WOW, now the staff of Ancient Aliens just took it the series to another level. The astonishing last episode "The NASA Connection" fired all their power at NASA secret agenda for cover up the existence of ancient intelligent extraterrestrial life forms in this solar system, the missions for retrieve their abandoned legacy in Mars and on the Moon. They used the blatant videos of STS-48 and STS-75 for present irrefutable evidence of extraterrestrial intelligent controlled objects in Earth's orbit and the interesting part is that nothing less than FOUR big shots of NASA did participate of this episode: Buzz Aldrin, Edgard Mitchell, Story Musgrave and David Morrion.

One example, the Mercury mission patch:
They say this represents the ancient Egyptian Ankh symbol:
Well, not really, it represents the symbol for the planet Mercury:

Someone posted something like this before, but the feeling I get watching these shows is:

I haven't watched the videos but this jumped out at me in your summary. The Golden Dawn was not Crowley's. While he was briefly a member he started the A∴A∴ and the O.T.O. That's one of the big problems with the show. It seems like that they don't have any kind of fact checkers working for them in any way and instead it is composed of what one person heard from somebody else and instead of doing any kind of verification they just present it as is even though it's wrong.

You're right that Crowley did not create the Golden Dawn and that Crowley created the A∴A∴ -- but Crowley did not create the OTO. Crowley took over the OTO.
But you're right, the series does not always have good fact-checkers.

Any evidence is circumstantial. A few times in the past I have made my views regarding the ET hypothesis known, but I guess I can do it again. Personally, I find the ET hypothesis to be the worst thing to ever happen to ufology. What started out as a group of people trying to turn this interesting mystery into a legitimate field of science has now become a New Age religion. Instead of actually trying solve the mystery people are now starting with the premise that these objects are aliens, with no real proof, and are pretty much trying to outcrazy their contemporaries.
The truth is that the ET hypothesis is just as weak an explanation as any other hypothesis that has been put forward. For one it pretty much ignores all cases of high strangeness. I personally find Keel's ultraterrestrial hypothesis and Vallee's extradimensional hypothesis to be the most satisfying. However, even these fail to actually provide empirical evidence for their claims. On top of that even if such phenomena were proven to exist it does not mean that they visited ancient man and influenced his progress.
This actually brings up a key problem with Ancient Aliens' methodology. Before one can even begin to hypothesize that aliens visited humans in the past one must first prove aliens are visiting us now. This has not been done. On top of basing their conclusion on an unproven premise they also established their conclusion before doing any kind of data collection. If you believe that aliens visited ancient man and you go out looking for evidence to support this you're going to find it. However, you're going to ignore the evidence that contradicts your predrawn conclusion. This is known as a confirmation bias and AAT is riddled with them.

# The logo of Apollo program, with the Orion belt placed in the middle of the "A", is actually a reference to ASAR aka Osiris. Apollo the Greek "sun-god" is the SAME Marduk of Sumerians and Amon-Ra of Egyptians. Osiris is grandson or great-grandson of Amon-Ra.
# NASA founding fathers were Freemasons, and the guys ahead of Mercury and Apollo program were 33° Scottish Rite Freemasons and high-rank members of Aleister Crowley's Golden Dawn.
# Werner Von Braun was an initiated in Egyptian mysteries.
# Pertinent mention to Russian cosmonauts of Salyut 7, who contacted 7 extraterrestrial beings wearing space suits.
# Final conclusion that NASA is 100% ruled by Illuminati Freemasons with a secret agenda for hide the existence of intelligent alien civilizations from mankind.
The entire episode was way above the media or all seasons. Most likely it was the most bold episode they have made EVER.edit on 3/10/2012 by 1AnunnakiBastard because: (no reason given)

What about professional scientists and academics that have looked into the phenomena of UFOS and are in fact believers that there is something going on with the phenomena other than gullible fools mistaking Venus for the Millennium Falcon? People such as Jacques Vallee, J. Allen Hynek, Paul Hill, John Mack have looked into the phenomena and wrote many thoughtful and, particularly in the case of former NASA employee Paul R. Hill, very scientific books. I think it is great that people go to college and get an education, however when people take that to the extreme, like you seem to be doing, and say that "only people who go to college and obtain degrees have opinions that matter" is just silly. That is just as silly as saying that "only people who wear funny hats and robes and go to the catholic church converse with god." Things change all the time. The only thing that does not change is the fact that people resist it, because they have spent their entire adult lives building up a personality and world view that makes them feel comfortable and anything that challenges those BELIEFS, whether it be a new scientific concept/theory or religion will result in a violent attack in a vain attempt to keep those walls up around them. The concept of alien life is the perfect example of an idea that will quickly divide a room, and NO ONE can say for sure either way. To me it seems nothing more than a modern day "zen" question. Is the glass half empty or half full? Is the universe expanding or coming to an end sooner rather than later? It is a question that makes some feel hopeful and less alone and hints at something extraordinary and others just roll their eyes and look for the next pleasurable experience "knowing" that only the grave awaits them.

Talk about fuzzy logic! So let's go with your analogy, if previous president's claimed they saw a unicorn, if some of the most respected American's claimed they have seen unicorn's, if there was official audio and video of government officials seeing and talking about said unicorns, if there was library's of pictures and video's of unicorn's, if there was a proven coverup by our government to hide the existence of unicorn's, if other government's started releasing their own evidence of unicorn's, if there was copious amount's of historical information pointing to the existence of unicorns......I could do this all day by the way! If after all this you still decided that unicorn's were the imagination of unsettled minds than I would also say to you enjoy life in your bubble of denial! Good day to you sir!......or ma'am!
