THE ALIEN'S GUIDE TO EARTH
If any of you have ever visited Earth, you probably have horror stories of sightings you've seen. Let us know below some of the insanities or oddities that you've observed and we'll publish them on this page.
1) "As the year 2000 approaches, we find the US government, full of self-importance, has turned the 'Bill of Rights' into nothing but words. 'Due process' is a thing of the past. Police are allowed to kick doors in, do on-the-spot searches and seize innocent people's property. Funny how their forefathers escaped to America to get away from all that!" - Anon
2) "Killing and murder was not allowed for normal citizens, but leading human beings all over the world sent men and woman secretly on 'operations', that basically meant killing other people; they had a sort of 'license to kill', and all they did was said to be done in the nation's interest, and the security of the country." - Deana
3) "I made the mistake of visiting Earth once and the day I realized I was surely in the wrong place was the day I heard some pompous idiot 'scientist' proclaiming that Earth was the only inhabited planet in the universe!!!! I was utterly amazed at the arrogance - especially in one so unworthy of such self-importance. It was kind of like listening to a Khalurian Dung-Worm proclaiming that it was the only creature of intelligence on Khalur. If only he knew the truth about Earth and why most self-respecting races won't have anything to do with it or even why it is so conspicuously absent from Gholdar's Galaxy Tours. What a dimmp!" - K'hraarn
4) "I seem to be the most 'advanced' of all of my friends and siblings. They think they understand everything that happens around them, but I seem to understand a lot more then they do. I can pick up on a person's feelings, or seem to be able to know almost what they are thinking. It seems that this has nothing to do with the people of Earth, except that there are some people who are more 'advanced' than others and I believe I am one of them." - Lizzy Lizard
5) "Earth Rocks!." - Name withheld
6) "I have observed a 'scientist' producing out of body experiences by whirling around in a centrifuge. He produced these oob's in himself and many pilots. His conclusion: his 'nervous system' exteriorized. Amazing." - eep
7) "Earth is terrible! I almost gagged when I got there because it was so polluted. They need to take care of their planet." - Froggo
8) "The way the humans treat their children is appalling. If they are not abusing them in some way, they are treating them as though the little ones lack basic intelligence. Then again, with the way their 'educational' (ha!) system works, it's a wonder any of them can even read. The adults, in an impressive show of ignorance, think that children only understand what you say to them if it is spoken in sacharine exaggerated tones. Truly depressing." - Lofn
9) "Why would anyone want to visit this 'Planet of Drug Addicts'? I certainly don't! What's amazing about this planet is the snobbery and class distinction amongst these drug addicts. The everyday person looks down on the takers of street drugs while they themselves are hooked on prescription and over the counter drugs as well as other drugs like caffeine, nicotine and alcohol (all of which are correctly listed as addictive drugs in Earth's Pharmaceutical Catalogs). And at the same time they promote 'being themselves' despite this obvious impossibility." - Slahnmru
10) "On one mission we passed near Earth and, curious, we came in for a closer observation. We were horrified to find that Earthlings treat themselves medically with the same stuff they use for warfare - radiation and 'chemotherapy' they call it. Their cancer drugs are poison chemicals and biological agents that they used in earlier forms of warfare. No wonder their bodies die so quickly!" - Mission Commander Ši¢ÿrï£
11) "I have discovered that the 'humans' are actually a servant race to the superior race 'dogs'. I have evidence because my crew and I have seen humans following dogs around and cleaning their waste! Also, the humans must always feed the dog when the dog wants to be fed! It signals the human with a 'bark'. Stupidly, the humans think that they are the masters! Ha Ha Ha!" - Jarith lo Soroth
12) "Bizarre and horridly cruel what some Earth people do to their offspring's bodies: male and female genital mutilation. They call it circumcision. So barbaric!!!!" - L. MacGregor
13) "As the Earth gets ready to inflict self-conflict with itself, we begin to understand the unimportance of rocket launchers." - IMCOOLL99
14) "Instead of living in harmony with the creatures on their planet, the 'Human' race goes around hunting, killing, and destroying other life-forms. They think they are so advanced and yet they kill species that are in truth more advanced than they." - Kahlan
15) "I have observed members of the breeder morph of the human species engaged in the most bizarre of activities. Chief among these is a primitive hierarchical competition wherein the Homo Sapiens (as they egotistically named themselves) individuals argue over who has the more effective sexual technique by sublimation into other activities, almost always more destructive than an actual contest to determine who had the better sexual technique would be. These contests have reached the point where they will annihilate hundreds of thousands of their own species to humiliate one individual who slighted them. They will also withhold medicine from each other on spurious grounds having to do with the fear that the taker of said medication will enjoy it. The humans are, as a collective, more vicious to each other than the Xlp are to them... even to the point where it becomes a tool for the Xlp to maintain dominance." - AWdidtrheeslsd
16) "My visit was at the end of the 20th century. I found a peculiar thing in their computer-net...Believe it or not they had assembled some pseudo-alien journal trying to describe in an air of irony their civilization...How could they possibly believe they could put in a frame the peculiarities of their civilization and label them "good" or "bad"... It was really an interesting experience." - yonderboy
17) "These people are obviously horribly evil. They go around killing each other and their environment with no thought for the respect of living things. It saddens me greatly to see such destruction." - Anon
18) "I've seen people actually kill someone with a gun on their TV and in their movies. What's sicker is there are actual people who capture children, torture them and then kill them. Then the best and most awful part is that they go and do it again and again...these humans apparently don't care enough for their own." - Pissedoffmother
19) "I was on a mission with my crew and we were passing the planet Earth and we were curious about it and landed in a park near a town. We went to look around and saw teens with guns and dressed funny shooting at young ones. Many were killed. We got back in our ship and flew to another part of the planet and saw on their movies what they do to aliens. We had seen enough and we flew back to space and continued on our mission." - Captain Na'toth
20) "My travel ranges through all the known universes and never have I seen a race so bent on destroying themselves and those around them. Not only do they chop down the very thing that gives them the air they breath, they also destroy animals essential to the delicate ecosystem that supports their very existence. Not to mention killing off each other and the overuse of every raw material on the planet." - Gaurdian
21) "I have found several peculiarities in the realm of this universe. One of my favorites is when a group of 'advanced' species gather together in a collective such as this and view a lesser-evolved species simply to feel better about themselves. I am sure that, if they had a choice, they would outgrow the same phase every race goes through much faster than time allows, yet the egotists who created this journal still hold the firm belief that they are somehow superior to the Homo Sapiens' race. I see the same flaws in this group as I see in them, but in the humans, I see a spark of courage that gives me much more respect for them than for cretins such as yourselves. I see a mother forego all laws of physics and lift one of their crashed vehicles to save her "offspring," as you would call it. I see men who risk their lives daily to save others, even if it is not the end for them. I see a race struggling against a torrential planet that gives them no break from earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanos, tsunamis, floods, and draught, and at the same time I see a race that advances beyond all others on the planet, even the ones sheltered by the oceans. I see curiosity - something I have not seen in great abundance anywhere in this motley crew. I see caring primates that have the power to love under the most horrible circumstances; to pick the good from the bad and cling to it to help them survive; to overcome all obstacles. I see a race that, should you even try to destroy them with your "advanced" technology, will fight back to the last man and might even win. Your cynicism does not reach me; I see the humans for what they are. I only wish other contributors to this page could be as understanding to the natural order as I am." - Dark Overseer Jorus C'baoth II
Editor's Note: If the above writer had read the Alien's Guide more thoroughly he would have seen that the Alien in fact agrees with and comments favorably upon many of this writer's points about the many noble points of humanity. It is only the truly bizarre aspects that have caused him such amazement.
