///It is indeed a VERY important question what our government is doing with its high tech stuff and why, because I consider our government far more dangerous itself than any visiting aliens who may have been here thus far. I think if the visiting aliens were dangerous, it would already be over, and we'd be a conquered race.///

I agree. How long can we afford to keep looking for ET and ignore what's going on our own govt? Whatever they are up to, it can't be any good or at least we would be wise to assume so.

Also I am not saying there is no life on other planets but I am saying for that life to be humanoid, our solar system has to be virtually recreated tit for tat and that is statistically out of the question. And even if it happened there would be NO CHANCE of them finding us or us finding them. Anybody who disagrees simply and grossly underestimates the size of our galaxy as well as its immense age.
