Name a few?



It was stupid in 1968, too.

Oh, as for why visiting aliens would have to be of a higher tech level than we are: We don't have interstellar travel at our tech level, so anyone who does is necessarily ahead of us. Probably way ahead of us.

Certainly far enough ahead of us that their researchers would be using some super-tech version of MRI scans, not anal probes. Just sayin'

Maybe I am taking the tone of your post wrong, but seriously how many times do I have to say I do not believe this and it was really said just for discussion.

But I never said visiting aliens anyway, hence why I said I will not debate if aliens visited, as it is a debate that cannot be won.

on that note, anyone see that into the universe with Stephen Hawking? He believes there are aliens, and that they might wipe us out. At least that is one of his theories.
