If I were an alien race, why would I be hanging out around Earth?
First we need to accept some givens, such as they’ve been here for thousands of years according to a lot of archaeological evidence, there is more than one alien race, and they’ve fought some battles between them while here. On this, there’s clear evidence in Egypt and written accounts in India.
Whatever their differences and reasons for them, they were apparently settled thousands of years ago, at least on this planet.
Today, there’s a wide variety of craft seen that vary in size from small 30 foot or so discs to massive craft miles in diameter, mostly circular or triangular in shape. Multiple witness sightings of alien beings describe some as over 8 feet tall with very long limbs, others varying in height from 5 feet to about 3 feet, many with very large black eyes, clothing often described as black and skin tight, like a scuba wet suit.
While there’s no accurate count available, thousands of people all over the world have claimed to have been “abducted” by aliens and subjected to a variety of bizarre, intrusive medical tests and many of these people have supporting proof and evidence, enough that professional psychologists and psychiatrists are now taking this very seriously.
Most governments are in denial of the existence of alien peoples, hide evidence and make up false stories to hide the truth, and this has become so blatantly obvious that few even listen to them anymore. The majority of humanity now accepts that we are not alone.
Those are the givens. The question is, what are they doing here? I think it’s a fair assumption that they are basically like humans, since all life survives and evolves by consuming other life. All life is predatory by nature, so the fact that we don’t look like them is a clue.
Intelligence and curiosity go together, which is why tourism is such a big industry with us, so it probably is with them, too. We travel to foreign nations to see their sights and how they live, and space-faring races would do the same. As a technologically emerging race, we may be very interesting to watch.
Then there’s natural resources. An ancient race would have used up most of theirs on their planet millennia ago, while Earth still has lots of good stuff in the ground. Our planet was formed from the gas of a supernova, which is why we have a lot of one of the rarest elements in the Universe, which is Gold, and why, as I’ve said before, it’s been called the Metal of the Gods by ancient races all over the planet. That name should tell you something.
So, okay, tourism and resource extraction. Why the exams on the abductees? What would we be looking for if we were here for thousands of years? We’d be looking for specific changes in humans over time, changes that we may be responsible for. DNA changes, for instance. What if someone had a cancer or other condition that mimicked an alien problem and they were treating us for it the same we treat lab animals, to see if it would work for them? What if they’re simply trying to push us in some preferred evolutionary direction? Any and all of this is possible.
If I was going to be on this alien planet for the very long term, I’d want to have members of my race able to mix with the residents who looked and sounded like them, in positions of authority, so they could help me carry out whatever my purposes were, so crossbreeding through DNA manipulation might have happened. This could have been a point of contention with a few of these different races at one time and which might have resulted in the aerial battles described in ancient Sanskrit in India. People always fight over who’s in charge.
The many observations of alien craft entering the ocean indicate that there’s at least one large underwater base. While it’s been suggested that this a great place to hide, why would they want to hide? They could just hang out in space and look like an asteroid. But our ocean happens to be full of gold. We just haven’t developed an economical way to extract it from the water. I bet they have, so they leave our gold mines alone now and get all they need from our water. Maybe?
Meanwhile, our rise in technology has made us a lot more dangerous and they may not want to see the Earth in a global nuclear war. They have investments here. Which would justify having aliens who look like humans in charge where it matters most. Plus our expanding numbers are causing another global mass extinction that will end up killing off most of us along with most other life, as well if we don’t reverse population growth and start letting the Earth heal itself and let a lot of land return to Nature. We MUST reverse the pressure we’re putting on the planet to support our numbers.
There’s a truly massive presence of alien craft in our skies and possibly in our oceans, and it’s increasing according to those who keep track of all this. At the same time, our world is undergoing a political transformation from a bunch of competing nations to a global government, with all the hazards and grave dangers that implies. Is it a coincidence?
