C'mon. If some other type of creatures is running around in space before we are, they're at least much further advanced than humanity. I do not think that aliens are smarter on some other level though.
Why does everyone assume that aliens ,that they do not know, are more advanced then "us humans"? That is a foolish thing to do. That just goes to show how little self esteem some people truly have. It also shows how much common sense people are willing to discard just to make things interesting in their lives.

Humans always relate alien sightings to things of earthly origin. Its actually amusing how much they do this. In reality, there is no basis for this kind of comparison.
The "UFO's" that people claim to see could have many explanations. I would argue most are earthly of origin (at least).
Lets just say, though, for the sake of the argument that all UFO sightings are of extra terrestrial origin. How do we know that these aliens are not just luminescent creatures that float aimlessly through space, periodically running into each other to reproduce? The things we see are unidentified. Who says they are not living creatures themselves??? They could be literally dumb as a rock. They don't need arms and legs, to be aliens. The don't need to breathe. They don't need to eat. Those are rules established by people on earth. Who says alien life needs to abide by them? We don't have any idea about life in outerspace.
So, to state it again, you are foolish if you assume alien life HAS TO BE MORE INTELLIGENT than "us humans". Us terribly violent destructive dumb moronic humans as some of you insecure or bored people might say.
Sorry that I have to be so blunt.

The good ETs share knowledge and resources, are peaceful and do not provoke wars and would not seek to brainwash or distract the masses with TV, movies, violent video games etc. while the Earth is being plundered for its natural resources faster than they can be replaced.
An ages old Roman concept of "breads and Circus" is being played out to this day.
Whether you believe it or not, we are not alone in our quest for the truth and peace on Earth.

Anyway, check out this article from Exit Mundi about an alien invasion causing the end of the world. If memory serves, it has some interesting points about intelligent life actually existing elsewhere in the universe: www.xs4all.nl...

I use our history as an example. More advanced cultures that meet up or discover more primitive cultures doesn't mean the primitive people are stupider, but the advanced culture certainly is more advanced and it requires some acclimation period to get the primitive culture up to speed.
