Do We Desire Alien Contact?
By Billy Booth
There are many
different opinions being tossed around about this thing called alien contact.
Although we see UFO and Alien influence everywhere these days, most of it is
light hearted, like promoting products on television. But, when it comes down
to the really serious ramifications of contact with an extraterrestrial race of
beings, there are a number of things to consider.
Those who believe that the multitude of UFO reports
contain at least a small fraction of true visits by ET, must also believe that
contact, at least to a point, has already been made. If that is the case, then
our visitors from beyond are keeping their distance, at least for the time being.
Although there are a number of well documented encounters with alien beings,
they have all been done primarily on a one on one basis. So far there has been
no landing on the White House lawn.
This type of contact is normally in the form of an
alien abduction, which is almost always a frightful, life-changing experience.
We must remember, however, that there are those who claim benefit from these
encounters, in the form of enlightenment, spiritual healing, and an ongoing
connection with a more intelligent "big brother." People have claimed
to have had diseases cured, emotional and mental problems alleviated, and their
lives totally altered positively by these beings from beyond. But those who are
less fortunate have been treated like lab rats, tagged like cattle, and
humiliated by sexual experimentation and other invasive medical procedures. Women
have even claimed to have been impregnated-later having their fetuses removed.
Often at a later time, they may get to meet their long lost "hybrid child
from the stars." Then they say good-bye
to them.
All of this must
be carefully considered while science is trying to make contact with another
civilization from the vastness of space. Who made the decision that we should
desirously seek this alien contact? Those who so desperately wait for that
signal may not know what they might find out there. And they are speaking for
the entire human race. We must never believe that the absence of contact
equates to absence of other intelligence. Maybe they don't want to make contact
with us as a people, or maybe they are waiting for just the right time to make
their presence known. When and if that times comes, what will we be facing?-the
beneficial, neighborly big brothers, or the heartless, crass, and calculating
scientists who force their will on us.
Just food for thought: be careful what
you wish for, you just might get it.
