it didn't convince me. First off, this "Safespace News Agency" that produced this (loosely defined) documentary seems to have been created specifically for this documentary, although they claim they are also investigating chemtrails, which is such a huge load of paranoid bullshit that even the tabloids won't touch it.

Second, they show a bunch of special effects shots, and a bunch of supposed witnesses (who are probably actors), and fail to give us any concrete evidence that any of this is real. If I prepare a news report saying the corn is doing well this year, I'm not going to show an animation of healthy corn. I'm gonna show actual pictures of actual corn. They didn't have any actual verifiable pictures of UFO's.


So we get to the big question. Are there aliens, and are they here? Yes, there are most likely aliens. the fact that life has arisen on this planet means life is possible. The fact that life exists even in the harshest environment indicates that life is not only possible, but probable, and in something as large as the universe that which is probable (or even only possible) will in all likelihood be repeated thousands of times.

Are they here? Probably not. 1) They'd have to figure out how to break the speed of light. Granted, if their species started evolving 100,000 years or so before ours, they probably have some very impressive technology. But the other stipulation is that they'd have to want to come here, and why in hell would they want to do that? With an entire universe to explore, what would drive them to a small rock orbiting a small star in the backwaters of an insignificant galaxy?
