Except we're not exactly primitve, even if they were highly advanced.

An alien civilization that can travel across galaxies is far, far more advanced than us. If you take into account the fact that they would likely have a different form of communication than us, they migh try communicating with us in a way we can't understand, and because we don't respond in a way they can understand they would think we're just primitive.

I mean think about it. If another civilization is completely telepathic, then we wouldn't "hear" their attempts at communication, and we would send them nothing back. Other lifeforms on their planet that aren't as advanced as they are could also be non-telepathic, and so we would be viewed in the same light as those other animals. Primitive.

If they are so smart, they should understand that other lifeforms, living in other conditions may communicate differently.
Also, they could have come for rescources. Like gold for instance; the best conductor of electricity than any other metal known on earth, and it doesnt expand or contract, making it invaluable in space travel.

understanding and caring are different things. intelligence is relative and chances are if another civilization in the universe stumbles upon us they will be so advanced we will look like wild animals to them. to top it all off you assume that they would need something like gold when chances are they would be so advanced something like a primitive material would be too crude for their technology to need.

open up your mind to the big picture because if alien civilizations ever come to earth they will most likely be far too advanced for us to understand.

I'm not saying that we would be able to understand them, so don't imply that i'm closed minded.
I'm just putting my opinion out there. That's a valid point about how it's possible gold could be nothing in comparison to the advanced things the use, but for all you know, gold could only exist on Earth.. Which does create a good reason for them being here. Aswell as many other reasons though.

Entertaining vid if you are into the whole "Conspiricy theory, Mockumentary / Blair witch Project" type of show. Several attempts in the Vid to take Real world explainable events and put a UFO spin on them suggest strongly this type of Exagerated, false connect the dots "ignorance is bliss" effort. I certainly could not debunk each and every item in the Video, but if it walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck........ Ya know....

I put this right up there with the Faked Moon Landing, 911 Conspiricy Theory, Missle hit the pentagon, Planet Nibaru stuff :P

Even still, we know ants communicate with pheromone trails and bees communicate through their dance patterns. We know that they communicate differently yet we still consider them primitive to us because of the technology difference.

Neither of these things are true about gold.

in reality the chances of needing any raw material at that stage of technology is slim to none. the idea a insanely more advanced civilization comes to earth to study or take crude materials is laughable to me because its based on human thinking from our perspective which is a dumb way to think about it.
