Some say an alien civilization existed before mankind was born on planet Earth. Other say aliens from another planet come on Earth and helped mankind to be born. They believe those aliens come to Earth from time to time, keeping a track on how humans are progressing, looming over us like gods. Here are, unknown to most of us, such alien races in contact with earth:

10. Grays

The Gray’s come from a star-system known as Zeti Reticuli; Which is a star system located somewhere in the southern celestial hemisphere. And it is thought to be one of the alien races in contact with earth. At a little over 40 light-years away they’re practically our closest neighbors. The type of neighbors that you conveniently forget to invite over for a dinner party.

If we had to pick out one particular race in the cosmos and call them the ‘bad guys’ it would definitely be these guys. Tall and humanoid with a long head, and distinctive grey features; They are the most commonly depicted alien life-form in our media. And are also the beings that are most commonly described by alien abductees who have been returned back to Earth.

The Grays have the greatest tendency to be involved in abductions because they like to stockpile humans. They think of Earth the way that you would of a chicken farm; just brimming with genetic material that they can’t wait to get their hands on. They come to Earth to pick up a juicy selection then take it home to do cosmos-only-knows what. On the off-chance that they’re not happy with their selection then they bring it back and choose another.

9. The Sassani

Hybrids are particularly common across the cosmos and are believed to be of the alien races in contact with earth. Some even believe that we humans are genetic hybrids ourselves but that’s a discussion for another conspiracy forum. The Sassani are a hybrid that was developed from reptilians and gray-humans. Their development was found to be necessary after the Grays mutated themselves through genetic experimentation to a point where they could no longer reproduce using conventional means i.e alien sex, and were only able to spawn new generations by cloning themselves. Cloning is well and good if you want to create new beings. However it gives no genetic variation over successive generations which lead to problems.

So they came to Earth and ‘convinced’ a few people to share our genetic information with them. From this genetic cross-over the universe was blessed with an entirely new type of being; the Sassani who in a way are like our interstellar cousins. They were then given their own planet and allowed to roam free. And evolve into the best beings that they can be.

The Sassani have a stronger connection with their higher selves. And are believed to be where humans will one day be. Although they are millennia ahead of us, and are one of up to fifteen alien races that are actively engaged in humanity’s conscious awakening.

 8. Arcturians

Of all of the species known believed to inhabit to the Milky Way, the Arcturians are the most ancient and the wisest. They are said to be one of the alien races in contact with earth. If Yoda came from any one of the alien species on this list, it would probably have been this one. Theirs was the first system to be given the gift of life in our galaxy and all of the other species, ours included, may have descended from them. They’ve mutated and evolved over their time and now exist in many forms. The main race of Arcturians stands to about 5 feet with green skin and large eyes that can see right through you.

Just like most nerds, this race’s development of their minds rather than their bodies made them small in stature. So you could probably take one of them in a fist-fight. However their advanced intelligence means that if any alien species out there knows how to use ‘The Force’ from Star Wars, it’s these guys so watch out. Thankfully they do have a reputation for being the most kind and loving beings in the galaxy. So if you manage to piss of them off then you must be a douche-bag of galactic proportions.

7. The Nordics

The Nordics look like Norse Gods; blonde with brilliant-blue eyes and the bodies of 6 foot tall, finely-toned athletes. You can see where the Scandinavian’s got their inspiration for Thor from. The Grays got a lot of attention when it comes to alien sightings. But the Nordics are a species that come into contact with humans almost as much as they do.

However they are more interested in the well-being of the human race than the Grays are. Even though some eye-witness reports claim to have seen Nordics in the same alien craft as Grays. A possible explanation for this is that those Grays were slaves or servants to the Nordics as a Gray’s lack of empathy makes it an ideal butler.

6. The Pleiadians

The Pleiadians come from a bright star cluster known as the Pleiades. And, they are one of the beings in the Milky Way that closely resemble humans. They are thought to be one of the alien races in contact with earth. Therefore you could be sitting in a room with one right now and not even know it.

A major difference between us and them is that; They are particularly sensitive to the physic energies that are constantly streaming across the universe. This means that the best way of reaching out to one of them would be by concentrating on sending out psychic messages. Put simply, if you really want to meet up with a Pleiadian for a cup of tea or a few brews, just sit down and meditate on it.

Whether they choose to show up or not depends on how much they’re feeling your psychic energy so sending messages like ‘Get your interstellar b**ts over here, now!” are unlikely to work out well for you.

5. The Yahyel

There’s been a lot a talk about which race will be the first to officially disclose their presence to Earthlings. The one that alien experts (assuming that you can call them that) all seem to agree on is the Yahyel.

