In short, it is the notion that extraterrestrial visitors came to Earth in the distant past, intentionally or not, shaping human history as they did.

What if they were fallen angels and not aliens?
We are part of an expiriment aliens made us, then put us on this planet to see how long it takes us to reach there I.Q. (what would we do) they visit us ocasionally to help.
