Aliens may have existed on Earth. Here's why scientists think they left

It's one of humanity's most all-consuming questions, fascinating scientists, governments and pop culture alike.

But in 2017 a US space scientist claimed that advanced life forms may be a reality – but that they disappeared long ago.

Professor Jason Wright, an astronomy and astrophysics professor at Pennsylvania State University, published a paper in arXiv entitled 'Prior Indigenous Technological Species'.

In 2017 he claimed that ancient 'technological species' may have lived on Earth billions of years before the human race.

Well, either Earth, or a "pre-greenhouse Venus," or "a wet Mars"... He wasn't 100 per cent sure.

However, Wright said:

Given that it is known to host complex life, the most obvious origin for a prior species of any sort is Earth.

He pulled no punches when he explained that:

Present-day Venus would seem to be a terrible candidate for a technological species, with a surface temperature over 700K, although when it comes to alien life we should keep an open mind about even this.

Wright believes that the ancient species has disappeared, but that in the past we could have found found traces of them underground, called "technosignatures".

Wright proposed that we might find traces on more undisturbed surfaces such as the Moon and Mars.

Of course, the idea that humans are not the only sentient species is nothing new.

Indeed, he wrote, "the idea of indigenous Martian civilisations pervades science fiction to the point of cliche".

He said that "the most obvious answer" is a cataclysm, "whether a natural event such as an extinction-level asteroid impact, or self-inflicted, such as a global climate catastrophe".

“..Such an event would only permanently extinguish the species if there were many cataclysms across the Solar System closely spaced in time (a swarm of comets, or interplanetary warfare perhaps), or if the settlements were not completely self-sufficient.

Alternatively, an unexpected nearby gamma ray burst or supernova might produce a Solar-System-wide cataclysm.

Even without a cataclysm, the species may have simply died out, or become permanently non-technological at some point, or [...] abandoned the Solar System permanently for some reason.”

The Livingston Incident – A “Criminal Investigation” Of A UFO!

Police would treat Robert Taylor’s report regarding his apparent out-of-this-world encounter as a case of criminal assault. This would make the incident the only UFO or alien abduction case to be part of a criminal investigation.

It is highly probable that one of Scotland’s most famous UFO encounters sometimes referred to as the “Dechmont Woods Encounter”, involved the alien abduction of Taylor.

Event: 9th November 1979 near Livingston.

The Encounter of Robert Taylor

Robert Taylor decided to pull his vehicle to the side of the road so he could stretch his legs, and allow his dog to do the same. He did so, on a quiet road near to the M8 motorway.

As he made his way into the woodland at the road-side, a “flying dome” came into his line of sight. It appeared to be floating, slightly above the tops of the trees. The craft was close enough that he could make out the rough sandpaper-like texture of the black metallic material. An aroma of “burning brakes” suddenly seemed to fill the air. He noticed two objects that had fallen to the ground from the main craft.

Of more concern to Taylor, he could feel a pulling sensation on his body – as if the craft was dragging him towards it. It was then he realized his hips had “rods” attached to them, that had shot out from the small objects. He began to panic and pull back from it, but his...
