Here are a few questions which have always bothered me about the UFO subject. I am not a sceptic by any means - but these things have always driven me just a little bit crazy :-
1) If these visitors are some kind of omnipotent beings - wise and good - millennia ahead of us in evolution and science, then why just stand idly by and allow us to continue to suffer from cancer. Or the plague. Or wartime atrocities? Or French rock music?,
2) Why float around in brightly-lit conspicuous saucers in the dark sky where everyone can easily spot you? Why not camouflage yourself as an aeroplane for goodness sake?
3) Why abduct cattle in the middle of the night, steal their anus's, and then drop the remains next to some terrified farmer's house? If you need something from the cows (some biological compund, perhaps?) , why not just steal one cow, and clone as many as you want aboard your ship? In fact, if you're that advanced, why not just synthesise the product in a lab?
4) Why go to the time and trouble to achieve the technological marvel of ships capable of travelling across the galaxy........ if this outstanding pinnacle of all your science and knowledge crashes embarrassingly as soon as it reaches Roswell?
5) If you are genuinely good guys who wish to pass on all these messages about saving the planet - ehm.... why not just flick some switch on your amazing mothership and do it for us. You know, give us a wee hand here, eh?
6) If you are just bad guys and scoundrels, then why not get on with whatever your dastardly plan is. You're obviously FAR ahead of us with regards to science - it wouldn't be very difficult to achieve your goals, surely?
7) If your vast and advanced civilization has some huge plan for your relationship with humanity, why allow some slimy US politician with a cheap suit and an auto-cue dictate the terms and timescale?
I would appreciate your thoughts (and any additional odd insights you have).edit on 10-7-2011 by Millions because: I forgot to insert the final line in my post.
