A lot of people call him “The Aliens Guy” for the meme of him saying “NOT SAYING IT WAS ALIENS… BUT IT WAS ALIENS”. Before that viral success he was most known from Ancient Aliens on H2 (The History Channel). He was an outspoken advocate of disclosure sharing stories and proof from Ancient times of ETs and their involvement in human history all the way back to the Pyramids of Egypt and other landmarks around the world. He helped greatly popularize this perspective called the “Ancient Astronaut Theory”, that aliens were the ancient astronauts seen in paintings and texts from thousands of years ago, and that they were part of humans coming up on major advances in technology and construction.
