intelligent life forms would stear clear of earth. what if nasa was investigating a new planet and suddenly the entire conscisness shifted due to terror and fear- would they stay to find out more? clearly we are in bad times here and if there are to be more sightings, life on earth is going to need to change. the day of Sept 11, i asked myself this same question. if there are no planes, maybe ill see a ufo, or better yet, maybe they will respond in our defense. but the feeling i ended up with was one of abandonment. hopefully as we come out of this tramatic situation, they will return and we can continue or brotherhood, collecting information and experience in light and love.
