1-Page Summary

Billy Carson's Personal Experiences and Beliefs

Witnessed a UFO as a Child and Learned About Ancient Civilizations

At age 7, Billy Carson saw a puzzling aerial object in his backyard. His mother introduced him to the idea of ancient advanced beings on Earth as an explanation. She told him about their existence on sites like Machu Picchu and instilled the belief that "everything that's been done has already been done before."

Explored Ancient Sites as an Adult

Carson traveled extensively, visiting places like Machu Picchu to study megalithic stonework and evidence of bygone construction techniques. He draws from tales of ancient builders like the Anunnaki and explores theories around sites like Teotihuacan, arid construction methods, and interlocked stones suggesting earthquake-proof engineering.

Jesus' Potential Alien/Ancient Connections

Jesus as a Half-Human, Half-Alien Being

According to Carson, Biblical texts and others align with ancient tablets suggesting Jesus had alien origins. He believes Jesus and his grandmother were born of virgin births tied to "consciousness transference" processes, possibly relating to alien life forms. Carson connects the Lord's Prayer to an ancient cuneiform prayer to explore Jesus' teachings having predated Christianity.

Jesus' Teachings and Ancient Cosmologies

Carson sees Jesus (Yeshua) as deeply spiritual with Egyptian mystery knowledge. Citing the "Gospel of the Holy Twelve," he claims Jesus traveled to study practices like Qigong and reincarnation beliefs, paralleling older cultural mythologies and cosmologies.

Nikola Tesla and Suppressed Technology

Tesla's Suppressed Technologies

Carson theorizes the 1947 Roswell UFO crash was due to scalar weapons from Tesla's energy/frequency discoveries. He suggests after Tesla's death, the government seized his papers to assess security risks, implying some technologies may have been withheld due to industry disruption fears.

Tesla's Unusual Capabilities

Carson notes Tesla's exceptional visualization skills and belief that reality is fundamentally energy/frequency based as potentially paranormal abilities.

Alleged Government Conspiracies

Eisenhower's Alien Meeting and Mars Colonies

Reports claim President Eisenhower met with "Grays" aliens in 1954, allegedly negotiating an agreement for alien technology. Carson suggests secret Mars colonies were created, pointing to anomalies like structures and potential nuclear histories as evidence.

Hidden Space Programs

Conspiracy sources claim secret space programs exist, with activities in Antarctica studying classified tech or aliens. Anomalies during space missions are cited as signs of government secrecy about extraterrestrials.

Anomalies at Ancient Sites

Advanced Construction Techniques

Carson observed the precise stonework at Machu Picchu, suggesting advanced, lost techniques were used to cut, transport, and assemble the megalithic, earthquake-proof structures without mortar.

Astronomical Alignments

Sites like Teotihuacan and Giza display alignments to astronomical bodies, indicating advanced knowledge. The Giza plateau's layout may map the solar system, while water erosion patterns suggest the Pyramids could be much older than dated.

Ancient Texts Describe "Gods"

Ancient Sumerian and Egyptian texts reference technologically-advanced "gods" coming from the sky to teach knowledge, potentially relating to extraterrestrials according to Carson. Some indigenous groups also maintain oral traditions of being "seeded" on Earth by star beings.

Counterarguments

  • The sighting of a UFO by Billy Carson as a child is a subjective experience and cannot be substantiated without additional evidence.
  • While ancient sites like Machu Picchu are indeed impressive, mainstream archaeology attributes their construction to human ingenuity and established historical timelines rather than to ancient advanced beings or lost technologies.
  • The belief that Jesus had alien origins is not supported by mainstream religious scholarship or historical evidence, which typically interprets virgin births within a theological context.
  • The connection between Jesus' teachings and ancient cosmologies is speculative and not widely accepted in academic circles, which tend to study religious texts within their historical and cultural contexts.
  • The theory that the Roswell UFO crash was related to Tesla's suppressed technology is a conspiracy theory lacking credible evidence and is not supported by historical records or scientific validation.
  • While Tesla was a brilliant inventor, claims of his paranormal abilities or the suppression of his technologies by the government are often based on speculation rather than documented facts.
  • The alleged meeting between President Eisenhower and aliens in 1954 is a part of UFO conspiracy theories and lacks credible evidence; it is not recognized by historians or documented in verifiable records.
  • Claims of hidden space programs and secret activities in Antarctica are part of conspiracy theories and are not corroborated by evidence that meets scientific or historical standards.
  • The advanced construction techniques observed at ancient sites are often well-explained by archaeologists through known historical methods and do not necessarily imply lost advanced technologies.
  • Astronomical alignments at ancient sites, while indicative of sophisticated knowledge of the stars, do not necessarily prove contact with extraterrestrial beings; many cultures have independently developed advanced astronomical knowledge.
  • Interpretations of ancient texts that describe "gods" as technologically-advanced beings from the sky are speculative and often reflect a modern reinterpretation rather than the understood context at the time they were written.

