Smart enough to either have conquered the light-speed barrier or figured out how to traverse through wormholes, or something even more exotic and unknown. But they orbit our little planet for the purpose of snatching individuals who were out by themselves, submit them to various unpleasant probes, erase all physical and mental signs of tampering (just unsuccessfully enough to leave trace memories), and go on their merry way. Gee. Sure would be nice if these super-smart beings would do something helpful for a change - save some crops, divert flood waters, or something. But then they would be SEEN and a video would show up that really WASN'T faked, and oh noes!!!!! The Christards would be trying to kill them because they don't believe in Jeebus, New Age spiritualists would follow them everywhere, Muslims would go after them because they don't believe in Allah, and the Atheists would beg them to give Ted talks and explain all sorts of stuff . . .
Yep. Makes perfect sense.
So here's the thing with aliens. They are thousands of years more advanced and have evolved with other senses.
Yes, based on our current understanding, there are almost certainly intelligent alien civilizations out there somewhere. Some are primitive, others are far more advanced than us and others are probably god-like. Most everyone here gets that. What has that to do with the ridiculous assertion that a shadow government exists which is in collaboration with aliens currently or recently visiting this planet? Where is the tiniest bit of evidence in support of that far-fetched claim?
I'll also ask again: Why would someone in possession of advanced alien technology suppress it to maintain a relatively penny ante advantage when they could use it instead to literally own and rule the world?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
