3. What percentage of Quix’s standard summaries of such stuff do you tend to believe is mostly to almost totally government disinformation; lies from hell; rantings of crazy people etc.? _______%

Given the fact that the likelihood of other intelligent life (or even unintelligent life) having evolved elsewhere in the universe by purely natural, aleatory means just one other time (assuming for the sake of argument that it happened here) is virtually zero and that each succeeding time would be that likelihood times that likelihood and so on for as many more instances that one wants to posit, there is no chance at all that one race, let alone 9-12 races, of aliens is strolling around the earth, striking secret deals with government, business, and military power brokers, occasionally taking time off to mutilate cattle and stick probes up people's butts.

The weirdness or disparity of everything attributed to them doesn't seem consistent with visiting space aliens as much as it does with those entities described by C.S. Lewis in That Hideous Strength.

There's the possibility that the optical phenomenon described as UFOs are phenomena as natural as the aurora borealis, red sprites, and blue jets. This doesn't mean, though, that they can't be used to lead people to believe one thing or another in the same way that knowledge of eclipses was used by Columbus to his advantage on his second voyage.

Some like to reinterpret old stories of goblins, sprites, demons, angels, incubi and succubi as encounters with extraterrestrials by gullible, ignorant, religiously-blinded nabobs. They believe that it is they who are the cognoscenti who have attained enough of the right kind of knowledge to understand that the visitors are really from other planets sent here to study us and to establish contact with the wise few to help prepare everyone for that great day of revelation which will break humanity free from its shackles of religious superstition and nationalism and usher in an bright era of brotherhood, understanding, and technologically-advanced means of doing whatever it is we've always wanted to do.

To me, they look like suckers getting set up for the big con.
