The UFO

A UFO was spotted over Holland recently and some interesting footage was recorded culminating in its rapid exit from the skies. What has not been released, however, is a transcript of its communication with Amsterdam air traffic control. Although the content was heavily encrypted, a translation code was sent by the UFO. The content can now be revealed....

"Communication medium - Earth language, common usage categorised English.

We came, we looked. For you, you measured time... something called thirties, forties, sixties... decades you say. For us, it was a moment, contained in light travel. We scanned your planet. You called us UFOs in all that time. In your limited system no doubt we are. But that is unimportant. What is important is why we came. To seek other inhabitants of this universe. It is vast so we know that others exist. Already we have found others in distant galaxies. We discovered you, people of the place you know as Earth. We wanted to interact with you, to create what you call friendship and we call the ‘Amicitia Programme.’

But we cannot pursue this with Earth, for you are still not civilised and will be unable to blend with our principles. You fight, you kill, you have deities, numerous deities and you cannot agree on why. And you kill one another because of this. You have many timeframes to pass until you can relinquish this behaviour and, until you do so, you will deplete your planet, the only place you have in this universe. You try to explore. You go to your moon. You want to go to asteroids in your system. You will never know the universe until you open your eyes. Your physical formation is known as homo sapiens. You are the all the same on this planet. But sapient you are not, for you display no wisdom.

If you look to what you call the ‘sky’ and wish to go there, relinquish your petty beliefs in things that are not real. For if you do not, you will destroy yourselves and not see the grand vista that is above you. Your ‘gods’ do not exist. You made them, created your existence around them and subjugated your species because of them. This is not behaviour that will see you advance as a species. This is not behaviour that will open your mind to the universe as it really is. For as long as you see your gods as the beginning, creators and rulers, your minds will remain limited and you will continue to destroy each other.

We will make no more contact. You do not fit. We will look to see how you develop over time and if you develop higher wisdom, we will return.”
