I've never actually seen a UFO, but I would like to. I am very open to the idea of aliens observing us and on the whole being rather bemused by it all. We have made incredible progress technologically and scientifically, but in terms of morality and species preservation we are horribly savage. The fact that the aliens have chosen not to wipe us out speaks volumes. They know we will just do it to ourselves via our economic and military warfare. In the nineteenth century people frequently died of consumption. In years to come the same word will begin to wipe us out again, though the meaning will have evolved.
I've never really felt that I belong here on earth and have often joked that I am just waiting for them to let me on board. In some ways I really wasn't joking. I have often said things that seem quite wacky and so are deemed funny, but I am quite serious. To be taken aboard an alien spacecraft is perhaps one of the only ways to find freedom from the enslavery upon this planet. In the 1950's you could venture to South America or South East Asia to escape the oppressiveness of modern capitalism, but it has spread and there is nowhere free of the influence anymore. The tentacles have been wrapped around the planet and the only way out is upwards and when they put the McDonalds arch on the moon then you need to go yet beyond.
Earth has filled its quota and there is nowhere left to go. The aliens are watching and waiting, but never interfering. I respect them for that. We would observe and invade. The aliens don't seem to be as impulsive as us. I would dearly love to have an experience like that of Norman House.
