The first UFO visited Earth 780,000 years ago

Over the past few decades, many cases of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have been known, but we all wonder when it really all started. When was the first UFO sighting in history?

Most people have heard of the sighting of Kenneth Arnold's flying saucer in 1947 or the famous crash of an aircraft in Roswell in the same year. Since then, a long list of UFO incidents has made headlines around the world, starting with a strange story about how Travis Walton was teleported aboard an alien spacecraft, and ending with US Navy pilots capturing an unidentified hypersonic object on their cameras..

Unidentified flying objects and unidentified aerial phenomena they are increasingly making headlines. The US Department of Defense has begun to involve other countries, such as Japan, to create an allied sky monitoring network for abnormal visitors. One of the former defense specialists who worked in the US government UFO Program (AATIP), Luis Elizondo, even mentioned the possible ancient roots of this phenomenon in a popular show on the History Channel. How far into the history of our planet do these meetings and manifestations go?

The answer can shock anyone.

It seems that the first extraterrestrial object in our sky was noticed not by modern humans, but by our evolutionary ancestors, the archaic hominins Homo erectus, about 780,000 years ago!

During a series of NASA studies, it was found that about 780,000 years ago, a strange object arrived from the depths of space. This body was kilometers across and had to move at a speed of more than 32186 km per hour, which is typical for large cosmic bodies moving through the Solar System (some move many times faster).

When a large body is rushing towards the Earth at such colossal speeds, two possible scenarios are possible: either the object will fly past under the influence of the gravity of our planet, or it will collide with the surface. The second scenario is cataclysmic in nature.

However, during NASA research, it was discovered that the object was parked in orbit, as if it could somehow slow down.

Although some very small, car-sized, rocky bodies may temporarily be in Earth's orbit, our planet is simply not massive enough to have such an impact on something several kilometers in diameter.

Jupiter and Saturn, for example, have an amazing gravitational pull and are known to deflect flying comets, but this does not happen with the small rocky worlds of the inner Solar system.

The oddities don't end there.

Tektites are a class of impactite rocks, which are small melted pieces of light green, dark green, sometimes black, whitish or yellow glass of various shapes, most often with characteristic inclusions in the form of gas bubbles: 435. They are of meteoritic, asteroid or cometary origin.

After an indefinite period of stay in orbit, the strange guest underwent a prolonged process of overheating or self-melting, as a result of which he turned into glass.

Then drops of frozen liquid glass rained down on a huge area of the Earth, from Antarctica to Southern China. Chemical analysis of the found debris showed that whatever this thing was, it once consisted of 75% quartz crystal, a material that occupies a central place in our information processing technologies, as well as a significant amount of aluminum, iron, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, potassium oxide and various trace elements.

Interestingly, many of them are compounds with properties potentially important for the design of spacecraft.

None of the known natural space visitors, whether comets, meteorites or asteroids, has ever consisted of more than 60% silica. In more than one study, scientists suggest that the object contains traces of isotopes indicating an interstellar origin, potentially making it the first ever scientifically recorded guest of our Solar System.

It is thanks to a detailed analysis of a glass-like fragment called australite tektite that we have learned so much about this inexplicable ancient traveler from the other world. To this day, after a century of research, no one knows exactly what it was, where it came from and how it ended up in orbit before exploding, which made this original body the first ever recorded unidentified flying object.

Some researchers tried to explain the mystery of the australite, referring to the collision of a huge asteroid somewhere in Southeast Asia, others argued that this was the result of a piece of the Moon breaking off and flying in our direction. These hypotheses have been discussed for decades, and although each of them has convincing merits, unfortunately, both cannot explain the observed facts.

The advantage of the lunar hypothesis is that it explains how a glass-like substance could fall on us from space. If an asteroid collided with the lunar surface and smashed a lot of molten rock, it is possible that some of the resulting tektite material will get to us. This idea eventually fell away after it was discovered that the Moon was not made of the type of material that could match the fragments of australite.

The Earth impact hypothesis convincingly proves that glass contains compounds that may correspond to some mixed shales on Earth. Could a fast-moving object hit us hard enough in the right place to explain the huge debris field and unusual glass formation?

Although this model remains popular, the answer is no. NASA studies have clearly shown that the so-called australite buttons formed in space during a period of prolonged heating before gradually entering the atmosphere. They not only contain practically no water, but even contain solid vacuum bubbles.

Perhaps the most problematic of all this is that, according to observations, with reference to the well-accepted Stokes law for the friction force of liquids, the tektite glass had to be heated in a special way, as a result of which most of the bubbles were removed and a very homogeneous material remained.

Upon impact, the release of energy is extremely powerful, but at the same time short-lived. Such rapid heating and cooling would lead to the formation of glass with a large number of bubbles, and the material would not be homogeneous.

Some pieces must have inclusions of partially molten rock or various elements from the diverse geological composition of the impact site. In short, prolonged heating and oxidation of the starting material for Australites is simply impossible to attribute to impact without violating established physical laws.

If this is not a broken piece of the Moon or some known natural object that crashed into our planet, then what could it be?

Incredibly, many of our astrobiologists and astronomers openly declare that one day our world will be visited by postbiological alien artificial intelligence, extraterrestrial beings existing in the form of huge mobile silicon networks. Maybe one of these super-advanced entities has already paid a visit to Earth, and our distant ancestors Homo erectus watched their huge silica networked ships spinning above their heads in the night sky?

The anomalous heating process that led to the formation of this highly refined and homogeneous material of tektite australite could well be the result of a critical failure in the exotic drive technology that allowed this alien intelligence to move around our galaxy.

In addition, it is intriguing that 780,000 years ago our planet experienced the last recorded complete geomagnetic reversal. Complete switching of the north and south magnetic poles.

Could this deep planetary energy shift have something to do with the world's first recorded UFO and the events that led to its destruction?

It is worth noting that what happened could not have been a banal accident caused by a technical breakdown. The civilization that created such ships is hardly capable of allowing such breakdowns.

Who knows... maybe it was a deliberate "seeding" of our planet by the mind? If the design of the ship was a matrix for storing information, then it is likely that the same light was shed on our planet and our wild primitive ancestors, like that brought by Prometheus, but this fire was not destroying, but opening the eyes of reason to us humans.

Maybe it was this event that turned monkeys into humans, and not the notorious fictional "evolution" of Mr. Darwin.
