If they have that type of advanced technology, why on <insert planet name> would they want to come here? I'd be more inclined to believe that we have a set of beacons surrounding the Earth, warning everyone to keep away! Cheers Tony

I sincerely hope they're direct about it because otherwise the alternatives are to reenact Rendezvous with Rama (where something leaves a massive artefact in our system without ready explication) or The Whisperer in Darkness (a trip to Yuggoth as a brain in a jar). It's my same hope for artificial intelligence. Once computers inevitably attain sentience, I hope that they live and thrive in the Asimovian sense where they sincerely wish only to help us. We could be doomed if either possibility proves hostile. Particularly if they picked up that radio transmission beamed out into space of Hitler and Nazi Germany...

While I'd like to imagine the scene from Star Trek: First Contact when the Vulcans arrive, all I can see is them (the Vulcans/aliens) being mowed down with machine gun fire, taken away and ripped apart to see how they "work". Unfortunately it'll be more like the X-Files - xenophobic people in power, out for themselves! What, feeling a little cynical today Tony? Yep Cheers Tony

Yep Cheers Tony Ah, Tony has clearly been spending his day in the mirror universe. "We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill..."

Why didn't they beam out Winston Churchill? Hold up, no, my mistake. It was two years before the German national socialist party would come to power. It was Adolf Hitler's welcoming address at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin and the first to be televised. Carl Sagan speculated in Contact that it may be one of the first televisual signals to reach an alien life form outside of our solar system. You could also go with what Arthur C. Clarke believed, that alien life has been sporadically interacting with the human race ever since it crawled out of its evolutionary crèche.

I honestly believe that the rise of data lite TV and netflicks is a conscious attempt to 'not' send uhf signals into space.
More mind control media for us... less WE ARE HERE shouting into the cosmos.

So what planet does he come from?
OMG I said it, no it's not racist, it's called a joke, cause of the title, I would have made the same one about Trump, Putin, or even Hillary, ok, especially Hillary, oh look, I did it again...Look at the title of the thread...and I dare you not to laugh.

I'm disappointed this never happened, although I am 99.99% convinced that Area 51 must be hiding alien life. If they are I wish they'd just be open about it - it may create mass hysteria, dogs and cats living together etc but we're all bound to find out the truth eventually. All they're doing by possibly keeping it secret is delaying the eventual reveal.

I can't help myself, the truth is out there. My pet theory is that people spend so much time focussing on the Americans that the reality is going to be that it was instead someone like the Russians or Chinese who encountered alien life and have been keeping schtum about it. There's something about their respective histories and cultures that just seems to make it ring true for me. Assuming that it has anything to do with nations at all, there's nothing to say that there isn't a special executive committee which operates on an international basis. The X-Files were a real thing in the FBI, I don't see why an organisation like Torchwood wouldn't exist for realsies.

I don't know about China, but Russia has consistently since the days of the USSR been open about it's UFO investigations, and have said they are "real" for years, but despite this, nothing has gone beyond sightings and odd incidents.

True, but then there are disadvantages to letting everyone know you've made contact. Knowledge is power. I'm not saying it's definite, but keeping it a state secret would decrease the likelihood of foreign and domestic espionage and sabotage.

Because it all adds up. The alien invasion films, the secrecy, the myths about Men In Black, what Ronald Reagan said to Steven Spielberg at a White House screening of one of his movies...

I think they want us to believe their top-secret test aircraft are really from Elsewhere. We've had at least one scientist go on the lecture circuit before, he seemed fairly explicit about what they'd been working on and it did seem like a plausible direction for them to be looking in. Likewise I saw a couple of UFOs once and I think I may actually have their likely patent number around here somewhere.
Besides, if I had it their way and believed our governments have secret alien cohorts, I'd probably expect more from our elected officials than we actually can. You mean this mess is the best that TWO intelligent species can come up with? Yikes! :-)

My theory is simple, and I don't know why anyone hasn't mentioned it before.
What if we are the most advanced planet in all the universe? You notice that radio signal about what, 3 million light years away, what if they just developed radio, that puts them bout 75 years or more behind us.
Sorry folks, the space race is on, and it's not got to do with beating any other country into space, it's who will be the dominant species when all is said and done. And besides, we need to be leaving this world soon anyway, cause there aint any fixing this planet, no matter how much you think it can be done.
I drive a truck for a living and probably take better care of the environment than most environmentalists, I know how to hypermile, I coast downhill, cause I actually pay attention to the road instead of my phone, wow I'm off topic...
yes Obama is an alien, and I don't mean from another country.
