Aliens coming to Earth?

I don't know if I've ever heard anybody discuss (And I have to admit I have not looked through this forum very far) this or even answer the question, but why would aliens come to Earth, why would they need to, if we can determine the composition of something thousands of light years away, and examine people, places, and things from many, many miles away, why should they be capable of travel but not a much higher level of observation than we? I sure as hell would make a visit to the planet i'm watching the very last option, and have the farthest and most efficient range without endangering anything, I mean abductions and Crop Circles are hardly parts of observation, and air samples, you don't need more than one or two every few years to get a good timetable, even those shouldn't have to happen often to get an idea of the latent properties of a given region.

To me those ideas don't add up, so I wonder if UFO's, or rather alien crafts in themselves as we know them now in the modern era are nothing more than some sort of tool, driven by an unknown state from this very rock. If terrorist acts staged by the state can get an Anti-Terror bill passed, perhaps there is a hidden agenda, what if it's all just a ploy to increase spending in a specific sort of research and development, blackmailing if you will.

Just brainstorming, work with me guys.

Hello.

Hey, my name is Nate, I use Ranim as identity mostly everywhere online so if you've seen me before, what's up?


Anyway, I was referenced here by somebody from within this forum through a discussion on UFO's and a guy named Gary McKinnon, maybe you guys know he is.

That aside I am a high school student (College prep sort of school if that changes anything) During my Freshmen to Junior, and over-all from then on I had done different sorts of research and discussions with quite a few people (One in particular, whom I did a majority of the research with was a discharged Intelligence Officer of some sort in the military that found things both horrific and amazing, but unfortunately is afraid to spill the beans ^I some times wonder if the things he had me go look for was his way of telling me^) who know a bit about UFO's and other things that are usually considered nonsense and garbage.

Unfortunately I can't site my sources (Well...maybe a few) like alot of you can because, of course, I had to juggle school work, and as always things are lost, and I am only human.

So uhh...hi. :surrender
