Aliens, gods and under the water

 My missus has been glued to the tele this weekend watching alien progs on the History Channel and one of them recounted lots of tales about U.F.O.'s (or more to the point U.S.O.'s-Unidentified Submerged Objects) rising from the sea in various parts of the world and flying about. Santa Catalina off Los Angeles being one, Puerto Rico near the Bermuda Triangle another and an incident involving the Norwegian navy tracking one and firing on it in a Fjord.
   So on a spiritual slant, a lot of the commentary linked such sightings with the myth of Atlantis and the fact that the aliens have an underwater civilisation . I have no problem with this idea and it is far from illogical. Especially when all ancient religions or spiritualities mention the Deluge or Flood and this is the cataclysm relating to Atlantis.
       One can also bend the boundaries a bit more and wander into faerie lore. Are faerie experiences alien encounters (some anyway) or vice versa. That faeries sometimes enter this world from the Otherworld and spend time here is one thing but do we sometimes mistake aliens for faeries. Or do we sometimes mistake faeries for aliens 
       To take this point further I would comment on another television programme I have seen today discussing the Nasca Desert lines. Only. visible from the air and with tops of mountains flattened nearby ( alien runways????) and more specifically what appears to be a spaceman come god figure carved in the desert ( only visible from the air)  these drawings and the evidence gained from remains of the tribe point towards the worship of gods from above.
        Then one must ask what happened when Atlantis fell.   Were the human inhabitants forced to find new lands while their 'alien gods' chose to dwell beneath the sea.   There are many legends relating to places where the Atlanteans ended up, resulting in Egyptian, Mayan and Greek cultures, not to forget the celtic ones.  The invasions of ancient Ireland I find most poignnant. Are the Tuatha De Danaan survivors of Atlantis?  Try reading 'Uriel's Machine' where theories are put forward that Newgrange was very important in terms of spitital training. Did prophets from the Holy Land receive training in the west?
          As for the Tuatha De Danaan they now no longer dwell in the human world but live in the land of the Sidhe in faerie mounds. This is true of most celtic faeries but the Otherworld also has water related entrances. Ther have been countless offerings thrown into lakes and who knows how many thrown into the sea. To the celts the Otherworld can be found 'beyond the ninth wave' and there are many tales of voyages to the 'Blessed Isles'.   Food for thought I think. 
     The bottom line is that our spiritual being is linked to somethiing. We feel it. We all need a story. The question is.............
Which stories are true?
