JS ... Your responses to Hank are interesting.

You don't think there would be serious ramifications to the discovery of alien visitations?

Can you explain why you have come to this conclusion?
I don't necessarily agree or disagree with it. I'm just asking because no one on the "opposition" side of the aisle ever explains the rationale behind that line of thinking. Usually the opposition dismisses and insults the supporters with little support for their own arguments. It's often the usual: "I know what I'm talking about and you don't" attitude.

I'd like to hear what you think.
I'm under the impression it would behoove the Powers that Be to suppress information like that given the public wouldn't (and didn't) take the mere suggestion of alien "invaders" very well. I would think it would be a public relations/safety issue and not up to any body of science to deride even in the face of great discovery.

I personally would be overwhelmingly pleased with such a revelation — but would everyone?
How could those in charge risk a wide spread panic such news may cause?

(An honest exploration into the subject — not some silly ploy to bait you. I don't have time for that.)
