It’s amazing how a blog subject presents itself when you
least expect it. Last night I saw a very
bright light in the sky. It dropped rapidly behind the rooftops and I lost
sight of it. Ten minutes later it
re-appeared and whizzed around the sky for at least 10-15 minutes. My friend and I went into the garden for a
better view. I didn’t think it was an
aircraft, it was completely silent and I had never seen anything like it
before. Whatever was it?
Not surprisingly I found it difficult to sleep and my
thoughts started to drift towards UFOs and aliens. Our minds are naturally programmed to find
the most logical explanation for what our eyes are seeing and yet, when there
is no logical explanation, some still cannot believe alternative options.
Why couldn’t those lights have been from a UFO? Because we have never had any known
encounters with aliens before? Because aliens are just the subject of Sci-Fi
books and films?
Now there are lots of things that happen in life that,
whilst perfectly normal to me, are deemed as complete chance or coincidence by
others. Personally I think it’s a
little naïve of us to think that we are the only life force in the Universe. Just because we have never seen it doesn’t
mean it doesn’t exist. I’ve never seen
the Northern Lights but I know they exist.
I have a completely open mind, anything is possible until
proven to me one way or the other. Therefore
aliens could exist and they may well be highly intelligent beings. They could
be of enormous help to us, they could teach us all sorts of things, we could
build a mutually beneficial relationship. But what scares me is that if aliens do exist,
and they have the capability of visiting earth, would the powers that be
automatically go on the attack and ruin any chances that we may have of opening
a dialogue? Would an alien race be
accepted when our world has such deep problems with racism. Would we accept aliens who do not look, and
think, like we do when we are so quick to judge those who don’t conform to our
way of thinking?
At the end of the day these are just my thoughts and you
will have your own. Sometimes it’s only
when we have an “experience” that we start to think more deeply and question
what we are seeing and feeling. There is
so much in this great Universe of ours that we don’t know about or understand, and the future could be so
exciting if only we could set aside our pre-conceived ideas and fears.
But all of this doesn’t answer my question – what were those
lights in the sky last night?
