So this was a thing. Thoughts? It doesn't surprise me the least.
This was posted awhile ago, in a collection of older men who decided to say this before dying. Someone will toss the word conspiracy and it goes back to the pile.
If someone could for once make up their mind. You won't give cred to a young man for claiming UFO witness, and old folks are killing time before they die. What exactly do you need to believe these things? Lets say this was true for a moment. If all evidence was cleared and/or taken from the person coming out trying to whistle on the govt, what do they do? Shut up? That man, if honest, has more balls than you have / ever will have. (I'm neutral in UFOlogy. I don't believe we're being visited but I'm not arrogant to think it's impossible.)
As my signature points out, we're just one insignificant little world in a sea of stars. I personally think it is likely that the universe is teaming with intelligent life, and that not a single one of them would ever care that we exist or bother to come here.
If a fat kid falls in the forrest and no one is around do the trees laugh?You're an insignificant speck of a person sitting on an insignificant speck of a world orbiting an insignificant speck of a star in an insignificant speck of a galaxy. Literally, no one cares what you think.

What if we are the aliens? Like look at life, who else but humans can handle conquering? I mean killing the dino's makes sense at that point. Turn your snake to a hydra and seed multiple worlds. "Can't cut the head off the snake." You could never remove our species even if you attacked one of our worlds.
Had another story idea where we get attacked by robots run by humans who seeded this planet, half the story is the earthlings fighting to survive and you see this twist where the enemy is you and you have issues picking who to side with. Let fear create conflict into counter conflict. No rights, just many wrongs.
People fighting against people who look like a loved one they lost, being that persons DNA match.
In my head, it's awesome.

I believe we're not alone, and hell maybe we know there's life on the "earth like plants" Nasa has discovered. There's no reason they'd need to tell us, could you imagine how the world would react if they found out they were not alone in the universe? Same reason why if they discovered how to travel at the speed of light, they would not release anything like that to the public for a very long time, we have no use for it. Sure it's cool, but it's not information that would be helpful and useful, it'd cause more harm than good.
The ending of a pretty good Nic Cage movie called Knowing made me think that, and it's very possible. But it wasn't exactly like that, but basically they(being "aliens") took all the kids to another planet to start all over because our planet was doomed by some huge solar flare and the end scene before the credits is kids running towards a tree that of course looks like the Tree of Life.
"What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."
Maybe if these people would actually give us some proof, we might have a reason to not think they're nutbags.
That's ridiculous. Scientists publish a lot of articles that most people don't even understand, but they still publish it for the ones that are interested. There is no reason to keep things from the general public.
And how would I react if they announced we are not alone? I don't think I would live my life any differently to be honest. It would be cool to know, but my life would go on as normal.
He was reading a script. Listen to the words. There's an anti-one world government conspiracy movement that uses the exact language he does.
Your signature is a poor attempt at some pseudo-intellectual poignant thought. I'm fairly sure most people know we're tiny in the grand scheme of the universe, but the end of it is pretty silly sounding. Tons of people care what I think, my friends, my family/kids/wife.
OT: Anyhow... It sounds like some old guys trying to stir up some controversy before they die. Personally, I don't what the point is in speculating about it. We don't have the technology to try to find them really, and supposedly tons of people have been "abducted" or have seen them and they are generally discredited by the public. So we can't go to them and if they're coming to us people don't believe it.
It not only relies on our own technological advancements but those of other civilizations. Plus the universe is pretty goddamn huge. If there's no life within our own galaxy the chances of running into an extra-galactic species is ridiculously small.
So yeah, I am gonna go with Unlikely...not impossible, but unlikely. Just that it's unlikely I'll win the lottery.
Any intelligent species incapable of keeping their presence unknown or secretive would be impossible to hide by the government unless there have only been a very limited number of encounters.
At best the government could have come across a radio signal or telescope image that confirmed aliens, still very hard to keep a secret.
There is no way the government could keep aliens a secret for very long, the NSA Can't even stop technicians from leaking secrets.
