Exactly, this is the point I've been trying to make...why would they sprint through the galaxies to earth and NOT make themselves known? If they have something to contribute or some great knowledge they want to impart why haven't they? If they want to anihilate us all again why haven't the? They've had plenty of opportunity over the centuries and yet I'm expected to believe all sorts of stories about deals made with Governments to remain secret and yet there are hundreds of sightings a week all over the world. They allegedly occasionally make themselves known to the odd person who then probably posts it on ATS lol all the information of the galaxies spiritual enlightenment God and everything...whereas I feel pretty sure if I was an alien with such information I'd be hijacking the first tv station i could get my hands on and announcing to the world we're here and we aint going nowhere, and I'd probably start a new religion to get my point across lol

It all seems too conveniently lacking in substance

Besides which who's to say these aliens have anything to impart at all? They could be a warlike race of beings hellbent on anihilating the romulans for all we know...and that's the point...all we know and we know nothing really

Shame though...it could have been the icing on the cake. People simply spoil it and blur the truth with their lies and hoaxes and personality disorders which is so annoying for the rest of us trying to get answers and investigate. I get jaded sometimes I must admit

So you feel that they introduced genetic engineering to us? I've thought that myself for a long time but I'm at a loss to know why they would do such a thing as to what purpose it serves them.

Sorry I'm not quite getting the drift of your posts I don't think, are you saying the aliens are the teachers? Could you elaborate a touch?

I have researched for years on this subject, doesn't mean to say I don't have questions and aren't open to new input though

If they are real and here the best explanation I have heard is they are here to harvest biological specimens for their own ends. We have all read or heard about some pregnacy that was, then wasn't?

This explanation has never made any sense to me at all. If they are so advanced why not just get 10 males and 1,000 females and take them off planet and breed them like cattle and you would have millions in a short amount of time.

Why should they bother?

It would be expensive and difficult to raise specimens outside their habitat, be susceptible to diseases and developmental problems, and it would result in lower genetic diversity and perhaps unnatural epigenetic effects. And they'd riot. And poop. And you'd have to feed them, and teach them.

And ET might be collecting other non-human specimens as well. Just because they're advanced doesn't mean they won't do what's expedient for them.

Think about it like a businessman.

Now, with 1,000s of utube vids posted of supposed UFO's I've become jaded, and almost sometimes doubtful of my own experiences. I wonder if other people feel this way.

One thing I have noticed, personally, over the past 50 years. In earlier years, without the technology we currently have, UFO reports were much more exciting and thought provoking to me. I think that's because we couldn't debunk them as readily as we can now. They seemed more possible and mysterious back then.

Pretty much has to be true? Says who? If all was obvious then we wouldn't be debating all would be clear and above board

Obvious doesn't make it true. Obvious to one is unclear to another.

I'm not trying to be difficult here but blanket statements like its obvious without any sort of back up evidence or proof or even an explanation, means very little.

I could state that its obvious to me that aliens have always been here always will be and contribute jack sh*t to our lives....wouldn't make it true