Actionables

  • You can explore the concept of ancient knowledge in modern practices by integrating meditation techniques that focus on the idea of energy and frequency, inspired by Tesla's views. Start with simple breathing exercises, envisioning each breath as a different energy frequency that aligns with your personal goals or emotional states. This personal experiment can be a gateway to understanding how ancient concepts might be relevant today.
  • Engage with local astronomy clubs to learn about celestial alignments and their historical significance. By participating in stargazing events, you can gain a firsthand understanding of how ancient civilizations might have used the stars for navigation and timing, which could provide a deeper appreciation for the astronomical knowledge displayed at sites like Teotihuacan and Giza.
  • Create a digital scrapbook of ancient sites using a free online collage maker, focusing on the architectural techniques used in their construction. By researching and visually compiling the different methods used in ancient structures, you can develop a better grasp of the advanced construction techniques mentioned, like those seen in Machu Picchu, and consider how these might have been achieved without modern technology.

Billy Carson's personal experiences and beliefs about UFOs and ancient civilizations

Billy Carson shares his journey from witnessing an unexplained aerial phenomenon as a child to exploring ancient sites worldwide, which led him to develop unique beliefs regarding advanced ancient civilizations and lost technologies.

Witnessed a UFO as a child and was told by his mother about ancient civilizations

At just seven years old, in Miami, Florida, in 1977, Billy Carson saw a strange, fast-moving object with no wings or tail dart across his backyard. It glowed like metal and maneuvered with sharp movements before speeding away. The puzzling encounter led Carson's mother to introduce him to the concept of advanced beings who once inhabited Earth. She enlightened him with tales of their existence on mountaintops like Machu Picchu, steering him towards a lifetime of curiosity. His mother, refraining from using the term "aliens," instilled in him the belief that history is cyclical, encapsulated by her statement, "everything that's been done has already been done before."

Explored ancient sites and archaeological anomalies as an adult

Carson's passion for ancient civilizations turned into globetrotting adventures, piqued by his mother’s early advice. To date, he circled the globe 38 times, visiting monumental sites such as Machu Picchu and beyond. His explorations led him to interpret the sophisticated megalithic stonework and carvings found in Inca and pre-Incan sites as signs of advanced construction techniques from a bygone era.

Carson immerses in the history and legacy of the supposed Anunnaki builders of the Atlantean civilization and recounts tales of conflict among gods from ancient myths. He speaks of Marduk and the pyramid wars, drawing connections to figures like Amun-Ra and Iyai Enki. His curiosity extended to Teotihuacan, originally built by bringing Olmecs from Africa, and how later civilizations such as the Mayans and Aztecs came to inherit their pre-constructed cities.

He investigates the effort required to build at high altitudes in arid environments and is astounded by the precision of the interlocked, mortarless, earthquake-proof stones found at sites like Allianto Tombow, which suggest k ...

Theories about Jesus and his potential connections to aliens or ancient civilizations

Intriguing theories are presented by Billy Carson, who believes that Jesus wasn't just a historical figure, but someone with connections far beyond Earth and steeped in ancient wisdom.

Believes Jesus was a half-human, half-alien being

Carson posits that Jesus was a being of mixed origin – part human, part alien. Citing a consistency between Biblical texts, the Torah, and the Quran with ancient tablets, Carson suggests a link to advanced knowledge and beings, possibly extraterrestrial in origin. He further delves into the idea that both Jesus and his grandmother were born of virgin births as per the Apocryphal texts, presenting Jesus' conception as part of an advanced consciousness transference process that could be tied to alien life forms. Carson refers to the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, where Thoth claims the power of incarnation and mentions rejuvenation chambers used for consciousness transference, which could signal advanced longevous knowledge.

