Yes.
Maybe they've known about us long before we decided to send signals out into space.
The problem with that is, they wouldn't have a reason to come to earth in the first place, why not come here a hundred million years ago or a billion? Why a few thousand years ago just coincidently in time to see homo sapiens rise up?
Maybe they were here a hundred million years ago, no way to tell for sure
Haven't you ever researched ancient alien theories? They were coming here long before the 1950s, your argument is weak.
Not at all, there's no logical motive aliens would visit us unless we contacted them first.

The government knows nothing. I know you may think the government may by hiding something but it's extremely clear that they don't because as i pointed out, even though it was a false alarm, SETI thought they had found an extra terrestrial signal and strait away the media found out about it because a member of SETI happened to phone The New York times and there was no men in black, no government take over - nothing.

The thing is, any intelligent aliens that may actually exist in real life wouldn't be as frail and organic as we are, unlike the movies might lead you to believe otherwise. It's simply more logical to assume that aliens will be machines because if you look at the time scale of how fast we have advanced in computing in the last few decades in comparison to evolution that takes billions of years to progress.
It makes much more sense to assume that any aliens that are only thousands of years a head of us would already be making their bodies into robots - it's a time scale argument. All these stories of Greys and Reptilians is quite illogical because they wouldn't have squishy bodies like ours, they would have moved on.

What about the Arecibo Broadcast and the Chilbolton Crop circle? claudescommentary.com...
We have been contacted, there is something to disclose.

Actually your wrong about how long we have been sending signals into space it's not 50 years it's 90 years. The first radio transmission took place in the 20's. Radio waves travel at the speed of light so we have signals around 90 light years out. There are around 4000 stars within 90 light years from us. If we had the technology to travel space don't you think we would hop over to the nearby planet to see what kind of people that popped up in the neighborhood?edit on 16-4-2011 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)

The problem with that is, those first signals wen't very powerful, it's only been the last 60 years from high frequency high powerful signals that we've been sending out. And so thats 2000 stars not 4000, but even of it was 10,000 - the point is aliens can't be more then half the distance from where ever they've reached our signals, in order to receive the signals 30 years ago and then spend the next 30 years getting here. Plus the fact that with only 2000 stars in that distance, it's safe to say that no aliens no that we exist at the moment anyway.

The reason they haven't made contact with the general population is because there would be a worldwide panic, people would go freeking crazy , mass suicide would be off the charts, bombs would go flying everywhere .Mankind isn't ready for first contact, we are a barbaric species.
