The guy is speaking as a 2nd source (at minimum). "He has heard reports of such things..." Me too!!! |

The guy is speaking as a 2nd source (at minimum). "He has heard reports of such things..." Me too!!! Many decades ago, when I was just a young airman in the USAF, the quiet nighttime air on the flight line was interrupted by the sound of an M-16 firing off a few rounds. Now, we seldom had much cause to shoot at things there in Nebraska, hardly a hotbed of subversive incursions on military property. But on this night, a security guard observed an alien spacecraft attempting to land near our alert aircraft pad. The vigilant guard managed to get a few rounds off, chasing the spacecraft away but in the process hitting some of the enlisted housing on base. This was in the mid-70's, when the usual cure for boredom was drugs. |

By aliens, do you mean Salvadorans, Guatemalans, or Venezuelans?

By aliens, do you mean Salvadorans, Guatemalans, or Venezuelans? Calling to mind the question: Would space aliens be illegals? |

It's been the case since human civilization started. As far as we know that is correct. I would hope that perhaps as we advance as a civilization, and our basic needs feel secure and less threatened, we could take more of a “United Federation approach” and seek out new life forms in peace, if we ever explore deep space. Yes, I know it’s a TV show. I just hope there is more to an advanced existence than for a total conquest of inferior civilizations. |

While I have serious doubts about our ability to travel the stars, I would expect that the abundance of resources in asteroids and uninhabited planets would likely negate the need to conquer anyone. After all, that's what conquest here was all about. |
