Giorgio Tsoukalos is famous for his theories about ancient aliens who visited Earth thousands of years ago – and for his frankly incredible meme-friendly hair.

Tsoukalos’s legendary mane was on display this month at the UFO Summit 2018 conference in Brazil – and he now has a timeframe for when the aliens might come back.

Tsoukalos reckons that aliens might be watching us, and waiting for the moment when humans are ‘more friendly with each other’.


His views were echoed by another ancient aliens enthusiast, Erich von Daniken, author of Chariots of the Gods, who was also at the conference.

Tsoukalos says, ‘In my opinion, it is that we, as a society, we need to become more friendly with each other.

‘We really need to start looking at ourselves and say, you know, we are all brothers and sisters on this planet, we really are.



‘And it is up to us to clean up our house, here on Earth. And I think then, after we cleaned up our mess, that’s when they will make contact.’

Von Daniken agreed, saying to Sputnik, ‘We have to learn to become humble. We are not unique. We are not the crown of creation, neither the top of evolution. We are just one of the millions of species in outer space. They will come back. They will teach us again.’

Have tentacled aliens – or possibly Cthulhu – been dropping in on our planet on the quiet for centuries, spotted only by a few artists? That’s the conclusion ancient alien fans have arrived at, after what looks like a flying saucer spewing out tentacled beasts was spotted in a painting in Florence. The painting, Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist hangs in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence – and has become a magnet for UFO oddballs. Website Ancient Aliens said, ‘The UFO is of the familiar dish or saucer shape with rays radiating from it, implying it is emitting light. ‘Also, in the upper left of this painting are strange creatures under the sun. Another close up is offered of these tentacle-like creatures. ‘Are these also aliens?’ Well, the short answer is – probably not. Art experts say that the ‘saucer’ and ‘aliens’ are actually angels, who are not always depicted as having human form. Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, says, ‘There are numerous examples of what to our modern eyes look like astronauts and spaceships in ancient and religious artworks. ‘What we have to understand that artists in the past did not adhere to literal representations of things and often used symbolism to tell a story to give greater meaning to the picture.
