Should we really be trying to make contact ? Image Credit: PD - Comfreak / Pixabay
Former CIA operative Darrel Sims maintains that attempting to contact intelligent aliens is a very bad idea.
Sims, who has spent 38 years researching the alien abduction phenomenon, claims to have had his first encounter with the unknown when an extraterrestrial entity appeared in his bedroom and tried to manipulate his thoughts when he was a mere four years old.
He described how the alien had tried to alter his perception to make him think that it was only a clown.
Nowadays, Sims remains adamant that these alleged extraterrestrial visitors are anything but benign. In his view, they are manipulative beings who victimize humans in various different ways.
For this reason, he argues, attempting to make contact with ET would be a mistake.
"It's an uninformed position for [SETI etc.] to get in contact with whoever's out there," he said. "Some people have done that and died as a result. Some people have been injured."
The event to which he refers allegedly occurred in 1994 when a movie and television production crew who attempted to contact aliens by shining lights at a known UFO hotspot mysteriously disappeared.
It is unclear however who these individuals actually were or whether there is any merit to the story.

I just had this thought, suppose that ufos and underwater ufos are real, since we havent been invaded could it be that these ufos are part of some sort of refuggee camps, where instead of invading they hide, and if they hide what or who do they hide from? So no, we shluld not try and contact ets
I've been saying for some time in these UFO boards that I thought they were from planets that were destroyed or turned unlivable. Just a theory but one to ponder because planets do get destroyed all the time. So where do inhabitants go?
Assuming anyone out there ever invented startravel, FTL, Warp Speed or the much loved hyperdrive. If no one did then it would be pretty much impossible to visit another civilisation because of the crazy distances involved. The galaxy might be filled to the rim with intelligent inhabitants but we will never know because they are and will always be to far away.
I agree with you but naturally, I do assume that civilizations far more experienced than ours have found such a reasonable way to traverse a galaxy. That may sound crazy but if you told children in 1900, before anyone ever flew, that they will live to see the day that man lands on the moon, that would sound just as crazy. Humans have been around a mere 1/4 million years and most of our technology discovered in the last few hundred. The MW galaxy is 13.4 billion years old so, humans of planet earth are the embryos of this galaxy and we are just beginning to emerge. I have full confidence that s... [More]
Unless god ol Albert was right, and the speed of light is the universal speedlimit. If that is the case then the neighbours might know of eachother but they/we will never meet. We might as well be alone.
I really don't think so. We have been dreaming of going to the moon for centuries. One of the first films depicted this in 1902 That means we are amongst the oldest parts of the universe. The universe had to evolve too, what indicates that other life is likely to have existed millions of years before wea mansged to make the journey from single celled organisms to complex intelligent life? What makes you confident that physics is wrong or can be circumvented? How strong is your knowledge of physics which says light is as fast as anything can go? (and you have to be massless to achieve that ... [More]
