Maybe. If there are ETs, there must be a variety of them, of a wide range of civilizational ages, degrees of advancement, and attitudes towards others.

The wildest theory I have heard is that the grey ETs are demonically possessed but can be repelled by invoking the name and power of Jesus Christ. More measured if still cautionary views are offered by French scientist Jacques Vallée, who describes UFOs as "messengers of deception," and history professor David Jacobs, who sees UFOs as here for their own purposes, which, pursued without our consent, are almost certainly contrary to our interests. Others distinguish the so-called Nordic ETs are genuinely friendly toward humanity.

Some theorize that ETs are from a future version of humanity or a breakaway civilization that originated on Earth ages past. Then there is Jim Sparks, who claims to have begun as a resistant abductee to a cooperative one due to the ET message that we are killing the Earth because of our destructive practices toward the environment.

The UFO/ET subject is fascinating but offers little in the way of solid evidence. Mundane, day to day pursuits are in the end more compelling.

The UFO/ET subject is fascinating but offers little in the way of solid evidence.

The way I think about these issues is to imagine an ant walking around the streets of Chicago.

The ant does not have the mental capacity to comprehend the purpose of Chicago or its inhabitants. All of the daily drama we take for granted is a total mystery to the ant.

The point is that there are limits to our understanding based on limits to our intelligence and sensory and instrumentation capacity.

It is a major error of many humans with a variety of beliefs and traditions to claim certainty that we are the highest pinnacle of creation, the most intelligent species that there is.

Our "evidence" may be no more compelling that the ant's "evidence" about what is happening in Chicago.

The UFO phenomenon (and its variations) are what is called a "clue" that we are like the ants in Chicago--what we don't know is greater than what we do know.

It is not necessary to accept or reject strange ideas that are "not supported by evidence". Just hear them, file them away, and don't be too quick to attack those who claim they have witnessed "crazy" events or beings.

They may have gotten a momentary glimpse and a tiny bit of insight about what is happening in the cosmic Chicago.
