1 RespuestaPeople are so quick to go the whole, "government is hiding them" route. Take a second and think. The farthest we have ever sent man, the moon, takes less than a second for light, the [i]fastest thing in the universe[/i] to reach. An alien civilization would have came here from a distance that light would take millions or billions of years to travel. You think for a second we would be able to hold them against their will? Funny joke.

The truth is, aliens once wanted to come to earth. They found an Internet connection and browsed through to see if we were worthy. They changed their minds the second they saw tumblr. [i]~Killionare357[/i]
-
oh, aliens are real, but they cover their existence up, mainly because they don't want to meet us. Can't blame then, most of the population wants to be a attack helicopter or something... They don't want to catch stupidity.

Public isn't ready to hear it. It would cause mass panic.

1 RespuestaEditado por USS Liberty: 4/7/2016 2:16:25 AM[i]I have no doubt that there is sentient/sapient life out there. Thing is, I don't believe that any have visited Earth. We are in a crappy newer galaxy, in a crappy part of that newer galaxy. If we were closer to the universal core, sure, I bet we'd have been visited many a times. Or atleast, a higher probability of being visited. You don't stop at every backwater state on the way to Japan, do you? No. You fly above the backwater states and get to Japan.[/i]

5 RespuestasRefer to the xfiles tv series and movies.

There's probably some extraterrestrial virus that looks like black ooze and it shuts down your systems and puts you in suspended animation. [spoiler]been watching too much x files...[/spoiler]
-
To reduce panic. Ummm. The government may think the aliens are evil. The government may just want to kill them because they could potentially be evil. To use the technology for there own uses. Lots of other reasons. Just watch the x-files and you will get all the answers. And the theme song stuck in your head but it's worth it because the show is a masterpiece.

Some religions could see aliens as demons (as we've done before with other groups) and spark a whole new group of terrorists. If the aliens know that some hoomans want to blow them up why would they have relations with us, let alone visit us? *hits blunt*

1 RespuestaPlot twist: We are the aliens.

2 RespuestasAyyliens are already among us...

Well, how do you think people would react? They would flip shit, and likely start riots to release more info, and then chaos would ensue.
-
Too keep the public from going crazy
-
Because I don't want those damn aliens in our walls.
-
It couldn't be. Despite politics and shit, scientists will find a way to tell people. Or at least other scientists and then on in an indirect fashion. Only if they got 10 military guys to destroy a UFO would they be able to keep it quiet.

2 RespuestasEditado por What: 4/6/2016 5:26:08 AMWell it is sort of out of our understanding but ill guess 1. If the US found alien technology they would try to horde it for themselves to gain an advatnage 2. Aliens are really the ones in control of the world so they want to hide their existence 3. Not likely but our government believes it would cause mass panic if they revealed aliens existence 4. Aliens are really demons.
-
They found out aliens hate us
-
Because aliens don't like us
-
4 RespuestasNo aliens would ever come here. The moment they pass by and look at the internet to learn about our race they would just leave immediatley. [spoiler]were basicly the space equivalent of a redneck child raised by the Kkk cloned from hitlers DNA[/spoiler]
-
Because no one like the paparazzi. See, the aliens, they pay off the government and then they cover them. It's quite simple really, and understandable.
-
Easier question: what would be the reason for not hiding it. The answers are less abundant.
-
I really have no idea. People say maybe for Global control. People would start to question their religion if we have aliens. I personally don't see that. There's no religion out there that said God only came to Earth.
-
That "we are not ready yet" or something of that nature.
-
So people won't freak out, I guess.