22) "Can anyone answer this question? Why do earthlings think that they are the be-all and end-all of the universe, that they are the supreme beings, that they are alone in the universe? When they orbit around the most common type of star in the universe?" - loski
23) "I had to make an emergency landing on Earth in the year 1998 (Earth time) and I was shocked to find that young people held guns with consent from the government and the result of this was that younger and younger people kill others in a moment and the rotten-to-the-core government does nothing to stop this. - Kalania
24) "We made the mistake of going to that dreaded planet Earth. It was horrid. The death by hit and run was terrible. We came to a good park of the planet, or so we thought, but the pollution made me breathe so terribly that I barely could. We then got back in our ship and vowed never to return." - Captain Rikera
25) "I have observed that Earth people of the late 20th century are so intent upon destroying the planet that they will take actions previously avoided as soon as it is found that such actions are harmful. To wit: no sooner was styrofoam found to be harmful to the ozone layer, than one of their food outlets after another began encasing their sandwiches in it!! And saltine crackers, candy bars, and potato chips (some of the earth inhabitant's most popular foods) suddenly came wrapped in plastic, which never biodegrades, instead of waxed paper. Sometimes they listened to warnings from environmentalists for a while, like when gasoline prices forced them to drive more efficient vehicles, but as soon as their pocketbooks were not impacted as sharply, they soon backslid into their old destructive ways. Truly a paradoxical society." - Rana Pipiens
26) "Not all is evil on earth. Odd as it may be my elders spoke of a small number of humans who followed a prophet only known as the 44. They lived secluded lives shrouded in secrecy. Only these few humans knew truly how to exist in terrible times. They say his spirit still soars the universe but is hidden from the ignorant." - Children Of 44
27) "The pollution on Earth is taking and taken over. We as people have made it that way. The so called government is not really helpful. As many people know, Earth as the pollution planet. It is all true. The worst horror is all the pollution." - the cat
28) "Why is it that when a person becomes disabled and needs the very assistance that they paid for out of their wages, that our social security system is designed in such a way as to discourage any and all who come knocking at the very door to an institution that we paid for. We are treated like the worst criminals on Earth. We have to hire a lawyer just to get a few measly crumbs. Our government sucks. Why don't they consider it a penalty to become disabled or worse yet, an old person, and kill any and all who try to live a good quiet life and have given their all, only to be shot down. If you are not rich, you're worthless - at least that is the way this upside-down world thinks. You know and I'll tell you something, I'd rather be dead than left to the hands of these ingrates." - reddog1
29) "Earth must be the worst planet I have ever been to. I advise anyone who is thinking of going to go somewhere nicer such as Venus or Jupiter." - Frodo
30) "The beings upon this planet put too much bearing on physical beauty, hopefully soon they will realize that knowledge is the true power that prevails (example - William Gates)." - Vudi-Budi
31) "I have seen a politician recently discover 2 million more folks who needed to be informed that they don't need to pay for Medicaid, costing over a billion bucks, at $500/person. But that doesn't take into account the possible long-term suits when those Medicaid recipients think, "Why shouldn't I have gotten this $500 for the last 10 years?" Then there's the possibility of double and triple damages for governmental negligence in not informing Medicaid people about their 'just entitlements'. Ain't life grand?" - Mike
32) "Amazingly, some humans with more athletic bodies are paid unbelievable sums of money for playing "games" and letting other humans with less athletic ability watch them! While humans who are pure of spirit and soul are paid next to nothing and are actually discouraged from continuing to help their fellow man. It seems that athletic ability of their disposable bodies is valued higher than the purity of spirit. I hope they can get their priorities straight before they destroy themselves." - The Observer
33) "I have found that on Earth the only thing worthless is the deprivation of hearing others out when they have a right to speak and tell what's on their minds; but their society has come to conclude that if it isn't what they want to hear, then they refuse to listen." - GAROU666
34) "As a Member of The Galactic Preservation Guild, I must say that there are some good things about Earth. We took some samples from the planet in the late 20th century. Strange artisans who created something called "Music". One such human who called himself "Elvis" entertained us for our entire journey back to the Galactic Preservation Zoo. I still hum the tune "Veva Los Vee-Gus"." - WarpX
35) "I know no life source. Intelligent lifeforms still do not exist since our last visit 2000 Earth years ago." - Arthur the Plutonian
36) "One day I teleported myself to work from the Dorian Colony to the planet Zxuoj, a few thousand light-years away from Earth. Unfortunately, as I was teleporting, my pet jumped onto the control panel of the teleporter.... while I was in it, of course. To make a long story short, I ended up being stuck on the dirty, scientifically ignorant and politically corrupt planet of Earth. These sorry lifeforms live in a world that is so primitive, I could only laugh, despite my situation. In the end, I got off the planet using my pocket teleporter and made it to work on time. But I did learn a very important lesson...I live in a wonderfully advanced society; Thank goodness we don't live like those humans, and...Earth is not a place to take the family for vacation!!" - Jeeon-z'Aluke
37) "No oneness of mind or sharing of spirit here! Dominant species has failed to evolve sufficiently to experience time/space as a holistic event, thus they have developed cultures predicated upon their isolation from each other and the universe. Cultural and individual survival strategies reflect fear and paranoia imposed by the fact that they can only realize a singular moment and their individual consciousness. Future existence of this species and perhaps this planet hinges upon a collective rejection of the established values and mores that hinder the spiritual growth of individuals and societies and a paradigm shift towards universal consciousness that will lead them to an understanding of the true nature of the universe." - Qat
38) "I would have to say that my visit to Earth was the most unusual experience of my existence. These things I have observed during my visit: Humans do things that prevent themselves from doing things that matter. They have not completely grasped the fact that the things that are unseen, such as love, hope, faith, and other such eternals are actually the things that have substance and eternal worth. They worship tools such as money and hallucinations such as success and are slaves to such things that do not satisfy. They tell themselves they are happy this way. Most Humans spend their days running from their Creator. They think that they are a civilization which is alone on their planet, and that they are capable of directing lives that they believe are their own. They believe that they belong to themselves, and refuse to accept that they have been bought at a price. Pride is the great stumbling-block that prevents Humans from being the humble creatures they need to be in order to recognize and accept the forgiveness, love and assistance of their Creator. These things are all available from the Creator if only Humans will let themselves believe and trust. We on our planet have known for millennia that we were placed here by and for the Creator, and that nothing and no one is more important. We also humbly realise that our dependence on the Creator is not a weakness, but a strength. If you visit Earth, I strongly suggest that you visit our planet first, so that you may have a better sense of balanced perspective while you are on Earth. On a lighter note, I would certainly recommend food from what is called the northeastern region of the area of the United States, particularly food which is from the country of Italy." - Gratia
39) "Wherever Bill Clinton declares peace there is always a war. That is a documentable fact. Can we say 'ANTICHRIST'!" - The One who will free you all

The Earthlings compared to the Trandspods.
by: *SUNFLASH*
"These fulsh humans seem to think that they are the moase entelgent thing in their unifers. They know nothing. On my jurnyes in this 'Mlkie way' as the humans call it I have seen things mutch more entelgent. Like the pecaful entelgent enhabenths of Sram. It is in the farthest side from the center of this small galxie. The Sramens call them selfes TrandsPods. They know everything there is to know. Well all there is to know in this galxie, that is. They actuly are mutch more firndly. They spend their dayes eating, exercising, Talking with there felo Trandspods and sleping. The Earthlings are like this as I see it: Shelfhs, Low entelgents, Lazie, Ubsest with this Tlovishion thing, Rasest, Sexist, and dislike everyone but there selfes. The avrige earthling will ONLY live around 70 to 85 years, but some of them life to 101(usly the female). They go to this thing they like to call school to lurn? You or I would laph at what they call lurning. They 'lurn' so they can get jobs to get money. The earthling liks to be cald Human.They doen't evrn know the mening to the word peace. Well if they do they shure do not know how to make it! That's all I'm going to say about the Earthling.
