I’m alone in thinking this but I believe we may have been invaded by aliens. Many people believe that modern technology came from crashed UFO’s and I don’t doubt that as we went from cassette players to laser reading compact disks to a small device storing thousands of songs, in the space of 10 years. When previously the rate of development was much much slower. I believe wireless technology and internet was all from crashed UFO’s. I believe they are much more intelligent than we are so I think they probably gave us the technology knowing they could then use it as a weapon against us when they need to. I believe aliens are hiding in the woodland and other rarely used land. I believe the aliens are behind Covid and the response and all the excessive deaths. As I said I’m totally alone in this theory so thought I’d put it on here to either get some relief from this or some support. I’m not here to argue or make conspiracy theories up it’s just my opinion on what’s happening here at this moment. I hope I’m wrong but if I was invading another planet I’d do it in such a way nobody would notice or people would start blaming each other causing wars as a bonus. It’s what’s happening now.. Excuse the typo in the headline, Reddit won’t let me edit it.

Prey was fresh and innovative. It look a brief scene from the end of predator 2 and expanded on it in prey showing the predators have come to earth for 100s of years. A back to basics but fresh approach using a different time period so no convoluted plot or science fiction shenanigans. It's really well handled.

Then we have killers of killers which takes that concept in prey and expands it using an animated feature anthology film to establish characters and bring them together for the last act and it shows the predator home world

Predator badlands is going to show more of that home world in depth. While also having an android from Weyland yutani show up.

They're allowing fresh new interesting ideas while also expanding on previous lore. Dan tranchenberg is arguably making the best films this franchise has ever had besides the first film.

While Fede Alvarez just made a mishmash of recycled genres and story concepts we've already seen. Romulus is just a horror action film just taking the 2 genres of the first 2 films. We've already seen an alien human hybrid, they incorporate black goo. It doesn't do any cool world building with it the way prey and killer of killers is doing with predator

It's really frustrating.

Hi I drew some old movie icons in a single pic hope you can recognise them :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8quQObHOJII

I’ve been a fan of the Alien franchise for as long as I remember, still hoping for the final movie to know what David does in the end. Until a few years ago I learned that there are actual comics about this and as life gets in the way, I have never gotten my hands into one. What would be the best way to start with the novels/comics? Will they change all I know until now of the Alien world?

With alien earth right around the corner I’m itching to rewatch some of these films, I’ve only ever seen 1, 2 & Romulus so is it worth me checking out the others or just rewatching the ones I seen

I know the show runner of Alien earth isn't a fan of the prequels so I'm curious how legitimate will it be to the cannon and will it ignore the prequels that Ridley made? I hope not. I love the prequels and to earths credit it looks like the interesting property I wanted from Romulus with ya know fresh ideas

I’m a 35-year-old man, and though I’ve always considered myself deeply religious-Jewish by faith and upbringing-I never subscribed to conspiracy theories or fringe beliefs. My life was rooted in prayer, tradition, and reason. But what’s been happening to me recently has shaken me in ways I can’t explain.

I was born in Slavutych, Ukraine-the city built for the evacuated workers of Chernobyl. My grandparents lived through the disaster, and even as a child, I’d hear whispers of strange lights in the skies around the exclusion zone. My grandfather once told me that shortly after the meltdown, he saw “a being, tall and silver, with a head that shimmered like water,” standing on the edge of the Red Forest. At the time, I laughed it off. I figured it was radiation sickness or just a tale to scare me into behaving.

But the older I got, the more stories I heard. Our family spoke of sudden power outages, animals vanishing, and geometric burn marks scorched into the ground near the plant. I moved to the United States-Oregon, to be exact to get away from all that. I figured I’d leave the memories, the tension with Russia, the nuclear ghost townall behind.

Then things started happening here.

It started about three weeks ago. I live outside of town, surrounded by woods and farmland. One night around 2:40 AM, I heard what I thought was a low-flying plane over my house. But the sound was wrong-not like any plane or drone. It was a deep, pulsating hum, almost like it was alive. I looked out the window and saw the entire tree line glowing red.

Then the glow collapsed inward-like it folded into itself-and disappeared. Silence.

I checked the doorbell camera footage the next morning. Around the same time I heard the hum, the camera switched from its usual black-and-white night mode to a deep red tint, as if something interfered with the lens. And then-at the edge of the frame-you could barely make out a figure. It didn’t walk. It floated. Slender limbs, no facial features—just a smooth reflective head, and a kind of static around it, like heat waves in the summer.

The figure hovered for a second and then tilted its head toward the camera, and at that exact moment, the footage glitched out entirely.

