are these just thoughts? with some conspiracy there's smoke but I don't even see smoke for ET's. That is unless the only smoke we have is Roswell. I want to believe!

Wow. So either you beleive in aliens, even without reason, or you are just some close minded fool who can't think for himself eh?
There are those that know something is going on because they have experienced alien contact on one level or other and they want to know more. Unfortunately it’s from this group that come the worst kind of skeptics; demanding proof, they want to be able to kick the tires and take a test drive in an alien ship before they invest any more of their emotions into the belief of ET.
People who've had alien contact, but still don't beleive it? Who are you talking about????
For them extraterrestrial existence implies the inferiority of humans, and that is not acceptable for them.
And who has said this? That aliens must not exist, because it'd mean humans aren't special????
If our planet is so mind boggling varied in ideas and life forms how much more so the infinite universe we live in?
What does a person's answer to that question have to do with the existence of evidence for alien life or even alien contact with humans??? Scientifically, there's nothing standing in the way of extraterrestrial life. Indeed, it seems reasonable, given the evidence, to accept that life does exist elsewhere in the universe. As far as the issue of 'intelligence', we don't even understand human intelligence all that well, and to say the least its a product of specific series of evolutionary events. We can no more expect life on other planets to be intelligent, in the way that humans recognize intelligence, than to expect that they have 'eyes', organs that process a very narrow band of electromagnetic radiation emited from stars, into visual 'images'.
I have a blog under construction from where I will share a sample of my extraterrestrial experiences; for some my stories will be nothing but delusional leaps of fantasy, for others perhaps a bit of an eye opener of what is out there in the billions of star systems, which are astonishingly similar to our own, yet some incredibly and vastly more advanced.
If they'd be considered delusions to some people, then that seems to imply that you have no evidence, of any kind, to back them up.
So why should anyone beleive stories that you are telling, without anything in the way of evidence to back them up? Regardless of how they feel about extraterrestrial life?
P.S. There is talk about splitting the UFO board into scientific and fanciful story telling sections. Since scientific implies theoretical this thread of mine and my blog squarely belong in the other board should one be created, because there is no theoretical to extraterrestrial visitations nor to any of my experiences---
So, again, they're just ideas that you've come up with, one way or another.
And I don't recall there being any talk amoung board administration to divide the UFO forum up into peices.
I’m telling my story and will be allowed to tell some of it as long as I keep with the no smoking rules
So, for clarity and the record, you're going to be telling stories on your blog and here about alien contact. They could be real. They could be fictional. They could be delusions. They could be factual. We won't have anything to help us determine if they are, either way.

i thought nano tech. is man made?
Nannotechnology is designing molecules for specific functions, such as creating molecular 'engines' or molecular wires that can transmit current, or thin-films that can perform any number of fucntions.
They're not 'alive' so I don't think nannotechnology can generally be considered a type of life-form.
Man has created life, the university at Stonybrook in the US took a collection of raw, non-living chemicals, and, using the polio virus as a blueprint, assembled a poliovirus. It functioned like any other virus when they were completed. So, and of course this depends on whether you accept virsuses as alive or not, there are then man-made lifeforms out there. Neverminding, of course, genetically engineered organisms.

The vast majority in fact will remain asleep to reality and continue to live in the illusions crafted for us by religions, scientists, and politicians---to each his or her own.
They do exist!

For some the real conundrum is why contactees are not on the same page with their stories? Reasonable inquiry
Earth is being visited by many extraterrestrial entities that are also not on the same page with each other, let alone with humans, therefore conflicting accounts with contactees are the norm not the exception.

The problem w/ this whole thing is that anyone can claim anything, with near impunity, on the internet. Regardless of if the claim is even true or not, if they claim something and it goes well
The solution is that we, as an internet community, police ourselves to a higher degree than even the normal public would. That way, if WE believe, and can justify it relatively well, than it might begin to convince a broader group of non-believers or on-the-fence people.
To do so, we need to ask for proof. Something. Anything. Something other than a poster's word. Many of the claims here could be relatively easy to prove, if they were real. Unfortunately, most of those posters are probably frauds, and i'm sure you've seen plenty of them too.
However, don't automatically write off the skeptics, they do serve a valuable purpose in a world where anyone can claim anything.
believe me its not easy sneaking information out in a world preoccupied with keeping the masses fast asleep.

Oh yea...here's your proof:
In July 1952, UFOs repeatedly paraded across the sky right over the White House, in front of god and everybody, displaying their technological superiority. As a matter of fact, this happened twice over a two week period. There were thousands of witnesses in and around the District of Colombia. This event was photographed by reporters. The story made the front page of The Wahsington Post, The New York Times, et al.
If you don't believe it, do the research.
