From the 'X File' Dept: China's UFO Obsession -Ex-China Foreign Ministry Official: "Extraterrestrials live among us"

In sharp contrast to the industrialized West, the Buddhist milieu of China has encouraged their scientific community, with the support of government, to seek to explore UFO incidences and evidence of human contact with extraterrestrials.

Russia's Izvestia reports that China has a record number of UFO scientific and community-based organizations, where some attempt to establish some sort of a contact with extraterrestrials. Their actions are protected by the government-funded National Society of the Extraterrestrial Studies, which was founded 25 years ago. Only professional scientists and engineers are allowed members in the Society. A person also required to have Ph.D. in science and have several published works about UFOs. About a third of all members of the society are also members of the Government of China.

Sun Shili, a retired foreign ministry official who is now president of the Beijing UFO Research Society who also concludes that waixingren (extraterrestrials) are living among us.

Sun claims his first close encounter occurred in 1971, when he was sent to the remote countryside during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76) to perform the grueling task of rice planting. One day while toiling in the field, his attention was diverted to a bright object in the sky, which rose and fell repeatedly.

At first, Sun assumed the object was some sort of Cold War intelligence monitoring device – a reasonable deduction considering the times – however years later, after reading foreign materials on UFO sightings, he knew he had experienced a close encounter.

According to Shen Shituan, an rocket scientist, president of Beijing Aerospace University and honourary director of the government-supported China UFO Research Association, every report of an alien encounter is worth investigating.

''Some of these sightings are real, some are fake and with others its unclear,'' said Shituan. ''All these phenomena are worth researching.''

Research into UFO's could help spur new forms of high-speed travel, unlimited sources of non-polluting and non-fossil fuel based energy and faster-growing crops, claims Sun Shili.

China's ET obsession appears to have conceptual support from some of the more radical theories reported in the Western media.

If every habitable world in the universe is unique, and the precise chemical conditions of a planet helps shape the life that evolves there, then avatars, reports Astrobiology, could allow aliens to visit other worlds from the safety of their spaceship: "Could it be that all the stories of alien encounters on Earth were really encounters with alien avatars? Maybe aliens don't actually look like grey humanoids with large eyes and no noses. Instead, that haunting image may simply be what we look like to them."

The report is interesting but no definite sightings has been detailed out. One needs to colaborate in such efforts on a world wide scale. i personally believe that aliens exist. Howevee we are not sure if they hide amongst us or escape permanent contact as they fly off at high speed that our present technology is unable to match or cope with. This dialogue as also the investigations need to be continued with greater vigour and international collaboration.

I don't believe so.

Greetings people of Earth.

Interesting article about our presence amongst you.

While we must confess that no cultural or scientific element of Earthly existence is of significant interest or stimulation to our much evolved minds, we are nevertheless here amongst you, simply because we heard "Earth-Girls are easy".

(It is a rather common stereotype of planet Earth, amongst many senior level civilizations of the milky way.)

Of particular female-availability, we have found that those females of your species who tend to live in what is known amongst you as "trailer-park" dwellings (located primarily in the southern rural settings of the nation referred to as the "USA") tend to be more easily coaxed and deceived.

Thus we have focused our efforts and activities in those "trailer-park" regions as of late.

You may have noticed our sudden bright lights, accompanied by strange bursts of beaming/levitation technology, as well as a "fuzzy" feeling of forgetfulness thereafter, in which you can't quite seem to remember what has just transpired.

But do not be alarmed. That is simply an element of our own evolved mating rituals, designed to impress the females of your species.

Aside from attempted seduction abductions, we also do admittedly appreciate a Guinness or Budweiser on tap now and then, and have also been known to take in a game or two of your primitive sporting events, at various localized community social gatherings within settings know as "pubs" and "bars".
