right infront of you, they are there but dont interact with us, the just observe out of sight right under our noses. NASA hide the facts too, but ive seen an apollo 15 photo that they forgot to scrub clean what shows a large craft in space that is NOT ours

That cheeky imgur user has just reposted this article I read over a month ago

I thought it sounded familiar.
No, hang on, he has credited it as 'sauce' at the bottom.

Does make you wonder why we humans transmit so much radio noise out into the galaxy, and send out probes a la Voyager with precise data on our location and biophysical makeup.
I think its was Carl Sagan who pointed out that if you were to find yourself alone in the jungle, shouting out and drawing attention to yourself may not be the best survival strategy.
Wise words methinks.

If you liked that article try this one:

Well the thing is 'everybody' always seem to clear off when things start going wrong in your life. So to answer the question, either you have 'everybody' around you in which case you're doing well or they've cleared right off in which case you are left as close to on your own as possible.

I still chuckle at stuff from Douglas Adams and The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Zaphod Beeblebrox being given the mental torture of being told via a screen ... YOU ARE HERE.

I read that book. At the time I didn't know it was supposed to be a comedy. I just thought it was a weird sci-fi book.
