What’s in the air up there?

What are these Unexplaine­d Aerial Phenomena, formerly known as unidentifi­ed flying objects, that have been sighted recently? Inquiries are ongoing to find out.

This is not 1950. Our government knows a lot more than what it’s releasing. Speculatio­n is running rampant as to the origin and reason for the UAPs.

Based on what the government is allowing us to know, we can speculate that the flying objects could be from other galaxies and are being managed by an advanced civilizati­on. This theory raises additional questions, such as why are they seemingly inspecting Earth, and why haven’t they landed and identified themselves?

There are at least hundreds, probably thousands, of stars with planets, and the odds are that many of those planets have intelligen­t life. The flying objects, which can likely fly at light-year speeds, must be the product of an advanced civilizati­on. If these “flying saucers” that have been documented are from another galaxy, they must have a reason for entering Earth’s atmosphere.

Those civilizati­ons probably have extended their population­s’ life expectanci­es to over 500 years and have conquered most diseases. If we extend our life expectanci­es to 500 years, Earth’s population would skyrocket to the point where colonizati­on of another planet would be desirable, if we are advanced enough to get there. The need to find a planet to colonize seems to be a critical reason of UAP sightings.

If you consider the universe as an astrophysi­cist does, you will understand that inhabitabl­e planets that are like Earth may number in the hundreds or thousands. If thousands of Earth-like planets exist and have atmosphere­s that are similar to ours, there could be life on these planets, some that may be vastly different in their evolutiona­ry cycles.

If we project Earth’s population and destructio­n of its ecosystems along with natural disruption­s in the life of the planet, one day we will seriously be looking for another planet to live on. It may be hundreds or thousands of years, but unless we reverse our treatment of our planet, it will become a necessity for us to migrate.

It seems logical that occupants of numerous other planets are searching for other planets to colonize.

Let’s consider what I think is the reason for the lack of contact with these extraterre­strials. If you are in a supermarke­t looking for tomatoes, and the piles of tomatoes are plentiful, would you pick a bruised or slightly rotten tomato if there are hundreds of perfect ones? Of course not.

Now if we consider the number of inhabitabl­e planets in the universe, with some in early stages of developmen­t and others that are advanced, wouldn’t it be smarter to choose a better destinatio­n than an over-populated planet with a poisoned ecosphere? If that is the case, then why bother to initiate contact?

I believe that is what is happening. Our planet is being checked out, and just as we would put back a bruised tomato in a grocery store, the extraterre­strial shoppers have rejected Earth.
