Just commenting re:.."in the event of contact or full disclosure, it is a near certainty this society would quickly descend into chaos"...I think that would depend on the type of contact, i.e. verifiable details of previous events such as Roswell or, something new, like a craft landing on the White House lawn. If enough verifiable details slowly came to light regarding past events, you could wind up with a full disclosure in slow motion. And regarding societies descending into chaos I think that again, it would depend on how much, what type, and how fast would all the facts be released.

Would a race of intelligent meatbags fly a trillion billion miles just to fly about in our skies?
If they did why would they come so far and not say anything?
Is that not the question we should ask rather than what are they doing here?
America does not keep a secret that big nor does the rest of the world, do not even mention the atom bomb murica is not the whole world.

My opinion is that if the US Government or some secret government or corporation does have access to UFO technology, or is in communication with aliens, they just simply don't trust us with that level of technology. And frankly I don't either. Imagine drug lords, war lords, the mafia, the Taliban or even just common street thugs getting access to anti-gravity, advanced weaponry or worm hole technology. They would instantly use it for personal gain and destruction of property and life.

There's still too many greedy violent apes on this planet. We're not trust worthy enough for advanced technology.

To me that's the explanation why we've advanced so slowly in weaponry since Vietnam era planes and guns. The governments of the world (US and Russia at least) probably have it, but know we can't be trusted.

Technology is what changes all our lifes so im pretty sure if anything as amazing as antigravity is discovered we would all use it just like the net or nuclear power and im pretty sure aliens or the goverment didnt hide them from us xD

I agree. I couldn't imagine what the world would turn into if we got our hands on such technology.
I said something similar in another post earlier on, I think they are just waiting on the day we are more
civilized? Before they come out & be like... "hii.."


If I was an ET I definitely wouldn't want to show myself to this Earth yet either

I think if the aliens themselves dont want us to know about them then we might never know. Its like the movie Dark City, each time something is done, they can stop time and rewind the story to change the timeline.
think about it.

Who says they just fly about in our skies? If they are here then most likely they created us, for what purpose who knows, but I'm with you that they didn't come here just to fly around for no reason. And I don't believe they have a "prime directive" of non-interference either, because if they are here, then they have greatly interfered and influenced our culture. I'm 50/50 on whether ETs are here or not, but I've yet to hear an argument for why they couldn't be here, while there is tons of evidence (though no proof) that they are here.

Every time I see the title for this thread, this comes to mind. And its the reason why, aside from their misguided belief systems as to their entitlement to enslave the world.

In our current society, it's better for us not to know such a big thing. Yes I do believe the world would change & most of us would be in panic for so many different reasons. The government is certainly not in favor to tell us such thing because it means they are still in control.

There's various sightings of UFO's, not entirely solid proof saying that heyy they definitely are here kind of thing.
& there's heaps of hoaxes/fakes out there as well so it's hard to believe anything that we may read/watch on the internet sometimes. But at the same time no one has proof that they don't exist or/and they aren't here.

I agree there is heaps of hoaxes but there is heaps of evidence of their existence. Piles and piles of information supporting extraterrestrial intelligence. You just gotta dive in head first and research the ish out of it. And then you will be a believer. Our universe is a magnificent place. Someday maybe and hopefully we will be part of a galactic society. Maybe...

I dissagree with America can't keep a secret, look at the past, Roswell, story has been changed so many times and if it was a baloon why keep it a secret now. Same with Kenedy why keep most of the information secret if Oswald was the killer. Also nobody would have known about stealth aircraft (F117) if it was not for a Senator bringing it up in congress, and that was 10 years or so after it was flying.

I most definitely believe in ET's. I've had a personal experience myself that I will probably start a new thread about when I'm able to & see what people think it could of been that I saw.
I think it would be awesome to be able to socialize & work with them in future & gaining more knowledge from them.
One day

No they can't cover up those stories very well, especially the Roswell. They will continue to try & cover up everything like that to stay in control. Yes their cover up sounds absolutely ridiculous but hey it doesn't mean everyone is going to believe it. They have their say, & we have ours on whether we're going to fall for it or not.

It would be cool wouldn't it? I can only imagine all the things we could learn from a different intelligent race.. I woul have so many questions about the universe. Maybe even other universes. You never know what we will learn. Exciting to think about.

Maybe there is no cover-up. Many people just don't believe and actively deny UFOs because they think it's a wacky topic when it's not. The same thing happened with my studies in alternative electricity.

Tell me about it! How we would communicate is an exciting thought too... so many questions to ask them about so many different things.. i don't think there's enough hours in a day to ask them all & discuss.
My imagination goes crazy when thinking about this stuff.

Rightly so.. You should start your thread on your experiences. Many of us aren't even fortunate enough to see anything out of this world. Of course I'm speaking as if its a good experience because I do not believe extraterrestrials would be hostile. I'm curious to learn about your experience. I will be a contributor if you decide to share.

I have started a thread just yesterday & I see you commented already
thank you. Anyone's thoughts on my thread are welcome, & I do have a couple of experiences that i'd like to share.

I believe that there's a mix of aliens out there, some could be hostile & some aren't. But I don't think the ones that have visited us are hostile at all.

I believe we are kept in the dark not only because of control from government, but because of the Aliens. The beings are here for a reason. There is obviously something we have that they want, otherwise I don't think they would bother for 50 years flying strange maneuvers in the sky.

There's an ultimate objective or plan, they just don't make it available to us. It's easy to think "Why don't they land and show themselves?" but if you really give it some though that may not be part of their plan at all, and if that happened it may even fail. Perhaps they've already made some sort of agreement with the bureaucrats who are holding all of the information so greedily and deceptive. If this is the case then what does that say about the Aliens themselves?

Whatever it is, they seem comfortable with things right where they want them. This is my personal opinion but I think it's our DNA they seem the most interested in, and how we are able to reproduce. If the beings are so friendly and open armed I would think the government and military is who they would trust LAST. But because they work so closely together knowing what humans are like really makes me question their true motives. I don't think they care at all about the general population and will do whatever it takes to complete their task, even if it means we never get to know. The way they go about their abductions and consistent government cooperation leads me to believe they see us as expendable at best.
