But seriously, I think people's concepts of ETs has pretty much taken over the role of angels among those who think themselves scientifically minded. I'd suggest not spending too much time trying to talk to aliens. Instead, talk to people here on Earth, and try to make a difference for your own people, on your own world.

I personally have never met one, but my sister has... her
name is Elaine
The Gray she met said that world was going down the proverbial.
This was our conversation.
(Elaine) "According to my source, the end of the world will be on
February 14th, in the year two thousand and sixteen.
(Me) "Valentine's day. Bummer. Where'd you get your date, Elaine?"
Elaine smiles to herself, peers out the trailer window and then to
her cheap shoes and says "I recieved this information
from an alien"
"I was sitting at the bar, alone and this alien approached
me. He started talking to me, he bought me a drink. And then he
must have used some kind of a ray or a mind control device
because he forced me to follow him to his room and that's where
he told me about the end of the world"
(Me) So your alien had a room at the Holiday Inn, Paramis?
Again, glancing at her shoes, she says " It could have been a room
on the spaceship made to look like the hotel. I can't be sure about
that, Bruce"
It make you think nuh?

I'm surprised by the doubts, my sister assured me that
the guy/Gray seemed legit. After the evening, he even sprung
for a cab to get her back the Trailer Park.
The shoes thing... is it like Columbo's shoe fetish?

I believe in life elsewhere, but I always wondered why the aliens would want to talk to someone who really has no real influence in shaping world beliefs, politics, science etc.
I was kinda thinking that if they are really that far ahead of us technology wise, and their message is so huge that all of humanity needs to hear it, Why dont they just put up a huge billboard in the sky where everyone could see it (we do it on a small scale with the Goodyear blimp), or take over our television sets and radio, internet, then deliver their message.
People talk about Project Blue Beam. Well, if the government can do it, then the aliens must be able to do it with a message in it.
Why would they choose someone that would only be ridiculed when they try to spread the message? Or someone who has no real influence on the populace?
If they are supposed to be more intelligent than us, that would`nt seem to be very smart on the alien`s part.
Just food for thought.
