Exactly, if I knew insects could talk and had a intelligent society I'd get down and have a chat.
But we do. Do they understand us all the time, or do we understand them all the time? No, but we do make contact with other animals, insects, humans, etc.

The same reason we don't go up to the chimpanzees and say "what up, can I hang with ya'll?"

I was saying about how they must be aliens etc and he just stopped me in my tracks by saying "Well why don't they just land and get out?"
Good god, what is with all the hostility around here for the past 12-16 months?

I believe the question was: “why don’t they land?” If you are incapable of speculating about their existence there can be no “they” for you, and you are wasting time.
Now I do not know if “they” are real, but I won’t consign myself to denying the possibility just because I can’t understand them. Once you believe something is impossible you may as well believe that the world is flat.

Because the TPTB still have a military, warlike mentality and would probably try to blast them out of the sky.
Yet they supposedly have no problem cruising around military installations or buzz military aircraft.
Another reason is that as much as we like admitting that we're "ready" for contact, I think a lot of us will still be extremely fearful upon seeing seeing them because we have been conditioned by Hollywood and the media into thinking they're evil monsters who want to take over the planet (well this is partially true with some e.t. races). We like to think we're tough-skinned and could face them but I guarantee you that for some people, they'd have the same knee-jerk fear reaction as if they saw a giant spider crawling up their leg, which is also due to conditioning/learning.
Also they think we may not be ready for visitations but will show themselves in plain view, pretty much announcing themselves. I think it is either unknown natural phenomenon, military aircraft or mistaken identity. ALthough as one poster said..if they do exist maybe they are afraid of our germs but then again an advanced species would surely have the technology to protect themselves adequetly against them.
