Here and there I hear people talking about a possible "alien invasion." What a load of crap! If they wanted to do so, they would have done so a very long time ago. Probably long before humans ever existed. On a different topic, throughout my life, on around 14 different occasions, I have seen strange things in the sky. On at least three of those occasions there was absolutely no doubt that what I was looking at was an extraterrestrial vehicle. Or at least something using extraterrestrial technology. So for me, there is no doubt.
Here is another point. Almost certainly, it isn't so much that extraterrestrials don't want to make open and repeated contact with us to where it can't possibly be denied. It is those who run our governments who don't want such a thing to happen. Because if it did, their power over the populace would vanish. People would say to the politicians, "Who in the hell care what you have to say. You're just a stupid human. I want to hear what they have to say." Also, there are many religions out there. (Which unfortunately includes the often violent and often kamikaze muslim religion) With extraterrestrials around, none of them would have a leg to stand on any more. Also, no doubt many people would be very upset at having the ability to lie to themselves ripped away from them.

Re: The Alien Invasion!
I was once sitting on a beach near Sydney all night until dawn began to break. Just as there was a tiny glimmer on the horizon, I spotted this bizarre shape in the sky.
Hard to describe, but it was basically rectangular with protrusions on the side like wings, but the wings appeared to be slowly moving up and down, almost like they were flapping. It was still dark, still night, so the only way you could tell the shape was because of these small, faint points of light at the corners of the object.
Me and another chap sat there for a good half hour watching this and it seemed to be heading towards us. But as the sun rose, it became increasingly difficult to see it, despite the fact it should have been nearly overhead.
With nothing to see, and dawn upon us, we got up to walk away pretty sure we'd seen a legit UFO... except there was a faint noise from above.
The noise was QUACK
Looking up again, and really focusing in, I finally spotted a formation of geese flying overhead. They had white bellies that reflected light much better than the rest of their bodies. The impression while it was dark was that the separate geese flying in formation was a solid shape.
Had I walked away 10 minutes earlier, or just failed to hear the noise, I am sure I would have been just as confident that I'd seen a UFO of the alien-visitation kind.
Whereas, in reality, I was just mistaken.
I wonder which is really more likely: interstellar visitors come all this way across the vastness of space, but not to meet and greet, but to stay hidden, silently watching and then having their space-faring hyper-stealth technology strangely fail as they're spotted by a half-drunk surf hippy on an Australian beach... or whether humans are just prone to make mistakes and to a pathological level of self-certainty.

Re: The Alien Invasion!
There's quite obviously no trolling content in there whatsoever.
I do think it very strange behavior though to come to this forum, call everyone stupid, then accuse long term members of trolling.
I'm guessing you were here before under another guise and you've come back to try and recover perceived past defeats.
