Proof at last.

Why is it that whenever they visit earth aliens always make straight for the US of A? It is not as if aliens are fond of eating hot dogs, drinking Budweiser or watching baseball. At least no Hollywood movie has shown aliens sitting in a ball park at the bottom of the ninth inning with a dog in one hand and a bottle of Bud in the other. Some aliens have been good as in Cocoon while others have been malevolent as in Mars Attacks where they attached Pierce Brosnan's head on to the body of a dog. In Independence Day they abducted a crop-duster and did unspeakable things, probably of a sexual nature, to him which made him take to drink because no one would believe him. He turns out to be the hero, who eventually saves the world, by flying kami kazi style straight into the belly of the giant alien spaceship and blowing it up from the inside. In the hit TV serial SOAP about 2 sisters, Mary and Jessica, Mary's husband Burt is abducted by aliens. One of them takes the form of Burt and comes to live with Mary to experience life on earth. Trouble is that he has been in space for 1000 years with an all male crew and has not seen a female in all that time. When Jessica comes to visit her sister she finds Mary totally worn out because her husband keeps dragging her upstairs to bed every 5 minutes. She just cannot fathom what has got into him. Thus aliens have been portrayed as friendly harmless creatures getting into funny situations because they do not understand humans or as evil villains who want to kill us and loot all our mineral resources. Even Prof Stephen Hawking has warned of trying to contact aliens. However most people believe that we are alone in the universe and that, a few bacteria apart, there is no intelligent life form like us. Until now. In today's TOI there is a report that one Timothy Good, who has worked for the Pentagon and the Congress in the past, has claimed that President Eisenhower met aliens 3 times at the Holloman Air Force base in New Mexico in 1954. It appears that FBI agents contacted aliens through " telepathic messages ". Apparently they were Nordic in appearance and a deal was signed with a race called " Alien Greys ". Maybe all US presidents since Eisenhower have been aliens which would explain why they always keep taking wrong decisions like supporting Pakistan and giving unnecessary tax cuts to the rich. In which case Romney has no chance because he is a family man married to one woman, who devised a fair healthcare system and is trying hard to appear conservative. Newt Gingrich? He definitely fits the bill.
