Why won't the governments of the world admit the truth about UFOs?
 

Do you think the governments of the world are right to keep the truth from us?

Do you think it would be too upsetting for people to know that UFOs do come to this planet and that they do abduct people whenever they want and there is nothing we can do to stop them?

Or, do you think we can handle that truth, and governments should tell us everything they know?

It makes governments look weak if they told us they cannot stop the abductions I think, and governments always want to look as strong as possible. The governments always want us to think they have complete control. Can you ever imagine the government saying "yes this is happening, and there's nothing we can do to protect you, you just have to accept it".

If Alien abductions are real, and the government can't do anything to stop it, do you think the government should tell us about it? or do you think it's better to just pretend it's not happening?

The worry is it might blow your tiny mind...
best to keep people calm and rational, they work faster.

I wish the government of TIBB would keep thetruth from us.

The X-Files started to suck after S5.

for the people that don't believe in alien abduction, i'm asking this question hypothetically, if aliens were abducting people, and the government could do nothing to protect people from that....

what do you think the government should do? Do you think it would be right to cover it up? or do you think the government should come out and say, yes it happens, and we can't protect you. we have no way to stop this, there's nothing we can do, and you are on your own.

what would you want your government to say?

You'd have people abusing it if they knew about though, Oh I can't come into work today, was abducted by aliens last night and I have a pounding headache now

If UFO's actually existed, for which there is no proof, just conspiracy theories.

I like to think I have an open mind on the subject of other life in the universe apart from us, to say there isn't other life in the universe is absurd. It's a never ending abyss of space. It's impossible to say there isn't.

I do doubt the stories of abduction but if they were happening I doubt the government would reveal that. Like you've already said, in situations like that, they can't do anything about it.

lol, that's a good point actually! there would be some opportunists.

It would probably collapse society. If we were being picked off by aliens and the government was completely powerless. Everyone would build their own Aristabunker.

I see it the same way as i see humans studying animals. Do we go up to a gorilla and say "take me to your leader"? of course not.

If a species is so advanced to travel such distances, and have the kind of technology they have, we must be like animals to them.

We care for animals, we aren't cruel to animals really, we try to be kind and respect lesser species, but at the same time, we are superior and we can be quit cold. and we will do what we want to them, and there's nothing they can do to stop it.

like a cat or a dog going to the vet, they are terrified.

I don't think they are cruel or mean towards us, but they treat us like we treat a cat or dog at the vet. very clinical. We don't want to scare a dog or cat at the vet, but at the same time, we have a job to do, and we have no way to really explain to a dog or a cat why we are doing what we are doing.

Or when we tag dolphins or wolves for scientific studies. we shoot them with tranquilizers, and put a tag radio transmitter on them.

Might try that one tonight :D

:laugh:

Seriously though i do believe there are Aliens out there somewhere but I don't believe that they just swoop by every now and then to abduct people

lol.

my wife won't have sex with me. :(

why?

aliens.

I think Stephen Hawkings once said that if there are aliens, why would we want to meet them? They'd be far too advanced for us; to be able to travel across space when we've only managed a couple of trips to the moon.

if we find aliens who are less developed on another planet, what do you think we would do? do you think we would land in the middle of their largest city and say "hi!", or do you think we'd study them first and even take some of them to dissect and study?

think of what we'd do if we discovered life on another planet. Just look at what we do when we discover new life in the oceans or in the rain forrest. we never say "take me to your leader".

Generally everyone would panic like ****

You have GOT to register that as a trademark. I keep imagining it in Gizmo like infomercials.

exactly, Stephen Hawkings compared it it to columbus coming to America. He had superior technology, and he had no respect for the natives at all. Just like Columbus and Europeans in general saw Native Americans and Africans as animals, not equals.

Yes but the native Americans all knew about it though. If it happened here surely we'd know about it, why would only the world governments know about it? Why wouldn't they just swoop by during the day pick someone out of a crowded street like picking a fish out of a shoal?

Well i think they are more clever than Columbus, at least i hope so.

but i don't think they are as invisible as you are saying either. i think we do have lots of witnesses and radar evidence. I think we do have lots of evidence that they are here.

The chicago O'hare airport sighting was amazing, had hundreds of witnesses, radar evidence. If you have the government and media covering it up, they can be hidden in plain sight.

But why would they care who saw them?

Well why do we try to not disturb animals natural habitats when we study them? because if we influence them it sort of ruins the study. Just like when we study animals in nature, we do try to not disturb them. We don't do a perfect job, but we do try to not disturb them as much as possible.

hhhmmmm I'm not convinced Alex, I just think if there is anyone/thing else out there they're just too far away

well that is a healthy view to have. I agree with you there is not definitive evidence yet. There is no "smoking gun" so i don't blame anyone for remaining skeptical.

If aliens were visiting earth, I don't think the Government would be able to cover it up. Can't really see them playing by the rules to be honest.
