Those strange things in the sky and on the ground

This recent alien peeping Tom story (which I suspect to be a publicity hoax) prompted me to finally blog about UFOs and other media-popular mystery phenomena, which indigenous elders are often questioned about knowledge and opinion-wise.

Many indigenous cultures do include direct knowledge about and encounters with such phenomena, which is why I often like to listen to programs like Coast to Coast to compare what is mysterious and puzzling to non-indigenous westerners to that which is taken for granted by Indigenous American traditionalists.

Star people, fur children, and UFOs

The ancient Hindu Sanskrit texts tell tales of flying machines called vimanas and beings that fly them. Some regard them as purely myth while others regard them as part of the technology of an ancient world era that eventually disappeared.

Some Indigenous American cultures believe that their ancient ancestors came from the stars to colonize on Grandmother Earth and traveled here in what they describe as the "bellies of large shiny birds".

Some other Indigenous American cultures believe that human beings are the progeny of one race of star people that traveled to Grandmother Earth in what they describe as "the wombs of great birds", who eventually implanted their seed in the eight races of fur children that Grandmother Earth originally gave birth to out of the soil mixed with her water-filled womb. The star people are said to have sowed their seed through the winds and waters of Grandmother Earth that the fur children breathed and drank. However, the star people eventually departed from Grandmother Earth because the elements of her breath made them sick.

The progeny of the star people and the fur children resembled more the star people in form, but maintained some of the features of the seven distinct races of the original fur children. One race of fur children had been very tall and another very short. They were the fewest among the original races of fur children and their progeny eventually merged with the other six races that were the progeny of the star people and Grandmother Earths fur children.

Like with the other creatures that were born out of the womb of Grandmother Earth, there were few elements of her breath that made her original fur children sick. However, as a result of being half star people by blood, the progeny of the star people and the fur children, which are what we know as human beings today, are more susceptible to the maladies that the star ancestors were afflicted with while they lived on Grandmother Earth. That is why human beings as we know ourselves today are prone to suffer more illnesses, birth defects, and other physical and mental maladies than any other creature native to this earth, and why many women are prone to have more pain and complications with child-bearing than any other of Grandmother Earth´s creatures.

On the other hand and as already indicated, the fur children, particularly the males, had a much more predatory and aggressive nature than the star people, which is a trait their progeny mankind inherited.

Prior to the "marriage" between the star people and the fur children, the various races of fur children lived in their own regions of the world, but under some circumstances such as migration, would come into contact with one another. However, unlike the human race today, their bodies were able to resist most of the regional diseases of the other when they came into contact.

It is said that the star people sowed their seed in the wombs of the physically stronger fur children because the fur children thought and acted more like wild animals that could not be tamed to perform labor for the star people, such as the mining of minerals that they needed. However, the human progeny of the two races of beings were able to both think and act accordingly.

When the star people realized that they could not permanently survive in Grandmother Earth´s environment, they passed on their wisdom, ways and tools to their "human" children and left them to develop further on their own. And by that time, hardly any fur children continued to exist.

These oral traditions also teach that the the star people came from the other wing of the great infinite eagle and colonized other worlds as well, including one close to Grandmother Earth, but which had no fur or other people on it. The star people eventually had to abandon that world due to its natural life sustaining elements dying a slow death, but that they left some of their great monuments behind as they did on Grandmother Earth. The monuments were said to have been charged with great powers and served multiples purposes.

The ancestors have also taught that Grandmother Earth has gone through many great changes and cataclysms since the time she came into being, and that most of the tools that the star people left behind for their human progeny vanished as a result of one such great cataclysm. Those humans that survived the great cataclysm viewed the event and their survival as a sign that they were to begin a new simpler life more in line and harmony with the simpler creatures of the earth, which is why most formed and elected to exist in tribal-like societies instead of great civilizations as their ancestors had previously. However, certain members of those societies were charged with keeping the sacred wisdom and knowledge of the history of the ancestors and passing it on from generation to generation.

It is said that the star people continue to observe life on Grandmother Earth from a distance, and that beings from other worlds observe and visit Grandmother Earth as well to observe her life forms and to partake of some of her elements. These beings are described as "ant people" and "snake people".

