UFO Questions & Answers with Your UFO Guide

By , About.com Guide

Here are a few basic questions that I answered recently for a college project. I'm sure some of you may have some of the same questions.

1. What is your belief in the existence of aliens? What evidence has led you to this conclusion?

From the vast preponderance of evidence that I have seen in my 40 years of research, there can be no doubt there is the existence of life other than human in our universe. There have been far too many reports by airplane pilots, police officers, military personnel, and just everyday people to deny it.

Also other investigators have seen flying craft exhibit maneuverability far beyond our present day capabilities. The flight characteristics of these unknown crafts require stress on the occupants that cannot be tolerated by human beings.

Pilots have observed and locked onto these craft on a number of occasions, only to see their electronics malfunction, and the alien crafts zoom away at speeds beyond our imagination.

2. What would you say to a non-believer to have that person agree with your opinion on alien and UFO existence?

This is difficult, so I don't try to convince a non-believer. If one is interested in seeing evidence, that is another thing. I can show them overwhelming evidence of UFO sightings by sane, reputable people. There is also ample evidence of alien craft in photographs, and video footage of these unknown, flying craft.

Many countries have now released government files on UFO sightings. These files were once "above top secret," and many of them lend to the validation of the existence of alien intelligence.

3. What effect, if any, do you think an alien landing would have on the world's view of religion?

This is a very complex question with many answers. This is also discussed daily among scientists and theologians. The answer to this question is held by the individual person.

For example, I am a Christian, but I have never let the Bible's view that God created man on Earth cause me to believe that God's creation is limited to this one small planet. God may have created life on many other worlds that we are not aware of at this time.

An alien landing would have a profound effect on the religion of many people, however. We would have to answer the question, "Why did God choose to create more beings than man?"

An open landing on Earth by alien beings would completely alter the world view, as we would be forced to accept that there is a "collective" of intelligent beings in the Universe, and we are only one small part of that group.

4. What effect do you think an alien landing would have on America's national security?

We would have to rethink our entire place in the world order. As President Ronald Reagan stated many times, our differences here on Earth would seem small if we were facing the possibility of an alien force from another world.

Our national security would take a completely different approach, as the threats from foreign countries would pale in comparison to that of an alien race of intelligent beings.

This is because we must assume that an extraterrestrial race of being capable of traveling the great distances between stars, or who have the ability to slip from one dimension to another, would have advanced knowledge far beyond our own.