The Sramian on the outher hand is piecaful. Ages very slow. The mail will live about 500 years, the female will live around 450-493 years. They spend their days relaxing They lurn all they can and all that there minds can hold. They are very tall compared to the earthling. They eat frute fegtables and outher plants. Sometimes on specal ocashions they will eat a spiecal food, made up of rock and seaweed. They are vegatearons, this is because they are alergic to meet. They like to go to their moon houses in the summer. They love to swim, run, jump and read. That is all I will say about the Sramian.
The Human and the Trampod would not get along. Under sertan standerts. They may get along under dirfent starterts." - SUNFLASH
41) "Would you believe that humans actually spend more time trying to make their physical appearance perfect (a futile act, I can tell you!) than they actually work. They fidget with the fuzz on their heads, a senseless act, they bother over the white, harder-than-bone teeth they have constantly, some actually have the medical professionals remove and change their noses to better suit their faces. I have noticed the females of this species bother with powders and oils, making themselves look more like oil paintings than living things. They sometimes starve themselves thinking that will make them thin, when in fact they are messing up their metabolism so badly, they begin to gain weight right away. It is apparent they have no knowledge of managing their metabolism at all. To close, I would like summarize what I have said. These human creatures waste too much time and what they call money on their appearance, when they should be working on their education and psychological development." - TheLadyofLinidae
42) "I believe this to be a planet of great potential, however they have a long way to go. One of the major problems I have witnessed is a closed-mindedness to diversity and peace. Also, Earthlings are in dire need of conserving and replenishing their resources. On a moral note, their religious beliefs vary widely, some way off track, others closer to reality. They have not yet experienced their last enlightening, as has already occurred on my planet. I would recommend visiting this planet in another 100 years, giving them time to develop further, assuming they survive that long. May the creative spirits be with them along their journey!" - J'lanna of Amaaza 1
43) "Earthlings have advanced extremely in technology but some of them seem to worship personal computers and live half of their lives on a network called the Internet The US government has done better than the other countries but a few more millennia should help them." - impaler
44) "There are some very strange laws on Earth, indeed:
A fellow was arrested for (allegedly) murdering his father as the man lay sleeping. A surveillance camera videotaped the shooting and there was other circumstantial evidence to show that the son coldbloodedly planned to kill the father for financial gain. (The son stood to inherit a substantial estate.) However, an autopsy showed that the bullets were not what killed the father. He was already dead from a heart attack at the time of the shooting. Since it is not a crime to shoot a dead body, the son was set free. The technical point is understandable, yet, as a whole, it is illogical. This man had murder in his heart and actually carried out the steps to effect the killing. Should he be let go amongst the rest of humankind, to possibly likewise prey upon them? ... free of retribution? Where are the ethics in that?" - Q £u¢ÿ
45) "Life on Earth is not meant to endure, unless the population progresses to such a state that they have freed themselves from vanity and have become a selfless and unified civilization. Regretfully, as we do not foresee this happening, we are forced to exterminate the entire planet, save those who maintain a prayerful attitude...and these will be taken with us and tutored in our ways. They will be molded to our likeness. In this manner, our kind will endure forever." - the Emags
46) "Many who visit the planet Earth come back with only horror stories. I have quite a different story to tell. I visited Earth and found many humans filled with compassion, love and caring for their fellow man. Many of them gave all of their extra money and time to those who were less fortunate than themselves. I also witnessed people rebuild communities that were not their own after storms and fires have destroyed them, all of this not for personal gain, only for the knowledge that they could make life a little easier for those in need. So I will tell you my friends that Earth is not just the bad, there is a lot of love, goodness and fellowship among Earthlings as well." - TWILA
47) "Last time I visited Earth it was still in the dark ages. Nothing changed, the apes are still not aware of Kra as far as I can scan." - Visitor
48) "I arrived on Earth on July 3rd, 1947. My host was the alien that was recovered and later deposited at an air base called Area 51. Between the years of 1947 and 1998, I have seen countless wars, numerous 'crises', and several catastrophic events (well, not exactly catastrophic, but they could've ended up that way). I agree with the author on most respects: while violent-natured and full of aggression, the Humans are a good race. They might not be the most intelligent...well, come to think of it, no one race is the most intelligent race in the universe. Anyway, their intelligence, or lack of, as is the case, has led to some remarkable discoveries that our scientists have only now made. Apparently, to end a war that the Humans had labelled World War 2, they dropped an "Atomic Bomb" on a city on the island of Japan known as Hiroshima. Now, the destructive power of the atomic weapon was known to us. What was not known was that the Humans had learned to harness that incredible rush of power and turn it into something beautiful: nuclear energy. Our race had gone from electricity right to power plants powered by dilithium-driven reactors. These Humans have art, music, love, all of the things that peaceful races have. And, may I remind the people of Colony City, that when our respective races were first coming into being, that we too were violent, sometimes worse than these Humans. I think that this race is going to do fine. Just give them time. Remember, we too were once as they." - franchurdy%$*#^*)
49) "As I sat rocking on my back porch, a large onion-shaped object flew by, over the house, beyond the wind vane and the new aluminum shingles. I jumped up, and, not knowing whether to grab my camera from inside the house or watch, I watched, of course. The craft wasn't glowing. I could only determine the shape from its rotating silhouette against the bright, deep blue night sky. It was as black as possible and it looked more like a hole in the sky, but it was close and larger than the house. The hair on my arms felt like it does before a thunderstorm, or maybe it was the sheer terror tingling through my body... Anyway, I did not move, I did not breathe, I don't think. I watched it head straight to hover over the back lane and then up into the sky it went. Suddenly a cock crew and I could hear the crickets again. They hadn't stirred for all of the 40 seconds or so the thing was there." - Khal
50) "Am I the only one that thinks it odd that someone with a legitimate health problem that relies on medication (insulin) would do better for themselves by committing a crime? On the outside world, they would either have to have insurance or do without if they cannot afford the medication, but if they go to prison for a crime, we, the taxpayers, PROVIDE them with this medication!" - Ric
51) "These humans who call themselves so advanced take great joy in 'solving' their pollution problem by dumping all their refuse and waste in space. Never have I seen such clutter around any planet and I strongly recommend anyone who goes there to enable their shields to full power before passing Mars in order to avoid flying rubbish. Anyone with a shield strength of 3.3.3q^s or under should stay well away from this dreadful planet." - qwerty@poiuy!#$%^&*()
52) "Most people I know seem not to believe in uncertainties. God will do everything for them. I'm sure some things must be certain such as evolution and progress with knowledge, but to believe that life is certain is the most foolish belief (aside from killing in the name of God) on this planet." - 82482
53) "The honest citizens are made to feel like criminals and criminals roam the streets freely, with no or little fear of the law. The "experts" have made excuses for everyone, they are not responsible for their actions. The government claims to know how to spend the people's money better than they themselves. By means of excessive taxes, more than half the money earned by people goes into government projects." - copig
54) "I have observed that the earth was destroyed by a stronger existence unimaginable to you aliens. The earthlings often referred to it as "God". When He created earth and the universe He left fingerprints during the process. The Bible. He sent his son Jesus Christ to come back. He took all the saved souls to a place called Heaven. But there weren't many. A lot of them were unsaved, unbelievers. Many of them believed in other gods but did not know that they were all forms of an evil being called Satan. He came in the forms of hate, Budah, mythical gods, Hinduism, witchcraft/wiccans, etc. Many more of a list too long for words. Some of these things did not seem evil, but they were because they leaned toward the theory of atheism or make-believe gods. Satan tricked them all and they were taken to a place called Hades/Hell." - apostle