This is one of the alien races in contact with earth. And is known to be kind and loving. Also, they have been touted as the best beings to make first contact with us due to their advanced and harmonious relationship with technology. Something that we here on Earth are having a little trouble balancing out. Whenever a new invention comes about we weaponize it first, feed the hungry second.

The Yahyel know that we’re not the friendliest beings out there. So they’re taking their time to make themselves known by easing their way in to our psyches with friendly UFO sightings. Such as the March 1997 sighting known as ‘The Phoenix Lights’ that they claim responsibility for.

During that event they gave thousands of people across the State of Arizona in North America a spectacular light-show in the sky. And there’s even video for anybody who missed it.

4. The Anunnaki

If human beings were able to successfully colonize another planet what would be the first thing we’d do? Pillage it for resources of course, which is exactly what the Anunnaki did when they arrived on Earth. They came from Planet X aka Nibiru; An almost mythical planet that some scientists believe rotates around our sun on a very wide elliptical orbit that takes it far out into the expanses of space before coming back in for a close shave with our sun.

This crazy elliptical orbit is what makes its presence so hard to prove. However the presence of the Anunnaki has been noted down in texts that date back to Mesopotamian cultures. They are believed to be one of the alien races in contact with earth.

Anyway, on Nibiru’s last brush with the planets of the inner solar system it crashed into another rock. And the resulting collision created a planet that we now call Earth. While their planet was here a few of the Anunnaki ‘hopped off’ of their world, and onto ours in search of a yellow element that they covet called gold.

Have you ever wondered why gold is so valuable? Yeah, it’s shiny but it doesn’t do anything useful like heal the sick or produce energy. So why do we as a species desire it so much? We desire it because the Anunnaki desire it. And while they were here they enlisted us as their work-force to mine it for them. That’s right, out entire existence is based on working our socks off every day. So that our alien overloads can have their fix of gold and other precious metals. Isn’t that grand?

3. Alpha Draconians

The Anunnaki was one of the alien races in contact with earth. They are were not the first race involved in the racket of mining minerals on our little blue planet. Before them came the Alpha Draconians. Standing at up to 22 feet tall these bad-ass beings are made up of pure muscle. And, they resembled dinosaurs or dragons.

As you can imagine, they were very unhappy when the Anunnaki showed up and took over. However they are still active on our planet with puppets placed in the high echelons of government, as they bide their time in an attempt to take over once again.

2. The Reptilians

Before the Anunnaki stopped by and genetically engineered a bi-pedal workforce to dig up dirt for them. There was a race of intelligent beings who lived here. And is thought to be one of the alien races in contact with earth. We know them as the Reptilians. Scaly and standing to about the size of a human being. They were driven underground by the Anunaki. Where they are said to still reside today in a network of complex underground tunnels.

Those that are open-minded and curious may be able to find these tunnels, and pop in for a visit. However considering that we’re the reason that they can’t come up for a breath of fresh air. It’s likely that they’ll skin you alive and leave you’re skeleton on a stick hanging outside of the entrance as a warning to any other scale-less punks who decide to invade their territory. You’ve been warned.

1. Nommos

Some alien species chose to interact with certain tribes on Earth that they just happened to get along with better. The Scandinavians had the Nordics and the Dogon’s; A tribe indigenous to Mali in Northern Africa had the Nommos who hailed from the brightest star in our night sky, Sirius.

The Dogons knew centuries before modern science caught up that Sirius is actually made up of three stars. And, they even knew how long it took for Sirius B to go around Sirius A. Considering that they were millennia away from inventing devices powerful enough to see Sirius close-up, it makes sense that they had visitors from that section of the galaxy who told them about it.

1. Are there any confirmed alien races in contact with Earth?

At present, there is no concrete scientific evidence confirming the existence of extraterrestrial beings in contact with Earth. However, there are numerous claims and theories about such contact, but none have been widely accepted within the scientific community.

2. What are some common descriptions of alleged alien races?

Descriptions of alleged alien races vary widely, ranging from humanoid beings with distinct physical features to more abstract forms. Some commonly mentioned types include the Greys, Reptilians, Nordics, and Pleiadians, among others. These descriptions often come from individuals claiming to have had encounters with these beings.

3. How do people claim to have contact with these alien races?

Contact experiences are typically reported as encounters involving sightings, abductions, or telepathic communication. Some individuals claim to have been taken aboard spacecraft, subjected to medical examinations, or engaged in conversations with these beings. However, the veracity of these claims is often debated.

4. Are there any credible sources supporting claims of alien contact?

While there are numerous accounts and testimonies from individuals claiming contact with alien races, there is a lack of scientifically verifiable evidence to support these claims. Most evidence consists of anecdotal reports, photos, videos, and other forms of documentation, which often lack sufficient credibility to be considered scientifically valid.

