I didn’t mean to come off as antagonistic. Just saying the asteroid theory is the scientific consensus at the moment. True, no paleontologist was alive 65 million years ago, but all paleontology requires using the scientific method to extrapolate from archaeological evidence and arrive at the most likely conclusion. Currently, the consensus among paleontologists (who study this for a living) is that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs. Of course this consensus could be wrong, but at the moment it’s the best explanation given the available evidence.
The reason I say the alien war thing is ridiculous is because we already have a perfectly reasonable explanation backed up by geological evidence and radio-carbon dating. There’s a huge crater in Mexico that dates to the correct time. Plus, any extraordinary claim should require extraordinary evidence. Asteroid impacts are not really extraordinary. They happen quite often over geological time scales, so there’s nothing particularly weird or extraordinary about it, unlike an alien space war. So the Chicxulub impact is simply the best explanation. Again, obviously it’s possible that something else happened and paleontologists are wrong, but currently there’s just no compelling reason to believe so.
The asteroid impact theory is probably the right explanation, but it doesn’t mean it is the only explanation. I am aware of the fact that my hypothesis is pure speculation and has no concrete evidence, but I presented it as speculation and as a mere hypothesis from the very beginning. I never tried to demonstrate its correctness, it is just a fascinating hypothesis I like to speculate on,
Anyway, what do you think is the most convincing evidence that somebody observed an alien spacecraft back then?
I appreciate your curiosity, but I have to admit, I’m not really an expert in this area. My interests and knowledge are more focused on modern UFO sightings that gave been reported from 1947 onwards. I haven’t really dived deep into the study of Clipeology, so my insights here are pretty limited. That said, while my focus has been on more recent sightings, I do know of some interesting references from ancient history that might point to sightings of extraterrestrial spacecraft. For example, the Romans documented the appearance of what they called “fiery shields” or “clypei ardentes”. Historians like Livy and Pliny the Elder wrote about these events, and they seemed extraordinary and hard to explain with the knowledge of their time. Livy’s Ab Urbe Condita talks about glowing orbs or shields moving across the sky. Similarly, Pliny the Elder, in his Natural History, also describes cases where unusual lights and objects appeared in the heavens, often causing a lot of fear among those who saw them.
