Sleeper,
I guess it would be safe to assume that all aliens who visit are more advanced than us, but not all aliens are equal to each other in terms of technological development.
Therefore, would it be safe to assume that the Roswell greys were shot down by a more advanced race, so that we could recover the craft?
They all probably saw us split the atom, and said hey look what they can do. Then the Greys might have come in for a closer look and fell victim to a sneaky idea from someone higher up on the food chain.
As for the notion of continued life after death, I buy it. My mother is a very religious person and she's very much into the idea of halos and the Pearly Gates. The standard idea for most people I guess. But a month after my grandfather died of emphysema, he came back for a short visit to her bedroom one night to say goodbye I guess, according to her. He said don't worry about me, I'm fine...but the message for her before he was gone was "It's not what you think." Which I think means forget the halos and Pearly Gates because its not anything like what most church people would like to believe or imagine. I told her he's just further down the road and we'll catch up with him later. Now, what he's doing, I have no idea, he didn't tell her. I guess he's not allowed or its too complicated.

Sorry that you had to stoop this low, perhaps you’ll get lucky and your friends won’t see you on here-----so the least I can do is give you an answer.
I know you’ll love it
Drake is wrong-----way off the mark of reality-----and proof that a higher education may provide a better income-----but not necessarily wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge.
According to his equations we humans are very special and quite unique--------not---in this universe

Really, We won't know until we find it and get proof. Making up your own reality isn't healthy, let's stay with ours.

Which reality, the one that kept people believing for thousands of years that the earth was the center of the universe----like many still believe today.
The one where for thousands of years everyone believed earth was flat?
I know those analogies have been over used and apply to everything including grandma’s secret cookie recipe, but they are hard to beat.
You live in the world that makes sences to you----what else do you have to go on?
Some people have more to go on----or different experiences-----and therefore their reality is changed.
You can’t project your reality to anyone else-----some people live sterile existences and wear the blinders prescribed by the particular society they happen to live in.
There are six billion people on this planet----ETs have removed the blinders from a few million of those people.
You may say that I am brainwashed or delusional-----however, I’m not the one who believes trillions of solar systems are devoid of life-----I know better.

They didn't just say, My life has no wonder in it, I KNOW! I'll suddenly think there are all these alien races everywhere.
Listen, I belive anything is possible, the universe is only what is known. Unknown is infinite, that's where wonder comes from. I don't take that unknown and suddenly transform it into the known from my own ideas. That would not only take out the wonder in life, it would close my mind and also make absolutley no sense.
When an alien race come sover here, explains where they are from, etc.. or we get proof of them coming here or being out there, I won't assume they are here or even out there. I can understand the possibility, but as far as we can go on, I can only say there is a BIG chance of alien races out there. I stay mentaly healthy, understand the possibility of anything, but do not go on something from my own ideas as our combined reality. And tell people things I have no idea about.

I know that you think I am making all this up because my mom neglected me while I was growing up and I compensated by creating these imaginary friends. Well my life was not that bad, and my mother didn’t neglect me. My life has always been fairly good, and sometimes great----so far I have been fairly lucky, if one wishes to use that word.
I saw earth from space more than once-----not a dream, not an illusion. When I was very young some fifty years ago before the USSR and the US put people into orbit, before any television shows like Star Track, and many alien movies, and books-----I was running around a space ship with other children----I often looked out the ship and saw huge globes hanging in the darkness of space.
I lived in a small village with no modern conveniences, televisions and radios and books of fiction didn’t exist for us-----there is no way my mind could have created what I experience without having some reference-----like tv, books and stories. My parents didn’t and don’t believe in ET, so they didn’t tell me stories. And how would they have described a fantastical ship when the bicycle was our main form of transportation.
To bad you can’t push the envelop a bit and stretch your mind around stuff like that-----I guess you’ll have to wait until it happens to you before you can believe-----nothing wrong with that.

The ET's job is not to make everyone believe in them? I mean free will is taught in almost all religions and ways of thinking in general, so free will lets one determine if you will believe this or not. I don't think they need all of us on this planet to believe in them...the message is out there for us to come to our own conclusions. They know that, and I think that is just fine with them. Just like not everyone believes in the same God or that there even is a God, the same is true with ETs.
Just my humble opinion though...

Howdy Sleeper, question, to see the aliens one must go to a dark place or out in the country, be alone in the early AM? Did I get that right?
Why will this event scare me? Are they hideous?
