Stephen Hawking Is Terrified Of An Alien Invasion, And The Reason Makes Nothing But Sense

[ZX86]

65. Alien Agenda?

I think a lot of people are operating in a 1950's era idea of what an alien encounter would be like. Some explorers/ambassadors landing on the White House lawn looking to exchange cultural and technological information for mutual benefit. Others take a view that aliens would be so alien we would hardly recognize them and have nothing in common. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Aliens will definitely be humanoid (two arms, two legs, opposing fingers, etc.). Whereever they come from they will have a similar evolution as we do. Whether they evolved from mammals, reptiles, insects, whatever. They are not going to be coming from a square planet, eat with their butt, and defecate out their mouth. As alien as they are we still will have more in common than different.

The question will be what is their agenda. The answer will probably be various. Most likely several races of aliens have visited, each with their own unique agenda. Since the 1940's there have been UFO reports of ghost rockets, foo fighters, flying saucers, cigar shaped crafts, orbs, black triangles and boomerangs, etc. I doubt all of these crafts are operated by the the same beings.

It's not unreasonable to think that sentient beings hundreds to thousands, millions or billions of years older than ourselves would explore and map the known universe. However them coming here might not be about us at all. Maybe they just need water or a rest stop on the way to somewhere else.

I think a lot of people are whistling through the grave yard regarding alien visitation. It would mean that we are not at the top of the food chain. We may not even be in the top ten. This can be very unsettling. Sorta like all the BMOC's from middle school graduating to high school and instantly becoming insignificant nobodies.

Imagine aliens land and make official contact and instead of a cultural/technological exchange we're informed that Earth has been sold and they're the new owners but not to worry because we are a protected species. Not a pleasant thought. The truth is probably even creepier. If they just wanted our planet for it's resources they could easily kill us and just take our stuff. Introduce a virus, poison the water supply, or just sterilize us and we'd all be gone in a generation. But according to people who claim to have been abducted from aliens there is a human/alien hybrid program. They claim the aliens want to look like us and live among us. Basically a bunch of Single White Females from outer space.
