Not really sure they did tbf..... the southwest tribes carry the story of being saved from a meteor shower by the reptilian race that lived underground, these they claim came from another star close to earth.
Anyways whatever, history is always being proved to be a bit of fake news on a grand scale
Now here's a staggering statistic .
If you put all of the world's water into cups , then times it by 10 you still wouldn't have the same amount of cups of water as stars in the universe, just the observable Universe

I tend to follow a lot of space exploration stuff and it is of no surprise. Humans really don't realise how insignificant we are, the best way to explain it is imagine planet earth as a grain of sand, and even that wouldn't be small enough to explain how insignificant we are. We are part of something that is too big for our human brains contemplate. It's part reason I've struggled with the concept of global warming, because we are insignificant to the bigger picture, outside that of human life. If you think cattle now account for 100 million tonnes of CO2 but dinosaurs accounted for 500 million tonnes and increased global warming by 10 degrees, it starts to put things into perspective. Dinosaurs were supposedly destroyed by a meteorite, but would have eventually destroyed themselves, much like we will destroy ourselves, and the Earth will recover without human life and we will become but a grain of sand that will eventually be eroded from ever having existed. Like a Martian landscape becoming windswept of evidence of any previous existence.
Universe on bbc iplayer with brian cox, watched the 1st 2 last night, brilliant stuff, recommend it if you've not seen
I would assume that is what human exploration is about, to ensure we live on as a species beyond the next inevitable threat to out existence, I've never assumed it's for any other reason. If we fail to do that, then any future life may never know we ever existed.
When you watch some of these programmes and see the extraordinary events that brought about our existence I think more and more towards the theory that we. Are alone .
I certainly don't think the vast distances between planets even if found can be breached .There's also the timeline of life existing elsewhere .
It took well over 4 Billion years for any meaningful life to evolve here 4 .6 billion for us and we where almost an accident brought about by mass extinction .
It's all rather mind twisting
I don't believe we are alone in the true sense of the word, we maybe just alone in our explorable universe. So I do believe other life exists, I don't perceive that as human life, I don't have a thought to what I perceive it as, whether it be microscopic or life equal or more intelligent than us. If we are but a grain of sand, we can never know what is beyond our reach, and as I'm not a religious person, that perceives no boundaries.
We'll eventually need to evolve ourselves with technology, especially if were talking space travel beyond our own solar system.
Like the borg in star trek kinda
I think we will eventually, maybe, discover something within the universe itself that will allow us to transport beyond current boundaries, but maybe I've just watched too much star trek as a kid.
Nothings impossible, or perhaps we will be invited into some kind of space federation of more intelligent species once we hit a certain technological stage, perhaps that would explain the many instances of uap/ufo sightings near nuclear silos and messing with thier equipment & such.
Perhaps were on the cusp of this "space group" and they are watching to see what we do with such power.
I fully believe that we are not alone, not at all.
You say that but it depends on how far you wanna go or how fsr you can go cyborg style.
Full transfer of your consciousness into a synthetic body. For example.
noun
a fictional or hypothetical person whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into the body.
