AN OPINION To the best of my knowledge, I have never seen a U.F.O, met an 'Alien', nor been abducted by them.   But, because I haven't seen them, there is no reason to conclude that they don't exist, nor that people have not been examined.  I have never actually seen the Loch Ness monster, but that does not preclude it's possible existence. The reams of 'Sighting Reports' and Abductee stories that I have read leave a few anomalies, contradictions and to date, unanswered questions. Observers claim to have seen little grey men, some four feet tall, walking about the countryside, usually in the dead of night, apparently unclothed and without any form of breathing apparatus, either unaware of, or unconcerned by the surveillance.  It is noteworthy that none of these observers carried a camera, or at least no photographs have, as yet, been published.  One point is consistent, post observation sketches depict a small humanoid figure, bi-pedal, with a relatively large bulbous cranium tapering to a pointed chin and large black stereoscopic eyes.  Reproductions of these sketches brought to my mind an illustration in a long out of print, obscure pulp science fiction magazine published in the late 1930's.  Abductees recount, in some detail, the various unpleasant, sometimes painful and embarrassing procedures visited upon their unresisting bodies.  None of them report any difficulty in breathing, nor did their kidnappers have any difficulty in breathing the ambient atmosphere either inside or outside of their vehicle.  Considering the millions of stars in the local galaxy and the potential of multi-millions of planets circling them, the odds that one of them being of a similar mass, therefore having a similar gravity to the planet Earth are quite acceptable.  The odds that such a planet would generate an oxygen, nitrogen atmosphere with the same partial pressures as that at sea level on earth and nurture a life form that so closely resemble the human being, are astronomical, but not impossible.  But why evolution on this postulated planet should follow so closely our own evolution is amazing.  After all, an erect bi-pedal skeleton is an engineering nightmare. All reported landings appear to take place in rural areas, presumably the visitors are of a higher intelligence and have no intention of subjecting themselves to the smog and pollution that is the lot of modern urban dwellers.  Or, that they have back-engineered our rather primitive communication methods and have watched the earthly way of life, degenerate from the gentle shows like 'Leave it to Beaver', Marcus Welby M.D.  and Mayberry R.D. into the contemporary, foul mouthed, pornographic violence that passes for entertainment.  Doubtless, on their way here, the E.T.V's will have watched one, or more, of Hollywood's ideas of How to Welcome an Alien, as their in flight movie.  A diet of mayhem and bloodshed that would hardly engender a feeling of confidence in the hearts of the spaceship's crew.  No sane ambassador would say, "Take me to your Leader" while looking down the muzzle of a 12 gauge shotgun, or an AK 47.  Should the visitors have the misfortune to fall into the hands of the paranoid Feds., they would surely disappear into the beaurocratic maw, never to be heard of again.  Their very existence be denied and then be subjected to 'interrogation', indignities and procedures unimagined by the abductees, all in the name of National Security. It is most unlikely that a species that can traverse light years of space would be naive or suicidal enough to make their presence known to a mob of intelligent apes who have clearly demonstrated that it's favourite sport is killing and general mayhem.  Be it by war, criminality, or by hunting less advantaged animals for sport.  For some time in the future, such contact as is made with ETV's will, without doubt, remain by chance or happenstance unless their vehicle has the bad luck to crash in a populated area and the crew can survive the primordial fears of the local inhabitants.
