If they ARE here why is it they do not make themselves known in public. Surely they could if they wanted. So why don't they want to?

Clearly, the Earth needs less people.
So be careful what you wish for.

Phage is correct.
Vallee's opinion on the phenomenon has developed over the decades. He does not believe they are off planet extraterrestrials, he believes their origin is much MUCH closer to home.

Potential consequences of interaction. I could go into detail, but for now, ill keep it brief.
However, a paradigm where the world knows that life is teeming in this Universe is not far away, in this man's opinion.

Maybe they don't like you.
I heard that we had to re-create part of the moon landing videos because we were essentially told to bugger off by the ETs- would explain why we've not been back, eh?
Right. Maybe they don't like me. And as for what you or I or any of us have 'heard', this is a phase that has been going on for most of the last century. Second hand, passed along information. Im looking for an experience we can all share together rather than relying upon what may be nothing more than speculation on the part of this guy or that guy.

Vallee is a computer scientist, not an astronomer or exobiologist.
I work in IT, so I guess my opinion is just as valid as his right?
There are no aliens here.
There, that's settled it.

Simple. Because people freak out over literally nothing already. Imagine if they actually were given something of any real substance to freak out about? There would be panic and anarchy.
Most people do not know how to be independent and they need governmental parenting.
I wish it wasn't true. But it is.

wow, that's pretty one sided, and you are so sure of yourself too, that's what is amazing about your answer. Vallee was more than just a computer scientist, you would know if you had done more research, and no, your opinion is not as valid as Vallee's. Have you worked for NASA before? Then your opinion cant even be close to as valid as his, sorry. I'm sure glad I'm not as close minded as you, that would be a horrible life to live........

Aliens are real? Okay.. I do believe there is intelligent life out there.
As far as Earth..
Question one) After 4.5 billion years the Earth has existed why are they so shy to make it obvious?
Question 2) They have the ability to traverse space time yet they come to Earth and Crash land.... Really?
Question 3) Why Earth? Billion/Trillions/Quadrillions of planets out there.... Why Earth.

1) ill get back to you on that, a multitude of reasons im sure.
2) We are talking about Intelligent life forms, not Gods, who can make mistakes just like us. Only smarter. How many probes have we sent to space that weve lost contact with and have crashed? Again a multitude of reasons come to mind, sorry you can't come up with any on your own.
3). How many of those have life, let alone intelligent life (i use intelligent to refer to us, but come on look at society today how intelligent are we really..). It would make sense to bring on curious on lookers woul it not?
For example, when we do get to explore the stars less hindered than we are now, and we came across a plant with lesser intelligent beings, would it not make sense to observe it? maybe try to interact and or experiment with it? Heck if we can brake down communication barriers and they are not much threat to us being there help advance them in exchange for resources or even just start a trade system with them?
think of when pilgrims met the Indians, it wasn't all hunky dory but some factions welcomed the white man and his ways, they taught pilgrims how to live off the land (better than they had known), and pilgrims brought technology.
