The Enigma of Samson

Franklin R. Ruehl - 1 August 1990

From Ancient Skies, Vol 16, No 6. (1990)

Was Samson, the legendary muscleman of the Old Testament, an extraordinarily strong human or an extraterrestrial hybrid? While considerable attention has been focused on the possibility that Eve was created by means of an alien genetic engineering stratagem, the mystery enveloping Samson’s birth has been virtually ignored by paleovisitologists. Yet, there abide a hextet of factors arguing for the involvement of ancient astronauts in the life of Samson:

• Samson’s mother, the wife of Manoah, a Danite, was approached by an angel. Innumerable ufologists have speculated that angels were in reality ETs.
• Samson’s mother had been barren, yet the angel assured her that she would bear a son. Most likely, an advanced alien in-vitro fertilization technique was performed upon her, analogous to the type of procedure that is being routinely carried out on infecund women today.
• The angel warned her not to consume wine or any other alcoholic beverage. This admonition is certainly suggestive of the type of warnings being issued today to mothers-to-be for the protection of their fetuses, indicating an advanced state of medical knowledge in biblical times that an alien being might possess.
• When the angel bade farewell to Manoah and his wife, he rose in a flame toward heaven (Judges 13:20). This description of his departure remarkably mirrors a report of a spacecraft ascending into the sky, again arguing for the idea that the angel was in actuality an ancient astronaut.
• Samson was possessed of superhuman, non-terrestrial strength, which strongly suggests that he was an alien hybrid, part-human, part-ET, created by advanced extraterrestrial biomedicine.
• Samson’s renowned strength derived from his hair, not his muscles, as in ordinary mortals, thus persuasively arguing for the hypothesis of a hybrid entity.
