The Logic of a UFO Sighting

Two things I never understood about UFOs (i.e., aliens in spacecraft) and UFO enthusiasts. First, if these AIS (aliens in spacecraft) are clever enough to travel from other worlds that are either a great distance away or in other dimensions, why aren't they clever enough to just make themselves known? Why not just formally introduce themselves, you know, ask someone to take them to our leader? What is it they want, anyway? Jobs? Lovers? Parking validation? Or is stealth the name of their game? If so, then according to the OP they're awfully bad at it. Why would they come all this way to mutilate a few cattle, or buzz a military installation chock full of air force pilots, governors, presidents, policemen, scientists, military and civilians, and then scurry away like frightened racoons? What do they hope to gain visiting our planet?

Second, what is it that AIS enthusiasts hope to gain from these visitors? So the aliens have arrived - now what? Do they think they'll be invited to 'climb aboard their star-ships, and head for the skies' (?) to some utopian alien world where there's actually a place for visitors from a vastly more primitive society? What are they going to do there? Teach their hosts to clip stories from newspapers and develop conspiracy theories? But what are they going to do there? Master alien technology and return to Earth in a hundred years and be super villains (see: "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra-Man")? UFO/AIS enthusiasts seem to think it's a good thing aliens are here - some one who will finally appreciate their uniquely geekish qualities, someone naively willing to share their superior technology with humanity so that together we can cure cancer, end world hunger or get Republicans back in the White House...

They have made themselves known , we just keep denying this , sometimes the truth is hard to accept

Look at the way many , many , many people respond to UFO's , and the evidence , it can blow peoples minds , they can't fathom the reality , its a tough reality for some to grasp

Intelligent life forms are curious , as are we

Typical.

No answer - as usual.

Replace the concept of aliens with a god and you got religion, dude.

I don't replace aliens with god , dude

The simple fact is that there are air craft that have done things since the fifties , forties for that matter , that our mainstream air craft can not do , end of story
 
I'm sure another poster here likened the UFO phenomenon with religion. I said, interesting view but it is definitely is a wrong wedding. After all, there is no physical or trace remains of God, nor is there any overwhelming support and mountains of evidence supporting the existence of UFO's.

UFOlogy, couldn't be further from being a religion. It's on the brink of requiring a revolutionary scientific study.

Not rubbish, my dear OP. It's very clear that those who yearn for alien contact are searching for something, some union with a higher power. I am fairly certain there are other intelligent beings in the universe, but could we even be friends with them, if we knew them? Dolphins may be as intelligent as we are, but in such a radically different way they seem mere animals to us. (If they're so smart, why aren't they rich? one might ask.) And dolphins are fellow mammals from this same planet. How wildly different alien life is likely to be! Would you let your daughter marry one? If one desires companionship of some ne other than our fellow humans, I for one, choose The Lord.

There are clear differences.

I am not getting into them again. There are tonnes of evidence supporting UFO's, not a shred of scientific evidence for God. Go figure.

Also keep in mind, the UFO phenomenon is not largely based on faith either. There is overwhelming evidence of a cover up and overwhelming evidence saucers exist. So little faith is required.

Especially for someone like me, who has actually seen three orb UFO's but has never seen the face of God.

Oh, no one sees the face of God directly, lest we die. Look at any person's face, to the least of your brothers, and you will see all the God you require.
 
I suppose you are right about that. You would say, 'the truth is out there', while I would say, 'the truth shall set you free!'
