UFO’s? Yes, but why?

I think most people believe that with the billions and billions of planets out there that some of them are most certainly inhabited by intelligent life. And that some of them have traveled to other galaxies and planets Earth being one of them. They’ve been visiting Earth for quite some time. The question I have is what is their intention? Why do they not try a new make contact?

Anyone have any ideas?

Other than experimentation or just anthropological study, the current behavior (if they're aliens) doesn't make much sense. Why expend vast amounts of resources and energy travel dozens to thousands of light years and just troll people with fleeting videos and pics?

If it was conquest, they'd have done it already and there's no way we could stop it. If it was for "friendship" it's hard to make friends when you're not actually appearing and communicating.

People may say they are getting us use to the idea slowly to prevent panic, but sightings have been around for hundreds of years. It doesn't really hold up.

If they wanted our resources, they could just take it. They'd have to be insanely ahead of us in tech to be able to traverse the stars and could easily just drop asteroids on us. Soooo, if they're real and here, I think it must be for something like experimentation, study, or research or some combo.

Yeah it doesn’t make sense. But then again what do we know about them? They could be just harvesting something in our atmosphere, or ocean etc that we wouldn’t even know about.

First you have to consider what would draw their attention in the first place.

If we were to develop the technology to visit other planets outside our solar system, we'd most likely be looking for places that show signs of intelligent life first. Signs of intelligent life would be changes in the atmosphere that could be attributed to industry, or possibly radio waves.

In order for another species to see those signs from our planet, they'd have to be within about 125 light years, since radio waves travel at light speed, and the first radio transmissions we put out occured circa 1895, and our industrial age hadn't grown enough to affect the atmosphere to the point of being observable from light years away.

If there was someone within that distance, and they had the tech to travel at the speed of light, you'd have to cut the distance in half, for them to detect us, then travel here.

When you consider how many stars are within 65 light years, then how many of them have planets capable of supporting life, and how many of them would be advanced enough and interested enough to come here, it really decreases the odds of anyone visiting us from another planet.

We're too violent to interact with. If too many show up at once, the first thing we'll do is shoot at them. If only a few show up, the first thing we'll do is shoot at them. You can't make friends with someone that's always shooting at you. So they stay high in the atmosphere where they won't come in contact with too many people.

Can you imagine 20 spaceships flying 180 feet above L.A. The cops would be shooting at them.

They'll meet us on the moon one day. Cause it's the only safe place.

I think that they want to eat us and have figgert out that we might not like that idea very much Even though there are some humans here that need to be eaten.

They can travel between galaxies in the blink of an eye.

I have long been of the opinion that since we are more or less out in the sticks as regards the overall galaxy that we are the equivalent of the galactic circus side show.

Why is it that most people that get abducted by aliens live in trailer parks?

so instead you want them to grab one of the Kardassians?

which actually I would be fine with....

Though one could argue that taking someone that no one will really miss or care about is actually the smart way to do experiments.

I think the question is, why is information being released the way it is? In my opinion, there is more to that, than to the ufo's.

We have millions of digital cameras in smart phones all over the world and yet we can't get a single definitive picture or video of a UFO.
They simply don't exist.
