My phone just shut off mid post, lost about 2 paragraphs... Fuck you apple.
The world is an interesting place, and if you choose to learn about it through an observant and insightful eye many things stand out as odd. I have never been much of a fan of learning through textbooks, I have always enjoyed primary sources as they contain more information and are generally non-biased or edited to prove a point. Finding these can be hard, but often what is reported first is contrasting to what is later published. This is true of both older documents from explorers (due to racial comments and language barriers), to modern military deployments (what troops report back is almost never what is published to the media for a golden image of the governments- this is true of all nations). Conspiracies aside, we only know so much at the moment about our planet, while we know the basic laws of physics, the fundimentals of chemical engineering, and plenty about bio; the actual workings of the universe and our planet are simply guess work at this point.
My favorite example is the fish that was presumed extinct for hundreds (thousands?) of years, but was caught by a fisherman in deep waters. The simple fact is, the oceans are vastly unexplored and the potential for unknown life is amazing. The same goes for our universe. Many tapes that are still "classified" show odd occurances in outer space. All of these tapes were filmed by stationary digital cameras on space exploration missions by NASA.
There is no doubt that alien life exists, the only question is to what extent and how advanced are these life forms. The evidence supporting alien encounters with the mayans and many south american cultures is irrefutable (spelling?). I am always baffled when people honestly think that thousands of years ago people made artwork so large, modern scientists didn't know of their existance until aerial exploration was made possible. The "artists" would have no way of making detailed carvings so large. No one could without some sort of aerial intervention.