55) "I came to Earth in the time of what the inhabitants call "The Roswell Incident". I died upon impact on the New Mexican desert. Well, who wouldn't. At those speeds, I'm still amazed my body didn't liquefy. This country's government was so surprised to find my ship, not to mention my corpse. My race bears an uncanny resemblance to humans. That's why the so-called alien autopsy film is fake. That's not my body. I should know. As time passed, I found a body to inhabit. I entered the newborn baby at a hospital in California. Since I'm stuck on this world, I've gotten pretty used to it. The humans aren't that bad. Some really need improvement, however. I find that some Earth-made products are quite good. Some of my favorites are chocolate, cigarettes, root beer, cheese cake, chocolate-chip cookies, Japanese food, pepperoni pizza, chicken strips, buffalo wings, jalapeno-flavored potato chips, science-fiction, comedy, "Weird" Al Yankovic, cheddar cheese, mozarella sticks, corn dogs, the internet, and many other things that would take too long to write down. All in all, if I do ever get to return to my home world, I will miss my substitute home. Another thing, some of the women on this orb are worth fighting for. I could name a few." - Skace Ipstar
56) "Blood...blood...blood...blood...blood...blood...blood everywhere. The cops going insane and the president just stood there doing nothing about all of the crime, rapes, and murders. It was a horror. I am lucky just to get of that planet alive." - Crockett
57) "I'm an ET visiting. I'm not the first nor the last. We have to make sure that "mankind" does not take their foibles, their illnesses and criminality to other celestial bodies. They've done enough harm so far with the space junk floating around that endangers our flights. I explain it all to those who would like to know why we don't reveal ourselves to humanity. The others would rather remain ignorant. It is a free world and ignorance is free, so they think. See my message that keeps evolving for obvious reasons at: http://www.dromadaire.com/perso/rogerm " - jarm@securenet.net
58) "Having spent some time on this backwater planet, I think that it is time that we intercede again as we did all those galactic cycles ago by hinting that maybe charting the stars and building pyramids was a good idea. It is perhaps time again for us to nudge them in the right direction before the experiment goes completely awry." - Tharg the mighty
59) "What confused the crew of my exploration ship was the fact that the majority of the population refuse to accept that they are not alone. They seem to accept the attitude that they are the sole custodians of intelligence. We tried to make planet contact at a location called "the United Nations" and our friendly overture was greeted by what they term as "ground to air defenses." These weapons that attacked us were not disclosed to the public as in existence. They were told (and blindly accepted) that the "Star Wars Defense System" was too expensive to continue the research. Yet we had to take evasive actions to avoid hull and system degradation. I advise that any truly intelligent species that comes close to this planet comes with the understanding that they could be attacked and taken prisoner, as did happen to one of our anthropology teams that I authorized for surface study at a location known as Roswell, New Mexico. Computer Log Closed: End Transmission." - Starman
60) "I noticed one funny thing when I parked my ship near an intersection in their paved strips (roads, I believe?). I saw one conveyance with many flashing lights (landing indicators?) that landed near one that was much more plainly decorated. I saw two uniformed humans approach the plainer conveyance and search it for its contents. The plainer conveyance, being rather shabbily maintained, had its rear cargo bay half-opened, and inside, was one of their expired "bodies". Dead, I think they call it. Yet - and this I only discovered by decoding one of their records of daily life (often called gazettes) - the discovery of this body was exempted from legal proceedings against the "live" occupants of the conveyance, because it was found "accidentally" in what the gazette termed "illegal search and seizure." Hence the two humans carrying this "dead body" escaped the consequences of their action in removing the life from this body. Huh! Nice place to visit but I sure as heck wouldn't want to LIVE here!" - Jinn
61) "In my opinion, Earth shall remain marked with the yellow quarantine warning. The last vestiges of the insanity virus remain here. May the Great Spirit forgive us and our ancestors for ever creating such a thing. We gave going native a new meaning." - Lorien
61) "It is just this absurdity and suffering that makes Earth art so beautiful. One can feel the depth of their despair and the pure stubbornness of their hope. The poets of this planet understand pain in a way that no being from a more "enlightened" planet has been able to do. Can you imagine a Preslaran writing "Oedipus Rex"? Could a Yinari have written their "Death March"? The artists of this planet know something that we do not and it merits closer study." - Arishourina
62) "We stopped there once on our way to Alpha Centauri to observe the earthlings and I can only say that if they hadn't already destroyed themselves as they did in 2035, it would have been the moral obligation of my people to the decent creatures of the planet to return and wipe out every human being on the face of the planet. They were without a doubt the largest waste of matter I have ever seen. We weep for the planet and the innocent creatures (the humans called them animals) that perished in the 2035 destruction." - Mr & Mrs Gort
63) "This planet Earth is a most backward one. So superficial are they, that they believe one of their own cannot comprehend a given bit of information based simply on their misconception of time. They will discredit anything said by someone they call "under aged" simply because this person is "13 years of age". This person would be considered a "child" no matter how advanced his thoughts may be. On the flip side, they mindlessly assume someone they call "33 years of age" knows what he's talking about because he's what they call an "Adult". The Adults commonly have a God complex, assuming they are better than the Children, and that the Children should mindlessly follow their instructions. Stupid creatures. Their "schools" are their biggest fallacy. They are so lazy that they require a "diploma", an entirely useless piece of paper supposedly indicating a given person's education. This thing called a diploma is optioned by mindlessly regurgitating the data spewed forth by "teachers" no matter how wrong the information may be. In schools Terrans are constantly encouraged to be themselves, be individuals, to think for themselves; however, as soon as they try to do anything of the sort, they are punished for doing so. I could catalog the shortcomings of man eternally, but to sum it all up: man is inherently self contradictory, and there is ultimately no hope for the race." - Robert
64) "Earthlings seemed on the brink of space exploration when, in the earth year 1969, they explored their moon. But obviously they must regress instead of progress as they have yet to go any farther. Poor idiotic farkners!! By the time they get anywhere, we will have claimed it all." - K'Mel of Qronos
65) "I concur wholeheartedly with your findings. Having spent some time amongst the "humans" of Earth, I have come to realize the source of a great deal of the misinformation which has kept them in the dark about their true selves. There are primarily three factions of power which have contributed to the belief systems being what they are ... Government, Religion, and Financial. In their effort to control any or all of these factions, the "powers that be" go to any and all lengths to suppress the truth and in so doing, maintain a strangle-hold on the public-at-large. Beginning with the earliest civilizations and on down through the ages the truth was hidden for fear of losing what control they were able to gain. Wars have been waged by these three power factions throughout Earth's history. If the people could only come to realize how their leaders have duped them into believing these wars to have meaning, when in fact, they were diversions to maintain the control. Fear is a great motivator and is used frequently to keep the faithless faithful and unquestioning." - Oubavasi
66) "Earth may be a bizarre and dangerous place, but it's well worth the risk to to get an optic orb full of what Earthlings call Females. They vary in appearance, but most have these zooty great looking pair of gelatinous fun bags attached to the front of their bodies. Be sure to ask before you touch if you fear Earth Authority enforcers. Your best strategy is to use something called "munny" to influence female compliance. Tell 'em Garblatz sent ya." - Garblatz Pervo drax
