their home planet, called Nibiru, and set up several colonies on the young planet. The primary purpose for this colonization was to mine several natural resources, most notably gold, to be used to repair the damaged atmosphere of their home world. It is recorded on these tablets that the Annunaki are virtually immortal, with life spans so long that a single administrative assignment on Earth was two thousand years.

It is only circumstantial, but this could explain why, even as far from their colonies in what is now called the Middle East, there are fossil records that show in an ancient Texas mudflat, the tracks of a shoe wearing human crossing and mixing with the tracks of a dinosaur. From these tablets comes the belief that these aliens have been here from the very beginning.