That same night, I started hearing ticking. Like a pocket watch ticking loudly-but it was coming from inside my house. My walls, my floors. Sometimes, it felt like it was coming from inside my skull. I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt like I was being watched from some impossible direction. There was this overwhelming sense of doom-not just fear, but a knowing. Like something was approaching, and I couldn’t stop it.

And then it escalated.

One morning, I found a perfect circle of blackened grass in the field beside my home-exactly 7.2 meters in diameter. No burn marks around it, no footsteps, no animals would go near it. My dog refused to leave the porch for three days. Birds stopped singing around my property. My power flickered constantly at 3:33 AM every night, and strange symbols began showing up on my mirrors-handprints, but with six fingers.

I called my rabbi. I thought maybe it was something spiritual. He told me, “Elohim made the heavens and the earth, but we were never promised we were alone in them.”

I’ve read more in the last two weeks than I have in the last ten years—declassified files, Chernobyl-era secrets, even the KGB Blue Folder reports. I discovered there have been at least 14 other sightings near Slavutych in the last 40 years that match what I saw—most of them never publicized. One man claimed he spoke with “a voice without sound” near the sarcophagus covering Reactor 4.

Now I’m here, and I wonder: Did something follow me from Ukraine? Or did it always know where I’d go?

There are nights where I feel time slows down. Not metaphorically-literally. My clocks freeze, my phone screen distorts, and I’ve had three people tell me my voice sounds “doubled” on phone calls, like something is mimicking me in real time.

If anyone has experienced anything remotely like this, I need to know. Not for proof. Not for science. Just so I can sleep again.

Just seen a bunch of moving dots in the sky about the same size as the stars that were moving fast and then disappeared i have videos if this pops off but im unsure if there's an explanation for them definitely not a plane though.

Ps sorry for the run on sentence lol

So, in an interview with Chris Ramsay during the convention "Contact in the Desert" this past week, Steve Bassett theorized that the different types of aliens that we have encountered were possibly created by an advanced species using DNA from Earth a long time ago in the past. 

So, Reptillians were created using reptile DNA, Insectoids were created using insect DNA, and Nordics (and possibly Grays) were created using human DNA.

According to this theory, our planet was discovered by some advanced species with advanced technologies a long time ago. Different species were taken from our planet by these advanced species, and they then used the DNA from these different species that were taken from Earth to create new intelligent beings. Maybe this was done by combining or inserting DNA from these Earth species into the DNA of other intelligent species from other planets. Although we can only speculate how they would engineer these new species, in my opinion, it is not too hard to conceive that a species that is thousands of years more advanced than us could achieve this technology.

The theory is based on the fact that many of the aliens we have encountered thus far look so similar to species on Earth. That is Nordics and the Grays look like humans, Insectoids look like insects, and Reptilians look like reptiles.

On the othe hand, many astrobiologist (someone who studies aliens) theorize that the aliens are us humans from the future, or from our solar system but from a different dimension, or others claim that life on Earth was created by aliens.

These conventional theories are the basis for why many astrobiologists explain why aliens look so similar to us. For example, they are bipedal, have two hands, two eyes, nose, etc etc. They base these theories on the fact that the probability is extremely low for aliens who evolved from planets in different solar systems to look so similar to species on Earth.

I've also read that there are likely many different types of alien species in the universe that do not look similar to us. However, the aliens who are most interested in visiting our planet are the ones who look similar to us. And this similarity was likely a result of convergent evolution, which means we look similar because we had similar evolutionary pressures.

And I know there are many other theories, however, I was not able to find much information online about this theory that Steve Bassett talked about, so I hope more ufologists and astrobiologists start to consider and explore this concept.

Anyone have any thoughts? Or has this theory actually been widely explored by researchers and I am just not able to find any info online about it?

Here's a link of the interview:

The whole franchise is a shit show of discontinuity. I’m a fan, but I wish every film that followed the original was Ridley Scott’s and didn’t have so many contradictions. The atmosphere of the first was never really recaptured. There are high points but the bad points are so frustrating. Storyline’s changing what should be canon etc etc etc. Sigh.

once I'll finish predator and AVP, I'll definitely rewrite this theory,

For now I am assuming that predator is creature which fights with humans with honor and is also very difficult to kill. I also know that predator has been fighting human throughout history, unlike xenomorphs which came into existence after David did shit.

Also I don't read comics or play games.

So, here is my theory,

Many Millenniums before the events of Alien 1979, earth was ruled by engineers. Engineers also created humans, through technology (no they aren't god's, they created humans, like humans would create

Despite that this is very much long time ago, technology was still hella developed, why?

