I know this may sound wierd to some people and most may think im totally bonkers but i have put alot of thought into this and think it might well be true.

Lets suppose for a moment that it is the year 5,200,904 and the human race has perfected space travel and have spent many thousands of years exploreing space for habital planets. And in the few million years of human advancement we have never TRUTHFULLY AND FACTFULLY answered the question of your own evolution. So what do we do ? I,ll tell you what we do.

We put cellular life on a habitable planet far far far from any planet we have inhabited for our own means. In this way we can study the evolution of that planet without their knowledge, and can learn of our own evolution throuth the data we recieve from this experiment. And being far from any other inhabited planets then we can keep that species in the dark about other life, and there will be no interferance from other species. Hence, they will KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING !

This would explain :

- the frequent but secret visits of various craft

- abductions and the placement of various devices in our bodies

- the lack of communication and direct contact with aliens

- possibly explain the "unexplained" leaps in human evolution and missin links

- the sudden destruction of other species on the planet at various times in evolution
when the "experiment didnt go as expected"

- would explain why with millions and millions of meteors and asteroids the human race is
still here and remains without any major bombardments or risk of sudden extinction

- would also explain why we have found no other life anywhere near our small corner of
space even though we are visited frequently

- the appearance of "strange" circular and pyramid structures all over the world even
though most of the civilizations had no contact with each other

- crop circles or "markings" in certain places

- and last but not least, this would also expalain why many many many abductees describe
their abductors and "humanoid" and bear a similar resemblance to ourselves. Some alien
sighting witnesses have even described their alien as being completely human in every
way (if they werent standing on top of a spacecraft lol).

We are an alien experiment !!! This is my belief. There is not ANY SOLID PROOF that can refute this theory.

I believe that they fully intend to let our evolution continue unobstructed. I also believe that all the species of the universe are at peace with one another and there is no war. Our "experiment" is shared among them and would explain the appearance of so many various types of craft. They are studying us and dont want their contact with us to obstruct the natural evolution of humankind. There are so many possibilities to this theory that they cannot be told in such a short post on this forum.

Draw your own conclusions and opinions, but you have to admit to yourself that this is a very intriguing possiblity. And if true would explain almost everything that is mysterious to us. I would love to hear your opinions, good or bad. So please post and either refute what i have said, or indulge yourself and add your knowledge

No,i don't think that we are an alien antfarm.

Ant farm or not, they have their hands in a lot of things.

This is very intriguing and only one of two plausible explanations which can explain our current situation concerning aliens and alien contact. The other one explanation is, they arrived relatively recently in our history.
This scenario, as recently pointed out by hazzard, is highly improbable because of the odds of an intelligence alien race finding us during this time scale are low. I might add I’m in complete agreement on this point; it is highly improbable.


However, there are contradictions in both scenarios which need to be addressed.

Yes, it's your "belief", but where's the evidence that this is indeed the case?




You have this part kind of backwards. First, you have to completely support your idea (hypothesis) that we are an alien experiment. It's not the responsibility for others to disprove anyone's hypothesis, the person making the claim has to support their hypothesis. The alien experiment hypothesis has to have sufficient irrefutable evidence in it's favor so as to make any other idea completely unlikely. All attempts at falsification of this hypothesis must fail, it must be shown that we have to be an alien experiment at the exclusion of all other possible explanations. If you're able to achieve this level of "proof" for the hypothesis then it may be referred to as a theory.



Yes, it is a very interesting idea. I don't know how you're going to support this hypothesis though. Unless the aliens come clean and tell us, or we can find some type of evidence that life on Earth was bio-engineered, this is going to be tough one to support. However, I have to admit it makes for some very fascinating speculation.

a couple MILLION years is a long time to run an experiment...

i think that they use us as we use mice in oour own labs, or we are put in zoos, or the capture us for "wild exotic pets", or slaves, or... something... else.(dadada)

It certainly is an interesting idea.



Spooky, eh?

