A documentary aired on the History Channel has suggested that the Marsa flyovers were built by aliens.
Ancient Aliens is a long-running show that explores the hypothesis that alien astronauts influenced human civilisation thousands of years ago.
But yesterday’s special episode centred around a much more recent event: Saturday’s completion of seven overpasses that connect the centre of Malta to the south.
“Before last week, there was no record of any flyover ever being built in Malta. So I find it hard to believe that such an incredible, advanced feat of civil engineering – more incredible even than the Great Pyramid of Giza – could have been accomplished by humans alone,” said ufologist Giorgio A. Tsoukalos of the project that connects the centre of Malta to the south.
“When you speak to people who witnessed the construction, they report that the builders did not look like Maltese people, and spoke a strange language.”
Tsoukalis suggested that the same extraterrestrial beings that helped build megalithic temples such as Ħagar Qim and Ġgantija had returned with sophisticated technology to direct the construction of the flyovers.
“It’s possible that all the swearing of Maltese people stuck in traffic on Aldo Moro Road reached the aliens’ home planet, and the aliens responded to these distress calls.”
The show also posited that Infrastructure Minister Ian Borg could himself be an alien.
“Think about it – perhaps the reason why he’s so determined to tear down every try in Malta is that his kind are at war with a bloodthirsty race of killer trees,” Tsoukalis said, adding that Prime Minister Robert Abela’s total lack of a discernable personality could be explained in the same way.
