If 57 Alien species have been identified, why ask if we're alone in the Universe?
Imagine waking up one morning. You get out of bed and head to the bathroom to prepare yourself for the day. Your plans run through your head; getting the kids ready for school, eating breakfast, fighting drivers on your way to work, and working.
While at work, you talk to your coworkers about things you normally talk about.
All of a sudden, a friend runs up to you guys; surprise, and disbelief dominating her face. She asks, "Did you guys hear the news on the radio?" Immediately, thoughts cross your mind. Was there a terrorist attack? Did the Stock Market tumble? Was there another shooting in the mall? Was there a major accident? Did a belligerent country finally snap? Curiosity gets the best of you when you ask, "What's going on?" as you follow your friends to the nearest TV.
"The government is making an official announcement. They're talking about 57 alien species they've identified, and that some of those species have been visiting us since the caveman times!"
How would you react? Reading this article and knowing that the above scenario is fiction, you'd have one of three thoughts:
* I wouldn't be surprised, they exist and we can't possibly be alone.
* It's possible, we need more research; I could go either way.
* They don't exist, nice story though.
But what if this happened for real? This isn't a simple matter of admitting these aliens exist, then moving on. The stories surrounding these alien species come with lots of Pandora's Boxes. They're connected to other government cover-ups; some of those closely guarded secrets may cause you to question reality.
In the non fiction book, "Above Top Secret," government agents allegedly interviewed captured aliens. Per these "interviews," they found out that Aliens intervened in our evolution more than once. The dates that these aliens claim to have "adjusted" our genetic makeup corresponds to when our species made evolutionary jumps.
Even the Bible drops clues to substantiate these tales. According to the witness interviewed in the above book, there's a secret government program analyzing the Bible.
Is it possible that the Bible contains cryptic tales of what actually happened? What would those government agents be looking for? They'd have to release these findings if the government admits that aliens exist. When this happens, one of two things may give; the government's credibility or the general population's sanity.
