according to magazines in Supermarket check-out lines, they also like to have sex with people in middle-America.

... and there are even pictures of the aliens shaking hands with Bill Clinton ....
Especially drunk rednecks in the woods....................
Oh, come on now!
Having probes inserted in various orifices is hardly sex...well, it wasn't for me when I was abducted.
What? Am I the only one who was abducted?
And really…who doesn’t?
Alien visitation highly unlikely -
1. Requires belief that the conditions making for sentient life on Earth are easily repeatable. The number of variables that had to line up to get life started and then evolved to sentience are off the charts. We defy all odds and may, in fact, be the ONLY life anywhere in an infinite Universe. I wonder how such a concept would affect our social rivalries, let alone our concepts of purpose.
2. The assumption that solar systems condense gravitationaly out of stellar dust may not be correct. There are competing theories that are suppressed, such as the Electric Universe Theory that hypothesizes that suns are created in Z and Theta pinch phenomena within the so-called “filaments” that stretch through space and which are actually plasma Birkland Currents. Google it. The many anomalies in the orbital characteristics of our solar system planets are not easy to dismiss by the rigorous mind.
3. Distances too great for life forms to make the trip. An alien civilization with a thousand year earlier start with technology than us, will most likely not be flying about the galaxy in a ‘52 Buick hubcap. They will click their heels together 3 times and incant “There is no place like Earth”.
4. Cartoonish notions that make anthropomorphization assumptions based upon our current levels of technology. Meanwhile we haven’t a clue as to what human technology will look like 100 years from now, nor what will come out the other end of the artificial intelligence “Singularity”.
5. The silly projections of our fears onto the presumed nature of alien beings render the discourse childish and disingenuous. Basing any sort of policy on such fantasist speculation is pretty much a diagnosable insanity. What was the pay out from the multi million dollar and much balyhooed SETI dish array? After 45 years...Zero.
6. The low level of intelligence informing the cottage industry of UFO photos, alien abduction tales and their subsequent comic Freudian “rectal probes”, the infamous “Alien Autopsy” movie that is patently ridiculous, the carnival of “Roswell” accounts, the goofball speculations on the nature of the Area 51 research air base, etc., is not encouraging to a reality based extrapolation of the nature of life elsewhere.
I place the potential of a close encounter of the 3rd kind on the same logical plane as that employed by Black Plague penitents in long parades through a Hieronymus Bosch landscape, mortifying their flesh with whips - superstition.
