At Northwestern I used to visit J.Allen Hynek at his home. Toward the end he was catagorizing various ufos by different charasteristics. That is virtually where we still are today. He was ahead of his time by the position he was thrust into. Most of us do not have a dog in the fight for the truth. Dr. Hynek did suffer for his quest and was disinvited to the American Academy of Scientists Convention by the now unknown status quo ass holes of his day.

As for 'the boys upstairs' they certainly have a perspective on us which is more tolerable over time than our perspective on them which could be summed up in a current populist phrase 'illegal aliens'.
They used to be gods who may or may not have helped or interacted with us. Perhaps in our time they know better.
