There have been reports of UFO's and alien visitations for well over 8,000 years. Many cultures claim their civilizations sprouted from alien contact.
Maybe. Maybe not. But there is little doubt that more and more people are seeing and reporting such things around the world, with many now providing credible video evidence. The question should be: who, or rather what are they, and what is/are their objective(s) concerning Earth and its inhabitants?
Most people tend to believe they would be "friendly" and have good, or even no intentions; that they are simply studying us, or perhaps planning to make official contact once we prove ourselves "worthy".
BUNK! Presuming for a moment that alien beings are actually living creatures, there is almost zero chance that their intentions are good, or beneficial to humanity, and nearly 100% chance that their intentions focus only on their needs, and their own survival. It is called LIFE, and no matter how advanced that life may be, it is still subject to the first law of nature - survival of the fittest. Every living thing must consume other living things. Something must die in order for something else to live. Look around - can you find any living organism that does not live by consuming something else that is either living, or has lived? Even plants feed off composted materials from other once living things. And any civilization that has existed long enough to be advanced enough to pay us a visit, well, they have long since outgrown the resources of their home planet, and must seek out new resources for continued growth. And that means they would likely want OUR resources.
Okay, so it is a high probability that any living alien will not have our best interests at heart. But that is alright, since the odds of aliens being living creatures are slim to none. Think about it for a moment...
UFO's defy all laws of nature. No living creature imaginable could possibly survive a 10,000 year voyage. And even if they have found a way to traverse space by bending time/space, there still exists other encumbrances to living beings - no living creature could possibly survive traveling at the extreme speeds that UFO's seem capable of, then either stop on a dime, or make a complete reversal of direction at high speed. Yeah, sure, maybe they can control gravity, too. But here is something to consider - what are the odds a living entity could travel such distances, survive such speeds and gravitational forces, and to go through all that just to watch us skinny-dip in McDonald's pond? What is their purpose?
So let's now presume that aliens are not living entities at all. Perhaps aliens smart enough to get here are also at least as smart as we are. I think that is a safe bet! Consider...
Living organisms face huge, and possibly insurmountable obstacles for traveling light years through the universe. Anything intelligent enough to even consider that is also intelligent enough to let something else take the risks. Non-life forms such a cyborgs or robots can do the job better and with few issues. We do that sort of thing now - a tornado hits, we send robots into the rubble searching for signs of life.
So now we have an intelligent life form that creates cyborgs and/or robots to do the heavy lifting. To be effective, they would eventually have to make the cyborgs "sentient", capable of free thought and reason. For space travel, they would need that. What they no longer need are the living creatures that created them. It is nothing new for a sentient being to turn on its Creator, is it?
So now we have a case not too different from "Battlestar Galactica", where the non-living entities are the dominant race and have eliminated or enslaved the creators because they are deemed to be a threat. On the bright side, they probably do not need to consume anything except some form of energy and raw materials for reproduction, so in that respect they are not a threat to us. Yet they are very much a threat because we pose a threat to them!
For a million years, Mankind never quite progressed much. Then, suddenly, he takes off - from making fire to making beer only took 40,000 years. And from making beer to the Roman empire - just 4,000 years. And from the Roman empire to the first airplane - just 4,000 years. And from the Wright brothers first flight to landing on the moon - less than 60 years. And from the moonwalk to all of modern tech, robotics, cloning and 600 cable channels - just 40 years. So, how did we get from fire to space travel so quickly?
Many cultures claim to inherit their newfound skills and knowledge from "star people" of one ilk or another. Let's assume for a moment that there is more fact than fiction in that.
Cyborgs, whose only reason for existing is to propagate and populate the entire universe and make us all one, big happy family may have found this blue granite marble in space, as they have found many others, and they empower the dumb residents with knowledge - as it says in Genesis, "eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge." And they keep "feeding" us information and knowledge that will help us progress - like when Edison got the bright idea for using electricity, or Marconi and his radio. All the while they are "helping" us to grow, learn, progress. But to what end?
Here is where it gets insidious - all the while, they are leading us to robotics, and then cyborgs - which is exactly where we are, at the threshold today. And the goal is to have us eventually make ourselves irrelevant - useless - to where the cyborgs have taken over completely - much like in the flick "Terminator". The cyborg aliens are providing humans with the ability to create cyborgs. That is how they would reproduce.
The ultimate goal of any non-living "life form" such as cyborgs would likely be to make everything like them, and to control everything. A hive, if you will - if you are a Star Trek the Next Generation fan, you know of such things - in STTNG the hive, or collective is the Borg.
What if these extraterrestrials are helping us create cyborg/robots while at the same time turning existing humans into compliant "transhuman" slaves to serve them?
The short take - if aliens are living creatures, they will not be here for our best interests - they will have an ulterior survival motive. They will require resources - ours! If, however, they are cyborgs, and things like time and space mean nothing to them, then their objective would be to make us like themselves - a superior, dominant race of cyborgs, eliminating humanity.
Because ultimately, intelligence - whether natural or artificial - requires creating something. And creating requires resources. And living creatures use up those resources. To cyborgs, it is only logical and intelligent to eliminate the drain on resources, particularly if those who are draining them happen to be aggressive - like humans!
After all, what would YOU do if some creature inferior to you and aggressive were to use up and lay waste to the resources YOU need for survival? What do we do about coyotes raiding livestock? Deer eating your vegetable garden?
Yes, what would YOU do?
