I still like the idea that we were set down here by aliens from another
planet and are actually, just an experiment due to be terminated...

The actual theory you're referring to goes something like this:

  About two billion years ago, or so, some astronauts from another galaxy
  visited our planet, a lifeless rock in space. They looked around
  raised the flag, took a couple of pictures, and, just before blasting
  off, emptied the toilet.

This is generally referred to as the "garbage theory of evolution".