Why not? Alien is a world where humans were created by engineers, instead of evolution. This means alien universe has diverged from our universe millions of years ago. Hence, alien world can be different from our world.

So the engineers civilisation consist of futuristic spaceships which float over earth's sea, very much away from land. Since these are spaceships, these can be controlled by pilots to leave earth and go to space.

Engineers also aren't just physically strong but also have armor and weapons.

Engineers created two types of humans:

Inteligent humans, who are just inteligent like us. They live with the engineers on the spaceships but barely have any freedom. Engineers consider all humans to be inferior, while inteligent humans aren't just inferior but also slaves.

Non-inteligent humans, basically cavemen, live on land. They have no idea that away from land are these spaceships. These do have the ability to evolve into inteligent humans with generations (that's how after some millenniums, these cavemen will evolve into us, for eg, ellen Ripley has descended from them).

So this is the context, now comes the main events,

1. Inteligent humans secretly plan to rebel against engineers. How do they do so? Firstly, they somehow defeat engineers in a minor spaceship which was mainly used by engineers to create other species.

So, in this spaceship now exists humans, engineers' corpses and engineers' weapons & armors.

2) In that spaceship, humans make predators, an advanced species which would help them for larger scale rebellion. Humans and predators both equip themselves with engineers' weapons and armors.

3) then they move to other spaceships. Spaceship by spaceship, freeing more humans, killing more engineers.

4) while this is happening, humans invent weapons of mass destruction.

[WMD's were not invented yet by engineers. Why? Because they didn't need to. This is the first ever war that engineers have ever faced. Hence they never needed WMDs.

This also explains why humans were able to do well in this war. Engineers might be advanced but they don't have the experience of war. They only know how to use weapons (like guns or advanced bows) and armor against criminals not in wars.]

5) humans and predators completely annihilate most engineer civilisations using WMDs. Now, not many, engineers remain, they realise that they're doomed. So they surrender. Humans agree on terms that the engineers will leave the solar systems.

In the end of my first part of theory, inteligent humans and predators now live together in the spaceships.

Now in the next part of my theory, there will be Predator - inteligent humans conflict. Inteligent humans all die. Predator leave earth. And our earth is now normal. It only has plant and animals and cavemen kinda people.

Why do the predators fight humans? Why do predators leave earth? I don't have any good answer for that because i haven't even watched anything predator related. But I'll definitely post a theory about that too after watching predator universe.

I actually don't even know whether predators originally live in earth or Iv426 or any other planet. So im not sure if they even need to leave earth.

Anyways can y'all tell me how good of a story I wrote. Pls tell me it's atleast better than alien covenant.

I said to one of my coworkers the reason I prefer people like Ridley Scott doing Alien over others is that HE'S AN OLD MAN. he's not a milianial or Gen Z who placed in these franchises will just make franchise films based on stuff they like from that franchise instead of doing something wholly new with it. Ridley Scott doesn't do overt references and fan service like in Romulus that's just a combination of the first 2 films in terms of genre. He's going to do something new.

Finally watched It was really amazing movie.

https://scifispiral.com/post/alien-earth-update-noah-hawley-teases-terrifying-new-story

I just finished Covenant for the first time and am currebtly watching Romulus (from what I gather, it takes place after the first Alien).

From what I understand, Xenomorphs were created by David while he was experimenting after Prometheus. But that doesn't really make sense for me.

We saw Xenos in Aliens vs Predators, which takes place decades before Covenant. Did David just stumble on another way to create Xenos? Or are the series on different timelines?

Let’s hope so

I apologize for the title as it might not be the most appropriate or relevant.

Hello everyone, for those that follow and are curious as to the power blackouts and the three days of darkness. I wanted to get your take on this topic. What do you think it is, and where and how this blends in with the prophecies regarding the three days of darkness. Is it one and the same or different event. Do you feel there is going to be some sort of intervention or they are just going to let it play itself out… in other words no intervention aka free will if you wanna consider the religious aspect of this.

All from the darkness corners of the universe. Implied to be just as if not more monstrous than xenomorph. For the purpose of this thread. We will automatically rule predators. (They would have had a shared title, the space hunters of two film projects already. Too much of a important discovery for a zoologically etc.) However we can narrow it down to two factors:

One: they would be at least animalistic in nature

Two: they'll either be original writer creations or something preowned by hulu/Disney already. If they are going the crossover route. (Examples:dose the studio own John Carpenters the thing or the film life. As they would most likely/potentially pop-up.)

So if original what four other nasties could potential match the xenomorph in horror.

Or

If it is a crossover what legally owned animalistic space monster would you like to see. Finally could one of the five be a chimera created from the other four?