67) "It is strange how these humans fear computers. I arrived on earth in, I believe, 1996. Of course we had only planned it as an extremely short stop. But I was intrigued by the massive publicity being given to some sort of man-against-machine contest in a game called "Chess." Now chess, as far as I can tell, is a thoroughly pointless game but it seems to be thought of as a symbol of the workings of the human brain (and note, too, the word "brain" and not mind, for perhaps the human mind could play this game of chess more efficiently were these Earthlings free of the delusion of connectedness between the brain and the mind). In order to test their machines, they had a skill contest between the "World Champion of Chess," whose title was itself disputed - factions within even such a minor field of endeavor. The computer was known as Deep Blue, for reasons beyond me. I do not see how any of this should have had any significance to the race; for surely a computer designed for the specific purpose of beating this one man, this semi World Champion, could not be considered representative of other machines? I also understand that this machine had far more computing power than any other computer on earth, except perhaps those on my ship. And my datapad, for that matter. When this machine beat the man - I believe his name was Kasparov - there was much outrage and accusations of cheating and agonizing over the future of machines. And through it all it never occurred to them that a machine cannot rebel if you simply program it with a desire to be owned... foolish humans, indeed." - Ni'juboje'ch
68) "I've spent over 254,000 hours on earth. I have seen most of the good and bad things stated within this archive. I believe one of Earth's biggest problems is the human. More realistically, the problem is the human. The humans are divided by factors individually, spiritually, and politically. In a place I remember called America, the humans were empowered to see and change so many of the things that now are destroying them."All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke. Words of a human I've repeated many times. Earth is now entering their "Era of Information". I wonder if the humans of very powerful America will organize and then start to change things. I send to them a start point: http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/" - Youme
69) "Those beings are not civilised. Instead of having a superior being or the most brilliant of their species declared ruler, they vote on a member of a sub-class of "humanity" called "politicians" as their leaders. This sub-species appears to be motivated by greed, not the betterment of the species, as their motivation for wanting to rule." - Disgusted Traveler

71) "Gwert deet oot brunf vroogat! (translation: "The bathrooms were very clean!")" - Bob
72) "I find Earth to be a silly little burg of a planet. The species called "humans" are truly a lark. They are idiotically vain evolutionary throwbacks that think they are the most important species on the planet. The foundation of these beliefs seems to lie in the fact that they can (and do) kill other species very easily and with little remorse, and that they are "advanced" enough to destroy their very home with an insatiable lust for commodities. I find it most ironic that a large portion of the dominant culture finds it interesting to contemplate space and other planets with other races referred to as "aliens". They cannot yet communicate with other species of their own planet and yet the greatest dreamers are preoccupied with incredibly "human" like space creatures. I find this whole planet very amusing, yet sometimes frightening. What if they do find the way out of their solar system someday? With the immense appetite for violence and self centeredness they seem to possess, I am very glad that they are 6000 times smaller than us!" - SadKitty
73) "If the peoples of Earth do not succeed in destroying themselves, they will soon be a force powerful enough to give all other sentient beings cause for alarm. BEWARE!" - Xuthru Kree (of the species Urlik)
74) "The people there seem to be very into the self-importance thing. They have motion pictures, where in practically all of the ones dealing with encountering species from other planets, they are 'on the good side', and even if they have 'good' aliens, as it were, the 'bad guys' were either another race of aliens, a small but effective secret agency of Earth, or a small but effective agency of another species. I was very appalled at the 'movie' Independence Day. Some of you may know, and those who don't, it was about aliens that went from planet to planet, just eliminating races, then using all the resources on the planet 'like locusts' (to quote from a scene in the 'movie') and the earthlings were the ones who stopped the entire race - probably (hah) - from destroying their planet!!! They fixed a ship that had been out of use for fifty years - assuming they could, since the difference between the two races' technology would have been so vast!!! The poor fools. I feel sorry for them, a little. (A little.)" - Psycho
75) "Well, I was there in the 1990's and in 1999 there was a 'conflict' going on and a province called Kosovo wanted to become separated from it's country or something - I'm having a hard time remembering things today - and a country called the United States of America sent over primitive, yet effective, forces. The man from the country Kosovo wanted a 'a little elbow room' - one of their phrases, if you will, to prove my point - and would still not back down!!! The idiocy of it all!!!" - Psycho
76) "Get This! They read "books" and watch "movies" about murders and torturing and other "inhumane" acts. With me so far? Then imprison those who commit the crimes and totally forget that their "entertainment" had a creator and He/She is out walking the streets. P.S. Don't even look at their "entertainment." For the most part it's horrific!!" - Nerinika
77) "As the Galactic Council First Contact Minister, I had occasion to visit this quigla of a planet in 24965.65 (2034 Earth Time), while responding to an Universal Emergency Code. It is on my honor to report that diplomatic contact was successfully established with the planet's sole intelligent beings. After reviewing the savageness of the planet's dominant life form, refugee status was granted to the Earthlings and their entire population were promptly relocated to Janntkl IV, a hydrogen Oxide planetoid. Unfortunately, all other life forms on the planet were not able to be saved before the Planetary Implosion occurred. A true shame indeed, since the planet contained an interesting mixture of flora and fauna. However, I am happy to report that the Earthlings are prospering on their new world. Their population has since tripled in numbers and the Transitional Quarantine is being lifted as of today. All Galactic Citizens can now freely visit with the Earthlings and immerse themselves in a truly civilized culture of oral history, prose, music, and playfulness. The Galactic Education Council has established a floating Contact Center in the Southern oceans of the planetoid, complete with ample landing facilities, lodgings, and Aquatic Rental Centres for facilitating your visits. Specialized Earthlings will be available for Historical Narratives, Planetoidal Tours, and Deep Species Immersions to open up this very special way of living to the rest of life. Come join myself and Podstir Dolfin SUEXHSHJAHKQ on Janntkl IV and celebrate the true beauty and uniqueness saved from a lost world!" - Galactic Council Fist Contact Minister, Qayshbal Kajqoaannjak
78) "You know, as a fellow traveller, I have noticed that amphibians get very little attention on this "earth" planet. Why is that? We are a very underrated species and personally...I am getting quite resentful of that fact. Why the arrogance of it all to think that all life forms must appear to be biped and humanoid. Hummph, I really think that this is racist..nay...specie-ist in nature. Certain interplanetary grants should not be given to planets that engage in this exclusionary practice. I don't like being left out just because my skin is a mottled green, brown, and purple hue. I just don't like it!" - Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
79) "I notice that on this strange island "earth'" there happens to be a peculiar type of flora called amaryllis. It promised to deliver huge, monstrous outputs of colored material. I procured three of them. These so-called producers delivered long green stems but no massive colored material. Bah-humbug! (I heard that from a wandering explorer) I think I have been taken by one of these earth creatures. I am flooded with urea ("pissed" is what one of the humans called it). I am still not well versed with some of these archaic terms. Oddly enough, I'd like to receive some sort of massively blooming colored material with which to take to my home planet of Rediculas. Are there any travellers out there who ever heard of "amaryllis?"" - Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
80) "In response to fellow traveller, Name Withheld (of Plutonian origin,I presume), I have also observed that earth rocks are gneiss, but some are just plain schist." - Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
81) "I'm trapped here on Earth. Please, come take me away!" - Krill
82) "Earth, although greatly misguided, has it's good points. I do not wish to go into detail, as most of the experiences are personal from a past life (yes, I used to live there!). Many beautiful things exist (or did exist), but there are also the many horrid things too...(too many to name). And that is all." - Apples
