It’s life Jim, but not as we know it

I’ve read lately that there have been more sightings of UFOs in the sky, people who in the past would have been locked up for being crazy are now quietly being listened to.

I haven’t seen any myself but lots of people, thousands and thousands of them swear they have seen them or have been abducted by them and some go even further by saying they’ve had tests conducted on them by aliens.

Aliens, whether you believe in them or not are a hot topic in a lot of books, magazines online articles, TV programmes and of course films. Millions of dollars are spent trying to make a convincing monster or alien for the films, the special effects are stunning, and the films usually turn out to be visually appealing to the masses, great.

What worries me is if they are out there and they are real, and they are supposedly vastly superior and intelligent in every way and have come here to make contact with this backward little planet, why oh why do they always go RARR, why can’t they speak to us or communicate with us? Why not have a universal translator and talk everything out?

The soft side of me hopes that if they come to see us, they will be kind and will help us. That they will have a cure for the bad diseases here and dish it out, that we could be friends and all co-exist. The other side of me worries that because man as a race is so stupid, he will try to destroy something he doesn’t understand and will launch nuclear weapons to fend off these visitors but devastate this world in the process. Or, like a lot of the plots in sci-fi films the aliens will want to use this planets resources for themselves, enslave the entire world’s population or worse just evaporate this beautiful green jewel like orb we call earth because it’s in the way of a proposed inter galactic highway.

If there was ever a time for a super hero to step in and slip into his super hero lurex costume, don his mask and get to it, either alone if powerful enough or with a group of his friends, now is the time, this is your moment, we need you.

I don’t understand why man is reaching for Mars when he hasn’t finished exploring this planet, is it just greed or the need for space? Space to put more litter and junk? Another planet to ruin and use up, it saddens me deeply.

Either these sightings are new visitors, or they’ve been here all along and we’ve missed that fact. I don’t know to tell the truth and it’s up to you to make up your own mind on that one. Me, I’m staying open minded and like always hoping for the best. I’m a kind of the glass is half full kind of person, it annoys my husband I know but I can’t help the way I’m wired, I’m always stupidly optimistic and won’t give up trying if something fails or needs replacing.

So, I guess I’ll be looking to the skies, searching for those fastmoving lights that people say they see, maybe I’ll get lucky, who knows, maybe they can convince me they are real.
