UFOs?

Personally, I find it hard to believe that UFOs are real.  The militaries of the great national powers would see them with radar and a variety of other sensing systems.  Why would they be so secretive?  Why wouldn’t they contact us by radio and land on the White House lawn or near the UN headquarters???

I do believe that we may be visited by ETs  in the future.  Perhaps they are the angels on white horses who descend as described towards the end of Revelations. 
Sub-light interstellar travel is certainly possible for an advanced civilization capable of magascale space engineering and nanotechnology as well as AI.  They could use beam riders or Bussard ramjet propulsion.  The could brake with magnetic sails. Obivously, there is no beam rider propulsion system in orbit around our Sun, so it’s most likely they would use ramjets and magnetic sails possibly combined with fusion boosters to get up to ramjet operating speed.  Perhaps they would then use asteroid materials to build a solar powered beam driver system in solar orbit and connect us with their beam rider network; but what would they expect in return?  Submission to Galactic Law?  Would they be like Romans who forced us to join their empire?  Or would they teach us what we needed to know to save our planet and let us develop on our own until we could build beam drivers and connect with their beam rider network and build ram jets too?  This seems to be the wiser way to me.

Certainly we would remain in communication with them by radio or laser.  They might plant a colony in our solar system to guide us.  I presume they would come from another star system.  Astronomers tell us Venus, Jupiter and Saturn are uninhabitable, but what if magicians, wizards and mystics had our scientists completely deceived???  Interplanetary travel  to these worlds will be possible in the 21st century.  Why would they deceive us?  Why wouldn’t they come here to save us?  Perhaps they have higher reasons not to interfere in this time of purification and destruction before the coming of a New Age of the People. 

Backtracking a little bit, how would UFOs from the Mother Ships enter our atmosphere?  Perhaps they would have heat shields that burned up and were dropped over empty ocean and then they would switch to jet power.  Unless they were using very hazardous anti-matter I find it hard to beleive the UFOs could use anything other than jet-atomic power to cruise all over our planet with highly shielded reactors to avoid leaving trails of radioactive air.  Fusion reactors are far too heavy for an air vehicle.  Perhaps they know of a secret jet fuel like carbon subnitride???  Even this would only give them limited range.  Perhaps they would use beamed power to the UFOs.   Or they would “drop” in refueling stations that used fusion to extract hydrogen from sea water and fly from station to station and even get LH2 from us
if we were friendly enough to them.

If they come here now, the only way I could see them breaking the light barrier is by traveling transcendentally.  This requires belief in mystic powers; but do their powers come from demons, angels, demi-gods or the Great Spirit?  Perhaps all of these, and some of them are not so friendly…as if a war in the heavens is going on.  Perhaps they despise us because of the way we treat some of our own and they think we will treat them the same way if we ever “get out there” and find that many of them are like the people commonly oppressed.  For instance, perhaps female dominance, hermaphrodism, homosexuality, polyandry, “free love,” a tendency to addiction, extreme vegetarianism, physical weakness by comparison to us or great physical strength that is often envied are normal and natural to them.  Perhaps they cannot judge us.  Hell, many people don’t even know how to judge each other.  What if the ETs  are all black?   What if they just fear our germs and know that we should fear theirs?  Maybe there just aren’t any ETs “out there” at all. 

What if they do know how to judge us and master us, but know that we don’t want to be judged and certainly do not want to be mastered, so they are leaving our progress and evolution, social as well as technological, up to us.  In any case, I doubt that ETs could save us, but only help us save ourselves and our troubled planet, so there isn’t much use praying to the aleins or waiting for the glorious day of rapture when they get here.  Either way we must take action and learn to love and tolerate all people, and ourselves as individuals too.  We must give up hate and greed.