83) "Another oddity is the human practice called "dieting" in which the person deliberately tries to starve himself. The first three letters of the word "Diet" are "DIE". And then when the successful starvation works, the diet is declared a success." - davidy
84) "It's not that humans LIKE to litter or to use money, we can't help it. The bare necessities needed to live, food shelter, and clothing have been reduced to one thing: money. We need money for all these things don't we? In this case we can't just stop using it, or we'll die. We're forced to use it. This creates selfishness and and is why people kill and steal and hate, for money, but sometimes they depend on this so much it becomes a living. It seems that humans are just self absorbed and lazy. People blame the government, but the government is so small, they act like the government should do everything for them. People will complain about it but not do anything about it. And the government does the same thing, complains about the public and doesn't do anything about it, after all they're just human too. People don't litter unless they create the waste. Since only manufacturers do this we can't help it, we just eat it then dispose of it, and since there isn't really a designated trash disposal area on this planet, putting it in the garbage dump is still littering. As well, many people also complain about the trash and the pollution when they don't do anything about it. I'm sure they'll still drive to work in the morning creating smog, and eat their lunch throwing away the wrapper. Then again there isn't much we can do about it, is there. Even if we write a letter, they'll be lazy and ignore it, they are human after all. Since humans were created to think individually, that's all they will do. Doing things only for themselves, sometimes thinking it's for others, complaining about things and not doing anything about it themselves. When people complain, they are probably complaining about something they are doing, and not knowing it. People will hate killers when the only reason they kill is because they hate. Hate is something we should get rid of, it adds to the vicious circle we live in. The humans do have beautiful characteristics though. Love, friendship, music, art. All of these are very distinct and unite humans even during horrible times. But most humans only seem to notice these attributes during horrible times. The human species is a magnificent one, but is stuck in its own self-awareness. The only way out is if all humans, complainers, haters, politicians, do-ers, all of them, simultaneously realize what condition we and the earth are in and decide to help each other out and not themselves, to live for others and not themselves, this way others would live for them." - Darian
85) "Unlike everyone else, my parents hid from bounty hunters and took me away from Cybertown and to earth when I was just a baby. They were killed by the bounty hunters but I luckily escaped. I lived among earth... many a year. I can tell you, don't live there. The pollution, the race of humans, terrible. They only destroy themselves. Before I left finally to return, they were talking about this Y2K bug. This will only probably last a few hours but these humans are stocking up on supplies for no reason! I glad I left earth but I landed at Colony City instead of Cybertown! Luckily Cybertown and Colony City merged... and rose is now back!" - RoseRulz3
86) "Earth has a confusing educational system. The youth are instructed to educate themselves so they may join a system where they do not use their brains but instead focus on single mind numbing activities which devalue all education. Those who do pursue knowledge for the sake of interest or research are belittled for their efforts and are constantly pushed towards earning an income for a corporate structure." - loki's older brother
87) "On my stop to earth I was listening to their very "screwed" radio when this man or woman came on claiming to be an unbeliever in the man called christ. I was shocked to learn this man was a cross dressing musician called marilyn manson getting his fame from a murder and a movie star. Weird, huh? Well,l after listening to one of his songs called ummmmm "the beautiful people" I was ashamed to admit this guy must be the smartest man on earth. He believed in family values and believed in second life. I was astounded that many did not like him because of his anti-christ belief. This man must be some sort of god. I brought this "marilyn manson" back home and made him look like us with "boobs" and red hair. His next music release was even better with god is in the tv." - Boris smirnoff of the Russo-earth alliance

89) "Having been there ourselves it's good to see that the universe still proceeds at its own rate. Looking at our own worldly pasts I am very pleased to see that we were received before the point of no return. We have contributed to the research of many other "Artifacts" that were not absorbed before their destruction. Those situations were so much sadder than the situation one finds on this little jewel of a planet. It was refreshing to see that with their individual problems and juvenile attitudes they still continued to reach out and work to discover the truth that we of the older races have known for millenium. It is good to have them as our newest cousins. May our judgement continue to be as gentle as that of the races that found us so very long ago. We must as conscious citizens of the universe continue to help them grow and heal." - DaBlindOne-youseemorew/outeyes
90) "I'll share with you, fellow travellers, a most peculiar oddity encountered on this Island earth (at least, for me). As I was communicating with a member of a reigning humanoid male/half species of the planet, I became aware that this egotistical puff of biological DNA thought that I was experiencing emotions vicariously through him. Again, I was bathed in urea (translation: pissed - a quaint yet apt Human earth term). Imagine the nerve, the unmitigated gall ( I am not quite sure what gall is since Rediculassians don't have such organs. We do have nice crops, though), The hubris!!! Well, after turning a high neon purple, I really let him have it with neon purple spit blob. That, I realize, is not the Rediculas way but it certainly was the human way. I suppose many of you think that that statement is a heinous rationalization but I just can't help it. This insanity is getting to my Rediculassian roots. Now I am being Rediculas." - Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
91) "Another unusual oddity encountered today (in the year 2001, of course) is that I made a grave grammatical error in expressing my previous experience with a puff of egotistical biological DNA male/half species. What I meant to say is that I became aware that this thoroughly egotistical puff of biological DNA thought that I was experiencing emotions vicariously through him. I hope (yes...we do have that emotion on Rediculas, too) that this clears up any psychological misadventures I may have raised unintentionally." - Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
92) "A very odd transmission has come to me from a traveller of unknown origins (again, I'm guessing Plutonian). The transmission poses a very peculiar question, if you will. The question is "why do gorillas have such big fingers?" The very, very peculiar response is "because they have big nostrils." I do not receive it (translation: don't get it - another quaint but useful human earth term). What is a gorilla? Is this a big human? Redicullans want to know!" - Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
93) "When we arrived on earth we found a world full of contradictions. Governments that can do things normal citizens would be jailed for and people being punished with the very things they are getting punished for. It was a world where everything was upside down... substances used for war being used as medicine and power... and almost anyone can get weapons ~ even the offspring! A species like this is bound to destroy itself sooner or later... I just hope it doesn't take the rest of us with it!" - Zarconia
94) "i have observed the earth as i had to go on a mission. my species is dying out and we have got to reproduce fast. so i have settled down here in belgium for the past 21 years but i met this really cute girl in the us thru this ancient device called the net. anyway by this way i just want to say jana i love you with all my heart." - ufokoen
95) "I started my extended visit to this world you refer to as "Earth" when my passage was approved by the entity visitation bureau and my essence was inserted into a zygote. My travel agent assured me I would experience the planet in a most satisfying manner. It has been a trying and primitive experience, to be sure. It took many many planetary cycles to learn how to operate these flesh-bag conveyances, to utilize the limited and often faulty sensor apparatus, to coordinate motion as to propel the flesh conveyance in a desired direction, to manipulate the object-handling protuberances. Most hideous and difficult was to learn to ingest matter derived from other inhabitants of the globe in order to fuel the flesh conveyance, and then, once the inefficient chemical factory had extracted what energy it could, to learn to excrete the waste material in a manner that was mutually acceptable to the other beings in my immediate social grouping.
