Do we read anything into this being on a channel called 'Blaze' in the UK whereas here in the colonies it's on the History channel?

channels on Freeview terrestial tv come and go and change names. On Blaze there are shows like "Alaska: Mysteries unsolved" "Curse of the Skin walker Ranch", "Legends of the Pharoes" "American Restoration" - seems to a yank show about restoring old things like a 1930's photo booth. to name a few. There used to be a History Channel long gone. All these off beat tv channels are wanting eyeballs for their adverts, so the identify an audience for a time

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

Yeah all of those are History channel in the states. I just meant it was probably telling that we yanks are supposed to consider them history while in the UK they're something to watch when blazing.

well lots of channel names like Yesterday, PBS America, Quest, a whole series of Great! /movies/action/tv/romance that maybe around for a few months or a year. Why Blaze who knows just sounds exciting all competing for eyeballs? There was/is a channel mostly dealing with rednecks doing the wilderness game in Alaska, worrying about finding a moose to see them over winter etcI rarely watch any of the stuff

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

@Lighton, the goal was to do a discussion split and focus the conversation in on Ancient Aliens, and leave the Blaze TV conversation in General Discussions where it was, (because it derails the conversation) then connect this forum to the Next-Ep Ancient Aliens show page. 

Like this:

https://next-episode.net/ancient-aliens
https://forum.next-episode.net/viewforum.php?id=97

Maybe just undo everything, and leave the Blaze TV conversation back in general discussions and keep this forum dedicated to discussing Ancient Aliens episodes.

(Note: This show is not a Blaze TV show, it's a History Channel show, Blaze TV is just piggy backing off the content, like Amazon or Tubi, etc.)

31

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

I updated the thread title/ removed Blaze. There's no undo button, so let's leave it like this. merc did say he mostly wanted to discuss this show anyway.

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

The only trouble with this is  that "Ancient Aliens" was just one part of the UFO story that Blaze was boadcasting, dealing with more contemporary matters not part of that show so I think the title should be broadened to include "Contemporary Aliens" or "Modern Aliens"

Ya, ugh, this forum is such a mess, that's why I was suggesting we split the thread, like where you started talking about Puma Punko - S04E06 of Ancient Aliens could be an interesting break off point for all the viewers of Next-Ep to have an outlet to rant about Ancient Aliens because ranting and throwing things at your TV is why you watch Ancient Aliens in the first place, lolz, and have another more broad forum in General Discussions for all the UFO/Bob Lazar/Aliens/Paranormal/Unexplained TV shows that use the 'pseudoscientific' method.  Ancient Aliens needs it's own forum as half the show is viewing beautiful historical places and the other half is listening to wacky theories about it, lolz, big_smile, which could become a fun discussion here with our own wacky theories.  I suppose the problem is that at this point, the show is already 13 years old, and the conversation would be more of a rehash.

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

well I watched a great eps today:"Space Station Moon" Hilarious. So the fact that there can be a total eclipse of the sun by the moon due to distances and sizes being just righr,meaning the moon 100% covers the sun, for the "ancient alien theorests" is proof the moon was put there by some one. Furthermore the fact that all the craters are fairly shallow, no real deep ones, shows that there must be some thing really hard underneath the dust - must be a hollow metal shell so the moon is reallly a VERY  large space ship with probably aliens cities inside. That the dust is made of certain minerals is just what you would use to protect from meteorites and also conceal the prescence of the ship. These shows are the best "X files" quite literally "The Truth is out there"

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

Blaze TV in the UK  still showing lots of Alien Files :Unsealed episodes. One thing that was useful info. Remember the "Men in Black" films? Well that idea was not just am invention of some film producer but is part of the Alien conspiracy theory lore with these secretive men impeccably dressed in black suits,  some of them govt agents hushing up the existance of aliens and others actually the aliens themselves moving amongst us. Actual grainy videos of them were shown

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

@merc, ya I remember that episode about Men in Black, you'll find that a lot of Steven Spielberg films simply over dramatize actual stories, like Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the crystal skull and the real crystal skulls found throughout the world and talked about in Ancient Aliens 6x2:

To Close Encounters of the Third kind (and the Fire in the Sky movie) to the real story of the Travis Walton abduction talked about in Ancient Aliens 5x9:

To E.T. to his TV series Taken and so on and so forth.  It's like Steven pulls from all the national enquirer accounts and makes movies about them, as suggested in Men in Black, lolz.

yes these film makers would not get any where without this load of Alen conspiracy theory lore. I used to wonder at their imaginations, now much deprecated..

Until you realize that the intelligence services puts out this kind of nonsense all the time to delegitimize dissidents and tinfoil hats not to mention the obscure chance that e.g. Russia or China picks up on this story and waste resources on it.

No, that's what intelligence services do, James Bond ain't real, it's a game of seeding false narratives and retrieving real information.

Do you not get the History Channel across the pond?  Just wondering how it's possible to miss Ancient Aliens.

Ancient Aliens, The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, Alone, and The Curse of Oak Island are all fun History Channel shows. 

https://next-episode.net/alone - This season just started:  Here's the cast.  I'm cheering for Lee Ray DeWilde.

https://next-episode.net/the-secret-of-skinwalker-ranch

https://next-episode.net/the-curse-of-oak-island

Mysteries of the Abandoned and Mysteries from Above are also along the same lines as Ancient Aliens, as you get to see interesting sites, but without the alien narrative:

https://next-episode.net/mysteries-of-the-abandoned

https://thetvdb.com/series/mysteries-from-above  Santah doesn't have 'Mysteries from Above' from Cottage Life listed on Next-Episode for some reason but it's a cool show as you get to see places with an interesting story associated with the site:

I agree it is the places but also artefacts and the myths (reinterpreted)  that make  these shows worth a look. And of course there is that wild haired presenter  who him self is definitely not of this earth!

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

Just watched one of the craziest episodes ever on Blaze TV called Ancient Aliens: Ultimate Evidence: Alien Power supplies. SO the pyramids were really a some kind of source for laser energy. Water pumped into the base made the thing vibrate and in the chambers acid and hyrogenated zinc were mixed to produce hydrogen and this some how created l.a.s.e.r. Further more all the  obelisks were part of a world wide energy transfer system after Teslas experiments ( he was sent to earth by the aliens to try and encourage this in our time but failed) with transmitting power -because they are granite they have quartz crystals in them and have the piezo  effect sucking in magentic energy. AND to top it all there is evidence the ancients had nuclear reactors as there is a ancient site with lots of skeletons that is radioactive indicating a meltdown in the past.  Do you think that Giorgio Tsoukalos  really believes this shite or is just a good showman and realises he can keep himself in a job for life? ( how many years has this been  running now?)

Re: Ancient Aliens [Documentary, Pseudoscience]

Another good-bad eps was one discussing the multitude of pyramids  you find around the world - Middle east, south/central America, india China , they are EVERYWHERE. The good - the images, the bad -  many of the Ancient Alien Theorists jumped on this claiming they must have all been taught by the same source and CLEARLY not terrestial. One sole voice ( that they should have edited out ) was a physicist from a California Uni pointed out that the only way to  build tall in those days was to have a large base compared to what you wanted to build if you wanted a tall building ie some kind of pyramid. So pyramids was a universal and only soln in those days that various people around the worlds came to independantly. The producer  of the show ( Giorgio of the stange hair ) didnt seem to realise they were makng asses of them selves with their shoddy  "analysis"
