• UFOs have long been seen in our skies. With reliable eyewitness accounts, radar tracks and valid photographs, the evidence for their presence is clearly overwhelming. If we assume that these are alien visitors from other star systems, why are they here? Why do they visit us?

• In sci-fi movies, Hollywood’s typical answer is something like: “We’re from a planet that’s dying, and we have come to take over Earth.” But these anomalous UFOs are obviously of advanced technology and they have been visiting our planet for so long — quite possibly for centuries — that if their intention was to take possession of Earth, they could long since have done so. This reasoning of course assumes that one can infer things about an aliens’ thought process. It seems improbable though, that an alien race in need of a new home would wait for centuries before securing it, when they could so easily prevail.

• It may not be coincidental that a spate of UFO events followed so soon after the atomic detonations at Trinity and Hiroshima. Possibly, alien UFO crews thought: “What are these miscreants up to now? Maybe we ought to keep an eye on them.” If they’ve lingered nearby for years, closely watching the antics of humankind, one could scarcely blame them for having some concerns about our mental stability as a species.

• Perhaps some UFO crews are time travelers from the distant future of our own planet, coming back to visit us, their ancestors. Seeing as they have mutilated cattle and abducted humans, are they collecting DNA to prevent animal extinction or for some future use of human DNA? The first step in the process of answering questions is to ask them.

Unidentified flying objects have long been seen in our skies. In terms of reliable eyewitness accounts, radar tracks and valid photographs, the evidence for their presence is clearly overwhelming, but we’ll probably always have more questions about them than we have answers. One haunting question: Why are they here? Why do they visit us?

Let’s entertain this question first under the assumption that at least some UFOs are indeed alien visitors from other star systems. Hollywood offers a reason for their presence, almost surely not the right reason. In dozens of sci-fi movies, aliens have told their human contacts something like: “We’re from a planet that’s dying, and we have come to take over Earth.” In reality, such plans of conquest are exceedingly unlikely, for one compelling reason. The anomalous airborne objects we have observed are so obviously of advanced technology, and have been visiting our planet for so long — quite possibly for centuries — that if their intention was to take possession of Earth, they could long since have done so.

This reasoning of course assumes that one can infer things about aliens’ thought processes from their observed behavior. Arguably this is a dubious assumption, since their minds may be as different from ours as ours are different from the brain of a housefly or an ant. It seems improbable though, that an alien race in need of a new home would wait for centuries before securing it, when they could so easily prevail.