Patrick Bet-David asks Carson to clarify if he views Jesus as an alien. While Carson does not answer directly, he implies that biblical stories contain underlying truths that require discernment when reading them. By connecting the Lord’s Prayer with an ancient cuneiform prayer written by Pata (also known as Ea Enki from the Sumerian tablets), Carson entertains the notion that this prayer and potentially other aspects of Christian teachings may have origins predating Christianity and be connected to ancient and possibly extraterrestrial knowledge.

Sees parallels between Jesus' teachings and the cosmology/mythology of ancient cultures

Carson acknowledges Jesus, referred to as Yeshua, as a deeply spiritual person with extensive knowledge, who was allegedly a student of Egyptian mysteries. He references a non-canonical text, "The Gospel of ...

Theories about Jesus and his potential connections to aliens or ancient civilizations

Additional Materials

Counterarguments

  • The historical and mainstream theological view is that Jesus was a fully human figure with no evidence of extraterrestrial origin.
  • Virgin birth, as described in Christian theology, is traditionally interpreted as a miraculous event by the Holy Spirit, not as an advanced consciousness transference process.
  • The Emerald Tablets of Thoth are considered by scholars to be a modern creation and not an authentic ancient text, thus their reliability and connection to Jesus are highly questionable.
  • The Gospel of the Holy Twelve is not recognized by mainstream Christianity and is considered a 19th-century creation rather than a genuine historical document.
  • There is no historical evidence that Jesus traveled to Egypt, Tibet, or India to study mystical arts, and these claims are not supported by canonical biblical texts.
  • The Lord’s Prayer and other aspects of Christian teachings are generally understood within the context of Jewish tradition and the life of Jesus as depicted in the New Testament, rather than being directly connected to Sumerian or other ancient mythologies.
  • ...

Actionables

  • Explore ancient texts and spiritual practices by visiting your local library or bookstore to find books on Egyptian mysteries, Tibetan spirituality, and Indian philosophies.

Nikola Tesla, his inventions, and alleged government suppression of his work

Tesla's advanced technological breakthroughs may have been deliberately hidden or misused

Carson raises the theory that the UFO which crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, could have been brought down using technology originating from Nikola Tesla’s discoveries. He suggests that Tesla’s insights into the underlying nature of reality as composed of energy, frequency, and vibration were profound and could have led to transformative technologies.

Scalar weapons reportedly developed from Tesla's work were used to shoot down a UFO in Roswell, New Mexico

The debate touches upon allegations that a scalar weapon derived from Tesla’s inventions was secretly developed by the government. Carson postulates that this weapon, incorporated into military radar systems, was initially designed for radar but later discovered to have the capability to disorient and bring down UFOs when used in Roswell.

Tesla's papers and inventions were seized by the government after his death, with his nephew claiming the FBI wanted to determine if any posed national security risks

The discussion with Patrick Bet-David reveals that after Tesla’s death, his papers and inventions were indeed seized by the government. There are claims, including those from Tesla’s own nephew, that this was done to assess any potential national security risks. Bet-David alludes to Tesla's capacity to disrupt existing industries and implies that some of his inventions and technologies could have been deliberately kept secret because of their perceived threats.

Nikola Tesla, his inventions, and alleged government suppression of his work

Additional Materials

Counterarguments

  • Tesla's insights into energy, frequency, and vibration, while ahead of his time, have not been conclusively linked to any hidden transformative technologies that are currently in use or suppressed.
  • There is no credible evidence to support the claim that scalar weapons developed from Tesla's work were used to shoot down a UFO in Roswell; the Roswell incident remains unproven and is often considered a conspiracy theory.
  • While it is true that Tesla's papers were seized by the government, there is no definitive proof that any of Tesla's inventions that posed a national security risk were suppressed; the seizure could have been a standard procedure following the death of a potentially influential scientist during a sensitive period in history.
  • The idea that some of Tesla's inventions were kept secret due to their disruptive potential is speculative; while possible, it is equally plausible that any unreleased inventions were either incomplete, impractical, or did not work as intended.

Alleged government conspiracies and secret programs involving aliens and advanced technology

Conspiracy theories regarding government involvement with alien technology and secret programs suggest we have more to learn about our history and technological capabilities than is publicly acknowledged.

Eisenhower may have met with extraterrestrials and negotiated an agreement

Reports of President Eisenhower interrupting his vacation on February 20, 1954, for a secret meeting with extraterrestrial beings known as "the Grays" at an Air Force base are part of the lore surrounding alleged government dealings with aliens. According to Laura Eisenhower, Dwight Eisenhower's great-granddaughter, he supposedly negotiated to give up nuclear weapons in exchange for advanced alien technology. Despite potential repercussions, she claims the information regarding this meeting is "100% accurate," leading to her ostracization from the family. Patrick Bet-David also references a story suggesting Eisenhower held a meeting with extraterrestrials.

