The Truth is Out There

What if there really was another life form out there? Can we co-exist as they did in Night Lights? Night Lights assumed the aliens shared our propensity to curiosity. They recruited members of the human species to learn more about them. Of course, these recruits had to die in order to fulfill this event. Gone was the premise of disappearing from current life only to return at some future time without any real knowledge of where you'd been. Gone was the idea that you simply turned up missing because you were abducted.

All of this was replaced with being transported in life form after death. So much for the soul going to heaven, huh? Or, would we find ourselves being made into the image of the aliens as it is portrays on "Threshold?" I do like the premise that children are spared from the mutation of genes because of their youth. Otherwise, though, we have the age-old idea that people have to be just like us in order to be acceptable.

Wars have been fought over differences between people. These differences cause all kinds of problems on a daily basis. Why would aliens be any different? The existence of extra-terrestrial life might provide explanations for some things that have puzzled people throughout history, but I begin to wonder if we even really want to know. Then we have such things as Area 51 and government coverups. One thing leads to another...
