UFO Origins
Over at AboutSeti, the ever-reliable Mac Tonnies has a thoughtful piece on our “alien” visitors, which suggests they may possibly originate closer to home - much closer, in fact.
As Mac says:
“Geneticists ridicule the notion that humans would be genetically compatible with extraterrestrials, comparing the effort to a person trying to successfully mate with an insect.
And although recent discoveries in transgenics allow radically disparate species to reproduce (albeit artificially), the notion that advanced aliens - presumably thousands of years more advanced than us - would rely on kidnapping unsuspecting humans to obtain genetic samples seems singularly clumsy.
“It’s more likely that a civilization capable of traveling between stars (or burrowing through space-time itself) would possess a knowledge of genetic engineering surpassing our own. Indeed, it’s tempting to speculate that a civilization only a few hundred years in advance of our own would have mastered the fundamentals of nanotechnology, rendering the need for “punch biopsies” and forcible semen extraction - let alone craft with portals and landing gear - obsolete.
“This leaves us to consider that the ‘aliens,’ instead of hailing from some distant star system, are in fact closely related to us and may originate much closer to home.”
And here’s the rest of Mac’s post.

Oh I finally get Mac Tonnies — he’s leveraging the stupidity of scientists. Very smooth. My M.O. has been “crank” or free online psych for scientists. But on my B.O. I’ve gone special-ops hydrogen sulfide style, bordering on Down Syndrome: doubles your strength, endurance and your long-term potentiation while relaxing your I.Q.

The problem with Mac’s argument is if the “visitors” are so technologically advanced, as they clearly are portrayed as being, then it would make no difference if they are from another solar system or our own planet Earth. The argument is the same in either case: they would have no reason to collect our genetic material, much less in such a primitive and technologically backwards manner. It would be a contradiction of facts. Clearly these beings, if we pretend they exist, have the capability to leave our solar system for greener pastures, so there is no logical reason for them to stay here with such a violent and barbaric society such as we have created for ourselves.
If the visitors intentions were to remain secretive, they have failed. If the visitors intentions were to collect human genetic material, if they haven’t done so in the last 50 years as they have been alleged to be doing, then they have failed that too. Every intention the visitors have been purported to have, they have failed to accomplish. Can’t the visitors do anything right? The visitors are plain and simple idiots — or more likely, the people who tell these UFO fairytale are plain and simple idiots. That would make more sense then any other hypothesis ever given. It would explain the complete and absolute lack of evidence, the contradictory testimonies, the alien pseudoscience, the poorly told tales, the poorly taken photos…everything. It wouldn’t require the denial of any facts or having to explain away any exceptions.
Years and years before there were any contactees or the modern abduction epidemic, there was mass media. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, in the modern abduction epidemic and contactee nonsense appeared in the movies and on TV. Is someone going to be stupid enough to blame the visitors for that too? The modern day UFO phenomenon is a modern myth much like the ever popular phenomenon of “the big one that got away”, told and retold by fishermen all over the world for thousands of years. Sure I caught a whopper…trust me…but too bad I can’t show you anything because it got away. Sure I saw a UFO or was abducted…trust me…but too bad I can’t show you anything because they got away. Sound familar?
