Barbara, you are right on point re the "coming to take a look at us, Earthlings." :)
Have you ever watched the wild life shows wherein naturalists, microbiologists, geneticists, environmental specialists, etc work as teams, tagging and tracking animals. They monitor a species migration patterns, habitat, mating rituals, the societies hierarchy, health, etc. etc.......to determine longevity and/or which species are facing extinction. Sometimes, they intervene by pass poaching regulations, cross/selective breeding, etc and sometimes they let nature takes it course simply because there is nothing that can be done. The Ice Caps, native habitat to the Polar Bear, are melting. They the Polar cannot exist in the wild anywhere else on Earth. I was watching a special on the nature channel that basically concluded, Polar Bears are facing total extinction within the next 100 years. What or who is to say that ETs do not have similar objectives. That they are simply monitoring us as a species in the ways human scientists do with animals. Its a 24/7 job taking place, from the deepest rain forests and tropics to the Antarctic. I know, its a rather disheartening, dastardly idea, that humans, to the ET's, could be nothing more than an interest or curiosity. That what we ourselves do to animals that we consider to be lower, less intelligent life forms on planet earth, ET's are doing with us. Then again, when a species disappears or is threatened with extinction, the eco system as a whole, and our lives, are affected. To some extent, seriously. With profound consequences. The Honey Bee is a great example. It could also be that if humans do become extinct, be it from their own stupid foolishness and folly, ie. war/weapons of mass destruction, Somehow, the ET's existence will be greatly affected as well. As the honey bee is a totality of Earths microcosm, so are humans to the health and well being of the Galaxy, or Universe. Perhaps, certain ET's have a vested interest in our survival. Perhaps, among them or their species, there are poachers? Barbara <[email protected]> wrote: Of course I don't know about other lurkers but I'm quite interested in UFO sightings. I believe that they exist and are coming to take a look at us, Eathlings. I hope Mike will be patient enough and let you all who have interesting things to say about UFOs go on a little longer :) Barbara Hmmmmmmm. The UFO postings seem to have hit a raw nerve with a few folks. As a matter of routine, topics come and go, without too much dissent or complaining, even from the lurkers. Seems interesting that UFO subj matter has evoked stirrings from folks who never seemed to have posted much in the past, or at all. There have been other off topics that have gone much longer....without....hearing the rattle of squeaky wheels. Now, ya'll know, deep down in your hearts, somewhere in your heads, that we ain't gonna make them UFO's go poof and away.. [well, maybe, at the least, lists mod can :) ] because they may not share similar interest in CS.
