Why? If they're bopping around here with all their ubertechnology you'd think they'd be able to make themselves known to all quite easily.

Don't you think the "UFO" sightings could be defense projects? Whether or not they were piloted by aliens, there definitely were flying objects that were unfamiliar to air force pilots. I worked for two years for Air Force Research Laboratories (Propulsion Directorate) at Wright Patterson AFB. I know all the stories about the aliens supposedly being autopsied there are bogus, but there are a bunch of underground tunnels, and I know there are some deep black projects being worked on just yards from my old office. That being said, I'm also Christian, but I don't find any conflict between the bible's message and intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

For the same reason that a rich man walking alone down an alley doesn't want to make himself known to all the bums and crackheads milling about.

In case you haven't noticed, humans are a warped, primative and bloodthirsty species, as evidenced by all the fundamentalist fistshaking here.