5. What do scientists say about the existence of alien races in contact with Earth?

The scientific community generally maintains skepticism regarding claims of alien contact due to the absence of empirical evidence. While many scientists acknowledge the vastness of the universe and the possibility of extraterrestrial life, they emphasize the need for rigorous scientific investigation and verifiable evidence before making any conclusive statements.

6. Are there any government disclosures about alien contact?

Over the years, various governments have released documents related to UFO sightings and investigations, but none have provided definitive evidence of contact with alien races. While some conspiracy theories suggest government cover-ups of such contact, there is no substantiated evidence to support these claims.

7. What about UFO sightings? Do they confirm alien contact?

UFO sightings, while often associated with claims of alien contact, do not necessarily provide evidence of such encounters. Unidentified flying objects simply refer to aerial phenomena that cannot be readily explained by conventional means. While some sightings remain unexplained, they do not inherently imply contact with alien races.

8. How can I differentiate between credible information and misinformation about alien races?

It is essential to approach information about alien races with skepticism and critical thinking. Look for credible sources supported by scientific evidence and peer-reviewed research. Be cautious of sensationalized claims, unsubstantiated anecdotes, and sources lacking credibility or reliability.

9. What should I do if I believe I’ve had contact with an alien race?

If you believe you’ve had contact with an alien race, you may consider seeking support from mental health professionals, support groups, or organizations specializing in UFO and abduction phenomena. It’s crucial to approach such experiences with an open mind while also maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism.

10. Will we ever know the truth about alien contact?

The truth about alien contact remains elusive and uncertain. While advancements in technology and scientific inquiry continue to expand our understanding of the universe, conclusive evidence of alien contact has yet to be discovered. Only through rigorous scientific investigation and open-minded inquiry can we hope to uncover the truth, if it exists, about extraterrestrial beings and their potential contact with Earth.

Humans are competitive animals. They love to win. Those who can, race; those who can’t, train animals to take part in contests for them. It is impossible to say when the first races involving animals were held, but it is likely that it was deep in the past. Chances were that something was wagered on the outcome too.

Today you can gamble on the outcome of a bewildering variety of animal races. Here are ten of the whackiest races around.

10 Oxford Cambridge Goat Race

One of the highlights of the British sporting year is the annual Oxford and Cambridge boat race. The fight between the two ancient universities of England was first run in 1829 on the Thames, and nearly a quarter of a million people cheered on the boats from the banks. Less well-known—but just as thrilling—is the Oxford Cambridge Goat Race.

Taking place each year at Spitalfields City Farm, you can watch two goats go head to head for the honor of their university. One is dressed in the majestic blue of Oxford while the other is resplendent in the slightly different blue of Cambridge. Because goats are not the most biddable of animals, the two are lured along the track by a person carrying a bucket of food.

Interestingly, the Oxford and Cambridge race is not the only goat race. In Tobago, you can watch multiple goats trotting in competition on the Tuesday after Easter. The race was first held on the streets but has since been relocated to a $100 million sporting arena.^[1]

9 Tortoise and Hare

Aesop was one of the great storytellers of antiquity—if he really existed. The collection of short fables that have come down to us under his name contains some of the most famous stories in the world. The Boy Who Cried Wolf, the Sour Grapes, and the Town and Country Mice are stories most children hear and have no trouble understanding their morals. The same is true of the Tortoise and the Hare—slow and steady wins the race.

But some people cannot just enjoy a good story. Some have decided to restage the race between the slow tortoise and the swift hare. Several videos can be found online that show these competitions. Oddly, it seems that Aesop got it right. In most of the real races, the tortoise manages to slowly shuffle to victory at the finishing line while the rabbit loses interest and simply stops to eat the grass.^[2]

8 Ostrich Races

Ostriches are capable of reaching speeds of 45 mph (70 kph). They are also the tallest and heaviest of all living birds and can give a very nasty kick when threatened. This makes ostrich racing all the more bizarre. Not content with having the birds race against each other, in ostrich racing, the birds have jockeys on their back.

In the old days, the ostriches were harnessed to small carriages that pulled the driver. Today the jockeys cling to the back of the birds as best they can. They only have the feathers to grab hold of, which probably does not make the ostriches very happy. Many of the jockeys do not make it to the end of the track.^[3]

7 Yabby Races

If you get annoyed that you can’t eat the animals at the end of their race, then there is a sport in Australia that might just be right for you. Yabbies are crayfish native to Australia and are delicious boiled or barbecued. They also make for entertaining races.

