Plus, since I live around what has to be the center of a pod-people invasion my conservative neighbors would find that insulting. <br /><br />Are you talking about me killing off Sheri? I had too since these events are what changed the future Lieutenant Stevens into a better person. This whole story was less about an alien invasion and having to do with me pondering what it would take for Americans and humanity in general to change its ways.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-24032344111791909332012-04-02T01:22:48.803-04:002012-04-02T01:22:48.803-04:00Beach,

The last one I stayed in was in Orlando, Florida and it was weirdly deserted. Now it was way on the opposite side of town from the theme parks.<br /><br />John: Have an idea for a sequel, may have to wait to another weekend where I am stuck at home without any beer.<br /><br />Randal: Don't feel too bad about your house. The east coast, Hell all coasts on the planet get in the next story.<br /><br />Lime: Those two channels have a habit of producing similar shows very close together. Now as far as this story is concerned with my imagination being stuck at home with nothing to do produces some strange items.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-74095954545237100932012-03-26T14:10:37.634-04:002012-03-26T14:10:37.634-04:00i don't find your story ridiculous but that na...i don't find your story ridiculous but that national geographic did a show about how we could defeat an alien invasion seems truly bizarre.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-60736720228185137852012-03-26T09:22:48.525-04:002012-03-26T09:22:48.525-04:00I'm sorry, did you post something?

With no other real idea for anything else but wanting to write something I ran with what I had.<br /><br />No, I am not at all a believer in UFO's the vast majority of sightings are like you said normal aircraft mistaken for something else. Others are outright hoaxes and wishful thinking on the part of misguided souls wanting to believe the universe makes some sort of sense.<br /><br />Now I must admit that I do believe there is other intelligent life in the universe and if I am pushed that yes, there is a possibility that have visited this planet. But there is simply NO real evidence of any aliens ever on Earth or in the skies.<br /><br />As for angels, technically I suppose they are the very definition of Extra-terrestrials. In fact, one branch of the UFO crowd say just that. They believe angels are a supremely advanced alien species that watches over humans.<br /><br />As for Sheri, at the last two paragraphs say she was killed when the motel was hit by the alien weapons.<br /><br />JadeJ: In one of those linked videos astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson states that our "fear" of being attacked by vastly superior aliens comes from the fact that Western nations made a habit of doing the same thing all across this planet. <br /><br />As for why they would want to contact us, that is a very good question because in reality I do not think a starfaring species would want to have very much to do with us. Now there is an argument among the rocket scientists that since humans have an ingrained habit of oppressing, dominating, and killing off native inhabitants it's not a too far of a jump in logic that a more advanced species could have the same tendencies. This is such a concern that the SETI people all around the world have adopted criteria preventing a single person or group from answering for the entire planet.<br /><br />Oh yes, "Childhood's End" is one of my favorite books.<br /><br />Life AS We Know It: Now we get to the meat of this story. One of the constant things I ponder about when I want to get philosophical is what would it take for the human race to pull its collective head out of its ass. Global warming, nuclear war, pandemics barely register on the collective consciousness while superstition, greed, and willful ignorance rule the world.<br /><br />I figure it would take an "outside" threat to scare everyone with the threat of extinction before we would change our ways. Since such an event has about a zero chance of happening I figure we are screwed and the human race will continue with the same cycle of empire since Sargon came out of ancient Mesopotamia.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-14891030304153840712012-03-25T11:41:19.504-04:002012-03-25T11:41:19.504-04:00You are a fisherman and know how to bait the hook ...You are a fisherman and know how to bait the hook and reel us in.

After all, a civilization capable of traveling intergalactic space would be of a much higher intellect than we, I think. The real question is, why the hell would they WANT to contact us here in the backwaters of the Universe. The truth is, we are pretty much a pimple on this galaxy's ass.<br /><br />Anyway, a good read on the subject is by Arthur C. Clarke..."Childhood's End". Since it was published back in 1953, it's probably not still in print. I happened to run across it in a local library. Give it a read, if you haven't already done so.<br /><br />Btw, I like your story. Kind of sad about Sheri, though.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-10671931803663725262012-03-25T10:13:41.674-04:002012-03-25T10:13:41.674-04:00You been watching that crap about

Having covered that - I have no doubt that we have been visited by ETs. <br />There is just too much evidence that ties to that being a fact. <br />Here is a poser - Are ETs angels?<br /><br />Now being fair about what those people out around Dream Lake and Tonapath (Area 51) are seeing - Most of that is secret testing of new technology. The F-117 and the B-2 were mistakenly identified as alien craft by the kooks with their telecopes and cameras on the ground.<br /><br />I remember seeing silver flashes of light from the control tower in Germany - UFOs - Yes. Until we learned they were French Mirage fighters.<br /><br />Good yarn, enjoyed it. <br /><br />What happened to Sheri?<br /><br /><br />SargeSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892211119418623595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-39552895468864044212012-03-25T02:17:47.254-04:002012-03-25T02:17:47.254-04:00gotta hide in the basement now.
