Everyone has horrible things to say about the government and how stupid they are...yet we're supposed to believe that they are genius enough to hide something like this? Also, why would the aliens ONLY exclusively deal with human government stooges and not with society as a whole? I think "ordinary" men and women are far better to learn from than a bunch of suits. Yes, it's insanely stupid to believe that there are no alien life forms out there, but I just don't believe that any have been to Earth yet. I don't see any real evidence that the world governments are that super smart to hide something like that, or that real aliens are goofy an sneaky enough to not bother trying to talk to the "normal" man in his/her own environment. Dude, millions of people have reported encounters will aliens. They are written off by the media and by many other citizens as crazy or seeking attention.

I don't disbelieve him, but I don't believe him either.
Of course alien technology is better than ours. They got here. We don't even really know how to send a man to the moon anymore. Or put proper heat shields on space craft, for that matter.

And always...ALWAYS it's "I had a dream that the aliens took me, experimented on me, and I went back to sleep...then I woke up in bed." Why don't the aliens ever just come, find a person they want to "experiment on them, and just talk to them? Why all the smoke and mirrors? Why all the "It felt like a dream but it was so real" garbage? Why are these aliens so anti social? If they are supposedly all powerful with ultimate technology why be afraid of us? Why not approach us in a friendly manner and ASK us if they may experiment? If they guarentee my safety, I'd be more than happy to let the aliens take a urine sample or whatever.

Who says that aliens have to be just like us?
That's why they are called aliens to begin with.
They are not like us. They don't look like us. They don't communicate like us. They don't even have sex like us.

Exactly. And George Carlin made a great point about people who believe in God and people who believe in UFOs. The former are highly respected and feared while the latter are ridiculed and shunned. The point he was trying to make is that there is likely more evidence of UFOs than there is evidence of God. Exactly. The same could go for ghosts, Big Foot etc. No one can say it better than George. And please note, it's not a case of knocking monotheists. The thing is though, Is that the whole entire spectrum on this is changed (If you think about it) If you consider the notion that aliens exist (which I believe they do). What we call "evidence" has been catered to us, It's through our eyes and no one elses'. If It's shown (to us) that aliens are real, it would only be because they got HERE, which would make these forms of aliens more intelligent than us. It would mean that alien life forms have always been possible, meaning, that alien life forms have always existed, even some that aren't intelligent. There would even be many different levels of "alien intelligence", some smart, some not. If that's true, then their interpretation, or perception, of "evidence" would be vastly different to ours, and this includes Theic identities. We didn't need to go there for them to believe in us, obviously. Their traveling equipment would have been designed to be sustained in the envoronment of certain planets, in a universe filled with vastly different planets. I believe that they'd have a totally different way of thinking than we do. Having said that, I wonder what their view of the existance of even more intelligent beings would be, and I wonder what their view's of the "evidence" of a Theic Identity's existence would be? As their line of thinking would be vastly different than any human's would be.

This alien stuff really freaks me out. I'm scared now. I'm gonna go make a helmet out of aluminum foil just in case.

I'm starting to think that 2012, even if overhyped, will definitely hold something for us. The London Olympics!!! Yeah ;D
