We of the planet Earth, assume the Governments of our countries
are somewhat elected to serve our interests and safety. Those
in the United States are feeling more and more like pawns in a
board game, and have very little evidence to the exsistance of aliens.

Our views are filled with unjust stories of Government 'cover-ups' and
un-truths about flying saucers or aliens. In the United States
a group of beleivers have produced a website "www.freedomofinfo.org"
that is bent on opening and exposing documents and 'white-papers' that supposedly come from high official places, and contain some iformation of
secret projects and private projects.

Television is a powerful doorway for the hungry-minded watchers that
need to hear the latest news and gossip that surrounds their civilized
safe environment. In our homes, we sit in front of the TV and listen
to the daily news or watch our favorite movies, and in between; take
into a commercial or two. We are lead to believe everything we hear
and see on this magic box of moving pictures can be true or fantasy.

Truth and fiction can come in many different ways. We can watch a
drug commercial that tells us whats wrong with the way we feel, then tell
us how easy it is to fix it for one low price...just ask your doctor. Now,
I'm not saying this is all wrong, but it's just not right. Wether you
choose to beleive everything you hear and see (or read) is up to you,
and what you have to say or do about it, should be understood.

Understanding what you beleive is another part of the truth, and no
truth can be made beleiveable until everyone understands. What can't
be understood; is the truth behind the actions of others and what they
intend to do with it. Keeping secrets may infact; help or destroy lives.

We live our lives each day and goto school, work, and even church
on Sundays fearing power. Power is fear. It is this fear that can
change the way we conduct ourselves, it is the power that can change
our lives or even destroy it. Power by fear is what many use to control
our actions and lives. If there was no fear; we would not be here.

To say; "I am a God Fearing Man, and no one on this Earth can change
that" would be untrue, because I am afraid of what is on this Earth;
it is called a Human. To truely understand what is human; is scary; and as a human, I am afraid of what we do. Jesus Christ; was told to have given his life for our sins, and those sins are in our blood, and in our souls. Humans have proven to be dangerous. Humans cannot be trusted with absolute power.

To trust in ourselves is only the first step to being true to
our actions, but not without suffering will we appreciate the honest
truth to our being. Learning to accept the truth about our presence,
could only come from those that have the power and knowledge of what
and who we are, and what we can truely do.

If the truth to our exsistance lies in the past...then we must have
access to this truth. The truth we are wanting might be to much to handle, and may even ruin us. Ignorance is the only thing that keeps the truth from changing our current ways. To ignore the truth can keep many things safe. There is safety in religion, governement, and world societies, keeping us controled in a daily fashion, and hiding the truth from us; in order to continue our lives and theirs.

What if the future we have is already written, and the controlling powers are trying desperately to change it. With secret missle bases, bio-germ war plans, and military cover-ups in the news; no one has the chance to search for the real ultimate answer or age old question..."Is There Life Elsewhere?"

What if UFOs landed here years ago, and the aliens could'nt get back home? What if those aliens looked just like us, and had to blend or merge into
our civilization inorder to survive? Or maybe, some of them are time-travelers from our future and decided to live in the past instead of a polluted and crowded world.

In the scientific world; there are many formulas to finding the truth
or 'sum' of a question. What if the ultimate question; "Are We Alone In The Universe?", can be answered with a deffinate "NO". Would our civilization collapse, would people claim that the end is near, or would we accept the truth as part of an evolutionary welcoming?

Frank Drake; one of the pioneers for the S.E.T.I. Institute; has developed a formula to help solve the ultimate questionn...this formula is as follows:
"N" equals the number of intellegent civilizations within our galaxy.

(N = R * Fp * Ne * Fl * Fi * Fc / L)

"R" equals the number of Stars or "Suns"
"Fp" equals the fraction of Stars that have planets revolving around them, much like the ones in our own solar system (we have 9).
"Ne" equals number of planets that have "Earth-Like" characteristics
"Fl" equals the fraction of "Earth-Like" worlds with life on them.(life could be different from what are used to, but close to the form of a bug, insect, or just plant life...no intelegence as we know it)
"Fi" equals the fraction of Planets WITH intellegent life, but not the ability to comprehend or communicate with us or anyone else.
"Fc" equals the fraction of planets that have evolved into intellegent civilizations, and have the technology or ability to communicate.
"L" equals the longevity of a planet's society, and is the total age of their exsistance; in relation to the technology or sciences they developed.

With all the factors and numbers done and said, the total number of planets with intellegent life, and advanced societies that have survived their own exsistance is about; 50,000 (fifty thousand).
That's a very large number of neighbors! Out of the 50,000 civilizations capable of traveling in outer space, and finding or visiting our little planet; is about: 500, or 1% (one percent).

So, now we have an estimated number of legitimate claims to aliens or
UFO sightings and related phenomina...in theory. Science Fiction has increased our beleifes and acceptance in these "alien encounters", and used these figures as well. But there are those that refute the evidence and beleive that these are all fictional stories and that none of it is real, and we are only fooling ourselves.

Many people want to beleive; but there are those that say we are not ready, and beleive that our exsistance is set forth in some sort of cosmic evolutionary program. Some tend to beleive that we are part of a growing study for some other intellegence to look at; much like an 'ant-farm' is to a little boy with a collection of pets.

UFO sightings have been documented for hundreds; even thousands of years. The Myan civilization based their religious beleifes on a Holy Man with powers that decended from the heavens in a firery ship. The Egyptians etched years of history in cavern walls and in pyramids, and wrote of strange flying craft, men with strange red hair and 'cloned' similarities, then left in great balls of light that took them from the planet.

Throughout our modern history; and during each world war; pilots and service personel have mentioned and in some cases documented strange and misterious lights following their planes. These lights or craft have watched us through the years, and seem to have taken a possition of 'ghosts' throughout history.

The United States claimed; these lights were secret weapons from the Russians, and the Russians beleived that these were from the Germans, and the Germans beleived that they were from the United States. It was a real mystery to all of them during the war(s), and the governments all selected to hide the evidence in fear that they were possibly secret spy weapons with an advantage to win the war.

Since then, some countries have grownup and decided to put away their toys of destruction and concentrate on looking to heavens for answers, but what if the answers we are looking for cannot be seen, just heard. Will the truth to other lifeforms come from a radio signal transmitted through the heavens for us to find?

The answers are being worked out differently they days, and with the use of computers in our daily lives, we could get the results to the ultimate question, but it may not come in our lifetime. You can help by partaking in the ongoing research today; and you don't have to be a scientist or have your own building with tons of scentific equipment; you just need to have a computer, and an Internet connection.

The Search for ExtraTerestrial Intellegence Institute (SETI) can include you as a member of the growing enthusiests willing to set aside their time and computers as part of the whole question..."Is there life in outer space?" All the hardware and technology is already in place and a network has been constructed for all to share. You just have to signup, download a small portion of Radio Data, and let your computer 'de-code' it as a "screen-saver" while your away, or not using it.

The de-coded data is then sent back to the lab and added to the rest of the collection. Your computer then downloads another chunk of data to be de-coded, and the proccess starts all over again. Those that get the lucky bit of data into their computer; have the chance to be named as the one that found the evidence we have all been searching for.

Like mentioned, the truth may not come in our life time, or even not
at all...but one thing is clear, if it does come, we will be ready.
