Recent UFO Speculation Shows We Have Not changed

When the USA shot down several supposed weather balloons a few weeks back, which many claimed to be UFO's, I was reminded of the movie 'The Day the Earth Stood Still.' A classic, one of the best sci-fi flicks ever made.

In the movie Michael Rennie, stars as Klaatu, a traveler from a distant planet, who comes as a prophet of sorts to warn the residents of Earth that we are close to destroying ourselves.

Upon landing in Washington his space ship is immediately surrounded by the military. Guns, tanks, artillery of all sorts are  pointed at the craft. When Klaatu emerges and pulls out a gift, he is instantly struck by a bullet.


A messenger of peace is gunned down. Klaatu survives the ordeal. The movie concludes with him offering world leaders a choice-- a forboding warning of annihilation, or become peaceful and be welcomed into the un1verse of peaceful nations.

We shot down several small balloons not knowing their true purpose, where they came from and who launched them. They were not a threat. Many felt they were UFO's. Hence why I the incident reminded of The Day the World Stood Still.

We have survived eighty years without a nuclear war. Will we survive another eighty?
