Are we alone? Extraterrestrials, aliens, intelligent civilizations and UFO’s yet to be identified by human beings but staring down constantly and menacingly at the earthlings below have considerably robbed man of his peace and serenity. What could exactly be their next likely move is nobody’s guess but the issues though vague and gigantic are also abstract and cumbersome and quite capable of posing a dilemma to human beings on the question of life, universe and its security. Incidentally, at the present juncture man can hardly afford a star war by making good use of its razor sharp beams to annihilate the trespassers, since such a venture could jeopardize the impending plans and programs intended to explore the remaining planets or satellites as the case may be.
Obviously, a priority for earthlings in the immediate context would be to dispatch a census team with expertise in the field of assessing the numbers from far without so much as even revealing the intentions, strategies or the stockpile of available ammunitions. Needless to say the imminent or constant danger of a likely gatecrash by aliens on a peace loving human civilization safely tucked away in a far off planet called Earth looms large in the horizon. Would these extraterrestrials contemplate altering their course away from this dreary planet called Earth or will they shyly keep drifting off and on along far off skies to escape detection by human beings for many more centuries and keep the earthlings panicked for an indefinite period of time?
Weary of a monotonous life on a planet that opens up to a vista of infinite universe having complex dimensions and harboring as much myths and mysteries, unfolding unto an acutely measured finite intelligence, man is restless for innovation, excellence and an angelic perfection. He accepts the myths, mysteries and superficialities revolving around life and the endless domain of an infinite universe over which he alone has a deemed right to move around. Nevertheless, he senses the pinch of having to contain his intense curiosity within the periphery of a solar system which hardly matches the millions of galaxies and similar solar systems staring on to a miniature world consisting of few planets that give company to man’s abode namely the earth!
Held back possibly by human nature and the vastness of this endless universe, man has been creating mysteries for himself on the topic of alien civilization! In his eagerness to clinch that streak of innovation to life and aspects concerning the universe, man looks up for succor from divinity which eludes his imagination. Unable to obtain answers to puzzles engulfing his world of imagination, man resorts to floating rumors regarding alien civilization.
In effect, man is baffled by mysteries of mysterious dimension. Myths centered around UFO’s, extraterrestrial life, aliens, Bigfoot, abominable snowman, Sasquatch, loch ness monster, lake Champlain monster, Piltdown man, Roswell, Area 51, Antigravity aircraft, Crop circles, Bermuda Triangle and Life on Mars.
Wild guesses, imaginations, surmises, theories – they all go with the wind. The world is too large a force and human beings too finite a lot. There is therefore, no way to provide answers to scores of puzzles confronting humanity. Depending wholly or partly on Science alone is a futile bid to satisfy human curiosity. With a finite world of fanciful imaginations raking up much of what could best be left to the creator to provide answers and solutions is, time and again, making man a victim of his own hallucinations. Hence the only path left for human beings to set at naught the idiosyncrasies cascading copiously down in to a fortified citadel of human imaginations and conjectures is through guarded reasoning and divine inspiration!
Curiously though, human beings are apt at giving names, shapes and if required a blue-print as well to trace the course the aliens, extra-terrestrials or UFOs take to survey the earth’s crust. This adds a thrill to a totally monotonous life of adventures on an otherwise barren planet that is earth. Incidentally, depending totally on Science to prove the veracity and movements of ghost elements across the sky or the universe would be asking too much of a depleted archive that man notably possesses.
Obviously much of the theories and mammoth predictions regarding aliens and extraterrestrials hitherto fabricated, haunt man in to evading a direct access to these gigantic illusions for fear of a confrontation with a far more intelligent or better equipped beings. As such, man is prompted to exercise caution on the issue of aliens to avoid any likely potential that could devastate the Earth. Incidentally, much talk under gossip lingers on what might actually exist than less about what has fundamentally transpired through illusions and imaginations.
However, man is determined to unravel the mysteries through gossip and hearsay by keeping the intelligent beings aloof from contaminating the earth with destructive potential that could generate pernicious outcome to earthly beings. However, curiosity apart, man is constrained to adopt a wait and watch approach before plunging headlong in to a furnace of eruptive predicaments.
More than a human touch to the topic of ‘other worlds’ or ‘extraterrestrials’, the subject would need divine inspiration which is unlikely to meet its demand. Who then can provide succor to the intelligentsia of this inferior planet that could quell the overwhelming curiosity which intermittently captivates human beings and their reasoning? The latest trend by people and astrologers around is to explode views in the form of news that predictably enhances the fictional wisdom of both young and old. So came up a new topic to chew upon, namely ‘UFO’s’.
Even after many centuries of research and explorations, man has miserably failed to find even a single form of life within the immediate precincts of the solar system. The latest episodes relayed by the Rover instruments which landed on Mars on 6th August, 2012, being the closest planet from Earth, has dashed all hopes or arguments of finding life or life form on the planet and in its stead merely expect to obtain data on rocks and its sediments. However, up till now none of the probes have revealed the existence of life on the planet or likely inputs which could envisage the existence of life anywhere around the solar system, what to speak of intelligent beings.
