Hi Mike,
Do you believe there really is other species out there that are and have been observing us from afar? My answer chills me to the bone only because I've had experiences that aren't explainable at this time.
The Universe is so huge in fact that we’ll have to play around with scales so one can get a better idea.
Let's imagine that the entire universe that we have seen in all the worlds telescopes, all the galaxies, all trillion of them, extending out 13 billion light years in every direction is shrunk down to the size of a golf ball.
If we do a volume calculation, the actual universe contains 10 to the power 60 of those golf balls! Wow, I guess we didn't shrink things down far enough, but this will have to do. So how big a volume would 10 to the power 60 golf balls fill up? Try a sphere 850 light years across! So imagine a mass of golf balls that big, and each one of those golf balls contains all the stars and galaxies that we can see through our telescopes!!
For arguments sake, lets imagine that primitive life happens once in the lifetime of a trillion galaxies, and out of those only one in a trillion ever evolves out of its womb planet into a space-faring civilization. In this example then we are still left with an astounding 10 to the par 75 advanced societies - more alien cultures than the number of atoms composing planet Earth!
Again, for some perspective on such a gargantuan number, there are more advanced civilizations partying it up around the galaxies than there are atoms in every single grain of sand on all the beaches and deserts in the world, and then some.

Which lights are you talking about?

Oh, I see Zorg logged out instead of answering my question.
That makes sense.
In the 2 processed images below, extracted from the same frame, there is evidence of a dome like structure of high albedo. The image was taken by P. Lazzarotti at 0:21:40 TMEC ofl 4-dec-01 with a maksutov 178mm f/15 .

Lens flare, nothing more.
That's all.

And rightly so....damn near everything that has been feed into the North American heads for the last 60 years have been lies and deliberate misinterpretations of the truth, so how the hell are we supposed to believe anything these days.
But I'll set the record strait once and for all
1. We are not the first civilization of man to develop a high degree of technological sophistication, in fact in many respects our predecessors were more advanced then we currently are.
2. There are many artificial structures on Luna and Mars, some are ours some are alien in origin. Many of these structures are ancient and are little more the ruins.
3. There was and still is higher forms of life on Mars, although due to a number of both ancient and recent catastrophes that devastated the planet, only fraction still survive.
4. Wheres there a chance for life to exist, life does exist. The universe abounds with it.
5. Despite our believe that this planet is ours, their are many groups of sentient beings that call this planet home. Many have been here much longer then we have, and many claim ownership over it.
6. Humans have the misguided belief that they are the pinnacle of evolution, the reality is we are nothing more then a spec of dust on a grain of sand and great beach of creation.
7. The Earth, our 'mother' is alive, and she is very angry with us. We have once again broken our sacred trust with her. We have forgotten who we are and why we have been put here, and now we only care for greed. Short term profit with out any thought to the long term consequences of our actions. It may already be to late to change our ways, mother is already getting set to throw us off her back. She has done this is several times in the past, and by the way things are going it will happen again.....and soon.
