What lesson can we draw from that??

1. Dunno, but reminds me, again, of Steven King's 11/22/63,

in which the unraveling of the planet began in the United States.

7. It's a cultural phenomena

(so-called sightings highly concentrated in one or two geographical areas) rather than something real.

Another thing to consider is that these "sightings" have a strong tendency to increase when ever some event publicizes the topic such as the ET movie or War of the Worlds etc.

8. I agree with Steven King, 11/22/63 was the first strike at this nation as a democratic republic.

4. I'm with Neil DeGrasse Tyson

When and if they come, we'll ALL know.

5. And it won't be good.

9. Hawking so much as said it wouldn't be good. He was probably right.

10. I saw that, it's what made me decide that a while back.

Too much Star Trek, prime directive, explorers type scifi almost certainly gave people the wrong impression of what the arrival of aliens would actually mean.

Seeing what humans are willing to do to each other cemented my belief that Hawking was right. It won't be good.

11. Well, when the people on this planet went exploring new territories, they didn't have good intent.

Why would aliens be different?

6. But blog-squatch!

There are fuzzy blobs doing strange things we don't understand! What, do you think we're all alone in the universe!?
