Were you an alien in your past life?

Found this article at Weekly World News, and thought it was a bit entertaining, but at the same time wondered if it had some genuineness to it. I am sure some of you have seen it, but let me know what you think otherwise; I personally came up with a 50/50 ratio...

Take from Were you an alien in a past life?

Over 25 million Americans have lived on another planet, a top sociologist says, and now there’s a simple test to reveal if you are one of them! Dr. Wallace Trantham says he has hypnotized hundreds of subjects and found that a significant percentage of people remember living on another planet before their existence here on Earth. Based on his experience, he believes that one out of 10 Americans are born-again aliens. “These people describe experiences on a variety of planets ranging from dry desert spheres to cold, sunless moons to lush, vegetation-covered places somewhat like our Earth,” says Dr. Trantham, a New Yorker who is writing a book on his theories. “These people have no conscious memory of their space alien lives, but exhibit distinctive characteristics that reveal their alien past.” People who answer yes to three or more of these twelve questions have almost certainly lived on another planet: 1. Do you have out-of-body experiences and/or a frequent sense of having experienced something before? Both phenomena are probably memories of your other-world life breaking through. 2. Do you have a great love of animals? This probably stems from your unconscious knowledge that life comes in different varieties, including the form you took yourself on another planet. 3. Do you love fruit and/or vegetables? The diet of most aliens excludes meat. In your earthly life, then, you continue to show a preference for the foods you were used to eating as an alien. 4. Do you have a fear of telephones? Extraterrestrials are used to communicating with mental telepathy and mechanical instruments like the telephone boggle them. You still have this subconscious discomfort with the telephone. 5. Do you suffer from thinning hair or baldness? Most extraterrestrials are hairless and you carry vestiges of that trait into Earthly life. 6. Do you have dental problems or problems with your tongue and throat? Extraterrestrials usually have very small mouths, so in earthly life they have trouble with their mouths and throats. 7. Do you dislike wearing clothes? Are you happiest when you’re stripped down to a bathing suit or nothing at all? That’s because in your extraterrestrial life, you wore no clothing. 8. Are you not particularly wild about sex? You probably got this trait from your otherworldy life in which reproduction is a sexless process. 9. Do you crave sesame seeds or egg yolks? Both these foods contain vitamin T, a nutrient that helps born-again aliens in the forming of badly need blood platelets. 10. Are you obsessively clean? Alien worlds are usually germ-free and immaculate. In earthly life, aliens have a great deal of trouble dealing with dirt. 11. Are you unemotional? This is a carryover from the super rational, unemotional mentality of the extraterrestrial. 12. Do you snore? Aliens often make a purring sound much like a human snore. For those readers who recorded three or more yes’s, Dr. Trantham said not to worry. “Who you were in the past does not control who you are in the present. You can continue living your everyday life as normal.”

The weekly world news is not a good source. I wouldn't believe anything they said and if that's your only source, then we might as well believe in batboy, easter bunnies, and tooth faeries.

How did they come up with that one?

Hehe, I just thought it was kind of amusing that's all. I'm not saying this is evidence of anything, just was wondering if anyone has ever heard of anything like this other than reading it from this source. I should have clarified

Well, I believe I was somewhere else before this life on this planet. So I guess I am an alien. As a spirit being in essence, I am not of any planet, so I suppose when I am born into a body on any planet, I am an "alien".

I can say yes to alot of the questions, But I truly know I'm not an
alien, do you know what an alien really is? where it came from, where it is now? Pray your not an alien in the true sense!!!

I don't know about past lives. It would seem possibly not. All I know is that in this life I feel like an alien on a planet full of apes regardless of my lack of baldness.

Hilarious and obviously b-s. How is this person the most informed person on aliens in the world - and if he had been one he would have had the same memory lapses as the rest of us - yes I was one before here, or something, lol.

WWN should be taken with a grain of salt. It's just entertainment just like The Onion however I think I may have been an alien in a past life, I snore a lot. I think WWN is a fun site to visit and it is always a good laugh. I like the fact that posters talk about WWN so we can all take a break from the great to read but serious topics that are on ATS. If you are someone who does take WWN seriously just step back and just realize the parody of this tabloid.

Thanks for posting this story. Time to contact my alien brothers and see if Bat-boy wants to be my wing man tonight.

I suppose I snore, but I can also purr... really purr, I mean.

Does that make me an alien?

Wow! This article is complete garbage, and coming from weekly world news doesn't help in the least bit. How do they know anything about alien life and how they live if there isn't even a clear consensus if they are real or not? Maybe we should get these guys a camera and tell them to snap some pictures of their buddies since they know them so well. That would end the debate then and there.

haha, that article is the biggest load of bull Ive ever read, well maybe not ever.

if it even is a real article and not a made up one, such as some this site has published.

this guy is trying to attribute physical things, some of which are based on upbringing to spiritual concepts of reincarnation.

got a good giggle out of this however.

Well I answered yes to many questions, but I don't think I'm an alien. I think I just prefer fruits and vegies because they are good for me and I like the way they taste.

perfectly said kyred
i believe this as well and therefore in the sense of the word I am an "alien" as well, as is everyone else!

im just VERY CURIOUS how the sociologist or whatever CAME UP WITH THESE ANSWERS...
how on EARTH (or other planets) does he know what aliens do, there social life, there hygeine, there mentality
lol basing questions off of NO REAL communication with them.
crock of #

HOLY CRAP, i answered yes to everyone but the last, but i dont know if i snore or not because ive never heard myself sleeping and havent cared enough to ask anyone.
But holy #, i know they're just really open questions that everyone can relate to, but thats damn weird. this guy that wrote the article probably is some psychic who makes mad cash and works for WWN as an offjob