Secret space programs and breakaway civilizations may exist

Sources within the conspiracy theory community, such as Billy Carson, suggest that secret initiatives like breakaway civilizations on Mars are being developed. Carson argues that George Bush Senior ordered the creation of such a civilization, which is supported by anomalies detected in Mars imagery, indicating the potential presence of out-of-place artifacts. The public's slow technological progress is ascribed to the government's distribution of technology, which ensures control over advanced capabilities like anti-gravity.

Laura Eisenhower's account of being recruited by a handler to join a selective Mars colonization effort only adds fuel to these theories, although she declined to participate. Carson, through his involvement with the United Family of Anomaly Hunters, further supports the claim of hidden activities by pointing out anomalies on Mars, such as traces of weapons-grade xenon indicative of a nuclear history. These fi ...

Alleged government conspiracies and secret programs involving aliens and advanced technology

Additional Materials

Counterarguments

  • The meeting between President Eisenhower and extraterrestrials lacks credible evidence and is not supported by historical records or verifiable sources.
  • Claims made by individuals, even relatives of historical figures, require substantiation beyond personal testimony to be considered historically accurate.
  • Patrick Bet-David's reference to a story about Eisenhower's meeting with extraterrestrials does not constitute proof and is anecdotal.
  • Anomalies on Mars can often be explained by pareidolia, the human tendency to see patterns, such as faces or familiar objects, in random or ambiguous visual data.
  • The existence of a breakaway civilization on Mars has no evidence supported by current scientific understanding or space exploration data.
  • The distribution of technology by the government is a complex process influenced by economic, political, and social factors, not necessarily by a desire to control advanced capabilities.
  • Recruitment for a Mars colonization effort would likely be a public endeavor conducted by recognized space agencies, not through secretive individual recruitment.
  • Traces of xenon on Mars can be explained by natural processes and do not necessarily indicate a nuclear history related to secret activities.
  • Alleged comments by Neil Armstrong about extraterrestrial structures on the moon have never been substantiated by credible sources.
  • Hacked astronaut communications, if they occurred, would likely be a matter of security concern rather than evidence of extraterrestrial involvement.

Anomalies and artifacts found in ancient sites, and theories about their origins

Patrick Bet-David and Billy Carson delve into the mysteries of ancient architecture and artifacts, suggesting that certain construction methods and astronomical knowledge may hint at lost technologies and interactions with non-human intelligences.

Ancient construction techniques and architectural alignments defy conventional explanations

The massive stones of Machu Picchu and other sites were precisely cut and fitted without mortar, suggesting lost technologies

Carson observed megalithic stones at Machu Picchu and its surrounding areas, noting the precision with which they were cut and assembled without mortar. He points out that these interlocking stones, which came from distant mountains and were assembled in an earthquake-proof manner, suggest the use of advanced, lost construction technologies.

Alignments at sites like Teotihuacan and the Giza pyramids seem to encode astronomical and geographic knowledge

Carson discusses the extraordinary precision and astronomical alignments found at ancient sites. For example, the Great Pyramid at Giza's height corresponds to the average height of all the Earth's peaks, and the pyramid's Grand Gallery aligns exactly with the numerical value of the speed of light. Moreover, the pyramids and temples of the Giza Plateau create a grid pattern that appears to map our inner solar system.

Carson also notes that the pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan has the same alignment with the Orion constellation as the Great Pyramid of Giza and is exactly half its height yet identical in size at the base, suggesting a shared architectural blueprint.

Carson questions the conventional dating of the Giza pyramids, suggesting they may be around 36,000 years old, based on evidence such as geological patterns of water erosion that could relate to the Younger Dryas event, and the claims in the Emerald Tablets that they were built by Thoth.

Ancient texts and oral histories describe interactions with non-human intelligences

Sumerian, Egyptian, and other cultures left records of "gods" from the sky who taught them advanced knowledge and skills

Carson talks about the gods mentioned in ancient texts from Sumerian and Egyptian cultures, who are often associated with advanced knowledge and are believed to have come down from the sky. He references specific ancient records that contain detailed technological knowledge, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, and how these stories correlate with the narratives found in more modern ...
