Although this incident was the source of the idea that greys come from Zeta Reticuli, if memory serves it was demonstrated that this resemblance could be explained entirely as a chance similarity.


Yes it was pure chance. Almost every person that has had an abduction experience is worse off. Some of them have quite miserable lives. Wouldn't a superior race want to help, even if just a tiny bit?


what if they are demons?

Besides.. if you've actually heard of what the aliens to do people.. 'helping' is not something they do... they like to breed people with aliens and do crazy experiments. Help has nothing to do with it. They aren't human beings.

You have to go all the way back to that woman that was shown a map of 'trade routes' and after years of searching someone found some star system that resembled it. Nobody has been given any scrap of information, or physical artifact. You'd think someone would sneak a metallic hydrogen ashtray into their pocket. I understand the whole Star Trek thing about meeting a primitive race and not giving them any info, but not even something beneficial? A formula for a super vitamin, or a cure for the common cold, or the method for storing hydrogen?


Before assuming what they will do, you have to know what their purpose is.


Besides, in the past if they were here, they were worshipped as Gods. . and there have been some strange technologies discovered in the past. A giant battery was found somewhere.. but by no means were they advanced. I think knowledge was given, but not enough to really make something advanced... obviously the aliens would be smart enough to know whether they can maintain a technology.. the technology has to match the phase of technology that is already there. It has to be maintainable..

A battery was found in a Baghdad museum. But it was quite small, about the size of a salt shaker, and generated about 1 volt. There are some anomalous finds, but to attribute them to aliens is insulting to the intelligence of ancient peoples. Like the stuff about aliens building the pyramids. You don't hear that one much anymore, but it was popular back when.

As I said earlier, it was Carl Sagan who started the 'waste of space' stuff. The universe is the size it is, and it's not our judgement call. Also it's quite amusing that serious scientists are always on about aliens being out there, but won't talk to anyone who says they've seen one.

no, MOST scientists do not even approach the subject, because they risk losing their reputation... the scientific community is very black and white about anything of that nature. aliens, ghosts..

I dont think aliens built the pyramids... I think people did, because aliens aren't slaves.. if anything the aliens were the pharoahs..

LOLOL.. the right evidence is THERE.. it's just that not enough of it is provable evidence.. there are photographs of aliens there, to be seen.. but they are so easily passed off as faaake. you can't bring that stuff in to any kind of debate. But the typical skeptic will say 'until I see a picture, I wont believe!' But the most irritating part about it is.. even when the skeptic sees the picture, he still doesn't believe.

Hardly anyone mentions Thor Hyerdal these days. He replicated the creation of one of the statues on Easter Island using easy to make tools. People look at the huge size of stone carvings and immediately think that primitive peoples couldn't have done that, they were primitive ! !!

I don't think aliens created the Easter Island Heads... mmm.. no.. thats a dumb example.. a better example would be stone henge, but I dont think aliens did that either, I think giants did that. you're lumping everyone who believes in aliens into a pile, a pile that you consider unintelligent, so you prevent yourself from even letting your mind believe that it's possible by thinking of more intelligent ways to analyse the situation.

Everyone wants to seem smart, and dismissing futile claims is an easy way to achieve that.. but there's no reason to believe that aliens haven't come or that they aren't already here.. using logic to come up with a eason they aren't here is just as misleading as ignoring all of the people who have seen aliens with their own eyes, been abducted, etc.

Even if half of the UFO sightings have been government projects.. they had to come from somewhere.. it is the direct result of alien technology..
And hundreds if not thousands of people have claimed to have seen aliens. All it takes is one to be true.. I will dismiss a multi-mass fabrication, especially with one so consistent.

but I won't get into that.

Its higly illogical that there are other beings "creating" human history... Because it wouldnt be our history anymore would it?

can i point out that the many so called "ooparts" (out of place artifacts) such as the Baghdad battery, the Greek computer found of the coast of Britain, diagrams of electrical circuits from Egypt etc etc are not proof of aliens. believe it or not but our brains didn't suddenly jump to a point where we can make scientific progress within the last few hundred years, our brains have been that way for sometime, we didn't need E.T's help for that. :roll:

^I agree with what you're saying about our minds, but, I do believe there is other forms of life out there. The question is......have they figured out some way to travel great distances? Are they advanced enough, or, are we the most developed species in the universe? We may never really know. :)

But wouldnt some lone world be a perfect testing ground for things, all they need to do is small changes and there will be nothing hard, maybe a lot of events are just manipulation of aliens. find orld inhabited by dinosaurs kill them off with some technology maybe createing a comit hit, then maybe even genetic alterations, possibly humans may come from a simular genetic varients to these aliens, testing to see if they could create a new species and see how we grow. Maybe trying to see, what there own could have been like, maybe some ideas of god are a genetic memory, and we were made in there image. Maybe they think a new species could bring something to progress, like fresh ideas.