Though I'm not a fan, they certainly did a rather nifty cover of 'Billie Jean'...

It is for us...but a couple of DAYS is a long time for real ants. This is an intriguing theory (not saying I'm a believer - but I am intrigued). Many of the species we study (especially insects) have no idea that humans exist since their brains can't fathom much more than reacting to the need for food, shelter and procreation. Is it possible that instead of being at the top of the intelligence scale we may be more like 2/3rds of the way down?

The theory would fit with some questions about UFOs. Another that hasn't been brought up yet is the seeming flury of UFO sightings and incidents once we had the A-bomb. Much documented activity around missile bases and the like. Could more recent sightings of USOs be tied to the fact that we can now launch nuclear weapons from submarines? Could it be that this is a multi-species study and the aliens don't want us humans screwing up the whole aquarium/terrarium with radiation?

I read a theory on another board once that the aliens may have a way to nuetralize our WMDs so that we can't mess up the whole experiment even if we want to. This would fit in with the fact that they don't interfere with normal wars - they really don't care if the various ant colonies on earth attack each other - only that they don't ruin the whole farm. That theory went on to say that our govt. wants to keep this secret because - if we knew there wasn't any real danger of nuclear war, nor is there a heaven or a hell - they would lose some of their ability to control society.

As I said - this is just an interesting theory - nothing i would base a belief system on - but it makes about as much sense as some other stories many of us swallow without any hard proof.

Perhaps to the alien beings watching over us that we are some type of media entertainment? You can use the same points used to say that we are an experiment like abductions and wierd devices implanted and constant UFO activity that they're putting small devices in us to observe us, and the constant UFO activity is just their cameraships. Think about it... it IS an entertaining notion.

"Could it be that this is a multi-species study and the aliens don't want us humans screwing up the whole aquarium/terrarium with radiation?"


Maybe they're preventing us from blowing each other up prematurely until the season finale.

Entertainment could be a big part of these alien visits Ned. I had another theory that the aliens are so far advanced that they are basically a-sexual and reproduce via scientific methods. Their is no real sex in their society.

Their "astronauts"...being the bravest of the brave on their planets...actaully have a little bit of testosterone left in them. Therefore, they come to earth for porn. They don't abduct people much - mostly they abduct Playboy's and Penthouse's.

That would be somewhat implausible seeing how creatures of different species would not be attracted to each other.


That being said, differences of species hasn't ever stopped a Welshman from "doing it" with a sheep.



So perhaps that would work out.



Anywhoo, we really don't know the motives of these extraterrestrial visitors.

Did you know that the welsh have now started wearing kilts? , as the sheep have got wise to the sound of zips

Humans has practically consumed earth's natural habitat. Many species went extinct when human expanded its colonies.

Proof: Google Earth.
Go to major urban cities and see humans clearing green areas for housing.
Go to rural areas and see humans cutting trees a habitat for other species for use in farming, mines and factories.

It is an alien antfarm.

War or not, Humans will take over all of earths landmass by year 12,012.

I have pondered this theory myself and I have come up with a couple of more interesting thoughts.

- An alien race is trying to understand a new 'human' race that was just found on this star system in this galaxy. They themselves are trying to understand what is responsible for life across the universe so it is important for them to study us carefuly to see if we can reveal any information as to our ancestors, where we came from.

Wild thought:

- Maybe we are more advanced than they are in other ways. They have advanced space ships, but do they have a more advanced social structure than we do? Maybe we lead in a particular field and it is imperative that they try to understand this and apply it to their culture.

I will post more on this later, I have to get back to work... hehe.

My guess is - if aliens are able to travel here from far far away in mega-advanced spacecraft - they are probably far more advanced than us in most every way. They don't really try to contact us any more than we try to talk to mice. We may study the habits of mice some from a scientific standpoint - but we don't try to communicate with them.

I would also guess that the aliens' main interest is that we humans don't destroy the bio-diversity on this planet by nuking it or poisoning it. From their point of view it's not "our planet"...we are just another life form walking around on it.

