that's a freakin long ass article!

i read the first part of it however, and it's interesting...i can't wait for peaceful ETs to come and visit us...as in, in public...not some private crap.

I just want to know about the ships man, the ships.

well...what other point would there be of them coming here other than to salvage the ships? :confused:

Seeding a planet with DNA is slightly more believable than the ability to travel millions of light years, so I want to see the base technology first.

I like how they say in one of those first paragraphs that it is now proven by verified fact than 95% of human DNA is extraterrestrial, without actually telling us how they have verified it as fact. Isn't there a name for that kind of fallacy?

Silly. And interesting. But it reminds me of that episode of Star Trek TNG. Any fans probably know what I'm talking about, the one where Picard along with representatives from two other races find a beacon of some sort which then shows a video of a member of an ancient alien race -- the first intelligent race in fact -- who said they had traveled the entire universe for signs of other intelligent life but found none -- and how lonely that feeling was. So, they seeded planets across the universe with versions of their DNA. Or something like that.

Then as I read more, it kind of reminded me vaguely of scientology.

Oh, and I laughed when one of the 'contactees' reported that one of the human-look-alike aliens living here on Earth incognito was making his living as a car salesman. Well, maybe that wasn't in that article, but it is now a verified fact that there is such a alien car salesman.

Be afraid.
