i have known that for decades, david. however, i look at what is actually written, and keep the interpretation separate from what has really been said. kind of a safe haven for all those who still think its BS that humanity has/had any ET contact. this recognition is still a free will choice subject and not everybody is ready for it as yet. more than 3/4th of humanity believes that, in this vast universe, we cant be the only intelligent species.  its another thing to entertain the thought that many of them are not physical like us, not restricted by light speed, and have been in contact with us for thousands if not millions of years. as i personally see it, our awareness about it will soon change.  there is a partial disclosure plan in action, in order to prevent full disclosure. look at the many TV shows about space, ancient civilizations, giant skelettons, all religions talking about space people, and stuff, and you see the preparation. personally,  i opt for full disclosure.  but it still has to happen over time so people can expand their confrontation levels and dont freak out.
