The Official Story of Morten St. George's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Incantation of the Law Against Inept Critics:

A Guide to Cryptic Thinking

CrypticThinking.com is an ancient astronaut site. It is about an extraterrestrial, an interstellar traveler, who visited Earth a long time ago. Many ancient astronaut speculations have come forth in recent decades but none are convincing. Mythology is fiction, not history, and archaeologists have a good explanation of everything else we see from the ancient world.

Morten St. George's theory is distinguishable from other theories on ancient astronauts in three respects: 1) he claims there was only one ancient astronaut, not many ancient astronauts, 2) his extraterrestrial arrived much later in time, in post-mythical medieval times, not in pre-historic or Sumerian times, and 3) his extraterrestrial was not a humanoid. Like all the other ancient astronauts, however, Morten St. George's alien decided to intervene in human history.

On ancient astronauts, or on extraterrestrial visitation in general, no amount of archaeological or historical evidence will convince humankind to widespread satisfaction. Only one of two types of events can do that: a) find an extraterrestrial artifact encompassing technology vastly superior to ours, or b) make contact with the ancient astronaut now, today.  This website will show that both a) and b) are possible. The following article introduces possibility b):

Aliens: Where SETI Astronomers Can Find Them  

SETI, or Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, has been an ongoing endeavor for many decades. In the early days, it was expected to be a quick success, so much so that national governments even helped fund these projects. Like the Moon race, there was something of a "find E.T." race. All that is gone now. Government funding has virtually evaporated around the globe. The explanation is simple: no one likes a perpetual failure. The few remaining SETI efforts have to count on private funding to scrape along. Well, the objective of this article is to come to the rescue of the last of the SETI astronomers, to tell them where they can find E.T. so that they can regain the world's respect.

That last sentence was not meant to be cynical. As noted in my article "Decoding Book Resurrects the Ancient Astronaut Theme," author Morten St. George claims that some of the prophecies of Nostradamus are of alien origin, and that those prophecies tell us how to calculate the galactic coordinates of where E.T. came from. In a follow-up interview, I posed the following question to St. George: Do you agree that contact with intelligent aliens could be of immense importance to humankind? He agreed. Then I asked: Do you agree that this is more important than your selling a few copies of your cryptic thinking book? He agreed. This article will be a little longer and a little more technical than the others will.
