Aren’t these the genre of tv programmes that would have us believe that extraterrestrials travelled to the peoples living deep in the South American jungle 5,000 yrs ago, built some pyramids, then left to return during the early 13th Century when they used lasers to cut stones in perfect lines assisting the Inca masons to build more temples and settlements; then finally left leaving no other signs whatsoever of their visit… or anything to help advance their ‘development’… or technology to protect them from the Spanish?

Would these also be the programmes that tell us the same extraterrestrials visited the ancient Egyptians, built some pyramids in the desert at a time thousands of years before Cairo appeared and again left leaving no other signs of their visit?

4,500 yrs later humans developed the industry and technology enabling us to go from the first powered flight to the first landing on Mars in a mere 68 years (1903-1971) primarily, as the story goes, by a 9 year old James Watt watching his Auntie’s kettle boil back in 1745.

Just imagine what we would have been capable of if those same extraterrestrials had visited the developing civilisations elsewhere in the world at the same times and given us a little more knowledge than a few stone buildings and the odd light show!

To answer the question,
So, to those who know, how would you rate this effect on the "strangeness" scale? Or put another way, can you think of any circumstances (other then the Sod's Law effect) which might contribute such a phenomenon?

b. Rad Alts & wiggly~amps doing their ‘thing’.
