Granite rock is known for being the oldest igneous rock in the world, forming as early as 300 million years ago. The material is one of the hardest and most durable substances known to man, second only to diamonds. With this quality in mind, it’s of little surprise that mankind has used granite in building some of the most impressive monuments in history from the pyramids to the base of the Statue of Liberty. If you were building a structure that you planned on surviving a global disaster then granite would most likely be your best bet. This consideration is perhaps what led to the construction of a mysterious stone monument that is located in the unlikely location of Elberton, Georgia known mostly for its substantial supply of granite stone. Commissioned by a mysterious group that has remained anonymous to this very day, the megalithic monuments stands 19ft tall and collectively weigh nearly 240,000 pounds. What mysterious instructions for the post-apocalypse are printed on these massive slabs? Why were they built? Are they a monument to guide potential human survivors to a society governed by reason or are they guidelines to establish a New World Order?

The story of the human race has become increasingly rich and complex as we make new discoveries at a blazing pace. New species of hominids, artifacts, and structures like Gobekli Tepe are challenging the old theories and assumptions we had about our early ancestors. Still, in many circles, what is considered the hallmark of the most advanced cultures always seems to be the pyramid. Monuments that have lasted for thousands of years watching the rise and fall of the once-great empires that surrounded them. But in 2005 it was claimed that there had been a discovery of pyramids that dwarfed those that have been a landmark of the Giza Plateau and those in the jungles of Central America. In the town of Visoko one man believes he has uncovered pyramids left behind and crafted by an advanced culture that existed in the area of Bosnia-Herzegovina. What evidence is there of these magnificent structures? Are they truly the sign of the presence of a fantastically advanced pre-Ice Age civilization or are they more akin to a tourist trap roadside attraction on an international scale? Join the Theorists as they poke around and feel the power of...The Bosnian Pyramids.   Support The Alien Theorists on Patreon $5/ month for everything we do.

Earth is a lucky place. Set in the medium range from a star so that carbon based life can flourish, a large enough satellite, the Moon, to deflect incoming meteors and a stable magnetic field to ward off the worst of cosmic radiation. Despite all that, there have been several massive extinction events, that we know of, which have nearly wiped out all life on our little blue space marble. What if the next texas sized chunk of rock sailing through our solar system has our name it? Looking to science-fiction, we find that the threat of total human extinction has been mitigated due to the fact that our society has taken the leap to settle out among the other planets and moons in our cosmic neighborhood. Cities on a red Mars turned green, hollowed out asteroids where we mine for ice, and jovian moons turned to farming worlds. How far are we from turning science-fiction scenarios into reality? What challenges face our civilization as we take our first steps towards becoming an interplanetary empire? What technology will we use to reach out and place our legacy among the stars?

In 1976, NASA was more than happy to release photos sent back by their pioneering Viking 1 space probe. Among those photos there was a mysterious image that would set the UFO community’s collective imagination to focus on our rocky red neighbor. Of the 40 missions sent to Mars, only 18 have been deemed successful. Although, the success rate seems impressive when weighed against the many challenges of landing and surviving on the martian planet surface. Dust storms that can last for months and cover huge areas of the planet, a barely-there atmosphere, and the planet lacks the protection granted by an intrinsic global magnetic field.  For those reasons alone scientists have been hesitant to consider Mars a suitable place for a human space settlement. But there are claims that shadowy space programs have been sending people there for years. Claims that the planet was previously populated and that perhaps those martian habitants have even been living among us to save us from the same events that doomed their once thriving planet.

Just north of San Francisco, there is a 2,700 acre private campground set deep amongst the majestic redwood forests. Since 1872, captains of industry, media moguls, and artists have come together at an exclusive gathering every July for two weeks. To attend this invite-only meeting of money and minds you might spend as long 20 years on the lengthy waiting list. If you had been a member in the last 50 years you wouldn’t be surprised to see a few familiar faces from the U.S. Political stage. Names like Nixon, Reagan, and Bush would be among those staying within the luxuriously appointed camps. At least one journalist had infiltrated the camp and expounded on the activities that the rich and famous get up to. Painting a picture of near-constant drunken hijinks interspersed with lectures and musical performances and an abundance of public urination. But there are rumors of something sinister going on underneath the dark boughs of the secluded forests. Rumblings of idolatry and druidic practices, human sacrifice and even demon worship.

Kepler-47 C, a gas giant planet approximately 5 times the mass of Earth over 3,000 lightyears away. It is at least one of a few planets astronomers have observed orbiting a binary star system but if posts from an anonymous source in 2005 on an email forum including some of the time’s leading UFO researchers is to be believed, there is at least one other planet circling two stars and a team of U.S. military scientists were deployed to spend 10 years studying the planet and gather information about the inhabitants. From 2005 to 2016, a person claiming to be a retired official from within the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency began releasing information that detailed the experiences and scientific findings of the 12 brave men and women who participated in this interplanetary endeavor. Of those 12 pioneers, only 7 were said to have returned.

Throughout the 19th century, a widespread fear of being buried prematurely took hold of many European and North American communities. Rumors and stories of people who seemingly passed away due to an illness, waking up to try to claw their way out of their wooden coffins or stone mausoleums. The obsession with this fear going so far as to spawn patents and prototypes of coffins that could be connected to a small bell or some other device above ground to allow the recently deceased to signal a graveyard caretaker to come to their aid. But in a number of towns within the Northeast United States, people were not as worried about burying their dead as worried about their dead were staying buried. For almost 100 years a panic gripped the towns and cities of New England where it was believed that recently deceased were returning from beyond the grave to feed on the living essences of their living family. This fear led to numerous recorded incidents of macabre exhumations, occult practices, and in some cases, even ritual cannibalism.
