If Not Space Then Where?

Given the enormous distances involved in space travel, and the scientific boundaries regarding faster than light speed. Its hard to logically accept a theory of extra terrestrial visitation on earth. Whilst I am open to the possibility that contrary to logic and science, there may be some unexplainable way for long distance space travel to occur, the odds are so infinitely against it, that it merits little thought. Many people may dream of one day winning the lottery, but who dreams of winning it consecutively every week for the rest of their life?

Yet with this in mind, there is a surprising and almost insurmountable amount of evidence to suggest that ‘non human’ intelligent life forms, with technology superior to our own, have (or do) existed, and exerted an influence on our planet. So where did they come from, and how did they get here?

Is it not more feasible to believe, that if such a being existed on this planet, it must have been here all along, or that it must have evolved on this planet to begin with. Likewise any evidence relating to such beings must therefore also be native in origin.

This would certainly overcome our issue of great distances. It would also negate any probability of the discovery of our planet in the first place.

Instead of providing an impossible answer to a question, why not assume these creatures developed and evolved here on this earth all along. After all why not? Isn’t that how we got here? Why then is it not probable to believe that another intelligent being evolved alongside ourselves, or possibly even way before we did.

If there are intelligent beings native to this planet, that have evolved along a similar line to our own, wouldn't that make ‘them’ ‘us’ i.e. human? Well according to most eye witness accounts of an alien type creature, they are not human at all. They may appear humanoid in shape, but definitely not in appearance. The descriptions do vary but a common one that prominently stands out from the rest is a being with a large head, long thin limbs, oval eyes, and grey skin etc.

So what are they then? Well evidence would suggest they have advanced technology, possibly even more advance than our own, thus they must be intelligent, and as their technology is so developed its plausible to assume they have been around longer than we have. In other words, these creatures evolved before we did.

Now before we speculate any further as to where these beings came from, how they evolved, and where they have gone to, lets first take a look at the conditions needed for intelligence to evolve in the first place...