They may also be interested in the violent tendencies we exhibit and want to keep an eye on us in case we develop a technology that could harm them.

I would seriously doubt that they would want to get involved with us any more than they have to since they would know that any technological advancement they might help us with would undoubtedly be exploited for military/war fighting purposes.

Of course there are likely thousands of other un-thought-of reasons that aliens could be visiting earth that we just can't comprehend.

a while ago i was thinking about that same kinda theory i personaly think that it is possible and is prob the reason they dont just come down and save us from ourselves. until they want to

it is certanly a very intriguing possiblity, however it doesnt explain all that much as you'd think, i'll try to point out a few things:
- the frequent but secret visits of various craft

yes, among others, this is a solid possibility.

- abductions and the placement of various devices in our bodies

wasnt that debunked as the objects were proven to be either psichological phenomenom or a natural or othervise non-extraterestial material? i could be wrong on this but i think it realy was objectively debunked.

- the lack of communication and direct contact with aliens

maybe they have communicated, just by means we cant detect yet? still your explanation is possible too

- possibly explain the "unexplained" leaps in human evolution and missin links

as far as i know theres only one missing link, and i'm not sure its all that mysterious, also as a experiment of how life evolves i cant think of a reason they would artificialy "leap" us in either technology,sociology or evolution.

- the sudden destruction of other species on the planet at various times in evolution
when the "experiment didnt go as expected"

i'm not aware of any big species destruction since mankind emerged, not counting things like ice ages which are easily explained by conventional scientific theories (like most other sudden extinctions).

- would explain why with millions and millions of meteors and asteroids the human race is
still here and remains without any major bombardments or risk of sudden extinction

the current explanation that the atmosfere protects us from these things is quite fine, atleast for me. besides even with milions of asteroids and meteors, theres alot of space out there and our planet isnt all that big in the solar system.

- would also explain why we have found no other life anywhere near our small corner of
space even though we are visited frequently

if they cant fly from the house next dour (closest stars), why coulnd they most likely can fly here from another street (tens or hundreds of light years away, its a big galaxy out there)
and as you said we've only explored (via telescopes or otherwise) a small part of our little corner. besides i dont quite thrust the ways scientist are looking fore life (like radio waves which would obviously be too slow a communication for a spiecies with effective interstellar travel).

- the appearance of "strange" circular and pyramid structures all over the world even
though most of the civilizations had no contact with each other

yea, i kinda agree on this one,theres alot unexplained in this field, though some have equaly plausible theories without ets, after all if life can emerge on two or more non related planets, than maybe two or more unrelated cultures can have a similar idea on building structures. also again if this was an experiment to study evolution or life or whatever without interfering, than why would the aliens be related to anything of human lifestyle, sociology, religion (to which these structures are atributed).

- crop circles or "markings" in certain places

i dont quite get how this one is related, dont they have anything to record information they gather or take notes that they'd have to leave markings (relatively quicly disapearing btw) on poor farmers crops?

- and last but not least, this would also expalain why many many many abductees describe
their abductors and "humanoid" and bear a similar resemblance to ourselves. Some alien
sighting witnesses have even described their alien as being completely human in every
way (if they werent standing on top of a spacecraft lol).

while yes, it would explain, but this explanation is also one of many more conventional ones offered (yes, its ot completely unnexplained) like spicies developing oin similar conditions would have similar traits like number of limbs, body shape etc.


also i'd find it strange that a civilization thats trieng to study us or our planet without interfering as you say, would not try to hide there presence, leave no witnesses or have some kind of cloaking technology (given their tech level from the example you provided), but instead go floating all around the world in tens or hundreds and with flashing lites all over (literaly since almost all sighting accounts report bright lights on the object).


now by no means i'm trieng to debunk your theory, as i'm a beliver in ufos and aliens and all that, but i do think that such theories need a substantial amount of research and thought put to it, afterall because of flaws in theories the nonbelievers find it easy to debunk anything related to uffos or ets, well thats my 99 cents of input
