Little thought is ever given to what will happen, how the world’s major institutions will react when the world becomes aware of the definite presence of UFOs, beyond the possible threat they may pose to humanity. Completely absent from the debate is any possible benefit this may bring to the world, even though there is no evidence they intend any harm. The reality is not the danger they pose directly to mankind, but the indirect negative effect such a presence would have on earthly institutions, especially the bottom-line, whether that line refers to wealth or power.

We must first consider the immediate impact either a high presence of UFOs in our skies, or the open admission by government or the media of that presence, would have on society. In other words, proof that the world will accept that UFOs exist. The ramifications of such a revelation would have no rivals in human history and, therefore, any concepts about this are purely speculative, so, the rare values of logic and common sense must be applied.

The worlds' governments, which will be the first to respond, can hardly be viewed as independent entities, but controlled by the nature of who, or what, power has the greatest influence over them at any given time. History and current reality testify that this will not be the people the governments claim to serve. Whether it is big business, the military, religion, or whatever entity at the helm of any particular government, those truly in control will determine the reaction.

The theory that our government has developed, or is in the process of forming relationships with alien visitors is interesting, but has a very serious drawback. Michio Kaku, a professor in the field of theoretical physics, has proposed an interesting perspective about the way we view extraterrestrial visitors. He questioned the common view that these visitors may be thousands of years more advanced than humanity, and put forth the concept that we should be thinking in terms of millions of years more advanced.

With this in mind, and even allowing that they might be from other worlds, they surely know that we are destroying the very environment we inhabit and causing great harm to the majority of the less fortunate on Earth. They can hardly miss the thousand of warplanes, bomb tests, wars in progress, and web of military bases worldwide. Just to get to the planet they would pass through a virtual cloud of satellites and space junk shrouding the globe. Those satellites are sending and receiving massive quantities of information, including all radio, television, and other communication streams. All they have to do is listen to what has occurred, and what is currently happening, to get a good idea of what kind of intelligence controls this planet.

And, by listening, they would learn that we are warlike, aggressive, self-serving, crime-ridden, self-destructive, territorial, selfish, and an extremely greedy race. They would know that scandal, violence, deceit, murder, confrontation, and avarice not only infest the planet, but that these undesirable characteristics are actually staples of the inhabitant’s entertainment. They would also find that the leaders of the peoples of Earth are fiercely protective of their own territory and possessions and, they would be shocked and distressed that most of the scientists and brilliant minds are engaged in the two most destructive pursuits on the planet, war and the chemical industry.
