I'm just wondering, do they order Chinese, pick berries, go fishing? What do they eat, where do they sleep?
And, did any of them teach me in grade school when I had nuns for teachers?

Alien species have been visiting earth for thousands of years, says Canada’s former defense minister, and they’re worried that humans are going to wreck the planet.

“Something dreadful is going to happen to it if we don’t smarten up and change our ways,” said Paul Hellyer, who served as defense minister in the 1960s.

He’s the first top official from a G8 nation to claim that extraterrestrial life has been confirmed, and he discussed his beliefs Tuesday on Russia Today.

Hellyer said up to 80 different species regularly visit earth, from the “short grays” seen in cartoons and illustrations to species called “Nordic blondes” and “tall whites” who could almost pass as humans. .............

1. This makes Snowden's leaking look puny

Thanks for the head's up, human. This will be dealt with.

2. Of course they hate our nukes! It is they only thing that can hurt their ships!

Of course, that is after we plant a virus in their mainframe to get their shields to go down all at once. Then, any conventional weapon Will Smith do.

16. That is, of course, assuming that the alien computers use the standard IBM instruction set!

Why do movie makers never think about things like this? Duhhh!!!!!

[Rex]

17. The irony? IBM instruction set

came from the crashed space craft in Roswell!

[Coyotl]

23. Geek DUzy!

[Archae]

21. Nope, nukes don't hurt 'em.

Slim Whitman does!

[Warren DeMontague]

30. And Randy Quaid is in... Canada.

Coincidence? I think not.

[underpants]

3. BUILD A FENCE!!!!!

But let the Nordic blondes in

[Coyotl]

4. DUzy!

And, if they can pass for nuns, we need them in our schools.

5. Space Aliens would never live among US; they are a lot smarter than that.

Like the Space Aliens, I believe humans have wreaked and continue to destroy the planet, its species and themselves.

26. If space aliens did visit Earth

I doubt we would know what their agenda is anymore than fish understand the agenda of scuba divers.

[pscot]

6. I knew that!

[sarisataka]

7. Uh oh

where's the bubblegum?

8. He stole the idea about human-like, nordic, tall, white aliens from a german scifi pulp novel:

I'm pretty sure he means the "Arkonides" from the series "Perry Rhodan".


Pictured here: A secret agent and a prison director's wife.


Pictured here: The alien science-officer that was sent to Earth.


Pictured here: Mascaren Atlan da Gonozal, formerly a Lord-Admiral, later sent into exile for sympathizing with the Terrans.



EDIT: The series started in the 1960s. And the first season was about aliens landing on Earth and the Cold War powers trying to nuke them, while the heros try to use alien technology for the good of mankind.

19. A lot of 50's alien encounter stories involve tall, blonde aliens.

The bug eyed grey aliens come later. Both seem to echo the dominant tv/film depiction of the time period. In particular the reports of the Nordic aliens and their benevolent, concerned demeanor seem to borrow heavily from The Day the Earth Stood Still. They were really dominant in pop culture and in alien encounter stories from the period, which usually were described as being a positive experience in which the aliens communicate a message to humanity, usually about peace or science. It's worth noting that what he's saying is entirely typical of the pop culture depictions of aliens in his young adulthood.

The grey alien type encounters mostly copy the Barney and Betty Hill abduction story. In turn the Barney Hill's description of a grey alien seems to be inspired by an Outer Limits episode that aired a week and a half earlier (Betty described the aliens differently, but his image is the one that "stuck" for some reason.) Their account was widely published and almost all of the abduction stories since are variations on that story.

[ZX86]

25. I don't think so.

He is basing his opinion on UFO/alien abduction research. Not fiction books designed for entertainment.

31. I, for one, welcome our buxom blonde dominatrix extraterrestrial overlords

...just sayin

[think]

9. Shocking!

Canada has a defense minister? Who knew?

[Coyotl]

11. The story is the best evidence yet of how irrelevant having a Defense Minister is.

Thanks aliens.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Good point

[SidDithers]

10. Paul Hellyer is a fucking loon...nt

Sid

[Coyotl]

12. That brings us to the DU neologism of the day,

he's a woon!

[OneBlueDotBama]

14. Defence Minister in I think in 1963.....

When the Liberals returned to power in the 1963 election, Hellyer became Minister of National Defence in the cabinet of Lester B. Pearson.

[SidDithers]

15. And became a fucking loon soon after...nt

Sid

[Warren DeMontague]

33. He looks vaguely familiar

[d_r]

13. it sounds like

he has read the blue planet project

[geek tragedy]

18. Sounds like dementia. nt

[Coyotl]

20. And I was thinking it sounded like woo.

[geek tragedy]

22. We do not disagree. nt

[ZX86]

24. Has anyone bothered to evaluate what his opinion is based on?

I know people hear "space aliens" and immediately go into woo convulsions but I would rather see people evaluate and critique any evidence he presents rather than poo poo any idea that involves extraterrestrial life.

[LongTomH]

27. "Nuns in Las Vegas"

He claimed the “tall whites” are working with the U.S. Air Force in Nevada, and that two women from that species had dressed as nuns and went to Las Vegas to shop.

If you see a 'nun' in Las Vegas, her outfit is likely made of leather or rubber, and she's handing out severe punishment to guilty ex-schoolboys.

[Coyotl]

29. I. for one, was hoping for more details about what those "nuns" did while on Vegas leave.

You gotta love how much detail he provides without any evidence to go with it. Where are the photos, for example.
All those aliens, all these many decades, not even a Polaroid of those nuns on the Strip?

28. "...wanted to help humans, but they’re bound by a code of conduct from doing so."

Sounds like Roddenberry's prime directive
