Why do they come here ?
This page will outline some of the most popular theories as to why we are being
visited by lifeforms from other civilisations. The ideas put here are basically
my own thoughts on the situation. I discuss each of the theories in turn but I
feel that the issue is not black and white and indeed the true picture is a
combination of all the theories.
Curiosity
One of the many reasons put forward as to why we are being visited is that it
is just a simple case of curiosity. In a similar way as the first explorers of
our planet discovered new lands and new civilisations (e.g. the Incas, Mayans and
Indians), alien lifeforms were stumbled across us in their exploration of space
may find us an intriguing and interesting species in our right.
This would tend to explain why there has been so many sightings of various types
of craft. Alien races, once they had learned of our existence, would want to
come and observe us in a similar way that other civilisations on Earth were
observed.
However, this simple curiosity theory does not explain some of the more 'disturbing'
aspects of Alien encounters such as abduction experiments and mutilations. This
problem can however be catered for by the fact that we are probably being visited
by more than one race of alien civilisation, each having their own agenda.
Also, once an alien civilisation had discovered us maybe various groups within that
civilisation started visiting us. A group of alien scientists would obviously
have a different agenda to a group of alien 'tourists' or even alien 'joyriders'.
Minerals
Another popular theory put forward is that the Earth may well contain certain
minerals which are not present on the alien planet. There has been some evidence
of this in various reports and claims of 'underground' alien bases and sightings of
craft seemingly taking samples of earth, planet and even other lifeforms.
However I feel that this is probably the weakest of all the theories as surely
we would notice any great reduction in any of our more common minerals. However it
may be the case that the aliens only require very sample amounts of a particular
substance for their purposes.
To warn and protect
One strong theme to of emerged from many of the abduction and contactee tales is
one kindness and protection. Many abduction victims claim to have been shown mental
images of the destruction of Earth through neglect and war. These images have been
remarkably similar across a broad spectrum of abduction victims each basically
confirming the same images of death and destruction.
The early contactee claims of the 1950's also had a similar theme to them. Many
contactee's claim to have been shown similar mental 'films' and to of been warned
that if the people of earth do not change their ways then the earth will slowly
destroy itself.
At first many of these claims seem strange if not absurd, however it most be
remembered that the modern UFO era occurred very shortly after the first atomic
bombs had been detonated around the mid 1940. Now this may or may not be
'proof' but it is certainly then a strange coincidence.
Another fact worth remembering is that several of the famous sighting cases
have occurred around nuclear installations, (Roswell was the worlds first
nuclear bomber Air Force Base), and seems to indicate that the aliens are
demonstrating that they could if desired 'take-out' the nuclear arsenal of
both East and West.
Genetic Manipulation
One of the more recent theories is that the aliens are using the human race
to conduct some form of genetic experiment. This has come about fairly recently
due to the connection between animal mutilations and UFO's.
Many abduction victims claim that they were subjected to strange experiments
including the removal of semen from men and eggs from women. Some women even claim
that they have been impregnated only to have the fetus removed shortly after
conception.
Various reasons have been put forward for these experiments. They range from
the theory that the alien civilisation is dying and needs our genetic material
to continue to survive to the fact that they a crossbreeding humans and aliens
to make a new race. Indeed several abduction victims claim to of encountered
strange 'human-like' children whilst on board the alien craft.
Another theory for this genetic experiment is that the aliens are changing
themselves so that they can live on earth. The alien lifeforms as they stand
might not be able to survive on our planet for to long due to atmosphere
differences and our diseases.
This theory certainly seems very plausible when you take into account the
abduction stories, animal mutilations and experiments. Several of the early
contactees also claim that the aliens 'were adapting themselves' so that they
could 'coexist' with humans.
Invasion
The last theory that I will put forward for now is that of the 'invasion' theory.
Now this theory was put together by early contactee claims. However, over the years
the theory has become less widely accepted.
The main reasoning against this theory is that any civilisation that can traverse
space and time should be able to invade a civilisation that has been flying for
less that 100 years. Also if the invasion theory is correct then surely we would have
been invaded many years ago and I would not be writing this.
Supporters of the invasion have recently started using the Genetic theory to explain
why have not yet been invaded. They claim that the aliens can not exist as
they are at present without some genetic modification, and hence the abduction,
mutilation and experiments.
This could be plausible but again with all the abduction cases there has been
very little 'evil' intent from the aliens. Only in one or two cases has any
invasion overtones been mentioned.
