Was Nikola Tesla an Alien, or was he in contact with aliens?

Nikola Tesla was, and still is one of the most unique and influential people in history, so much so that his life’s work has inspired some of the more absurd conspiracy theories of today. These include Tesla being an alien from another planet, or that he was in contact with aliens who guided him in his work, or that he was obsessed with the Egyptian pyramids and found the secrets to ancient technology. These very colorful narratives, although very intriguing, falsely portray and exploit the genius of Tesla.

So where to these conspiracies stem from?

In 1959, sixteen years after Tesla’s passing, Margaret Storm wrote a novel titled Return of the Dove. She revealed that Tesla was originally born on board a spaceship traveling from Venus to Earth in 1856, and was delivered to a Serbian family with the purpose of bringing the world electric power and mass communication systems. She also stated that Tesla developed an apparatus for interplanetary communication in 1838, and his assistants rebuilt it after his death in 1950. This device allowed them to communicate and maintain a relationship with “Space People” who told them of Tesla’s origins. The book is actually pretty good, and might resonante more with people who enjoy spiritual and mystical quest stories, but in all it’s just a fictional story. This story would even reach the FBI, but not because they were curious about “Space People,” but because Nikola Tesla’s nephew, Peter Savo, was in contact with them about Storm’s exploitation of his uncle.

The conspiracy that Tesla was in contact with aliens comes from his experiments in Colorado Springs where he confessed to the press that he had recieved a signal from an unknown source, possibly Mars. He wrote a letter to the Red Cross in 1900 where he says: “I have observed electrical actions, which have appeared inexplicable. Faint and uncertain though they were, they have given me a deep conviction and foreknowledge, that ere long all human beings on this globe, as one, will turn their eyes to the firmament above, with feelings of love and reverence, thrilled by the glad news: “Brethren! We have a message from another world, unknown and remote. It reads: one… two… three.” Tesla would continue to promote the possibility of interplanetary communication for the rest of his life, but he was not in contact with aliens.

A far as Tesla being obsessed with the Egyptian pyramids there is no evidence back these claims. These conspiracies are derived from silly people using Tesla’s inventions to correlate and further promote their far-fetched, evidence-free theories that the Egyptians were visited by extraterrestrials.

Ironically enough, the Office of Alien Property Custodian of the United States did confiscate Tesla’s property after his death in 1943…so maybe he was an alien! ✌️👽
