And this being even "looks" human?...If this actually happened, I would follow that man. But, unless he literally looked like a human, I would constantly think he was some sort of alien with extraordinary powers. I'm agnostic though, not atheist. I know there's higher beings out there.

If an alien comes here I gotta believe it will be to extinguish or capture us. But that's a very humanistic way of thinking. Because that's what we'd do if we found a less fortunate planet than us that was suitable for habitation. Kind of like the Europeans going to Africa, or the Europeans going to the Americas. "Suitable land? And you can't defend against us coming here? Well then, we'll take it! Or...err, we'll "share" it with you to appease the hippies back on planet Earth. And as reparation we'll teach you a bunch of cool crap along the way.

I mean look at the age of the earth and the direction we're moving in. People are just starting to really care about the damage we're doing to our planet and the way we're treating other living beings. I'm talking about animal rights foundations and all that. Now looking at the age of the Universe, I don't think it's implausible to say that there could be a civilization a somewhere that is thousands of years older than us. I don't think it's a stretch to say they might be millions of years older than us. At that stage of evolution, I feel our race and anything on our planet would be completely insignificant. The stories are always about aliens coming here and wanting our "resources", what would an advanced race need trees or oil for? It seems far more likely that they'd either be harnessing the power of stars or that energy consumption would not be an issue for them (some form of renewable energy we can't comprehend I suppose). Same deal with using our planet to live on... seems like they would be able to build artificial planets before they decided to jack ours. I know it still sounds like crazy talk to most people. But I'm honestly starting to believe the theory that we've already been visited. I think any intelligent life that didn't originate on this planet would be capable of observing us without being detected.
