Erich von Däniken about….
… UFOs
I have never seen one! I am aware that a major part of the
so-called UFO sightings is fallacies. Nevertheless, I am of the
opinion, there are UFOs. However, the question is: what exactly are
these <Unknown Flying Objects>?
… God
I have never lost my God and I am one of the few people who
still pray every day.
... Critics
Where I made mistakes, I stand by it. However, sometimes you are
criticized wrongly; but I learned to live with the critics. When my
first book was published and I was fiercely attacked, a famous man,
Prof. Dr. Herman Obert, the father of space travel, said to me at
that time: <Mr. von Däniken, such criticism must run off you, like
dirt off a marble pillar.>
… Scientists
I gave many lectures at universities, and consistently seen
lively and heated discussions. I then often had following
experiences: if one doesn’t lie to himself, doesn’t try to bluff and
if one lets the other finishes speaking, in the end both sides did
learn a lot. A scientist of integrity admitted to me after a two of
three hours discussion: Mr. von Däniken, we didn’t know that at all.
I asked other scientists: <Professor, sir, why don’t you bring what
I must do here up for discussion?>. The answer was always, that such
topics must be carried from outside into science. If a scientist
himself would do this, his colleagues would expel him.
… his greatest wish
Until today, I have collected hundred of outstanding signs that
show that the Earth was once visited by aliens. But I don’t have any
single objective proof, for example an artificially made object that
doesn’t come from this planet, that one could show triumphantly to
science. My greatest wish would be that someone, who doesn’t have to
be me myself, finds such an object and presents it still during my
lifetime. |
