This is an excellent point. What if the first point of disclosure is to show us all of the people who are extreterrestrials in the public eye? A true message of "we are no different than you are". I feel if there ever is any official disclosure, it will be done with races very similar to ours. Again, as a younger person, I don't see how people would be so fearful. Being afraid doesn't pass the logic test; if they wanted to mess us up, they'd have done it already.
Quote:I still think contact with our long-lost inner-earth brethren would be a great primer, and yet sufficiently unexpected- even among the conspiracy-minded- to provide ample catalyst.
Whatever type of event occurs- it would be most beneficial if it were something that makes pretty much everybody in the "Disclosure" camp wrong. The last thing we need is Greer or any other "expert" ascending to superstar status and becoming the de facto guru on all things "alien."
This I cannot agree more with you on. I see the problems that people are bringing up and I feel they're valid, but I think there may be some slippery elements as well that people aren't factoring in...
