9 Historical Moments That Prove Aliens Have Visited Earth

7. Dogu

Dogu are small statues of human-like beings that were crafted in Japan between the years 14,000 and 400 BC. Dogu are usually between 10cm and 30cm tall and made from clay. The reason for their construction is lost but it is speculated that they were used as part of ancient healing and fertility rituals. The statues are rarely found in one piece and so it is believed that people once believed that ailments could be transferred from a human to the Dogu and then destroyed.

An alternative explanation for the origin of the Dogu exists within the U.F.O. community and stems from the unusual appearance of the statues. The Dugo appear to resemble humanoids wearing some kind of stylised space suit. The figurines all have a helmet-like head with large round eyes as well as enlarged, almost armoured, arms and legs. Speculation exists that the Dogu were actually modelled after aliens who visited prehistoric Japan and made contact with its human inhabitants.
