Plain and simple, this type of ignorant nonsense makes this subject impossible to take seriously at times. And the sheer amount of people that lap up this nonsense scares the heck out of me.
what we have here is amazing and all in all life~
which we're wasting and turning to death.

For those of who believe this, when a nuclear weapon is used in either a terrorist attack or war, what will your excuse be? How will you rationalize it?

It hasn't been proven wrong; as the OP already pointed out there is a difference between testing a nuclear weapon and using one in anger.

In the second case you have a weapon used to effect maximum destruction, mega-casualties and the very likely possibility of runaway nuclear exchange leading to eradication of much of the biosphere.
It's not difficult to imagine that advanced extraterrestrials would be able to make the distinction between the two.

Please, just stop. There are plenty of places where you can live out your fantasies online, why do you have to pollute this board with such utter nonsense? Many people reading this are thinking the same thing, and are happy that someone at least said it.
You don't know anything factual about aliens, ancient societies, or anything related to it. You merely read a bunch of stuff on the internet, decided (sometimes unconsciously) that you need to believe and it was all downhill from there. And with every nonsense response such as you have posted in this thread you only take us all down with you.
Please, if you really love this subject, try not to contribute to the sheer amount of tripe that makes it a laughing joke.
I've pondered UFO activity around nuclear missile sites, plants, etc. I am thinking they could give a rip if we blow each other up.
If they are monitoring, it's only to watch our progress, and make certain they can deal with any weapons system we might have, as we start heading out into space.
We are a very warlike people. If YOU lived in the galactic neighborhood, and a developing warlike planet was creating technology to kill millions instantly, would you monitor it, and make certain you could deal with it necessary? I'd think so.
