all our troubles, wars, disputes everything so inconsequential.

And to see all the other worlds, an uncountable number of them actually, it would seem to indicate there must be other intelligent life out there someplace.

Yet consider this. What if we are the only ones. What if this planet is the only place in the entire universe were life has emerged from simple organic compounds.

Doesn't this place an enormous responsibility on us, we humans, to preserve this planet, and also look at each other with more respect.

I personally do not believe UFO's are visitors from other worlds. I do believe UFO's exist, for I have see one.

It was flying very slowly from the east just after sunset with flashing lights around its perimeter. And as it got closer and closer, I finally discovered it was a small plane, a Cessna I think, towing an advertising banner with lights. But for a while, it was unidentified and I could not determine what it was, so my mind played tricks and my imagination attempted fit what I was seeing with something I could recognize.

As for abductions, I cannot believe those that claim being abducted. I believe they believe, some of them anyway. And for those that believe, I would say they had to be hallucinating or having a vivid dream.

However, it should also be pointed out that historically, even long before current events there are accounts of strange encounters with others, not humans. In those times though, these people say they saw and heard God or an angel. Do we believe the prophets of old, or say they are crazy too?

Are these 'encounters' more about us, and what WE really are. Are dreams real? Or is reality the dream? What are we, and what can our mind do?
