"Real life" X-Files

[John D Harris]

On my way to set-up our booth,at 5:30 A.M., to seperate die-hard BAMA FANS from their hard earned money. The all of the FM radio stations were coming in fuzzy, so I switched to AM and picked up a talk radio station. I can't recall the hostette or the guest's name, the guest was talking some wild "X-file-ish" stuff about NASA and the space program. The main primise He was trying to state, was that the reason we went to the moon was to find "Intelligent Alien Artifacts". We found some and that is why we have not returned. Part of his "evidence" was the movie "2001 a space Odessy", He claimed to know Aurther C. Clarke, and that A.C.C. hid the truth in the movie. Allthough the guest admitted that A.C.C. if asked would deny this fact . His most-telling piece of evidence from the movie was that the instructor of HAL was a man named "Langely", and everybody knows that is "code" for the CIA (since it is based in Langely, VA. USA). This guest was trying to say that A.C.C. was trying to let the cat out of the bag, and inform the world of this great conspiracy. So the point to my post (yea, I know some of you were wondering when my rambling would get to it ) is.

1)Do any of you believe that there is intel. life out there?

2)Do any of you believe we have been visited by said life?

3)Do any of you believe that there is a conspiracy in the world's Gov'ts to keep this hush-hush?

4) What would be the reason for this conspiracy?

I answer first.
1) I don't know and don't care, the fact wouldn't change my views on anything.
2) Same as above
3) You have got to be kidding me, I am expected to believe that people can keep there mouths shut. People have never been able to keep their mouths shut, that is the foundation of espionage, to get people who know better than to talk, to talk! Ask your selves how many people do you know that can realy keep a secret?
4) I don't have a clue, but I understand that the stated reason is that it would disrupt the fabic of society, i.e. Religion, order and would bring about world choas. Personaly I don't see how it would disrupt religion, the God I worship is more than capable of watching over this entire universe and all its inhabitants.

Let the free for all begain.

1)Do any of you believe that there is intel. life out there?

I believe that there is, simply because of the reason that God would never create a universe this vast and populate it with only one intelligent species, and in the case that God does not exist, the mere statistic improbability of only one intelligent lifeform having evolved in such a huge universe.

2)Do any of you believe we have been visited by said life?

Nope, if we had they would either have destroyed us, enslaved us or allied themselves with us openly.

3)Do any of you believe that there is a conspiracy in the world's Gov'ts to keep this hush-hush?

Of course not, such stuff is X-files only.

4) What would be the reason for this conspiracy?

No reason to answer this one since there isn't any conspiracy.

My basic response to this is "dunno."

I believe in God, so cannot 100% say for certain there are not other life forms in the universe, nor what sophistication they are at compared to us if they were so. It IS a bit freaky when you see so many documentaries of people talking about seeing "UFO" encounters. All they are fakes? freaks? Attention getters? Again, dunno.

Like Mr. Harris, doesn't much matter to me, as my religion is strong, no matter what, so this subject is more of a light "curiosity" type subject. With that in mind, k, can we as humans say we are the only planet out there that has managed to have intelligent life forms? Our space scientists keep finding more and more planets, galaxies, etc. waaay beyond our reach, who's to say what is there? Again, dunno.

There are so many mysteries it seems in this world. Hey, who out there can explain spontaneous human combustion? Tis rare, but is real, but how and why? Nobody knows for certain. Same with many things. So basically, for me, I don't say Yay or Nay on these things, just keep an open mind, and wait for time to provide the answers..

1. No, not more intelligent than us.

2. No, I don't think any life-form is able to do those trips at this time.

3.Conspiracy? What conspiracy? I don't know anything about any conspiracy! Who told you?

4. There is no conspiracy! I already told you! Now, leave me alone!