I do have to give these beings credit for their tireless and patient assistance in the arduous learning process. They have no doubt extended their own sojourn well past the usual visitation length, because they were (and still are) fascinated by this particular mode of existence, and I believe are just a little curious as to how my own vacation will progress.
At first, it was very difficult to discern the "natives" from the "visitors". I blame myself fully, and that on the obsession with the operation of the flesh conveyance. It provides feedback in many pleasurable and also painful modes. It is also very distracting with torrents of information requiring immediate attention. Now that I have the basic functions well in hand, and I do not have to devote any conscious thought to managing all the cellular and chemical functions, I can be more aware of my fellow visitors, and we gather together now and again to compare experiences, to enjoy each other's beingness, and to play with each other in our flesh conveyances, and see what kind of new stimulations we can experience.
I watch the native inhabitants with amused sadness, for the most part. They move throughout this particular existence as if in a dream, sleeping. I wonder if they wake up before the ride is over. I cannot fault the natives too much. They really are endeavoring with very very primitive tools. They do seem to understand that to survive as flesh conveyances, they will have to learn to live away from the planet that caused these particular chemical factories to be created, before their stellar furnace ages and swallows up the whole thing. I wish them luck in their progress that they can figure it out before some random cosmic event makes their cradle unmanageable for such complex aggregates of cells to function, and they must rebuild.
As my visit progresses, I am noticing failure in the flesh conveyance; the sensory apparatus is not as efficient, and the cumulative poisons and stresses placed upon it by me and the local environment have caused it operate less and less efficiently over the cycles. But I had been treating it as many beings do when borrowing equipment. I now realize that if I intend to extend my sojourn here, I must take better care of my conveyance, and treat the chemical factory with the respect such complex machinery deserves. There is a new visitor to this place that I am teaching the complex social rules of our immediate society, and I am curious how this being's sojourn on this planet will turn out. So I would like to extend my stay as long as I can." - wendru the intergalactic traveller
96) "I have been to earth!! It's ghastly!! They actually insist that humans suffering and or dying continue to do so. They even punish the ones trying to end their suffering and call them criminals, while animals that suffer are put out of their misery!! Stay away at all costs!!" - NEO
97) "It's crazy on earth. The only ones there that really understand things are the animals and the children. As they grow up they seem to forget what is true, probably because of these things they call schools. These are large boxes that the children are shut in for up to 9 hours. The animals are treated as objects that can just be thrown away, and some are hunted for game. Even people hunt each other, for fun!!! I want everyone to know, DO NOT EVER TRAVEL TO THIS PLANET!!!!" - Uinco
98) "Some nice work going on here. Their mythos is crippled, but some trends are developing nicely. Hopefully the seeds are formed before the cultures devolve into fertilizer. If it didn't seem odd it wouldn't be true."
99) "Things you should know about Earthlings when visiting Earth:
- They tend to be quite shortsighted: the Y2K problem had to be solved in just two years.You'd think they would have seen it coming: they had 2000 years to prepare!
- Their natural resources aren't used to their full capacity. If we had something like the Grand Canyon we would use it as the ideal landfill.
- For some reason they like something they call music. They actually think modulated soundwaves played in certain sequences may be used as an interplanetary language.
- The fact that an interplanetary 'music' language can't work is illustrated by the thousands of languages and dialects spoken on Earth. Most 'music' is even accompanied by spoken words to clarify the meaning. Why don't they just learn how to read minds?
- Never ever reveal yourself as an alien. They are quite obsessed with the idea of dangerous strangers. They are even wary of humans and groups of humans they don't know; they call this concept racism. So imagine how they'd react if they'd know if you weren't an Earthling.
- The only thing that reminded me of home was this television program called 'The Jerry Springer Show'."

100) "As I enter my next log notation (in the earth year 3510, of course), I remembered my egotistical biological puff of male/half DNA. Upon revisitation, it has evolved into several different appendages. No wonder it felt that others were experiencing varied emotions through it. It had none of its own! However it did do something remarkable. The appendages developed vocal organs which spoke! They said that they were ready to "rumble". I replied that I was not. I would rather spin. Perhaps in the year 3605 they may be able to think, but this is debatable because "rumbling" half/male DNA puffs usually only eliminate waste material that their symbiotic life forms ( bacteria, I think) devour. They then speak at considerable length upon the matter. Humans call this habit "bullshitting". What bulls have to do with this, I do not comprehend. Are bulls human? Or are they just a lot of bull? Furthermore, I am perplexed. I am amphibian, but do I and my kind have the ability to "bullshit" too? I will post my findings in the next log entry as I don't wish to "bullshit" too much." - Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
101) "Today (in the year 6025, of course) I have discovered that my colloidial tibia joints hurt. I don't like getting older, but being alive on this strange planet makes it worth being alive, even if in some pain. It's fun to see how life is playing itself out here. Some of the amphibians are getting the upper hand even if they are a motley green. I, myself am a beautiful combination of purple, lime green and yellow. But that, unfortunately, is due to old age." - Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
102) "Hello, Rose here. I have enjoyed my stay in my beloved Cybertown. However, after the 6 months I have spent in Cybertown, I miss my earthling friends. One of them refuses to come because once he came, he got attacked by some hoodlums, probably Morphs. Anyways, I still don't know my alien form. If anyone out there knows this... tell me. I'm lost..." ~ RoseRulz3
103) "It seems to me that one of the most important things to some humans, is what they call "Religion." Religion seems to be the leading cause of wars on this pitiful planet. People kill other people because they have a different religion. Although there are many different religions on Earth, there is one that particularly sickens me. It is known as Christianity. Some of its followers devote their entire lives to worshiping one man and a god. There are some who follow this religion so closely, that they condemn others simply for looking different, or not believing the same things that they do. Also, according to their "writings of god", any people who do not follow the way of a man named Jesus Christ will spend an eternity being tormented when they die. To me, that means that millions of people will be condemned to a place called "Hell." According to the "Bible," as they call it, the entire human race was spawned by two people, even though scientists have proven that that would cause severe birth defects. Even though their religion forbids murder, some people still murder others who they believe are "unholy." I now close my report with a message to all humankind: Religion is a good thing, but think about it before you become too wrapped up in your beliefs." ~ Anon
104) "I have noticed some very corrupt happenings on this planet. If a fellow human being lays blame on another and swears that he did something outrageous, the law will believe the person making the accusation, no matter what the evidence shows. The "law" is for the accused person to be guilty until proven innocent." ~ Fubu
105) "In response to 'Anon' who wrote about how "Due Process" is a thing of the past - I say you are absolutely right. The US Government has shunned "liberty and justice for all" for their own self gain. To all aliens who have wanted to stop and visit, I say just pass on by Earth. You may find yourself in jail for being an "illegal alien"." ~ Puddin'tane
106) "The currency system of Earth is laughable. They use a synthetic paper material to substitute gold. How could a species hold such things in so much regard? Truly fascinating." ~ Tk'klan'tra
107) "Humans are the weirdest creatures I've ever seen. They simply kill other creatures around themselves and scavenge on their dead bodies like certain carnivores. They also have a thing called "culinary arts" where they spend much of their time figuring out weird looking feeds that actually decompose and kill their bodies and cause much trouble and pain called "diseases". They were also destroying systematically their environment by using very inefficient machines to move around, and also were addicted to pursuing ownership of some odd little paper pieces, and small round metal objects that they could exchange for tools, feed and other unnecessary objects. Guess this inefficiency and ignorance and illogical habits led to the Earth's total failure as a populated planet." ~ Astra Nova 6915
108) "During the Artifact found in the Year 2079, among the ruins lied a small fragment, which led us to dig outside of the ruins a little beyond the entrance of Cybertown. The digging revealed two Black Boxes with primitive electronic components within. We found, digging deeper, a slightly corroded plastic bag. In the bag was tape which was used on Earth to communicate to other Earthlings.
