UFO's are quite real..people see things daily, that we don't know what it is.
Someone does, just not the person who happened to be standing at the right angle to see the suns reflection off a satellite.

Then theres the ones that are undeniable. Mexico city is famous for having a couple of sightings involving several "objects" in plain sight, in the day light, that multiple people got on camera, from various points around the city, including news camera footage. being visible for extended periods as well. Only to leave, in a manner, contemporary aircraft are incapable of performing.

Yet somehow, the governments have managed to spin things to avoid the obvious truth. The invention of hand held camcorders and camera phones and the internet have made these incidents impossible to hide, or spin...

Theres the footage from the space station, which astronauts and cosmonauts both reported, and got on film, of something leaving Earths orbit at a stupid high speed.

I imagine, we have some form of "contingency" plan, because I believe the Government knows for a fact what is going on, and we're too savage and too ignorant not to think we need to arm ourselves against them. There is carvings on Mayan, Aztec and Egyptian temples of UFO's in the sky, some as very detailed, rockets, complete with a '
"pilot" operating control handles, and flames shooting out of the rear end of it. Point is, they have been here since we we're armed with sharpened sticks and fire, if they wanted us gone, they could have done that long before now, and if they have the technology to make the trip from wherever it is they are from, they undoubtedly have long surpassed any technology we have now or will have for God knows how long..and any attempt to thwart them would be futile.
I believe they began their search for intelligent life long before we did, and they found us. They are observing us, to learn more about their own, social and physical evolution.
nothing more.
They we're created by the same God we was, and may in fact share, a similar soul..the evolution of the "shell" is inconsequential on that level.
They observe..nothing more. but they are there. of that I have no doubt.
