What If Aliens Are Watching Us?
Watch the discussion episode on this topic featuring world-renowned astrobiologist and President of METI (Messaging Extra-Terrestrial Life) Douglas Vakoch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fAgihenxcU
Do you ever feel like you’re being watched? Not by a creepy stalker, but by aliens. Yup, it might be happening. Just like we watch animals at the zoo, aliens may be out there watching us, like we’re the zoo animals. Why would they be doing this? Could they be afraid of us?

How could an advanced alien race learn from our technology if they're able to travel between stars if we can't even reach the outer solar system?

What if we are microscopic compared to aliens, no matter how developed a we are, we would never be able to communicate with an advanced alien form., yet the aliens would be able to observe us, as if we are observing micro organisms using a microscope.

They own created and own us.let alone watch us ..
We are their property
An mass scale experiment
We are the owny ones .
Millions of experiments have been and are being carried out
..using different species ( eg, lizards, insects, apes,etc) ,different planets and eras ..
We werent the first civilizations here on earth
Theres been a good few civilizations wiped our before us.
Theyve carried out many different experiments on this earth
..and on many other planets ..
If we start to go wrong, they have the power to wipe us out
.and start again.
All these ideas snd inventions weve had werent actually ours
Although they keep out the way,
..they intervene now and then , to give us a hand
..or speed our evolution along .
Eg. How to create fire, agriculture, grow corn etc
They even gave us an upgrade to become fully functioning stand up humans…
( thats the cause of the missing link in evolution history ).
Its been said lately that our time here on their earth is up.
Weve become too destructive , pollutting everythiing , greedy and toxic
They plan to take earth back at the end of this year .
Any nuclear weapons being launched by putin etc
..will be stopped…the non-beings have done this before .
They live deep under earths crust , deep under oceans , mountains, deserts and alaska etc ..
They hate being called aliens as they are not always from our of space
..they have real names , breed names .
There are over200 9ther species out their 8n space , on planets .
The ones that live here have our genes , so are actually advanced humans.
Hybrids are being mass bred and live amongst us here on surface..
They look much like us
The greyswholive under ground have huge eyes to see better in the dark
For over 75 years theyve been working with human government popes etc and military.
Doing trades and having agreements in place
Its well known the non-humans are controlling human life
…eg they are the illuminati , and the buck stops at them
They even control the royal families worldwide
They had permission from us to abduct citizens ( eisenhour ) for experiments and breeding hybrids etc
Whilst we receiveed knowlegde skills , materials and technology.
Even our phones , internet, nasa technology etc was all from them.
Without them, we wouldnt be in space or using digital technology etc
Tic tac is actually our scrafts created by what we learnt from them.
Sadly we let them down when we started using their technology
..for war reasons , to kill our own kind and destroy earth, animals etc .
Dont forget , earth and everything is theirs.
They hate our nuclear war heads and threats of world war
At one time they disconnected and stopped nuclear bombs being launched
They did this by telepathy and invisible abilities they have .
So if nuclear war is about to be launched….
..the non-beings will put a stop to it
This is what i think will happen within months or sooner..
This will bethe point the come to surface and take over completely.
Theyve been very reluctant to help us since we disobeyed them
..and been very careful with what else they give or teach us
So yes ,they are watching us all
..all the time …..
We are basically a human zoo
Sadly things are about to change completely
The end of this year will see life change like never before
They will be involved …
All l i can say is spend time withyour loved ones and be prepared .
Our time is coming to an end , sorry to say .

Just imagine aliens as handsome or beautiful than humans and we fall in love with them as soon as we see them. Don't make them scary looking ghosts like eyes and gray color skin in all portrayings. The word alien itself need to be refreshed. It's just old times imagination not suitable for new world which is interested in exploring the new worlds..

I think it’s more like the solar system is a nature preserve. Life on earth is allowed to evolve free of other galactic influences. Humans are not interesting enough to watch. Most humans aren’t captivated by termite mounds in the middle of an African nature preserve.

Awesome! Hope Aliens are studying us- Maybe I am one of them in another life and there species got destroyed by Nuclear War :(. Maybe I was sent here for a better life than life on MARS. PS. I have AUTISM So I do feel like I am from another planet.

There was a story about the nurse at the hospital who asked the alien from Roswell if it believes in God. And the response telepathically was we are the higher being.

a video named "what if…" that discusses the idea of aliens watching us from afar, without interferring with our usual nonsenses. Something about it all sounds… familiar.
