[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 25300, member: 175144"] Back on topic Even if we were not alone, the present intelligence of our rulers in the 'civilised ' world, would make sure we would be the last to know. Dont forget that the laws of the country are designed to keep the minions in place, they are fabricated and perfected to ensure we all stay in line. Im not talking about simple taxes, criminal punishment, civil unrest etc etc, but the whole fabric of regulation - vehicle numberplates, Civil Aviation rules, tests and certificates for the individual for driving/flying. Imagine the trouble if one of our 'neighbours' dropped in to see us, buzzing Heathrow control tower, landing on the M25 during rush hour, parking up in the fast lane, and then contemplating meeting whoever was the first UK regulatory body to turn up. There would be no rules in place that would clear/control/impound an extraterrestrial vehicle (no number plate, tax disc, details of occupants on the system), no way of dealing with them except as illegal immigrants, certainly little way to check whether they were here for a holiday, on a visit of importance to humankind, or simply wishing to take over the world for its resources. No its going to be a long time yet before we see anything visiting this planet outside the cinema [/QUOTE]
