A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
The military are more than happy to let such matters as U F O have free reign, with some people willing to fake occurances, so that testing of new prototypes can continue in the manner that secret projects have been done for many years.

Television and films have thrived on "what might have been" scenarios, as can be seen from television series such as "The X Files". All good harmless fun, which should be treated as such.

I now await the follow-up to this thread appearing on the forum....about the deep and mysterious reasons why Crop Circles occur :D:D

Sounds like we are all doomed anyway :)

Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists

Rising greenhouse emissions could tip off aliens that we are a rapidly expanding threat, warns a report.

Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth's atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control – and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain.

Only Enterprise episodes that really stand out are the World War Two ones the the First Contact sequel. Although, I do love the characters. T'Pol in particular had some interesting development.

I liked the ones that tapped into the the original series, like the one which explained the different look of the Klingons, and the one with the scantily clad green women (ahem). They made the series feel far more like 'proper' Star Trek than some random sci fi show.

As an aside. I'm sure I had an alien encounter in 1999. I think there was also a conspiracy to cover it up. Here's the story:

I went to my local on a Sunday evening for my usual binge drinking session and lock in (I did this whenever I was on lates ona Monday, or had a rest day). After twelve pints of Flowers Original I left the pub at about 0200, and started to stagger home.

I felt a little tired and unsteady along the way, and paused in a bus shelter for a quick rest. The world started spinning, as though I'd been hit by some sort of alien ray, and I could see starnge lights passing before my eyes.

The next thing I knew, it was 0530, and I had a blinding headache, my wallet was missing, and I had a raging thirst. What had happened during those lost three hours? I reckon I was abducted, the aliens took my wallet for tests, and subjected me to scientific experimetns which caused my headache and dry mouth.

I reported this to the landlord of the boozer the next time I was there, and mysteriously, within a few months, the pub company had sold the premises to a property developer and it had been demolished to make way for luxury apartments. Clearly, the authorities did not want news of my experience passed around the pub, and took steps to ensure this could not happen.

I'm a bit worried about revealing this incident here, even though it's twelve years on. The security services may be monitoring this forum, and want to silence me...

I have no memory at all of that three and a half hours. Literally anything may have happened. perhaps I am an alien clone, and the real Greenback is being held on some alien planet, as a freak like exhibit in a zoo.

Looks like a seagull to me.

But I digress.....

The irony of being visited by other life-forms and UFOs from space, is that while just about everyone would expect them to come from the future, they are far more likely to come from the past - because of the scientific paradox of travelling back in time.

If other worlds were more developed than us, and had mastered forward time travel, we would be an example of the future for them. This must be pretty depressing for anyone having travelled all those light years to find billions of people crammed on a planet full of all the building blocks of life, but constantly killing each other in the name of their own chosen religion.
