The "Aliens" meme originates from the 2010s and is based on a popular image of Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, a Greek-Swiss television personality and ancient astronaut theorist. In the image, Tsoukalos gestures dramatically with the caption "Ancient Aliens," referencing his appearance on the History Channel show *Ancient Aliens*, where he theorizes that extraterrestrials influenced human history. The meme became widely popular for its humor, often using Tsoukalos’ image to suggest outlandish or absurd explanations for everyday phenomena, typically with the phrase "I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens." The meme’s appeal lies in its exaggerated tone and absurdity.
