These artworks, spanning millennia, have long been subjects of intrigue. Ancient Aliens, the renowned series, has scoured our world, seeking out these perplexing pieces of rock art that hint at the possibility of extraterrestrial visits in our planet’s past.

 

In the vast deserts of Northwestern Australia, Kimberley’s region conceals caves adorned with puzzling paintings. Here, the mysterious Wandjina figures emerge with their distinctive large white faces, pronounced black eyes, and halo-like fields around their heads. To the indigenous Australians who’ve inhabited the continent for thousands of years, these Wandjina figures are intrinsically linked to their creation myths. These tales speak of powerful sky beings who sculpted the land and, after their monumental tasks, vanished into the heavens. Strikingly, the physical attributes of these Wandjina are reminiscent of the descriptions associated with modern accounts of gray aliens.

The American Southwest also holds a treasure trove of such perplexing petroglyphs. The sheer cliffs of Nine Mile Canyon in Eastern Utah, known as the world’s longest art gallery, carry the weight of over 10,000 petroglyphs. Amidst the myriad of carvings, the “family panel” stands out. This depiction presents luminous humanoid figures donning what seem to be spacesuits, helmets, and antennas. Native legends from the Navajo, Fremont, and Ute tribes that have inhabited the region for centuries hint that these figures are celestial visitors.

Horseshoe Canyon in Utah adds another layer of mystery. This canyon is adorned with a section referred to as the “ghost panel.” This artwork showcases towering figures in garments strikingly similar to modern-day spacesuits. The most captivating detail is a curious dual perspective depicted on the head of the central figure, a style unparalleled in prehistoric art.

These petroglyphs, whether in Australia or the United States, echo a universal theme prevalent across countless indigenous cultures: stories of star people or celestial beings descending from the skies. These beings impart knowledge, assist native peoples, and occasionally, they’re immortalized in stone.

The question that lingers is this: Are these mere myths, products of human imagination and creativity, or are they chronicles of actual encounters? Perhaps, these etchings and paintings serve as humanity’s earliest records of meetings with beings from beyond the stars.
