Imagine, if you would, that time passes, during which more people
become interested in UFO's.  It becomes a fad or a craze.  There are
books, magazines, TV shows, clubs, get-togethers.  There are
experiments done worldwide, with differing methodologies, hoping to
make contact and communicate with aliens.  Then, one day, contact is
made.  The kind of contact, where a ship lands, aliens disembark, and
they meet a group of humans conducting an experiment.  Observers are
in place.  Sound and video equipment is recording.  The humans and
aliens attempt to communicate.  The aliens remain.  They dont re-enter
the ship and leave.  They stay.  Other humans come to the scene, the
next day, and the next day.  Headlines in the papers appear with
pictures.  Video is shown on worldwide television.  Humans are all
excited, because now we have finally made full contact.  Rudimentary
communication results in the aliens agreeing to return to the same
place, and more meetings with humans are engaged. 

In the above scenario, both believers and skeptics, realize their
goals.  The believers make contact and communicate.  The skeptics can
stand next to and touch an alien spacecraft, and an alien body. 

The most important part of the above scenario is the goal that the
humans had.  The goal was to make contact and communicate.  The goal
was NOT to have at their disposal and handling, a spacecraft and alien
bodies.  If you were an alien, which goal would more likely result in
YOU making full contact with a species on another world?

Sincerely,
to all people who are interested in the UFO phenomenon.
