I've come to realize that the biggest problem anywhere in the world is that people's perceptions of reality are compulsively filtered through the screening mesh of what they want and do not want to be true. - Travis Walton

Neither Ancient Aliens, or Ancient Aliens "Debunked", were convincing to me. Just my opinion, but both slant their "facts" to conform to their own world view. Who knows what the truth is, but somebody(s) has gone to just enough trouble to make sure the public stays divided on the topic.
In some ways, we really haven't changed much in the last several thousand years. I know Travis Walton wasn't the first person to state the obvious, but I like the way he says it...

I think Travis must've spent most of his time among theists and others involved in the supernatural/paranormal.

I have made a video about my theories of ancient aliens, human origins and the foundations of religions. I think I have some fresh insights that you may not have heard before, though many of them are based on sources most of you will be familiar with like the Ancient Aliens show, Chariot of the Gods, and Secharia Sitchin's writings. Specifically I address the origins of Judaism/Christianity as seen through the lens of ancient aliens. This is a link to my youtube video: www.youtube.com...

There is no doubt that some very unusual things happened in ancient times. I doubt that they are all just completely imaginary, so that leaves either a God, advanced human race from somewhere else on earth, or aliens. If you start by finding strange things in the bible, then reading about what other books had to say about them you will find a large assortment of intriguing information. I hate to say it, but I used Wikipedia quite a bit in researching this, because you can quickly find out what different groups had to say about the same events.
I think it's amazing how many things that people in the middle east know that most Americans never heard of, live they have an actual location where they claim Abraham is buried, or how many groups claim they are direct descendants from different patriarchs, etc.
