Our place in space
At some point, most people have wondered if we are alone in the universe. It doesn't make you some crackpot conspiracy theorist to wonder this. Its a perfectly logical question to ask I assure you. Of course there is no way I plan on tackling such a question here. However there is another aspect I want to look at, and it most certainly won't be a popular one.
Lets pretend for a moment, just pretend that a ship really did crash in New Mexico back in the 40's and the government did recover bodies and any other theory you can come up with. Lets say that it is a huge government conspiracy. Why? What reason would they have to cover something like this up? I'll tell you, mass panic.
Every religious zealot known to man would be all over this like white on rice. Using it to their own means. Whether that means something like the Heavens Gate people, or something more along the lines of a greedy televangelist. To something much worse. It will shake some people's faith while opening the eye's of others. You just can't trust or guarantee what people will do. So I think if there is such a conspiracy, that's why they'll leave it at that.
"Your salvation just a few dollars away!"
Now of course that doesn't apply for everyone. It just seems the only people of influence or notoriety seem to be the nut jobs. I mean we've all seen some weird warning labels on products before. Like on a radiator "caution hot", those are there for a reason. Mainly that someone has done something stupid. Same type of thing applies here.
I read this article is what sparked my little rant about this. Not that I believe it necessarily myself, but it got me thinking.