In each race, ten yabbies are placed in the middle of a ring marked on the ground. To differentiate between them, they are marked with numbers painted on them with white-out. The contest ends when the winner places its claw outside the ring.

The bets placed on the match take the form of an auction. Bidders call out the number and price they’re willing to pay. All the money raised goes into a pot (as the losers may also be placed later), and the owner of the winning yabby claims all the cash.^[4]

6 Makepung Buffalo Races

Sometimes the most entertaining games come out of boredom. One day in Bali, farmers were bringing in the rice harvest with their buffalo when they decided to make it a race. That is how Makepung was born.

Two bull buffalo are harnessed to a cart that a rider stands on as they hurtle along a track. The buffalo are dressed for the occasion with painted horns and fancy necklaces and garlands. The race may not be entirely pleasant for them, however—to get the buffalo to reach full speed, the drivers twist their tails and lash their backs with a whip.

There is a prize of sorts for the victors. Those bulls who win can be sold for high prices and spend the rest of their lives as a stud fathering other racing bulls.^[5]

5 Ban’ei Races

Thoroughbred horses used in standard races are sleekly muscled and have glistening coats. But looks aren’t everything. There are horse races in Japan that test both the speed and strength of the horse. Ban’ei are races that see draft horses dragging heavy sleds over a track filled with ups and downs. A jockey stands behind them and drives them on. These sleds can weigh up to a ton.

The races began as an outgrowth of agriculture, with horses being raced as they pulled in harvests or moved equipment. Because of the weight of the sled, the races sometimes include a pause after the first slope to allow the horses time to recover before facing the second incline.

The sport has nearly died out, but the popularity of gambling on the events has seen it make something of a comeback.^[6]

4 Cane Toad Racing

Cane toads are a pest in Australia. They were originally introduced to Australia from America in an effort to control the cane beetle, which was attacking sugarcane crops. It turned out, however, that the cure was worse than the disease. Soon, the cane toad population exploded and severely damaged the natural ecosystem. Now the toads number in the hundreds of millions, and the cane beetle has hardly been dented.

Attempts are being made to eradicate the toads but with only limited success. Some are trying to find uses for the toads, such as blending them into fertilizer or making leather from their skin. Others are turning them into a sport.

Cane toad racing sees the toads prettied up with ribbons to mark them and placed at the center of a ring. They are then released, and the first to escape the ring is the victor. Like in yabby racing, the toads are bought in an auction, and the winning owner gets some of the total money raised. Some of the prize pot is given to charity—often a charity aiming to get rid of the cane toads.^[7]

3 Snail Racing

Races are usually high-paced and adrenalin-fuelled spectacles. Snail racing is a little more relaxed affair. The race is one of the few animal competitions that can be held on a tabletop, so it can be played almost anywhere by anyone.

Usually, the common garden snail native to Europe is used. Once again, it can be tricky to spot the difference between the competitors. Racing snails are usually painted with colors to help identify the race participants. They are then placed in the center of a ring around 12 inches in diameter, and the winner is the first to cross the edge.

The longest-running snail race takes place in Congham, England. To give an idea of the speeds involved in snail racing, you should know that the fastest ever winner clocked in with a completion time of two minutes.^[8]

2 Shetland Pony Grand National

Ever wanted to see a horse race but thought the horses were just too big? Welcome to the fun-sized world of Shetland pony races. Shetland ponies are tough little horses that were bred to pull small carts. For years they were used in mines because they would not block the shaft. Today, most Shetland ponies are kept as pets though some are used instead of guide dogs.

For Shetland pony racing, both the horses and jockeys are smaller than usual. The riders are usually children because putting an adult on a Shetland pony would probably just result in a collapsed pony. Children can be riders until they reach 5 feet (1.5 meters) in height.

The Grand National is the most prestigious horse race in the United Kingdom, and the Grand National Shetland Pony race is just like it in everything but scale. The jumps are of a suitably cute size for their suitably cute jumpers.^[9]

1 Monkey Jockey Greyhound Race

In a list of animal races, it is perhaps unfair to include events where humans are involved at all. To make up for it, here is an event that includes not one species but two. Greyhounds are a common racing animal—but putting monkeys on their back to act as jockeys is not so common.

The events started in the 1920s in Australia and caught on in the 1930s in the United States. The monkeys were strapped to the back of the greyhounds wearing tiny silks that looked exactly like those used by human jockeys. In 1933, a patent was applied for that covered the design of a miniature saddle and harness for monkey riders.

The fad for monkey jockeys did not last long. Many people considered the sport to be cruel to both the monkeys and the greyhounds involved. Today, it can only be seen in grainy footage from the time.^[10]
