I'm a nobody in the great scheme of things... and I even go out almost nightly to sky watch and even day watch. Whenever I go outside I look up and 'hope' to see something unusual in that maybe, I can also be part of the great mystery and help in finding a solution to what is happening.

It blows me away when we have highly educated scientists like Shostak, saying things like 'Come on people, if they were here already, we would already know that, because we are listening, Like, as if to say... That 'they' would already be talking to me, if they were here... therefore, they cannot be here.

I can totally see that point of view, makes sense right? It does, 'IF' that was the entire puzzle. BUT IT'S NOT SHOSTAK, it's not the entire puzzle. You're a scientist, your are paid to investigate unknown things and discover possible meanings for 'whatever the issue'. You are a researcher. Please do not think that there can possibly be 'NO' ETs visiting our planet.

This does not make sense coming from a scientist, whose views should be as open minded as possible. Right? Statements like those made by Shostak leave me to conclude three possible reasons to as to why 'they' are not communicating with Seti.

I put these in order, IMHO, of the most likely reasons of WHY there has been no communication/contact with SETI.

1. SETI is in on the whole cover up. If you follow the money here, I bet it will end up somewhere that is connected somehow with the people who would rather 'not' get this information out at this time.

2. SETI is purposely being neglected by 'them'... for whatever reason. We have to remember, that 'if' they are here and 'if' they are doing their best to be 'not detected' There must be a reason. What that reason is, is up for much speculation and debate.

3. There are no such things as ET visitors. That out of the billions of stars and trillions of planets, that are billions and trillions of years old, NO EXTRA TERRESTRIAL beings in all the entire universe, have ever stumbled across our little ol' planet.

Option three has to be thrown into the possible reasons, only because nothing = nothing. If there are no 'current' responses being detected by SETI then there is nothing. Nothing visiting our planet.

Now come on. I am no physicist, I am no mathematician that can instantly calculate odds. But our planet, our bluish planet filled with life, all kinds of life for that matter, 80% water with an abundance of life underwater and above water, all kinds of strange and bizarre species, plus a race of semi-intelligent beings, who can communicated with each other (Yes I'm talking about you and me).

You want to tell me that this lil' ol' planet out of the billions out there, would not be an interesting place to visit? If one had the capabilities to travel here or anywhere in this vast universe, wouldn't 'ANY' intelligent being capable of traveling vast distances, who have figured out all the difficulties of space travel, who is, most likely, much older and much more evolved than us as a species of this universe, wouldn't this planet be of interest to 'ANY' beings (ETs) that could pick up any kind of signal from our planet?

Like was said in the special, we have been broadcasting for over 50 years now, signals that can be detected from the vastness of space, assuming that this would be the 'only' reason to come visit this planet. But, I have to say, that this planet should be of interest to any advanced civilization regardless of signals being broadcast, and regardless of the fact that human beings rule this marble.

This is a beautiful planet with many wonders. I bet in the galactic scale, EARTH is a favorite one to visit. This just makes sense. It's not like every other planet out there is an 'EARTH' like planet. And that's just from our perspective. I just recently read an article somewhere, stating that we 'think' that maybe we have found another earth like planet somewhere far, far away. How crazy is that? These planets have to be a rare thing, and a must stop visit when ETs are on vacation, right?

O. K., IS THAT SUCH A FAR FETCHED IDEA? Look how much we have advanced, technologically, in the past 60 years. We are just talking about 60 years. Earth is what, 4.5 billion years old? Mankind, as we know it, has been around for what, 200k years? We know just from our current date, that we have been keeping track of this date for over 2000 years. In 60 years we have traveled to the moon, launched many probes to other planets, developed a way to communicate to each other over vast distances with a simple keystroke, I can go on and on with our advancements in just the past 60 years. Just a handful of years ago, you would not be able to read this, unless I was writing for a major worldwide newspaper or magazine. (Thanks Internet!)

Come on people. Wake up please. Open your eyes and mind, 'They' are here. 'They' have chosen to allow us to develop ourselves into a state of mind so that we can mentally accept 'them'. I say it like that, because, we are such fragile beings, both physically and mentally. A lot of us would not survive the knowledge that we are not alone in this universe as a fact. I know you know someone who would not survive this knowledge.

Let's put ourselves in 'their' shoes for just one second. Let's say, that you're the ETs, or at least one out of many races of ETs, and let's say that you have tried to make your presence known in the past with detrimental results. (I can list many examples here, but I don't want to necessarily make previous UFO encounters a priority with this train of thought).

We can all agree and say that HUMAN BEINGS from an 'outer worldly' perspective, have to appear hostile. I mean, not only do we kill our own species with wars, crime, pollution, over population, etc., but we are also hostile towards lower species right here on our planet!

Not to mention the ETs themselves. Look at our movies... We always figure that the ETs are here to hurt us. I can only think of a handful of movies out there, where the ETs are here to help us, or are here just because they are curious.

If you knew that if you made yourself known to a planet's civilization that scares you to the extent of hysteria, and even simple minded people perhaps suicidal, would you sacrifice those peoples? Would you even dare risk the fact that because of your existence even 'ONE' human being would die?' Think about that for a minute. What would you do?

Would you try to keep this knowledge as quiet as possible, until, perhaps maybe, this race of beings would be able to handle it. Maybe slowly make yourself known, maybe, even allow yourself to be known to a handful of people, hopefully able and willing to get the real word out? Minimizing the possible casualties? Logically this makes sense, does it not?

I know that you know someone that would probably die of a heart attack if all of a sudden ‘they’ would land on the White House lawn and say, "Hi, we're here, we have been here forever, and your belief system is all wrong." Think about the consequences: politically, religiously, and financially... It would be a huge, dramatic time... and I'm not saying 'die' in a dramatic way. I mean in a literal way. There are some people that would think this is the apocalypse... the end of the world, and that it's the devil's doing, I mean I can go on, and on in all the speculation this would arise. We are 'obviously' not ready yet.

Thanks ETs for keeping this a secret for now, some of us understand this, albeit not that many, if you figure in the entire earthly population that is ready to accept this knowledge, and won't keel over as soon as your presence is made known to everyone. And that we know that we need to be patient and continue to live this life and function in this society, because we have no real other choice.

One day, we will be liberated from all this, I hope that we are able to do this on our own, before we end up killing ourselves. All I can say is, " Please do not let us completely eliminate ourselves." Like children, we sometimes have to get hurt and make the wrong decisions to learn the right way. I know this to be true, as I'm 37, and still sometimes need to learn things the hard way. Thanks mom and dad!

I agree with your plan, 'if' this is a plan, to slowly get the word out to the populous, with TV shows like ABC Special 'Seeing is Believing', UFO hunters, UFO files, and even this great web site UFO Casebook, allowing yourselves to be captured on tape and photos etc. This is a great plan. Some of us understand this and some of us want to help, including myself.

If this means writing articles like this, than so be it. If it means snapping pictures of you guys flying around, so be it. If it means shooting videos of you guys, then so be it. Seeing is believing in most cases, so get out your cameras and camcorders people, start filming, start/keep posting them on UFO Casebook and Youtube, whatever, keep circulating it, keep recording it. It will be our own history some day in the future and we will be the ones that helped get the 'knowledge' to everyone, we will be the ones documenting it.

I want to make a special mention of the Billy Meier Case, as it's most popularly known. Please people, research this information, as this information must get out to everyone. Believers and non-believers, there is simply too much information for all this to be a hoax. Look into it, research it. There is a lot of information coming out of this case, more than meets the eye. I say all these things because I feel I must do my little part in this fantastic journey we are on. WAKE UP! It's our only hope.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
