Combine that with the probability that two planets within easy travel of each other both have a space faring civilization existant at the same time and the odds get even lower. Every time you factor in another potential element the odds get less and less. I'm not saying there are no unkown craft flying in the skies of our planet, I'm just saying that they are probably not from another world.

Disclosure imminenent? Please, how often have we heard this? Talk about slow torture. People, both respectable and other wise have said for 50 plus years. It falls in to the same catagory as a religous revelation. You the gullible public can make any sense you wish with this information that you wish. But let me give you a little insight. In the 1840's, there was a preacher (religion unknown, but Christian) by the name of Miller.
He had quite a following and his flock became known as the Millerites. He predicted a date in 1848 when the Earth would end. People did not plant crops, they sold their land and possesions, and stood mouth agape waititing for the end times. And guess what? Nothing happend. But those who bought this bs, starved or suffered in other ways. My point? Don't give up in a a manner so basic. Screw the religious componant. No God does not have any thing to do with this. A true God awakens us to that potential that is some what awkward. When we open the door, we should see peace. As All ways please forgive spelling.

All those new stories you posted are based on 3 core stories - they've just been rehashed and printed in different papers.
There's ways and means to disclose (if of course there is anything to disclose?)
Evicence of microbial life would be released first. Get the people accustomed to the idea that life does exists on other planets but not scare the pants off them by parading a 10 foot lizard on primetime BBC.
And now that we have the Hubble upgrade, WISE and Keppler up there - there clearly will be a lot more in the news now than ever before because we are discovering more and more of our Universe.
Carry on living our lives without hoping for an alien visitation to save us from boredom 1 Disclosure 0

Has anyone noticed these stories mainly come from the UK and always have, they have been pretty open these past few years, why is it always the foreign media and not the N.Y. Times, L.A. Times or any other mainstream publication in the U.S., nothing new here. There will be no disclosure unless forced.
