They aren't here 'monitoring' us,
Well they ain't landing at airports and taking in the sights. You watch too much TV. The one craft I saw was indeed monitoring. iIt flew right down the valley bisecting it, the impression I had was it was recording, everything. Industry, biomass, energy, pollution, everything. Just like one of our space probes when it passes a planet or moon. It runs past it, collecting as much data as possible.
(imo)
Any species advanced enough to make it here would be able to do all that from space quite easily, just as we can. There would be no need to even enter the atmosphere.
Sadly, their activities go far beyond "monitoring".

Yes, the aliens, which you don't even believe are here, should behave exactly the way you think they should. Sheesh.
Guess they didn't get your memo.
I don't recall ever stating that they should behave in any particular matter. It stands to reason, however, that if they have the technology to even find us, let alone make it here, that they would be entirely capable of collecting the aformentioned data in ways that are at least comparable to our current, relatively less advanced methods.
It stands to your reason, I understand that, I heard you the first time. Yet it is simply foolish to assume an alien race would do what you would do.
We can understand these aliens only from what we observe and experience.

If they're flying low so that they can collect data, then we don't need to worry about them. They were lucky to even get here.
They won't make any trouble or we will annihilate them.

LOL of course you will, young man, of course you will.

Tell them that. They could have cloaked too, but they didn't. I saw what I saw. You tell me what they were up to.
Reports of them outside the gate or over military bases, interacting with air traffic, at the mouth of rivers, abductions for genetic testing, none of this can be done from space.

Our biggest chance for contact is with alien machines. Machines can be self-replicating, never changing other than adding new information to the whole group. Machines can spend billion of years long after those who created them have come and gone, continually searching to cover the whole galaxy in time. Machines have time on their side, species do not. This would also explain why we see mostly small weird UFOs that could not have life on them unless they are really small.

remote operated from orbit? Sure, why not? But the operators would be nearby.

I just do not think there are any living operators if we are visited, but yes a mother type ship would be rational if the machines were continually replicating. I'm sure they would have figured out how to communicate across vast distances even if the physical travel is much longer. I also do not see people living generation after generation on a ship. Great SF but not something I think most would want to do when you can do it all with machines.

So, apparently anyone, can just throw nonsense, "statement questions" and stupidity out, on ATS. The OP must have "inside" contact... So OP? Why do you "like" aliens more? Do they make you "feel" good about yourself? No rules or obligations? Do aliens "validate" your emotions?

I also feel a closer 'bond' to Aliens than God(s)
I don't believe all the 'Aliens are here to hurt us' rubbish - (If they wanted to they could annihilate us in minutes)
Am I wrong for liking Aliens more than God(s)