Are we alone? This is one gigantic and immediate question which man has been grappling with ever since news and rumors got floated by individuals and groups, both reliable and unreliable, on the question of sightings of unidentified flying objects observed in the sky, to the utmost curiosity of sky-watchers and public alike. Ever since the revelation of UFOs came to be floated during the last couple of decades or so, allegedly by scientists, stargazers and even by curious people from different walks of life, this rare but fascinating phenomenon has captivated the minds of humans to a large extent. There has also been an extraordinary hype created by rumormongers who swear by their own life the veracity and appearance of such intelligent and extra terrestrial beings that are said to be much more advanced than the earthly humans.
All efforts to come in to contact with these alleged space-men or intelligent species have proved futile. Nevertheless, more and more people have started taking considerable interest in the fantasy of these made-to-look-like aliens and their alleged spaceships scanning the skies with a purpose hitherto unknown to their earthly neighbors. Instances of such recordings are, as of today, far less than the quantum of gossip. However, sightings of these mysterious objects date back to, it is so believed, as far back as the beginning of time – to put it more precisely – infinity, though this particular subject received publicity only till recently when newspapers started flashing news and accounts as confirmed by pilots, sky-watchers and space explorers.
Incidentally, despite much gossip and debates that follow rumors regarding UFO’s and extraterrestrials hovering in the skies and atmosphere over the earth, there have been no worthwhile inputs or convincing answers to the recurring question and phenomenon regarding aliens and intelligent civilization in the outer space. So bewildering is the flight of human imagination and stories gathering with gossip and rumors about spaceships reportedly having been spotted over empty locations and far off skies or even alleged soft landings at places away from human habitation that even those who expound the theory of UFOs and their likely intentions set about by beating round the bush, giving reference to mythology, religious beliefs or even fanning the very fire they cannot put out.
It is indeed difficult to fathom the existence of intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe but it would also be peevish on our part to underplay the possibility and existence of such images elsewhere, since humans are yet to traverse the length and breadth of the universe as of now. Moreover, even by admitting, in part, the movement of such extra-terrestrial beings within or without our solar system, it would be too early for one to conclude the exact nature of their intent and purpose, which should, in fact, caution man from going all out after these alien movements.
Due to poor visibility or on account of odd hours, it is believed that human eye or camera has not been able to capture the arrival and activities of these aliens or to detect the physical appearance of the extraterrestrials as alleged or their spaceship for correlating facts with incidents. However, one cannot discount the possibility and existence of such extra-terrestrials or their likely intent at keeping a low profile or maintaining a respectable distance away from earthlings since proximity to either of them is fraught with pernicious consequences.
However, what one might gather from the frequencies of such alien visits and related rumors on the part of earthlings is that either the world needs to stay awake to a new dawn of confrontation with a civilized lot or alternatively attach a wee bit of humor at the failed sequences of alien trips since last many centuries. Incidentally, it has added more monotony to the curious human beings for many decades now than less expenditure and fuel for the ill-planned trips that have resulted in unsuccessful itineraries and aborted attempts by visitors.
Nevertheless, looking to the immensity and vastness of the rumors floated and the intricacies of the hype involved, which in effect surpass human comprehension, one needs to anticipate some sort of a message from either the visitors above or the guests below that could either spin a thriller or allow the humans to gloat over an error to finally set the ill timed judgment on course. It is altogether another matter to be contemplated on the repercussions of a confrontation, whether the message comes from aliens above or the inquisitive human beings down below, the world definitely stands to lose if care is not taken to analyze the tidings so intended to be conveyed by visitors making shadowy depictions time and again.
This becomes all the more essential owing to the frequency of such alien visits or reports so emanating from the general public. Moreover, it is of utmost importance for man to get deeper into these mysterious appearances, if any, to set at naught the truth about these sightings or hearsays on UFOs, so that the world may be acquainted with the exact nature and intent of these mysterious sightings. One may also add that the more one delves into the issue, the more astonishing views of diverse people would confound the situation. One must not also lose sight of the fact that man is yet to reach out to heights and horizons away from the tiny solar system that he is in, so that allowing the imagination to float around or beyond the skies that wrap the solar system can only add a dimension or two to the present state of man’s finiteness. Incidentally, as of now the intermittent headlines in newspapers or gossip by rumor-mongers only go to confuse the situation, so much so media goes agog time and again with full-page write-ups on one or the other of such encounters and the ecstasy dies down after the news is read, more on account of the abstract nature of the news or due to man’s inability to verify such matters.
Whenever such news items appear in newspapers, people sit with their eyes glued to paper reading away passionately with puzzled eyes and avid minds in the hope of collecting as much information on the encounter as possible, but on reaching the bottom of the paper they realize that their knowledge is back to where it was when they first started reading the piece. Still, the interest does not die down and they await another piece of installment on a related topic! Do extra terrestrials really exist?
