Full confession: I am a skeptic.

I want this to be true but no amount of testimony from people with fancy titles will move me until someone can address those two questions.

Why Here?

There are so many planets in the universe we have to use bullshit names for the numbers like sextrillion.

If every person on the planer represented an alien species out there, there are enough galaxies to give everyone a couple dozen each.

Given about a half trillion planets per galaxy that means us and every other life out there gets a couple TRILLION planets to play with.

So why here?.

The earth isnt that unique in terms of resources, our sector of the galaxy is pretty backwater.

So why here?.

“Cuz the signals” except the laws of physics are a harsh mistress.

Anyone peeking through a super telescope from the other side of the galaxy would still be seeing cave men.

maybe in 10,000 years or so as light starts hitting the distant reaches or in 25,000 years when light hits other galaxies someone will notice us,but why here?.

And why now?.

Universe is 27 billion years old.

Aliens could have swung by a billion years ago and recorded this as a volcano planet.

Or maybe a couple million years ago and taken a selfie with a dinosaur and gone on to explore the other trillion planets in the milky way.

So why here and why now?.

The only good explanation I have ever heard is either.

1) Future time travellers ala Fringe or Arrival.

They come from a future where they already know where Earth is so it makes sense for them to visit.

2) Pure random chance.

That is like finding a winning power ball ticket blown into your hand every single day for a year.

The odds of this are stupid big numbers I cant even type them out without losing track and giving up.

3) Theyve been here the whole time, but that still begs the question why are they slipping now?.

If they arent secretive we should be seeing em zip by all the time.

If they are secretive, how the hell would we spot them?.

The gulf in technology would be equivalent to cavemen trying to detect a high altitude U2 spy plane.

Sure maybe if an alien is drunk and smashes into a planet but that goes back to #2.

How does an alien find us among the trillions of other planets and not prepare properly?.

So Im open for answers.

IF aliens have been buzzing us since the 1950s, how the hell did they even find us?.

And why is this coming out now?.

Like the U-S isn't the only country watching the skies.

Something like this would require USA, USSR, Russia and China all to agree to keep it hush hush.

Millions of people across hundreds of country keeping a perfect secret, and these 3 nobodies spill the beans and everyone just shrugs and goes “oh well, they got us cuz of a Freedom of Info request.

Here: Because we are only a tiny little place in the Universe, but humankind is more important than we think.

We are sending to other dimensions, unknown to us, the most precious good in the Universe: Emotions.

Now: Because the different emotions we are sending to the Universe now from our little planet are so intense that it is time to know how important we are, and that means that it is time for us to rejoin the rest of humanities out there.
