Introduction
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island
of ignorance in the midst of a black sea of infinity, and it was not
meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its
own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the
piecing together of disassociated knowledge will open up such
terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that
we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly
light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

L
ET’S GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT RIGHT OFF. THIS BOOK HAS nothing to do with
stories of vampires, werewolves, devil worship, witchcraft, or anything else
commonly thought to be of the occult, although there is an unearthly aspect.
Many believers choose to put their faith in such stories, but there is another
narrative growing in the public consciousness that can no longer be written off
as mere fable: the idea that aliens from outer space or other dimensions may
have—or may be trying to—take control of the world.
The word occult, often misconstrued to mean supernatural or magical, actually
is defined simply as hidden or concealed. Even so, the word also involves a
connection to outer space or the heavens. In astronomical terms, the term
occulted equates to an eclipse, in which one heavenly body is masked, or hidden,
behind another.
What history is being hidden from us? It would appear that something
nonhuman seeks to control the planet Earth and may even have contributed to
the advent of modern humankind.
The field of entertainment is no stranger to this idea. The television series V
presented benign humanlike aliens visiting Earth, who turn out to be a reptilian
race set on conquering our world. Movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers
and books like Robert A. Heinlein’s The Puppet Masters have depicted humans
transformed into zombielike pod people after an alien invasion. But these
seemingly outrageous concepts haven’t always been the stuff of pulp fantasy
novels or television scripts. Rather, they’ve been considered seriously by many
people at different times throughout our history.
David Icke, author of the The Biggest Secret, has built a large worldwide
following with his claims that certain world leaders, including the British royals,
are shape-shifting reptilian aliens who have been on Earth since before written
history. According to Icke, these leaders have descended from many generations
of reptilian aliens. “A race of interbreeding [reptile-human hybrid] bloodlines …
were centered in the Middle East and Near East in the ancient world,” wrote
Icke, “and, over the thousands of years since, have expanded their power across
the globe … [through] a network of mystery schools and secret societies …
creating institutions like religions to mentally and emotionally imprison the
masses and set them at war with each other.”
Lest one believe such talk comes only from loony fanatics, consider that none
other than the famed scientist Carl Sagan wrote at length in his book The
Dragons of Eden about the reptilian complex, which tops the brain stem, the
oldest part of the human brain. Sagan said this part is the “seat of aggression,
ritual, territoriality and social hierarchy which evolved millions of years ago in
our reptilian ancestors.” He equated such characteristics with modern human
bureaucratic and political behavior.
The idea that surreptitious space aliens want to take over the planet has been
around since long before David Icke. A 1952 issue of Weird Science, a
publication of the fabled Educational Comics (EC) that was shut down in the
early 1950s due to the advent of the Comics Code, carried a story in which Allie
Gator, a takeoff on the alligator character in the then-popular TV puppet
program Kukla, Fran and Ollie, was elected president following a joke write-in
campaign. Allie turned out to be the leading element of a reptilian alien force
bent on taking over the Earth.
Much earlier and on a more somber note, journalist Charles Fort declared, “I
think we’re property.” Fort was an American writer who from 1916 until his
death in 1932 researched and wrote about a large number of “anomalous
phenomena,” a lofty term for artifacts and events that evade conventional
explanation.
In his 1919 work, The Book of the Damned, Fort explained that by “damned”
he meant that we, humans, have been excluded from certain knowledge. “I
should say,” he continued, “we belong to something. That once upon a time, this
Earth was No-Man’s Land, that other worlds explored and colonized here, and
fought among themselves for possession, but that now it’s owned by something:
That something owns this Earth—all others warned off. … I suspect … that all
of this has been known, perhaps for ages, to certain ones upon the earth, a cult or
order, members of which function like bellwethers to the rest of us, or as
superior slaves or overseers, directing us in accordance with instructions
received—from Somewhere else—in our mysterious usefulness.”
