Sorry dharma, I don’t do conspiracy theories, I reference them to appease Aecitia. I know there are many things hidden from the public for various reasons but it is usually for a simple reasons like sex, politics, money, the usual stuff. Ignorance is bliss, I want to keep my mental vision of aliens as old school Captain Kirk as possible, that was the hot alien chick heyday and I’d prefer to keep my dreams confined to just those early episodes. Even if aliens showed up, i wouldn’t trust them anyway, I’ve see the twilight zone “to serve mankind” episode too many times. “It’s a cookbook” still ranks amongst my top 10 favorite quotes of all time.
We don’t have UFo sightings here for the same reason all the streetlights are yellow. Look South, Mr. Hubble built a very large and very active observatory on that mountain to the south, you can see it and it can see you. Nothing in the sky you see isn’t seen and recorded by Palomar. It’s like standing next to the referee in basketball, you can’t pretend you were fouled when the ref is standing right there.
