One common questions about this incident is if the supposed aliens wished to pass on a message about the risks to planet earth or humanity, why would they choose to deliver the message to a group of school children? I was watching some of the interviews with the children again and one striking, perhaps unsettling thing always stands out to me: how remarkably articulate and emotionally intelligent the children are, far more than most other children their age. The question of why would advanced beings deliver an important message to school children assumes that the aliens failed. But if you look at this from another perspective, its possible to argue that the aliens actually succeeded. The message they supposedly imparted on the children has now been heard all over the world by people who have read about the incident. Many of the children interviewed talked about an almost psychic connection with the beings, that the aliens almost seemed to know everything about them. Perhaps the aliens chose the children because they knew they would understand the message and repeat it in a way that would be publicised for humanity as it has been. If that was the intention, the aliens achieved exactly what they set out to do. submitted by /u/laptopuser75 [link] [comments]
