Our perspective of space and ourselves is more than a little warped.
Beyond the riffraff of countless small asteroidal bodies, our solar system has nine, positively known, planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and maybe Pluto. Our place is relatively comfortable. –Remember that.
On Earth, we have progressed to where our unguided efforts for a modern civilization is literally eating us out of home and environment. As a matter
of course, we longingly look to escape to space. We eventually will seek out stars and planets that have the conditions and raw materials we need to
survive and to continue our quest. We commonly say that we will be going to those places out of necessity. Such actions are more exciting than
cleaning house, and more of a delusional lust.
So, in cutting to the bone here about ET visitors to Earth, we should consider what are visiting aliens wanting from us. Are they primarily here for
fun or profit? Or for some esoteric reason such as a cosmic brotherhood? In truth, the game is theirs to play. We can’t stand and watch but are
pressed into service by their rules. Do they want our hearts and minds or our physical resources? Once their foot is in the door, their “to-do
list” takes precedent over our lives.
In contemplating visits to Earth from alien beings with their own wants and needs, we must wonder about their reasons for coming—or rather more
directly for our sake, what was to be the result upon us from the visit? If earth’s history of human exploitations of humans is any judge, we might
want to think long and hard about this point. Explorations almost inevitably lead to exploitation and in the worst cases, slavery and annihilation.
The explorer always has the advantage. Establishing an alien “beachhead” on Earth would need a form of practically. Trade with a world of very
primitive humans seems absurd. How about they peddling a soothing spiel? “We come in peace,” isn’t that a dandy way to begin an entrance to
any transaction?? Good for the cosmic soul, right, brotherhood and all of that stuff? …With serious secret negotiations to follow in due
course.
Many of us on ATS have an interest in learning about the murky details of ancient, crude mines for gold, silver, diamonds and other ores found on
various continents of Earth. Quite puzzling. These suspected mines are usually ignored because they fall outside the parameters that have been applied
to the various stages of assumed human development at those early times and places. Plus, while the physical earthworks of such mines may be evident
to a trained eye, the artifacts for the proper dating of the periods are scant or missing. The timelines of most human activity have been set in
stone, so to speak, and the stark, bare evidence of such mines are thankfully ignored, not supported by substantial evidence.
Space travelling beings need resources to keep themselves going unless they have truly magical powers. The required materials must come either from
their solar family or from another. Once a life form gains the means to leave their home planet, they will need to replenish basic materials from the
new territories or simply return home to restock.
Any one of our solar planets also may have the required resources in their surface areas but in those inhospitable places such work would have
involved very specialized equipment and resources perhaps beyond the means of the traveling visitors. None of the other planets or moons have
breathable atmospheres, some are too hot or violent, some are too large with oppressive gravities, some moons are too small with poor gravities. But
Earth seems to have been tailor-made. (With lots abundant water and cow parts.)
If the ETs primary motivation was to travel the stars to mine materials from visited planets, then Earth was exactly fitted to their several needs
with its available multiple ores, mild physical environment and a ready-made work force for the grunt work. A win-win for them! A place to revisit,
time and time again!
Think about it: How would the ETs gain their materials solely on their own? Would they be equipped to venture out, suited or not, into earthen
dog-hole mines with their own hands/claws and shovels? Would they carry around robust robotic mining equipment to dig for diamonds, copper, silver,
and iron? They likely had the sciences to search the Earth’s surfaces for what they sought, (as we do today) but not the ability to collect or
refine the materials. Ore was obtained by labor, and there is evidence that it was smelted to some extent in those same areas, but where did it go
from there? Was it shipped off to massive factory ships orbiting overhead, or slung in powered containers far beyond to other places? (Perhaps done
even today under secret governmental programs.)
Maybe we should wonder if their honest and immediate motives, again, their needs and wants, were of only two physical things, ores and bodies to
work the dirt and stone? Could we be easily suckered into being slaves to a higher power? Would it be above-board mutual and decent contracts with
aliens contracting for human labor or something less than fair? This gets dicy, as they would indeed have the advantage. Let us ponder. Such could
be underhanded contracts also. Did they or another species on earlier interventions gift to ancient rulers rudimentary sciences, governments, and
amazing stone structures? Rulers who then put on the backs of the workers the physical load to unearth and move the materials?
To be sure, Earth rulers, past and present would make any agreements to their advantage over the welfare of the masses. In retrospect, who would
benefit from alien contact? Trickle down economics really drips slowly down and may entirely evaporate on the way.
We may want to compare this earlier scenario to the current arrival of ETs, what we don’t know about them, and how our governments have been acting,
and finally, what it means to each be a human citizen.
While the prehistoric visits of aliens left multiple traces in various points on Earth for us to recognize that they were here, why do we not know
exactly of them? --Maybe they left us to our own preoccupations but also left pyramids, a zodiac or dozens of molded rock structures as mementoes. I
must wonder were those better times or a time of cursing the Heavens? And have they returned?
