It is to solidify atheistic beliefs among the sheeple.
Yea no doubt that these so-called aliens will bring us a message about how we can save the earth from capitalism created global warming or climate change.
The left-wing base would be so thrilled to hear Obama and even Gore rush to the forefront in front of the United Nations to usher in a New Day of alien enlightenment for all of mankind.
A brick in the wall of denial for the rapture.
“It is to solidify atheistic beliefs among the sheeple.”
The most serious answer yet. Makes sense.
Still I spewed beer all over my keyboard reading most of the other posts so far.
But I appreciated that I got a serious response right off the bat.
Strange article.
A reasonable surmise. No real aliens need apply. There are so many gullible folk in the world it would be a great tool for a would-be world dictator.
However, just for the sake of argument, if there is some forthcoming “revelation” concerning ET life forms, how will we, the viewers of government-sponsored ET documentaries, be able to discern whether an elaborate charade is being played on us or not? Given the right special effects team, any visual experience imaginable could be a complete fake. What would be the test of reality in such a case? Thought experiment time.
This should be a good show.
INDEED.
Oh, I don't know....Angels seem rather alien like to me, what with all that floating around and stuff. ;)
