I think it could be a mix of both. Either way moral of the story is the government is a fat pack of liars.

At a minimum some crackhead would try to convert us into their cult. That always happens.

But seriously, it's futile to compare human tendencies and behaviors with an alien civilization. We have evolved over millions of years and a number of our traits are based on that history. An alien civilization would probably follow different game rules based on how they evolved.

The human mentality of kill n' conquer never gets old, does it?

that's just being monitored by each other most likely, and lying about the spy devices they use to do so, thus they remain ufo's

Wasn't the whole ‘being watched’ stuff disproven? At least from a local scale?

I don't think so, if I remember correctly only the orbital distance and eccentricity affects tidal friction. Synchronous orbit aka tidal locking doesn't change anything mentioned above.

Maybe that is the standard universal friendship greeting of intelligent life in the universe.

Ufo activity is consistently recorded in the highest levels over nuclear power plants and weapons facilities and active war zones. Clearly we are being monitored by something or someone, and the government is super shady about the subject.

It's gorgeous. I value being able to go and explore and climb hills and walk through forests so much.

This is slightly unrelated, but I'm sure it'll be a great dark spot too. But I've got a growing fascination with Glen Affric in Scotland for the ancient native pine and aspen forests that are there.

But it's next on my list for a get away and hopefully some nice dark skies :)

Common sense should be telling you - we're not being visited by extraterrestrials.

Ah nice. I moved from England to Wales too. It's a gem of a country, I'm starting to really get why the Welsh are so proud to be Welsh. They've got something to be proud of for sure.

I'm not talking about colonizination. Gold, platinum, lithium, cobalt and any other precious metals don't have DNA.

It was on a farm in Meifod. It was the most moving thing. I struggled leaving. I'm from Liverpool, but lived in Manchester at the time working as a DJ and I just knew that wasn't the life for me anymore and I wanted to make Wales my home.

I've lived in Wales for over a year now and I'm just about to embark on a life as a folk musician. It took some time but I'm glad that change is taking place. And that's all because the sky was so inspiring that night. I've never been able to click with a city ever again.

Thank you for downvoting and explaining the joke. Ffs

It depends on if the planet has left or right based dna and/or sugars.

A planet could seem perfectly habitable on the surface, with regards to temp, oxygen levels etc, but be completely useless to an invading species due to incompatible flora and fauna.

Clearly, there is a connection between advanced evolution/technology and anal probing that we are just too primitive to understand yet.

maybe they saw avengers endgame and then

HELL NAH 💀

Sounds like maybe the Brecon Beacons? Amazing place to view the night sky - I saw the Milky Way for the first time from near Pen y Fan recently and I'm not ashamed to say I cried.

Avatar is just a remake of Ferngully, Dances with Wolves and anyother film or story based on the " "plight of the aboriginals" trope. But is exaclty what capitalist greed has done all over the world for hundreds of years. From Columbus to the East India company to the Westward expansion to French interests in Vietnam to the USA's wars in the middle east.

You’re just describing Avatar. And all of human existence.
