We know power corrupts. People in government and religious power should be compensated modestly and maybe even for life but we should never allow them to grow rich.
I think that was a good answer and sad but true.
It is the only way the few can control the many to position us against each other.

If you could see evolution in time lapse photography I think we started with one cell...it met another cell and they got together. From there evolution is sort of a piling on of diversity and complexity juggling elements and always adding on to the original sets. This seems to be so because there is a creature in the animal kingdom who personifies every human disposition. A sly fox, a brave lion, a noble eagle, a preditorial shark, an angry shrew and because I've heard of rare individuals who have skills that mimic some animal ability such as speed, swimming, night sight, hearing etc.so I think it would suggest the trait was shared in a common gene. In this way we are showing a similarity to and share a birthright (or we share an author) with every living thing, even grass and trees. Man shares 10,0000 chromosomes with the earthworm.
We are the only known organic lifeforms for light years.

Hello there Dusty. You asked a very good question. So I will try to give you a good answer. If UFO's are proved to be the creations of intelligent alien beings, I belive it would help to engineer a fundamental shift in human thinking. look around you; nationalism is the only game in town. Religion is tool used by the few to control the many. As long as we keep fighting each other, then we cannot ask those questions of our leaders that need asking. Extraterrestial contact would help give power back to ordainary people, because it would illustrate that whatever our differneces, we are all human. But guess what? No government on earth wants that. I mean, where would THE WAR ON TERROR stand ? George Bush bases his whole administration upon dropping bombs on innocent people, and usually missing any real BAD GUYS every time.

Though love is the greatest nourisher in excess it can still smother a life out.
The key to everything in our earthly world is not love. It is balance.
Not to underestimate love mind you...Love is a gift.

And you may be surprised to learn it is not your life that is most important in this plain of existance. It is your death.
That is when the soul can fly again.
Death is the actual stepping through....The going with....
That's why the good die young.
They are spared a heavy, awkward, and limited earthly plane.

This life is an often miraculous, usually heartbreakingly painful way station. ...not even the most important stop in the process of perfecting our souls.
Some of us need to stay and get kicked around a bit to appreciate the abundance of treasures and pleasures we are blessed with as life forms here on this blue and green beauty of a planet. We need to learn gratitude for life itself.
We need to say thank you instead of requesting more or different gifts...
Those not asking for more are busy trying to prove it is all just a happy coincidence.
The ultimate slap in the face to a creator.

If you do not love this life...you will go on and on here.
When you come to love it passionately... that is when you go.
Those who know gratitude and appreciation for life are the lucky ones. They move on.

Life is spectacular enough but... It is death we are here for.

Here is a good question: If UFO's were proved real...
How would this change the way you live and what you think now?

If you want to see how the vast expanse of the universe works and moves all you have to do is look in a sunbeam. The particles move travelling individually yet together. The structure of an atom with it's nucleus, protons and electrons is like a mini solar system. This is where we get the expression "There is nothing new under the sun." To know anything..all you have to do is take what you already know and expand on it. If there is life here there is life elsewhere.

Skeats, no worries. You don't have to apologize since I don't think too many people your letters.

And skeets...no need to apologize. It is not a problem since I don't actually read your letters.

In retrospect...
Brett asked a lot of good questions and his letter was really interesting. I was wondering how you met this person? Did you have any suspicions your friend was not from earth before you found out? How did you find out?
I hope I could recognize someone from another planet if I was talking to them. Why isn't it a given that humans must be related to the most human looking entities? Don't these human types serve the greys? Do they have souls? There is a theory that some other worldly beings visiting earth are drones from a hive. This particular theory scares the shit out of me.

Michael, I was wondering if you saw the ufos while filming the airshow or did they show up on the film after developing? Are the pictures entered into this website? I don't know the story but you said you had a close encounter What kind of a close encounter?

Martin, It's true, If it were just regular people I wouldn't be as convinced as I am when it is astronauts, commercial and military pilots and police. They just don't have anything to gain (and everything to lose) by lying.

Alan, I'm not sure an ectoskeleton would help since bone is bone. Maybe there is a way to protect it. Seems like there must be at least hundreds of alien life forms capable of interstellar travel. Look at humans. We are a relatively young creature using 10 percent of our brain. Not long ago we were chipping flint to start a fire and now we are travelling the cosmos. I think others must be doing the same thing.

As many people accept ufos as reject entirely the concept of God.
This is only about 10% of the world.
You bring up a good point. I have always wondered why on such flimsy evidence does 90% of the world believe in a larger than life, all powerful diety? Where do all these faithful get their ideas? Everyone believes in a different diety but most people subscribe to a theology of some sort. Governments, communities, families, churches, schools, holidays, lifestyles, all based on a firm belief in something pretty darned unbelievable A master intelligence, a soul, an afterlife, a raising from the dead, a reincarnation. I surmise something must have happened to kickstart and inspire all this faith, retelling and belief.

As for the reality of UFO's...Why in 1969 would The United States Federal Regulations add "The Extraterrestial Exposure Law" ?
title 14, sec. 1211 ( since removed.)
Now maybe Officials were all high and hallucinating but the Govt assumed the right to hold people who'd had extraterrestial exposure indefinitely without a lawyer or a phone call. Anyone you spoke to could also be held.
Pilots, astronauts and militarymen who reporting sightings were often harassed and threatened with fines and the loss of their retirement benefits if they spoke about it.
Why would you go to all this trouble to prove nothing's there if nothing's there?
There's something there.
