The recent UFO sighting down in Texas and its accompanying media circus prompted Green Daily to look at the UFO phenomena from a perspective that I had never even considered, its impact on the environment. While the article has a slightly condescending tone in regards to people that are open minded enough to believe that we are not alone in the universe, it does raise a good point. If our visitors have the technology to travel across the cosmos, go largely undetected as they fly around the planet, do they have a means of powering their lives without destroying the environment? Do they have the technology to help us fix the environmental disasters we have already completed?

While there is a chance that our cosmic neighbors have screwed up their environment just as badly as we have our own (or worse), there is just as much chance that they have learned to coexist with the natural world and can share with us technologies that will let us step away from dirty energy sources and teach us to live harmoniously with our planet. While I had never really thought about it before, this is just another reason I look forward to the day when the human race makes peaceful and public contact with the extraterrestrial civilizations that have been visiting our planet.
