Their colleagues and friends/family they knew will most likely be long dead? Assuming they have friends, family and colleagues and that they even die!!!!
Your logic only works if your assumptions are true. If your first assumtion fails, the whole argument fails.

Originally posted by wigitPardon my cheek but why did you ask such a daft question in the first place then?
Most UFO/alien "believers" don't think the visiting spacemen came all the way from zeta wotsit to stick a bb up our noses and then fly all the way back home.

That has been my experience with those of the UFO community. Aliens don't obey any laws of physics, and can soar through hyperspace with ships equipped with anti-gravity machinery, but yet don't have anything better to do with their time but spy on the primitive earthlings.

What else could they possibly be doing?
The problem I have with this "anti-gravity" concept is that it is proposed by people who don't even understand the advanced mathematics of gravity. Much of gravity remains a mystery to even the top mathematical and theoretical physicists. Hell, all I even know about gravity thus far is what I've learned in my undergraduate general relativity and applied topology classes, and that's not much[/qute]
You should expand your horizons,,,
Dipolar Graviotmagnetic fields: Not quite antigravity, but, it seems a source of artificial gravity and, more importantly, Inertial Frame dragging: www.hpcc-space.de...
Zero point energy: Some conversion techniques yield an effect that seems to cancel mass: www.calphysics.org...
These two devices will yield a craft not unlike today's UFO reports. If you configure the dipolar equipment correctly you can build an FTL craft, and fit all of the system into the space shuttle. Which basically means that you T. Humans could build a FTL ship NOW! And, travel anywhere you want. It is, however, by FTL standards, rather slow, but it would take you to Sirius in only a few months (8 ly).

1. Many people have claimed that UFO's can accelerate 90 degrees relative to their position and other maneuvers that contradict the underlying physical principles of current propulsion technology. What many scientists have concluded is that such aerial maneuvering can create gravitational forces so great (hundreds of times that of Earth) and would flatten any living creature like a pancake. Your take on this?
2. To cross the vast distances of the stars, it is known without a doubt that any engine that is used would need to be extremely vast and thus requires a huge star ship. Most UFO reportings are of objects from as small as 3 m across to a one mile. Such machinery is not capable of achieving the high speeds required to cover the astronomical distances in a feasibly short time, and any advanced civilization capable of travelling to the stars would not waste such high amounts of energy or a long time to just spy on humans. Your take on this?
3. An alien civilization capable of travelling to the stars has most likely mastered the physics of optics, and have cloaking technology at their disposal. Not only that, but they have also most likely mastered nanotechnology and the many other scientific areas that we have yet to even begin to slightly understand. In practice, would it not be feasible to have unmanned, cloaked aircraft that are very small but sufficient enough to serve the purpose of spying on humans?
I'll come up with more questions as the thread progresses.
