Contact, again ! Quotes & [VIDEO]

"The U.S. Government hasn't maintained secrecy regarding UFOs. It's been leaking out all over the place. But the way it's been handled is by denial, by denying the truth of the documents that have leaked. By attempting to show them as fraudulent, as bogus of some sort. There has been a very large disinformation and misinformation effort around this whole area. And one must wonder, how better to hide something out in the open than just to say, 'It isn't there. You're deceiving yourself if you think this is true.' And yet, there it is right in front of you."

--CARL SAGAN, The Demon Haunted World, 1995

The energy requirements for interstellar travel are so great that it is inconceivable to me that any creatures piloting their ships across the vast depths of space would do so only in order to play games with us over a period of decades. If they want to make contact, they would make contact; if not, they would save their energy and go elsewhere.

--ISAAC ASIMOV, Is Anyone There?

How would it be if we discovered that aliens only stopped by earth to let their kids take a leak?

--JAY LENO, Tonight Show

Until they come to see us from their planet, I wait patiently. I hear them saying: Don't call us, we'll call you. --MARLENE DIETRICH, Venus, 1962
