A small (45-cm or 18-inch) metal saucer made headlines in the U.K. press in 1957 after it was found in Silpho Moor near Scarborough in Yorkshire.
It was cut into pieces and examined – and then lost for 50 years. It recently turned up in the London Science Museum.
This saucer-like object has a bizarre
new age connection. The
Yorkshire Post reported on 8 February 1957 that its copper bottom was covered in hieroglyphics.
According to Live Science,
“
The Silpho Moor saucer also contained a small book, the Post reported, covered in more hieroglyphics, which a Scarborough café owner claimed to decipher as a warning from an alien named Ullo about atomic war: ‘You will improve or disappear.’
Metallurgists and other experts who studied the Silpho Moor object determined that it had no special properties and had never been to outer space, the Post reported, a journey that leaves telltale signatures in metal.”
UFOs and aliens tend to
make headlines every
now and
then.
UFOs seem to have an
evolution connection as well.
If life evolved here, it should also have evolved elsewhere, they seem to believe.
Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell believes in UFOs, and the
SETI folks are searching for alien life everywhere.
Some evolutionists speculate what
aliens might look like , others are concerned with
how to communicate with them, and some, like
professor Stephen Hawking, are afraid of them.
Unfortunately (for them, that is), all
alleged signals have been
false alarms.
In other words, there is no proof of extraterrestrial life or evolution anywhere.
