Hi James,

   That is very interesting. Can you tell me if this planet
is close enough to us for its people (if any) to have
reached the earth in say a few hundred years?
JR>       Biologists were not looking then but they are now, as

   What does that mean? What are you saying that biologists
are now "looking at", that is relevant here?
JR>      There is no hard evidence that aliens have ever
JR> visited the earth unless there is a conspiracy cover-up, and
JR> it is being shrouded from us.
  Since you sign yourself as an abductee then I really don't
follow your comment here?
JR>      There are indications that we have or are being
JR> visited by alien life-forms of a high intelligence based on
JR> reports which have a world wide source and a common similar
JR> description.
   Should I conclude from that that you "got a ride" in one
of those alien space craft or were you an abductee on some
earth bound vehicle?
JR>      The mathematical probability that life exists
JR> elsewhere is too great to be able to accept the statement
JR> that you quoted as being an absolute certainty.
   Did you do the mathematics or can you tell me who did and
how it was worked out?
JR>      I would suggest that you open your mind up a little
JR> and think about it, and in the end I'm sure that at least
JR> you will be forced into accepting it at least as a
JR> possibility. This at least will allow you more breaking
JR> distance if you are forced to slam on the brakes, when the
JR> driver in front of you stops to look at a UFO passing by
JR> over the highway. :-) Then, at least you will live to be
JR> able to see it yourself.
   Thanks for your advice.
Laurie
