The way we interpret the symbols of ancient civilizations are flawed, vastly flawed. It's a big injustice to our society and our ancestors when we start to ascribe their hard work to alien intervention. We have to be aware of that we are interpreting their work and all of their symbols with our current technology, actually we are interpreting it according to our current paradigm of science. That's why it's wrong, because we are a very young civilization and we simply don't know very much.

We are so very well connected to everyone else that any one offical real contact would spread almost instantly around the globe and would ensue mass panic.
Aliens have visited us before, many other civalizations for thousands of years and we are pretty sure of that.
The one thing the civilizations couldnt do is spread the word for two things, the actual accuracy and speed of the communication and more importantly the ability to actually describe what they are seeing.
Our tech level has jumped up way too fast and with such compounding complexity.
Im afraid ET is scared of us going postal because we CAN understand it and because we would all so rapidly paniced.
This is exactly why they are taking their time on this one.

Why did every other civilization that seemed to be connected to external influence die out with such loverly gifts of building technology?

Why have they left this one? Is it the fact we are all in near instant communication? Is it because we didnt need their help this 'run'?

I see what you're geting at with the instant communication like somesort of alarm where everyone knows what's going on immediately, as a race we've grown smarter and have learned so much....

I think if humans were to panic It would be because we truly don't know what the ET's intentions are for coming to Earth. Their are alot of possible and totally logic reasons why they would, but those arent 100% known by human believers yet, They are just Ideas of what might happen if they did come.
I do believe aliens 100%.
I bet humans would in fact panic, Unless like mentioned in prior posts there was some intelligent communication reassuring humans that the contact isn't a threat to us. Still, I think people would have their dukes up In case they lying to us and they really came to eat our brains.

That book is litterally next on my list.
I realise a tv show will perhaps make bigger deals out of certain details for more viewers, but i dont belive they actually lied or twisted the truth beyond. I tend to obverse the video footage or pictures and take those as fact, and any explanation for it, as "possibilitys".
At least somones trying to come up with answers to the thousand year old questions, "how did they do that".

I don't think people go into a panic about things they can understand. I think they go into a panic about things they DON'T understand. So it seems to me, the longer we leave the truth to the imaginations of the public, the more danger we put ourselves in. We've already seen what kind of crazy theories people come up with when the facts have been withheld from them. As long as we have weird things going on in our skies without any official explanation, we're going to see more and more craziness and unrest in our society.

I'm not sure they're afraid of anything we may do. If they fear mass panic, abducting people and performing experiments on them is not the way to ingratiate yourself to the native population.
For whatever reason, it's probably not beneficial enough for them yet.