The use of our technology allowed 70% recovery of the message. It spoke of the awesome ability of one of the Boxes and how the inventor and his scientist feared for their lives from their Government. The inventor spoke again of the only anti-nuclear power plant in the United States, in a state called California. The plant produced electricity to power the homes of the state and beyond. The plant was to replace all nuclear power plants by using natural gas which was of abundance. The principal was taken from a scientist, who created the principal of nuclear war. This scientist died before his time, for he was born before time. The inventor knew of how it feels to be alone among humans and to be labeled different.
The government in the year 1993 finally labeled the Brain Child. They were allowed to have delusions and you were considered creative and of a higher intellect. But the government watched you closely out of fear, of what you would do next. The inventor saw the prototype in the year 1984 in a college library basement. The College and the location on the tape was destroyed. The prototype continued to fail, even up to the year 1999. The theory was to accelerate two liquid drops of gas at each other in a small vacuum by electric pressure.
The deceased scientist calls this acceleration due to gravity. The scientist did not leave notes or formulas, of short distances within a vacuum. The US government would not produce the original, for it cost three times that of a nuclear power plant. All nuclear plants throughout the world would finally be closed down and no longer a threat to mankind.
The inventor not only expressed that he can produce this new power source, but he said it can be the power source for space travel. The economical anti-nuclear-engine just uses the off-spring gas similar to producing many children at one time; the new gas is now of a higher octane which can be used several times over. This, the inventor says, is done by frequency acceleration and the Larger Black Box of the two proves this theory. On the tape was "Deeply Etched" 5,333,120." ~ The Time Traveler
109) "Whether or not the humans on this planet realize it, they are still autonomous, self-organized life forms and are capable of exploring all that the phenomenon of 'life' offers. It is often a forgotten factor in human relations that communication, learning and sharing are all aspects of growth in life. This applies to all levels of life, from the cellular to the global. There is no substitute for life; either you choose it or choose death. Humans have the unique ability to be conscious of life; that means a meta-view or awareness to will life into action, to focus perception and communicate using the biological phenomenon known as language. Life happens; it is not a material substance that can be quantified, but a force of movement and change in the universe. My personal wish is that my fellow humans will once again discover life and all its possibilities in a non-dual, unmediated, unbiased manner." ~ sapientia
110) "I have repeatedly come to this world for insights in understanding the convoluted and very tangled way humans approach thinking and everyday life. I am beginning to understand what "life" is to them. Life is painful but good. That's how it is on my planet. However, I have inquired (in a guise which cloaks my true identity, of course) why the term "sh_t happens" is so often used as a mantra by humans. What does it mean? If humans refer to a basic waste by-product known as excretion then why don't they just say so! Under those circumstances "sh_t" most certainly does happen. Why state the obvious? I am most irritated by this because I am in a cranky mood. My ship landed in a field of noxious Plutonian poop and I am not happy about it. Not one little bit. As the humans say, "sh_t happens" but why does it have to happen to me? Why? Am I not a good, well-mannered, frog fearing (that's god-fearing in human terms) amphibian? Sure, I step in Draconian Mud-S!!! every now and again but why do I have to suffer an inordinate amount of pain for it? It's just not fair, I tell you! I am so angry I want to spill water. I do not like noxious Draconian poop!" ~ Rena Pippians (froggy for short)
111) "During one of my astral travel adventures I saw a vision of the future. The Earth had been taken over by an entire alien nation and there was no more government, no more red white and blue flags flying proudly under the blue sky, no more freedom! The human race served the aliens as nothing but mere pets! We were on dog leashes, in kennels, fetching sticks, and being fed chewy, pig ears for snacks! Our families were separated and sold to the highest bidder. Our voice boxes were cut out and we were hairy from head to toe. No clothes, nothing! Not even a warm bed. At night we slept in the driveway - behind a heavily armed security fence." ~ babette
112) "Earthlings are extremely naive and ignorant. They elect leaders who assure them that the only way they can be safe is to amass enough weaponry to kill everyone in an instant! The atmosphere obviously has an adverse effect on common sense!" ~ Saziel

114) "May all beings have happiness
and the cause of happiness;
May all beings be free from sorrow
and the cause of sorrow.
May all beings be inseparable from
everlasting fulfillment and harmony;
May all beings find rest in impartial equanimity
and inner peace."

115) "Aah, my experiences on earth have been most pleasing, standing away from the atrocities of their most "advanced" species. I must say that earth, with its ever-expanding sky and flowing waters, is truly a sensual paradise for the open observer. As for the humans, they are the plague of this beautiful orb, this pale blue dot that orbits a small star in the midst of an infinite universe, although, isn't it strange of the potential for greatness that is instilled within each individual human..." ~ RoN~ZiO116) "Reported to me by one of my inspectors on a random trip to a "Natural History Museum" in the year 2001 in the Southwestern part of the United States (at that time one of the leading countries): She was apalled to find walls of pictures drawn by children of the earth species who were given "controlling drugs" (it is a great sadness to see this species drug their children for being children). The drawings were depressing and in the colors of red and black. My observer was also so upset to find literature of how other parents could put their children on the "controlling drugs" if they found any of the behavior in their child. This madness led to the fall of the United States as other countries did not drug their children to the extent the United States did and therefore did not devastate their future generations." ~ Wildflower Poet
