Which, to be fair, Scommstech did not say -
Ah...I missed that comment but, nevertheless, I was making a generalised comment there. No offence meant and not directed at him.
Likewise though (and again no offence intended to anyone) I find it ignorant to assume that any alien life would think like a human and e.g. be interested in our military or nuclear capabilities. If they've developed the technology to travel the vast distances to come and seek us out, then it's just as likely that something like nuclear power is childsplay to them, and they could easily observe activity on the planet from a distance without having to make landings, or they could easily protect themselves if they did land so wouldn't be all secretive etc. I also find it somewhat presumptive that Aliens would pick to visit us out of all the other possible life covered planets out there; to think we're of that much interest is somewhat egotistical. Maybe at some point in time, a contact will be made, but lots of frequent *sightings* (especially since the 1950's) and always in the same sort of areas of the planet seems a little too far fetched to be credible.
I've looked at many video's and supposed 'evidence' on the internet and I'm still not convinced by any of it. One problem seems to be that people assume UFO means Alien Life, but it doesn't, it just means something that is unexplained, and there are plenty of (currently) unexplained natural phenomena without having to attribute it to life from elsewhere.

EnergyIz, whilst I take your point about UFOs not necessarily being ETs, nevertheless if you delve further into this phenomenon (i.e. not just videos) then you will find a wealth of info involving much closer encounters with spacecraft that would be hard to explain away. Even in some videos, to just say it is a UFO seems inadequate when they can veer off suddenly at phenomenal speeds.
It amazes me that we think we may have the measure re. motives of ETs visiting us. There can be so many reasons, some of which may not have occurred to us. For instance, could they be behind the mysterious crop circles appearing globally? Have we yet to break the code in understanding the symbolism of these?
Also, there is the theory that we have been genetically interfered with by ETs somewhere down the line (e.g. they still haven't found the missing link that connects us to apes). If this is the case, and so many think so, then they could be visiting us to see how their experiment is faring....keeping tabs on us.
Many believe that some of our advanced leaps in technology could be due to contact with ETs and trade offs..... We know nothing about what goes on in secret military bases in USA.
I like to keep an open mind on the matter.
There IS no "missing link" between us and (the rest of) the apes. To think there is betrays a lack of understanding of evolution.
