You mean THAT search?
Yeah, still no trace of aliens.
But.. you keep sitting on your toilet and thinking about aliens, mate.edit on 8-4-2012 by Furbs because: (no reason given)
Wow, no amount of degrees will make you right, sorry, because I didn't say they were out there so there's nothing to make me wrong about when it comes to that angle. So thinking you automatically have more authority on the subject because of a masters degree won't work really, I'm talking about a different research method. Strange that you seem to be on an aggro type wind up attempt too, almost like your feathers are ruffled because it's not one of the "accepted" versions of research. Boohoo if that's the case and wake up. Maybe you should've tried a course or two in opening your mind whilst getting your degree.
Go and look at photos, footage or writing if you don't like this thread and spare us the boredom.
Oh never mind, we've hit Skunkworks. Maybe it really isn't accepted to try anything but the programmed scientific "norm" after all. Or it'd at least be cool if the Aliens/UFO's forum was open to different research ideas anyway.edit on 8-4-2012 by robhines because: added

Yeah sorry, have been up quite a while now and you did come into the thread as if on a wind up so I responded in the same type of way. I don't think it's right that some research methods are seen as more or less a joke so it gets my back up sometimes. I just think there's something really dodgy going on with the scientific field and that the governments probably have a hand in it when it comes to this issue so it's hard to guess where people are coming from sometimes.

I think that's totally awesome too, I don't think my tiredeness helped me reading that properly, or I missed it thinking you were winding me up an went straight to another part of your post.
So haven't you found anything decent yourself that makes you wonder? And what sites have you visited?edit on 8-4-2012 by robhines because: added

I did some study in La Mojarra, in Veracruz Mexico. Epi Olmec. Not really all that interesting, but I went there because not a lot of excavation has been done. Didn't really find anything of much worth.
The bulk of my study was in Naranjo, and again, didn't find out much of anything in the realm of 'Ancient Astronauts', even though I looked HARD. XD

Really, once you discover the 'why' of the reason for the shapes of mesoamerican art pieces, why things look like aliens, and why things look like ufos, you find out that these people just were all that good at drawing or rendering things by our contemporary standards.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and in the art world, we are fortunate to have someone that knows technique to be able to teach us things like perspective.. the Maya and other mesoamerican peoples did not.
Here is a thread that might help you on your own quest. Stick to the front of the thread, it gets heated and silly toward the end. To my knowledge, no evidence came from this attempt either, but it is a step in the right direction.
