Aliens

So what do you think about aliens? Do they exist? Is it all a bunch of hooey? When my sister Charlotte adamantly argues that there are aliens among us I laugh her to scorn or kid her about her beliefs. But I do that mostly to get a rise out of her (I am so bad).

I’m on the fence on this question. I feel that when I am listening to Art Bell and the folks out in the desert (Coast to Coast) that they are trying to get attention. Most of them sound kind of nutty to me. But I mentioned a while back that I met someone who used to be a US Marine and he said that not only he, but everyone on the base in Alaska, saw UFOs (more than one) and the sightings were never mentioned in any report nor were they talked about. He could have told me a lot more but my friends weren’t interested so I missed out on a lot. He mentioned Project Blue book so I am investigating that online. Here’s what I discovered. Wikipedia has a huge article on Project Blue Book and essentially it appears from this that the U.S. Air Force has covered up or otherwise tried to debunk any possibly valid sightings of UFOs.

Reading the article causes me to refer back to what my friend in Ecuador said about what was seen at the air base in Alaska.

I read “Chariots of the Gods” when it came out in the late sixties and thought it was very interesting. Since then I have generally had an open mind about the possibility of intelligent life forms in outer space. But quite seriously, I find it hard to believe that aliens could be amongst us for decades without it coming out into the open. I know the theorists out there will say that the cover-ups are because of the “control” issue. The government doesn’t want to lose control of the situation nor of its people by letting us know that there are other beings on this planet. But I find that ridiculous.

I probably shouldn’t. When I think about the way we are governed in the Twenty First Century I realize that we are governed by unintelligent despots most of the time whose bottom line is money. They probably want to use aliens for profit. Doesn’t that make you sick?
