If somebody tells you that they saw a UFO, you would be all over them asking them about what they witnessed, if that same person says they were abducted by aliens you would probably go quiet and listen to their story while you were trying to suppress laughter but if they said they knew somebody that was an alien from another planet, you'd probably run screaming from the room just in case this certifiable nut was dangerous. At least I hope that's what you'd do.

There is a saying in the Christian religion that the greatest trick Satan ever played on us poor mortals is making us believe he doesn't exist and thereby giving him enough power to visit whatever evil he wants upon us. In the case of alien visitors to this planet, we are faced with the same dilemma. I know personally that if somebody came to me and tried to convince me they were from another planet, I would calmly tell them that they were stretching the limits of what I would believe and then I'd be on them like white on rice to make them prove to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were what they claimed to be.

There have been many movies, television shows and books made about aliens supposedly being amongst us and most of those are in the realm of fantasy as a form of entertainment. Shows and books however don't bother me when dealing with aliens among us, what bothers me is when it bleeds over into reality. In the real world there have been groups like the infamous Heaven's Gate whose leader claimed to be an alien living amongst us and then convinced his followers to commit a form of suicide in order to be saved. The problem is that there are still groups like Heaven's Gate out there and we have to be on our guard.

We also have the Men in Black and from all the reports received about these people, there can be little doubt that they must be some kind of organization that is unfamiliar with Earth and Earth customs.

Now, I'm going to do something that might be a big mistake, but I'm going to examine the concept of aliens being amongst us based on mere human rationale.

Firstly, if they were here, they would have hundreds of years of data to make sure they could blend in properly. Secondly, if they are as advanced as we give them credit for, they surely have the technology to be able to disguise themselves into perfect human replicas. And this leads me to a third point which is if they are among us and IF they have gone to all this trouble to blend in with us, does it make any sense that they would reveal themselves to us?

Aliens may be amongst us but if they are they are not going to be coming out and telling us about it after going to all the trouble to be invisible to us.....

But that's just my take on it!
