Een artikel in Scientific American stelt dat er veel minder sightings van ufo's zijn. En waarom is dat? Zijn ze klaar met hun survey, melden mensen het niet meer? Zie onder:
The aliens have finally perfected their cloaking technology. After all, evidence of absence is not absence of evidence (which is, of course, not evidence of absence). Just because we no longer see the aliens doesn't mean they're not there. Actually, they are there; the skies are lousy with them, they're coco-butting one another's bald, veined, throbbing, giant heads over the best orbits. But until they drop the cloak because they've got some beaming to do, we won't see them.
Sightings are as frequent as ever; people are merely neglecting to report them. With 401(k)s threatening to leave impact craters, no one is interested in aliens unless Alan Greenspan is one.
People are still seeing them, but the aliens have administered a mass posthypnotic suggestion: "When you start to think of aliens, immediately switch to thinking about mad cow disease."
The aliens have cleverly designed their ships to look just like standard commercial aircraft, thus explaining the massive delays at LaGuardia airport. (Newark airport is alien-free, the extraterrestrials having avoided New Jersey since the Grovers Mill snafu of '38.)
The aliens are indeed gone, but the idea that they could complete their survey of Earth in a mere 50 years is both ludicrous and insulting. In fact, they ran out of alien government funding. Besides, a lot of the aliens back on their home planet thought that the missions to Earth were just a big hoax anyway.
Ik denk dat er van alles buitenaards leeft/bestaat, maar of het constant de aarde bezoekt in een spaceship, dat betwijfel ik. We kunnen ons daar toch geen voorstelling van maken, dus er is geen enkele reden om aan te nemen dat ze op een voor ons te bevatten manier zouden reizen en/of dat we uberhaupt interessant genoeg zijn om te bezoeken. De mens overschat zijn eigen belangrijkheid zo vaak.
