The Future of 'Ancient Aliens': Debunking Aliens and UFOs in Popular Culture
When will the History Channel series 'Ancient Aliens' ever go off the air? This is a question that often arises among fans and critics alike. While some might relish the idea of a show that reinforces the notion of aliens and UFOs, others are left whistling in the wind, given the questionable characters and evidence presented.
The show, with its repeated use of pseudo-historical figures like the so-called "author" of ancient artifacts, Larry Coryell, or the brillo-headed Giorgio, has become a subject of much controversy. Coryell, often referred to as the "copy-past artist" of public domain works, has gained a certain notoriety. His dubious status as an author is another layer of skepticism surrounding the show's credibility.
Questionable Evidence and Research Methods
When 'Ancient Aliens' presents its evidence, it often includes artifacts that even the most diehard ufologists will tell you have been proven to be fake repeatedly. This practice does more harm than good, as it undermines the very legitimacy of the show. Instead of conducting original research, the cast regurgitates ideas that have been proposed by others, in the hopes that, like spaghetti thrown on a wall, some will stick. However, this only serves to further alienate legitimate ufologists and the general public.
Another serious issue is the use of Linda Moulton Howe, a known faker of evidence, as a source of information. Additionally, the show incorpoates the research of an ex-Nazi author from Chicago who is also a convicted felon, adding another layer of controversy. The geologist who investigates the Pyramids, though, seems to be one of the only redeeming members of the crew.
The Hope for De-Classification and Change
Only when a standing President officially de-classifies reports on UFOs will the 'Ancient Aliens' show truly go off the air. However, this would be an ominous sign, indicating that contact with extraterrestrial beings has already occurred. The idea that President Ford and Carter wanted to declassify such reports, but were prevented from doing so, adds to the intrigue. 'Someone' forbade them from declassifying the reports, and the reasons behind this decision remain cloaked in mystery.
Obesity Epidemic and UFOs
Interestingly, some have questioned whether there might be a correlation between the current obesity epidemic and the 'To Serve Man' episode of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone. This curious idea raises more speculations and questions about the unknown influences in our world. Is it possible that the alien visitors use our food and resources for their own survival? This thought alone makes one ponder deeply about the unseen forces around us.
Conclusion
The future of 'Ancient Aliens' is uncertain, and sadly, it might be a long time before the show goes off the air. While some fans might be disappointed by the absence of Giorgio Tsoukalos' signature hair, others hope for a day when it might. Hopefully, we will see more factual and credible content in the future, rather than relying on reality TV to fulfill our curiosity about the unknown.
