   Question:   
   If there really are extraterrestrials then why don't they come down and say   
   hello?   
   Answer:   
   This is a popular and naive question asked by those who don't know much   
   about this subject. The ETs have a non interference policy and therefore   
   they only contact certain humans under certain conditions. Our society must   
   be allowed to develop more or less naturally.   
      
   Question:   
   If our governments know about ETs and have back engineered technology then   
   why don't they share it with us?   
   Answer:   
   Because governments have military interests and sharing the tech and   
   knowledge of off-worlders would destroy their advantage on the military   
   arena.  And then they would also have to make uncomfortable admissions of   
   using our tax funds inappropriately for black projects instead of helping   
   the community. So they keep it all extremely secret and continue to play   
   dumb regarding the ET presence.   
      
   Question:   
   If the ETs are so sophisticated then why don't they just fix all our   
   problems?   
   Answer:   
   They have actually cleaned up *some* of our pollution and stopped some   
   nuclear incidents from happening, but if they did everything for us then we   
   would never learn on our own and would never take responsibility for   
   ourselves and our planet.
