"Ancient aliens theory is grounded in a logical fallacy called argumentum
ad ignorantiam, or “argument from ignorance.” The illogical reasoning goes
like this: if there is no satisfactory terrestrial explanation for, say,
the Nazca lines of Peru, the Easter Island statues or the Egyptian
pyramids, then the theory that they were built by aliens from outer space
must be true."
