ALIENS DO EXIST, AND THEY ARE WALKING AMONG YOU!

 






 

 

HOW DO I KNOW?

BECAUSE I - AM ONE.


The planet I came from exists in a time warp, in another space-time continuum, with a world population of just over two billion people.  





Our citizens adjusted to the end of a massive world war.  The economy was returning, but prices for necessities were still high.  A quart of milk costs twenty-five cents, a loaf of bread is fifteen cents, and gas is almost a quarter a gallon. 




Men controlled our world – white men.




As directed by the Bible, men were the head of the family and women were mothers and housewives.  Men smoke and drink alcohol for relaxation.   Male life expectancy was nearly sixty years.  Unlike your world men didn't wear shorts and sneakers, men wore long pants and leather shoes; feet tend to sweat in leather shoes leaving men with stinky feet.  There were numerous products available for foot odor. 



We were advancing in technology.  We had long been able to use a telephone with the aid of a telephone operator.  In some cities, phones were automated and could be dialed for direct connection.   Of course, we could mail letters for the price of a three-cent stamp, and our recipient will receive the letter in five or six days.   An airmail stamp will cut the delivery time to three days.




Transportation for us was train, bus, or automobile.  Automobiles require constant tune-ups and were difficult to start in the winter.  Flat tires and blowouts were common, but everyone who drove was proficient in changing a tire.




Our world had no television and family entertainment was centered around radios.  We could listened to news, mysteries, comedies, and even children’s programs. 





Air conditioning didn't exist.   We had fans to cool us, and in summertime we slept with our windows open.  At night, in the summer, we sat on our front porch and spoke to our neighbors as they strolled by.




Technology was advancing.  We had commercial air for those who could afford it, and our planes could fly over one hundred miles per hour and to almost ten thousand feet without oxygen. 




The military was experimenting with rockets and there was talk of sending man to the moon.  It concerned me that a military project developed an atomic bomb that killed two hundred and fifty thousand civilians 




That was the world of my childhood.  Now I find myself in your world.  I have been transported through a wormhole. through time and space. It seems to have happened very fast. 




Over eight billion people populate your world, and the number increases exponentially. 





  The technology of this new world is mind-blowing, and I struggle to keep up, 



 Otherwise, this world is as fucked-up as the one I inhabited.

 Instead of overt racial animosity, there is political animosity;




 the natural environment is much worse, your air is bad, your water is polluted, and few unspoiled wilderness areas still exist;



 

hunger, war, and poverty are tolerated by your government and citizens; 





there is a massive financial gap between the haves and have-nots;





 the availability of guns has turned your country into a war zone, where even children are not safe in schools;





 extreme fundamentalist religious cults still influence public discourse; ignorance still abides.





The human beings of my world seeded your world.   Though quantum leaps in technology would have you perceived as an advanced civilization in my world, your humanity has not changed.  You still share 98 percent of your DNA with lower primates, which inserts its dominance.




Yes. I am an alien from another world.  Everyone who looks at me can tell that I am an alien, and identify others just like me.





By the way, flying saucers don’t exist.

  2. A very sobering post, Ol'Buzzard. Describes so many of us. We are indeed aliens in our own world.
