“I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.”
– Ronald Reagan

Throughout history advances in technology have led to the development of powerful weapons – each more deadly than the last. But were these lethal weapons the product of human innovation – or were they created with the help from another, otherworldly source? [10]

“They’re using air-to-ground missiles, powerful particle beam weapons. It’s astounding to read about events from centuries ago using weapons that are in use today.” – Bill Birnes, J.D., Ph.D. |
But were these lethal weapons the product of human innovation? Or were they developed with help from another, more otherworldly, source?

“Extraterrestrials may well have given man these weapons. They want us to be able to advance, and ultimately to be like them.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? Did Ancient Aliens really help to shape our history? And might they have been responsible for the development of mankind’s deadliest weapons?