Fort compiled such a prodigious amount of data covering unusual events that
his books are still in print. His followers founded the Fortean Society in 1931,
which continues to exist and publishes Fortean Times. The very words Fortean
and Forteana have entered the English language, referring to the strange and
unexplainable.
But it was Swiss journalist Erich von Däniken, with his 1968 book, Chariots
of the Gods, who brought the concept of “ancient astronauts”—visitors who
came to our world during the Stone Age to help perpetuate the human race—to a
global audience.
Two questions arise from Fort’s and von Däniken’s writings. How warranted
were their condemnations of the unwillingness of conventional science to
investigate unconventional phenomena? And more important, how right were
they about the concept of nonhuman control?
One of the most prominent websites for skeptics acknowledges ancient
mysteries but shuns the idea of ancient astronauts, merely stating, “It is true that
we still do not know how the ancients accomplished some of their more
astounding physical and technological feats. We still wonder how the ancient
Egyptians raised giant obelisks in the desert and how stone age men and women
moved huge cut stones and placed them in position in dolmens and passage
graves. We are amazed by the giant carved heads on Easter Island and wonder
why they were done, who did them, and why they abandoned the place. We may
someday have the answers to our questions, but they are most likely to come
from scientific investigation not pseudoscientific speculation.”
Others have concluded that standard science may not offer the right tools to
figure out our past. Following a lifetime of research, author Philip Coppens
concluded in his 2012 book, The Ancient Alien Question, that the manner in
which science has considered the question of nonhuman contact in our distant
past is “not the correct, or at least not the only, approach. When we look at
reality the way it is, rather than within the reduced framework in which science
prefers to operate, it becomes clear that there is only one answer. Were we
alone? No.”
William Bramley, in his 1990 book, The Gods of Eden, said he began studying
the causes of war but came to the conclusion that “Human beings appear to be a
slave race languishing on an isolated planet in a small galaxy.” He added that
“the human race was once a source of labor for an extraterrestrial civilization
and still remains a possession today. To keep control over its possession and to
maintain Earth as something of a prison, that other civilization [Bramley called
them Custodians] has bred never-ending conflict between human beings, has
promoted human spiritual decay, and has erected on Earth conditions of
unremitting physical hardship. This situation has lasted for thousands of years
and it continues today.”
After more than 360 pages cataloging evidence of possible ancient nonhuman
visitation on Earth, author, psychologist, and ordained Baptist minister Paul Von
Ward in his 2011 book, We Have Never Been Alone, concluded that “enough
evidence of AB [Advanced Beings] involvement in human history exists that no
responsible student of the human past and present can dismiss it in good
conscience.”
Australian researcher Paul White saw the involvement of nonhumans as the
basis of ancient legends and myths worldwide. “Just after the Deluge, at the
dawn of the present time cycle, an era the Egyptians called ZEP TEPI, ‘The First
Times,’ a mysterious group of ‘gods’ appeared, to initiate the survivors in the
rudiments of civilisation. From Thoth and Osiris in Egypt, to Quetzalcoatl and
Viracocha in the Americas, traditions worldwide subscribe [sic] the origins of
contemporary civilisation to this sophisticated group.”
“Evidence from around the world, indicates these people were the hi-tech
survivors of the previous civilisation of what we now refer to as Atlantis and
Mu. Like the nuclear survival bunkers and secret research facilities of our own
civilisation, there were those who arose from the underground ‘cities of the
Gods,’ after the dust settled. These survivors are characterised in the Bible as the
‘prediluvian patriarchs,’ like Enoch and Methuselah, the ‘giants and heroes of
old,’ mentioned in Genesis. These are the ‘fabled gods’ of ancient Summer [sic],
Egypt and India.”
Is there any historical or archaeological evidence to support such beliefs?
There is, and it’s compelling, though it contradicts many of our conventional
histories and beliefs. This is good. After all, at one time, conventional belief was
