Theory -
Extraterrestrials are Not Really Aliens from another Planet , but Humans that have Evolved over Thousands of Years in the Future Traveling Back in Time to Study their Ancestors .
A Theory Not easily Disproven IMO .
there is an intriguing passage in a history text by the 10th-century Arab historian, Abul Hasan Ali Al-Masudi, known as the Herodotus of the Arabs. Al-Masudi had traveled much of the known world in his day before settling in Egypt, and he had written a 30-volume history of the world.
He too was struck by the magnificence of the Egyptian pyramids and wrote about how their great stone blocks were transported.
First, he said, a "magic papyrus" (paper) was placed under the stone to be moved. Then the stone was struck with a metal rod that caused the stone to levitate and move along a path paved with stones and fenced on either side by metal poles. The stone would travel along the path, wrote Al-Masudi, for a distance of about 50 meters and then settle to the ground. The process would then be repeated until the builders had the stone where they wanted it.
Considering that the pyramids were already thousands of years old when Al-Masudi wrote this explanation, we have to wonder where he got his information. Was it part of an oral history that was passed down from generation to generation in Egypt? The unusual details of the story raise that possibility. Or was this just a fanciful story concocted by a talented writer who -- like many who marvel at the pyramids today -- concluded that there must have been some extraordinary magical forces employed to build such a magnificent structure?...

EVERYTHING in this Life is an Outright LIE , and the Few People who are Aware of that Terrible Truth are Extremely Manic-Depressive Misanthropes .

An oldie but a goodie, that whole "Project Serpo" thing that ended up being a hoax was pretty fun and engaging for me at the time.

The Dyatlov Pass incident has always fascinated me as well. A genuine mystery that has more questions than answers.
There was a film in 2013 called Devils Pass that was pretty good.

i've always enjoyed jacques vallee's assertion that today's aliens were yesteryear's fairies.
from a mythological/cultural standpoint he's 100%, but he means it literally....
