UFOs

For years, the world has been distracted by the wrong question: "Are UFOs real?"

The more important question is: "Are they relevant?"

The resounding answer is, "No!"

Whoever the aliens may be, they are keeping a low profile. If they abduct somebody, they almost always bring them back. If aliens have observed or visited this planet, they seem to be respecting the Star Trek "Prime Directive" of non-interference—which is the most we can reasonably expect of any alien race.

Aliens didn't create the problems of Earth, and aliens can't solve them. Aliens can't solve the problems of your life either. Whether or not they are circulating in the atmosphere has no bearing on what you have to do on this planet. UFOs are a big distraction for anyone who chooses to look for them. Isn't there something more important you can be doing with your time—something real?

Is there extraterrestrial life "out there" somewhere in the universe? Almost certainly. But as long as it is light years away or not showing itself overtly, you have to make your own decisions without reference to it. There will always be things beyond our current understanding (Imagine explaining electricity to the Romans!) but we have to make decisions based on the knowledge and tools we currently have.

Do aliens have superior technology? If they have reached our planet, they certainly do, but that technology cannot and should not be used to help us. On Earth, when outside technology is introduced into an indigenous culture, it always screws that culture up. ALWAYS! So let's be grateful to the aliens for keeping out of our business.

If the aliens could speak to us, what would they say? "Get a life, Dude!" We've got to work out our own problems using our own resources and stop looking to the heavens for salvation.
