While I am sensitive to your feelings and concerns, it would be perhaps helpful for you to consider a few important alternatives which, if understood might allay your fears and bring you peace of mind on this subject.i_am2bz said:I've never seen a UFO, nor do I ever want to. Even watching them on TV creeps me out. (kinda like tornados; TV is the closest I wanna get)
I do have recurring dreams about aliens invading the earth - scary nightmares where I realize the stars in the sky are actually spaceships - wonder what that means...??
First, let's assume (I believe correctly) that the basic premise (i.e. the NULL HYPOTHESIS) is TRUE, i.e. there are "UFO" vehicles that transport others from place to place in the universe.
The fact that CNN says it is so, frankly carries no weight with me considering the voluminous "dis-information" the MSM disseminates as a general rule.
As I said in my initial post, if they can design, build and operate a vehicle that can travel that far, in some reasonable amount of time, as well as make it fly in and out of the proximity of an atmospheric planet (entering and leaving the gravity fields with a suitable propulsion system) and manage the physiologic stresses of such travel, it is a good and reasonable assumption that they are significantly more advanced both technologically (and hopefully "psychologically/spiritually")and capable THAN WE ARE ON EARTH.
It is also reasonable to assume that they have developed other much higher forms of technology with respect to defensive as well as offensive weapons should they feel the need for them.
Additionally, given that advanced state of technology and capability it would also be reasonable to assume that given those abilities, (especially the weaponry capability) they would be able to destroy (should they so desire) this planet (and anything on it) and do so at a time of their own choosing (which in our time reference may have been millions of years ago) or could be any time in the future.
It should also be reasonable to assume that such an technologically advanced society of (human) beings would be able to find anything they need in the universe such as raw materials, etc., and not just here on earth but ANYWHERE in the universe on any planet that exists, not just ours.
Now therefore, with these assumptions, it may now be easier to see that whoever they are, and from wherever they have come, they have NOT chosen to destroy us, enslave us, or take us prisoner or even interfere with us other than to possibly prevent us from destroying our own planet with thermo-nuclear weapons (a concept for which I am personally quite grateful).
Given those parameters of consideration, it would be my guess that seeing one of their vehicles is in no way something that should engender fear or concern. You would no more be afraid of a police officer or soldier who stopped someone from robbing or killing you.
I hope with this analogy, you may feel more at ease about what we are discussing here. It seems clear to me that most if not all "reasonable" human beings (regardless of what planet they inhabit) want the same things..."Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
I doubt anyone other than the most evil of beings would have it any other way. While we know such evil does exist (as evidenced by the Nazi's and Islamic extremists among others throughout history), it would not seem all that reasonable to assume that this is the "rule, not the exception" in the cosmos. The ability to conquer and the choice to do so may be disparate for reasonable minds.
Of course, you could argue that they could possess the evil intent so often portrayed in the movies, but then why wait till 2012 to do it? If we had what they want, they could get it any time they wanted...so why be afraid?
What is important is that because we, human beings on earth, (as opposed to human beings from another planet) fear the unknown, our response to such ideas frequently includes the use of violence to "defend ourselves" from such "invasion". (Remember the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still"? It is a very good lesson in this very subject. At least the movie maker took the concept and presented both sides of the "arguement".
If enough people have enough fear, civil un-rest and panic easily abound and then we see the reactions which occurred during the radio show "War of the Worlds" in 1939. That really did happen. The "aliens" weren't here but people without adequate information made incorrect and obviously dangerous assumptions to the contrary which resulted in mass hysteria and catastrophe for many.
Consider the possibilities herein offered and also give consideration to the concepts that much of the "technological advancements" made by us on earth (e.g. starting with how to make fire) might have been given to us by these "aliens" in an effort to help us grow and develop. The possibilites of such considerations are endless and can if allowed, bring us feelings of comfort and peace. We are using this computer to communicate, aren't we? Where did THAT technology come from? Was it REALLY just a weather balloon that crashed in Roswell in 1949?
Hopefully, you will consider these possibilities as well as your own fears when you think about this in the future and hopefully come to a conclusion that eliminates fear and concern. It's a lot more fun to NOT be afraid if you ask me. I remember a scene in a movie with Will Smith. He is a US Marine pilot who beats some evil alien pilot to a pulp and steals their space craft. Don't ask me how he knew how to fly it but I completely shared his reaction to flying it..."I GOT to get me one of these..."
YMMV
