the question has merit
How well are our air forces prepared and equipped to counter Alien Space and air attacks..(In case they attack..)
I think it is perfectly ok to discuss it for educative purposes...
The the probability of an alien encounter is real and as good as the probability of nuclear exchange between the two superpowers...
Please dont think this as a crazy thread...we have to prepare for everything if we want to survive as a species in the long term...
Putting the usual 'hilarity response' aside,
this is a serious question for all of mankind.
Firstly, to imagine that we are the only 'intelligent' beings in the universe is far more laughable than to consider that there are many alien races technologically far superior to our own.
The history of science is littered with blinkered, insular and short sighted bigoted views which, after proper scientific study have been proved wrong, like the "flat Earth" theory, for one.
I posit the following arguments;
We are not alone.
We are not the most technologically advanced.
We are in contact with Alien races.
The general public is subjected to disinformation policies.
Evidence: I have seen two UFOs at very close range, with witnesses.
At least two astronauts have publically declared they know Alien UFOs exist.
I have seen NASA film of UFO interaction with a space shuttle in orbit and film of a NASA mission in orbit where the astronaut shows what is out the porthole, and it isn't one of ours!
Add to this;
the Brazil and French governments have opened there once closed files on UFOs, and now there is an international effort currently at work, involving ex-NASA, ex-military, scientists and other government officials who are publically demanding governments tell the public what they already now, that being, we ARE ALREADY IN CONTACT.
Finally,
think of this;
if you were a technologically far superior race, visiting a far inferior one still developing, wouldn't you carefully and slowly exammine the new race, while trying to keep a low profile? And, if the Alien presence was war minded, what better way to conquer, (if that was the intention), than to quietly assimilate, by co-evolution and cross breeding, rather than opening up a constant global conflict, all the while appeasing the governments in the most powerful positions globally by handing out some technology?
Finally, the greatest danger is to believe the disinformation, and treat it all as a joke.
My prediction; we will all know, for sure, in the coming few years, as nations break ranks with the USA, and reveal the truth.
When it happens, don't be afraid, remember, they have not just arrived, they have been here a very long time!