The indigenous ancestors named them that because the ant people are said to have heads and facial features that resemble those of the ant, and the snake people are said to have skin that resembles that of the snake.









The ant people and the snake people also travel across about the great infinite eagle and its worlds in the wombs of birds that appear as shining eggs, and others that resemble the form of a black wing.

It is said that the ant people and the snake people sometimes communicate and interact with those earth people that hold the knowledge of the star people and the ancient ways, but that the character and personality of the ant people and the snake people is more different from the character and personality earth people than the difference in character and perception is between a great, educated, civilization aristocrat and a simple man without formal education who lives an indigenous lifestyle.

It is said that these beings are able to fly and travel in their "birds" about Grandmother Earth and beyond without being noticed except in rare cases when they will to be noticed, or when something goes awry temporarily with their technology. Although they are very different, their wisdom and technology is beyond the imagination of ordinary men, and their nature is peaceful and non-intervening in relation to the evolution of humanity.

It is said that there is another race of star people who are monolithic in size and that they cannot walk upon worlds the size of Grandmother Earth without causing damage.

Indioheathen says that if such beliefs and stories are more than just legend, they perhaps explain some of the mysteries that some people see about the skies, and explain some of the ancient structures and other phenomena deemed mysterious by western and civilized minds.

Ufologists and other non-indigenous people proport all kinds of assertions and theories about what those strange things reported in the skies are and where they come from. Although you can find plenty of skeptical debunkers of him on Google searches, one of the most fascinating UFO-related accounts comes from that of Bob Lazar who claims to have been a engineer at Area 51.

Any government that has concrete evidence and possession of anything of an intelligent extraterrestrial nature on and about this earth is not going to reveal it to the public because it wants to keep the technology to itself for various reasons, and is concerned about emotional panic over it on the part of various segments of the world population. However and needless to say, even the house of government and its intelligence agencies are not immune to leaks.

Mysterious Earth creatures

The investigation of legendary critters is called cryptozoology. The most popular ones that usually come to mind first and foremost these days are Sasquatch and his Himalayan cousin the Yeti, and Scotland´s Loch Ness Monster.

"Sasquatch" is the Salishan word for "big foot". Non-indigenous people have claimed sightings of this primate/Neanderthal-like creature all around the western half of Canada and the United States. Some indigenous people I know in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia say that have seen a Sasquatch at least once in their lifetime and those that have not take their existence for granted anyway because their ancestors have handed down knowledge about this species of fur people for thousands of years.

Sasquatch are said not too be very numerous; generally live in small clans in remote forests far away from people and civilizations, and are generally docile unless provoked.

Indigenous traditionalists of the Pacific northwest are very protective of Sasquatch in the way that they don't like to talk about them with non-indigenous people much and don´t want anyone trying to "discover" or bother them.

Sasquatch are also said not to be as smart as humans but wiser than a wolf, bear, or whale. They communicate with one another with various vocal sounds but don't speak a human-like language. The don't smell very good except after bathing in a lake or pond.





The indigenous traditionalists of the Pacific northwest also believe in the existence of the thunderbird. Like Sasquatch, they are not numerous and live about in very remote areas, but on rare occasions are still sighted by Indians and anyone else who happens to be in the right place at the right time.

If the Loch Ness Monster exists, it is most likely some sort of rare sturgeon or a descendant of some prehistoric aquatic creature believed to have become extinct around the time of the great cataclysm involving the dinosaurs.

Then there are some of the other legendary creatures such as chupacabras and mothman, which could be real, imagined, or just cases of mistaken identity species-wise.

Crop Circles

There are a lot of people out there that make their living off of selling the paranormal and want you to believe that crop circles are signs, symbols and coded messages from extraterrestrials, apparently including the ones that look like Mickey Mouse. I admit that the real elaborate ones are pretty convincing, but they are nevertheless created by human crop circle artists who either own the land they show up on, or who pay the owners of those fields a fee to create their works of art on and to keep their mouths shut about it. Most of them "crop up" in Great Britain because that´s where the greatest concentration of crop circle artists are based.
