I find a pattern in these abduction/contact stories that the aliens seem to come here to warn us about nuclear war, environmental degredation, or some such catastrophy. All of these ills they warn about are liberal pet causes, and if they were true, we don't need someone flying across the galaxy to get here and tell us about it because we already know about it. They are just projections of the "abductee's" state of mind.
If aliens want to warn us that some quantum space thread is going to pass through Earth and collapse us into a black hole, then I'm ok with them giving a warning and providing instructions to deal with it. Nuclear war? We got it, it is bad. Thanks. Could have saved the trip though.
Aliens should have warned us about communism and socialism!
I agree. Budd Hopkins, who wrote the book, "Intruders" fills some of this other books with that eco garbage, global warming, etc. In one of his books he lifted a line from the movie,"The Seventh Seal". I knew then I need to stop readying.
Like crop circles, flying saucers will die a death of banality as the "sightings" go nowhere and make no difference to anyone's daily life.
If "they" are out there they wil not rely on zooming around the upper atmosphere and bending wheat fields to let us know.
