“Was the Most High a cosmonaut? Setting of the chapter “The Tome of Secrets of the USA”
The zapper is surprised by a question printed on the screen: “Was the Almighty a cosmonaut?” It appears in The Book of Secrets of the USA, broadcast on the History Channel. The documentary series explores all sorts of conspiracy theories, from Kennedy’s crime to the hidden power of Hell’s Angels. In this episode, the White House tries to hide from us that the extraterrestrials have been there for centuries: not only did they build the pyramids, but they are also the main character of the Holy Scriptures.

Unfortunately, Stephen Hawking is more believable when he says that if aliens ever come, it will be to conquer us, if not destroy us. That’s why comedian Louie says that if aliens exist, he’d rather not know. “I already know enough, I don’t need more. I don’t think the “we found a clan from another planet” story has an effective ending, he says in one of his monologues.
