Theories As to Why Aliens Come Here
Curiosity
One of the many reasons put forward as to why we are being visited is that
it is just a simple case of curiosity. In a similar way as the first
explorers of our planet discovered new lands and new civilizations (e.g.
the Incas, Mayans and Indians), alien life forms who stumble across us in
their exploration of space may find us an intriguing and interesting
species in our own right.
This would tend to explain why there has been so many sightings of various
types of craft. Alien races, once they had learned of our existence, would
want to come and observe us in a similar way that other civilizations on
Earth were observed.
However, this simple curiosity theory does not explain some of the more
'disturbing' aspects of Alien encounters such as abduction experiments and
mutilations. This problem can however be catered for by the fact that we
are probably being visited by more than one race of alien civilization,
each having their own agenda.
Also, once an alien civilization had discovered us maybe various groups
within that civilization started visiting us. A group of alien scientists
would obviously have a different agenda to a group of alien 'tourists' or
even alien 'joy riders'.
Minerals
Another popular theory put forward is that the Earth may well contain
certain minerals which are not present on the alien planet. There has been
some evidence of this in various reports and claims of 'underground' alien
bases and sightings of craft seemingly taking samples of earth, planet and
even other life forms.
However I feel that this is probably the weakest of all the theories as
surely we would notice any great reduction in any of our more common
minerals. However it may be the case that the aliens only require very
sample amounts of a particular substance for their purposes.
To Warn and Protect
One strong theme to of emerged from many of the abduction and contactee
tales is one of kindness and protection. Many abduction victims claim to have
been shown mental images of the destruction of Earth through neglect and
war. These images have been remarkably similar across a broad spectrum of
abduction victims each basically confirming the same images of death and
destruction.
The early contactee claims of the 1950's also had a similar theme to them.
Many contactees claim to have been shown similar mental 'films' and to of
been warned that if the people of earth do not change their ways than the
earth will slowly destroy itself.
At first many of these claims seem strange if not absurd, however it must
be remembered that the modern UFO era occurred very shortly after the
first atomic bombs had been detonated around the mid 1940. Now this may or
may not be 'proof' but it is certainly then a strange coincidence.
Another fact worth remembering is that several of the famous sighting
cases have occurred around nuclear installations, (Roswell was the worlds
first nuclear bomber Air Force Base), and seems to indicate that the
aliens are demonstrating that they could if desired 'take-out' the nuclear
arsenal of both East and West.
Genetic Manipulation
One of the more recent theories is that the aliens are using the human
race to conduct some form of genetic experiment. This has come about
fairly recently due to the connection between animal mutilations and
UFO's.
Many abduction victims claim that they were subjected to strange
experiments including the removal of semen from men and eggs from women.
Some women even claim that they have been impregnated only to have the
fetus removed shortly after conception.
Various reasons have been put forward for these experiments. They range
from the theory that the alien civilization is dying and needs our genetic
material to continue to survive to the fact that they are crossbreeding
humans and aliens to make a new race. Indeed several abduction victims
claim to of encountered strange 'human-like' children whilst on board the
alien craft.
Another theory for this genetic experiment is that the aliens are changing
themselves so that they can live on earth. The alien life forms as they
stand might not be able to survive on our planet for too long due to
atmosphere differences and our diseases.
This theory certainly seems very plausible when you take into account the
abduction stories, animal mutilations and experiments. Several of the
early contactees also claim that the aliens 'were adapting themselves' so
that they could 'coexist' with humans.
Invasion
The last theory that I will put forward for now is that of the 'invasion'
theory. Now this theory was put together by early contactee claims.
However, over the years the theory has become less widely accepted.
The main reasoning against this theory is that any civilization that can
traverse space and time should be able to invade a civilization that has
been flying for less that 100 years. Also if the invasion theory is
correct then surely we would have been invaded many years ago and I would
not be writing this.
Supporters of the invasion theory have recently started using the Genetic theory
to explain why we have not yet been invaded. They claim that the aliens can
not exist as they are at present without some genetic modification, and
hence the abduction, mutilation and experiments.
This could be plausible but again with all the abduction cases there has
been very little 'evil' intent from the aliens. Only in one or two cases
has any invasion overtones been mentioned.
