Jurassic Dinosaurs and Aliens not out of Mind

While many may not be surprised upon hearing that Hollywood director James Cameron would have presented aliens into the Jurassic Park stew of prehistoric dinosaurs, there are those who might be surprised to know:

• That, in real life, Pentagon spokesperson Paul Springer has acknowledged at least the possibility of future extra-terrestrial alien confrontation by suggesting that the US military are discussing a “plan of action”, in the event of such an occurrence.
• In addition, a study by Cornell University envisions a future ‘discipline’ on earth, imposed by extra-terrestrials.   It is proposed that aliens may discipline us for discharging carbon into the atmosphere, having themselves been triggered- or notified- via disturbances to the atmosphere of the planet Earth.

So while there are many who do not want to envision the world as it would be today had Cameron gotten his mitts on the original Jurassic Park production, there are those who can see the viability of such a notion.

Dinosaurs vs. Aliens

Take the new online series “Dinosaurs and Aliens”, a modern look at the ideas swirling around the world of debate today concerning prehistoric earth dinosaurs, theory of evolution, theory of “Life on Mars” or other planetary bodies which may be more earth-like.  Filmmaker Barry Sonnenfeld has teamed with graphic novel colleague Grant Morrison for this new motion comic book series.

Of course the most optimistic alien theorists would be involved with such organizations as NASA, like an American chemist working on the Kepler project who makes the far-reaching point that if only certain amino acids, sugars and genetic materials existed in a slightly different configuration, there would be evolution of either mammal to human, or dinosaur to bipedal reptilian intelligent life form—dinosaurs more intelligent than humanity ever imagined” and theories exist that without the asteroid…, these life forms could have existed today on earth, and of course this suggests that these life forms could exist today on other planets or in other galaxies.

Barring any asteroid extinction of dinosaurs on earth, Dr. Ronald Breslow considers the possibility yesterday’s prehistoric dinosaurs could have evolved into what would have been today’s intelligent warriors, and possibly even armed with technologies exceeding our own humanoid abilities.

Also of course, the most optimistic ideas and theories are often met with reactions of misunderstanding, and are relegated back to the more acceptable category of science fiction.  It’s rumored that Dr. Breslow’s official release has been removed from many major media channels.

Whatever theory one prefers to entertain regarding dinosaurs here on earth, fact is that the dinosaur versus alien propositions are real, and entertainment media seem be amp up the noise of just how this could happen, and what would happen if it did.  Science Fiction authors have been doing it for years.  Now, we’ve got people in prestigious positions of security supporting and even promoting the intelligent, non-fiction discussion of extra-terrestrial alien life.

Kepler is a Discovery Program focused on science discovery missions into outer space.  Its mission is to discover earth-like planets and has access to examination of a certain portion of the Milky Way galaxy.  A key point to realize is that Kepler is a mission to discover habitable earth-like planets.  Some might wonder how difficult it will be to maintain a position of non-belief in life elsewhere, when or if a similar environment is actually discovered.