But sooth – can we really assure ourselves that no any form of life exists anywhere in the space?
UFO sightings date back to as far back as 1561. Despite much rumbling by people and elements humming on the same old topic of UFO sightings time and again, the alleged intelligent beings have not crossed over from space or planets for an interaction with the humans. If the UFO’s are genuine and real, then the aliens surely would have an intent or curiosity to check in to earth atmosphere for acquiring knowledge. In the absence of any conclusive evidence to establishing the existence of aliens as made out from time to time, It would seem a futile bid both on the part of earthlings to keep mounting a eerie suspense in the minds of human beings since it would hardly seem logic for alien or intelligent beings to appear and disappear after traversing for so many centuries all the length and breadth of the universe and after having crossed over from planets outside the solar system merely to view the Earth and return.
These intelligent beings – if they did exist – would surely have developed better techniques and attitude to interact with human beings or earthlings by now – say after more than 100 years to place at the least.
Moreover, aliens – even if they existed – would not wait for indefinite period in order to make contact with live beings across the universe since curiosity is everybody’s butter. However, for last many centuries stories of UFO sightings have remained merely in the minds of people without them making the first move for which they started on a sojourn.
Man talks big but breaths heavy on the impending doom the universe is destined to absorb within its stride. All the record of phenomenal successes and inventions hitherto attained by human beings would lose their steam once the universe gets rocked by the eternal doom that is bound to strike the universe sooner or later. Similar would also be the predicament of the aliens, if any, to have existed and become extinct without having achieved that for which they existed.
Incidentally, man is faking truth in to theories, illusions and imaginations. Theories are being cooked up to attain cheap fame, reputation and popularity. Theories of extraterrestrials are amazingly being blown up to suit imagination of finite beings, many of whom can hardly make both ends meet, but are mercilessly dragged in to gossip and myth at the cost of their own peril.
The greatest myth unfolded ever is the fact that man has survived for millions of years all in one piece, on a planet that hangs precariously suspended from nowhere, despite all odds staring at it. Dangers not from its core alone but from outer space as well. Is it therefore, possible to assume that a more intelligent being and an immensely better & sophisticated civilization make its appearance from nowhere at the very fag end of time and pace?
Has man assumed so much of significance as to ignore the hand of a super human power who would necessarily have wrought all the wonders of creation? Has man achieved the potential to spin theories of creation of an infinite universe of immense dimension and size merely by projecting a fanciful assumption?
Big Bang has all the ingredients of a remote myth and a bluff far more than a figment of imagination, where things are made to happen on its own for no specific reason at all.
Many crucial aspects of the ‘Big Bang’ theory advanced by Scientists and star gazers in order to explain away the formation of sun, stars and planets besides emergence of life on Earth have been debated for ages. Despite various arguments advanced in support of and against the Big Bang theory, there is no conclusive evidence to clear the air of the mysteries haunting human beings. Resultantly, the theory of big bang has been lying subsided with no definite clue to the origin of the universe and life.
Man has become an easy target for Scientists and star gazers to vaguely explain off the myth, mysteries and theories of evolution on earth.
Wild imagination of life and bacteria fossils as traced in the rocks alleged to have fallen from space is too superfluous an imagination and as much wild a claim vis-à-vis the truth of creation and the existence of the Almighty, since the same life forms or organisms could have as well been picked up from the earthen crust or atmosphere as well. Therefore, it is never a conclusive evidence to say that life form may have developed elsewhere on other planets or heavenly bodies and got transmitted to Earth.
Going by the Bible which alone proves to be the inspired text available to mankind, God Himself and personally created man without having recourse to an agent or angel to qualify His creation or add fins to His Omnipotence. If man does occupy a place of extreme proximity to Almighty and His Grace, as is the case, then he would surely have been acquainted with existence of other beings elsewhere in the universe, if not of his own, at least through spontaneity of divine good. This has never happened.
If we do accept Bible as the only Supreme and Holy Text inspired by God Himself, then we ought to also believe that, had there been intelligent or similar beings elsewhere in the universe, then such elements would not have merely kept flying about for amusement, rather they would surely have made contact with earthlings, which have not happened up till now. As such, it is best for human beings to allow the entire concept of UFO’s to rest within the archives of myth and mysteries.
What the present day generation ought to lament about is that, despite man arriving at the threshold of a golden twenty-first century era, he is yet to identify the unidentified flying objects that are taking him farther away from the real element, the sole cause or to put it precisely that common cause which alone has the potential to remove barriers and boundaries that separate man from man, society from society, nation from nation and world from the universe! That common cause which has the wherewithal to impart the much needed unity in diversity, spirituality in times of mistrust and peace at all times. His pace and haste are way apart from the common goal for which the universe came in to existence.
