Wouldnt it be more logical for the ET to show this event rather to someone at Nasa for example.. whats the point if one cant do anything about it..

I wonder why is that every time someone shows up and shares an unusual experience with us, some people come out of the wood work and start demanding "proof" such as pictures, items, etc.?
Actually it has become a standard practice on these forums to belittle personal experiences in favour of lack of "solid" evidence, for those who only believe things they can see or touch (the materialists from the Western World).
Let's say you were dead and came back from the dead after being cold for 24 hours. You shared your story about the existence behind the barrier to an open minded forum (or at least I'd like to think this one is) but nobody believes you because you did not bring anything physical back with you. Duh, sorry I forgot to take pictures with my handy holo-camera and physical sample collector, or whatever, while I was dead!
How about this one, surely everyone had seen the movie Contact, where at the end the protagonist shares her story that had profoundly moved her and changed her stance on life here (and elsewhere), and being a hypocritical society that we are, her testimony is discarded because she had no physical proof beyond her own experience.
I say hypocritical because we are reminded in the middle of the movie that 95% of the population believe in one kind of a God or the other, and they would not want the representative of the humankind to be someone who did not share the same views.
Yet at the end she is questioned by the skeptics (the remaining 5%) because apparently they are the ones who are dominating the World affairs, or the other 95% are too dumb to put two and two together and realize that skeptics don't have a clue either and the techno-babble they use is just a smoke screen to cover their ignorance and lack of factual knowledge.
Back to the OP, I'll play the Alien Advocate in this case. I believe that ET intelligence couldn't give a rats a$$ about ATS or its members and feel obligated to provide any kind of a proof beyond a mental experience simply because that's how THEY do things and it's our choice to take it or leave it.
They still have the right to say: "We told you so but you did not want to listen, and it's your fault not ours you Earthlings don't believe or trust each other."

Amazing, it's like a bunch of locusts preying on anyone with skepticism. How do you go into believing a completely random person with a TYPICAL story. These stories never change, it's always the same premise except with a different guide.
You name it:
angels, demons, aliens, leprechauns, dragons, talking watermelons, jesus, god, satan, santa, etc.
They all fall under the same category:
Nonsense.
There's no point in even arguing with folks that are "true" believers of any kind! It's like if I were to claim there's a magical dragon in my garage that you can't see because he's invisible to everyone else but me. Not only that, but, this dragon grants me magical properties that allows me to do/witness supernatural events.
Sure, you can say "throw paint on the ground! if he moves, we'll see it!" and I'll say, "he never stops to land, he's a dragon!". You can go on and on and on and folks will make up more and more and more.
Reality revolves around proof. With all these extraordinary speculations and claims there's no wonder science steers clear and labels this whole phenomena supernatural.
There's no room for truth with all this falsity.
life is FULL of mysteries and we don't even know ANYTHING about "REALITY". So be supportive or don't say anything at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion!

Interesting ... if indeed you had this experience that is very strange. I don't think I've ever read/seen eyewitness accounts of ETs pointing out something as technical/specific as they have done to you.
Is this the first time you've been "enlightened" by ETs about our involvement in space?

if everyone is entitled to their opinions, do those opinions only have to be "supportive", or can they be non-supportive.
if i cant agree, dont shed my opinion.. yet everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
we need a new sub-forum in the alien&ufo section, entitled "**********'s"

So what your saying is not to question or seek the truth, when some one predicts a future event were suppose to go along with it or ignore it, which then makes us ignorant or sheep, remember the saying ? " if you don't ask you wont learn ".

Did the ET have a Big head and really Tall?
Do you have a choice in Contacting them at all, or do they come too you?
Was Contact in your room?
Of course i think we all wanna try a little contact.
