The collapse of religions, mass suicides, the collapse of governments?
What would the result be if, as I suspect, it [edit to avoid confusion] was generally believed that some highly advanced civilization - one completely beyond our reach or understanding in any technical or intellectual sense - is visiting our planet. Assume further that "they" are doing mysterious things for unknown reasons. Now, although I believe this could well be true [please see the new UFO Napster for highly compelling evidence from government files https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2805], I am not making the argument that this is true. I am asking for your thoughts on the implications if this were true, and if it were generally known..

I am wondering if all of you philosophy types agree with the conclusions of the government study from the late sixties. I can dig this up if needed and I forget the exact details for the moment, but basically, the conclusions reached were that if ET is here, and if people knew it, all sorts of horrible things would happen as indicated by the title of this thread. Considering that recent polls claim that more than half of all Americans believe ET is here, I wonder if any basis is found for these earlier conclusions. Perhaps the reality of ET would be a far cry from opinions expressed in random polls?
