Aliens!!
Start talking about aliens and 99% of people just roll their eyes! Of the remaining 1%, half believe there is other life out there. The other half have already been abducted, have "hard evidence" or have started building landing pads in their back yard!
The news article in question (here) quotes a radio interview given by Dr Edgar Mitchell. Basically, all world governemets have been covering this up for "...over 60 years...". He also goes on to say that "...we are visted all the time and number (of visits) is increasing..."
What do I think? Not surprised! Aliens probably look at Earth like taking the family to the zoo. "...wait till you see this!! Your gonna love it!..".
Me personally, what do I think? Well....
The universe is mostly "unknown" for the simple fact, we can't get out there and see for ourselves. Now consider that life on earth exists in places that would be instantly fatal to a human.
So, how arrogant would you be to think, in the vast-ness of space, humans on earth are the best there is! No way!!
I've seen some very strange stuff in my time. As Dr. Mitchell said "...the various governement intelligence communities keep this information secure...". Now being an ex-member of this community, I know for a fact that information is "buried" the instant it can not be explained. Automatically given top classification until such time that an analyst can say "...I know what that is!...". Even for the stupidest of things. My non-disclosure statement expires when I turn 73. I'm writing a fucking book!!!!!!!
But I do digress! Are there aliens, yes. There has to be at least 1 form of life more intelligent than us! Have you ever heard the saying "No matter how good you are, there is always someone better!". I'm a firm believer in this statement. Makes me work harder!!! But yes, gots to be at least 1 out there.
Why are they here? I don't give a shit, but someone should tell them to stay away from the US!!! Maybe we are the intergalactic "zoo"? What better cage than a planet!? And now that we are expanding our foothold into space, the aliens are worried about the "animals escaping the zoo"!!!!! I would!!
What do they want? Refunds on Windows Vista! To make sure McCain doesn't win the election. Force Gordon Brown to resign. Or maybe, we simply have the best Chinese food in this part of our universe!? Who knows, who cares.
If someone moved in next door, you'd go out say hi, make introductions, be pleasant.
If they are coming here, and our respective governments are the only point of contact they have, now that's fucking scary!!!
SO.....
Today I'm starting the "Free Bed and Breakfast for Aliens" campaign! If they're coming for a visit, get them away from our governments! Put up signs! Mow your lawn to make intergalatic landing sites visible from space "Best B&B in Sol!!!" Buy 1000 laser pointers and create your own "space sign" to attract then down!!!!
Come on in my little green friend! While your here, can you fix my car!!! And lobotomze Bush with your phaser gun, I'll sell tickets!!!!
