My theory is that the good ones are more advanced, and may be deterring the bad ones from attacking the Earth or intervening negatively. I'm fascinated by the similarities between alien and fairy abduction stories. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiogene Posted July 20, 2018 #30 Share Posted July 20, 2018 UFOs were being reported on a daily basis for 75 years (since WW2), I wonder if the aliens want to make themselves known or they want to remain stealthy to keep a low profile. We would know by now if the aliens are our friends or foes or just visiting, they are studying us to a point they know more about humanity than we know about them.

baronesslucy Posted August 1, 2018 #31 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Like any living things, you most likely have aliens who are friendly and those who aren't so friendly. There could be many groups of aliens or they may be one or two groups. Who really knows. Some people say they exist, others don't believe that they exist. I tend to believe that they do exist. I don't fear the ones who are friendly or are here to help. My fear would be those who came to do harm. Seems like many of the aliens are curious about life on earth and maybe want to help people on earth but it seems like they don't want their presence known. People who have memory of being abducted in bits and pieces but it's very vivid at times. The reaction of most people on earth in coming in contact with an alien would be terror, fear or trying to get away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at least some of the abduction stories are real experiences. They're just sleep paralysis/hypnagogia type events. They could be thoughtforms brought on by fears, conscious or subconscious, that people experience in an altered state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyDaoist Posted September 15, 2018 #40 Share Posted September 15, 2018 There is always the possibility that they are neither friend nor foe. They may simple be drones performing a functionary set of instructions over a period of time on a planet that supports life. Its possible that the whole cover up story is to give the impression that governments actually know about them , have contact etc, while on the other hand they may have no clue as to their purpose, true identity or function whatsoever. The former is a mystery, and everyone enjoys a mystery, while the later is the real scary one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baronesslucy Posted October 23, 2018 #43 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Whenever people have encountered UFO's, the space craft is always more advanced than what is known. I remember someone whose husband was in the military during the Vietnam era telling me that some of the aircraft that people thought were UFO's were actually experimental aircraft or aircraft the military were testing out. Silence or not saying anything was what they did or if people started asking about it would deny doing any military exercises. Most of the UFO's could be Identified but the military chose not to. There have been some cases were the military couldn't ID the aircraft. UFO's seem attracted to areas where military bases and installations are.

+joc Posted November 4, 2018 #44 Share Posted November 4, 2018 More likely is that the UFOs are military aircraft of some kind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl.Of.Trumps Posted November 8, 2018 #45 Share Posted November 8, 2018 When the French, British and Spanish invaded the Americas, what do you think the Indians said about them? I'll bet the Indians didn't lump them all into one "alien" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl.Of.Trumps Posted November 8, 2018 #47 Share Posted November 8, 2018 My point, Myles, was that they were treated differently by the three. The French never slaughtered or enslaved them. They moved in the indigenous ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltie Posted November 10, 2018 #48 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I believe aliens are constantly visiting and/or monitoring the Earth but that they try to keep their presence and technology shielded from us to permit us to evolve naturally. This is the idea put forth in the Zoo Hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_hypothesis As for the colonial European analogy that often comes up in these discussions, I just want to point out that , while many of the colonial powers were indeed quite cruel and exploitative, the worst of the damage inflicted was often unintentional. Though the Europeans were more advanced than most of the indigenous people they encountered, they knew very little about dangerous communicable diseases. There is a famous story of colonists in North America offering blankets to Native Americans as a goodwill gesture, for instance, not being aware the blankets would eventually decimate the tribe by spreading small pox. Many of the plants and animals brought to North America by European settlers interfered with the indigenous food chain, causing great harm. I suppose the point I'm trying to make is that a lot of the damage inflicted by the Europeans was actually due to their ignorance, not their superiority. The Europeans were not as far ahead of the natives as we like to believe. Alien civilizations capable of interstellar travel would probably be so advanced that they would not allow such a multitude of fatal errors to occur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I add that I had heard that the blankets with small pox being given to the Indians was done so deliberately, with the knowledge that the blanket had the small pox.

Until now I did not realize there were some cases where germ warfare was intentional on the part of settlers. There were many different motives involved and obviously some could be said to be downright sinister. For what it's worth, I've always been under the impression the Europeans' attitude was more of indifference rather than malice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
