Alien abduction, unidentified flying objects, earthlike planets from other galaxies, extraterrestrial beings from afar, mind-boggling sightings: do they speak the truth? Or is it just pure fallacy with a touch of perverse imagination? We may not know and unravel the mystery behind this controversy, what we do know is there’s something beyond our planet that breathes life like we do. It’s very unlikely indeed, but the probability is astonishingly great. It suggests that the chances will ultimately dilapidate the ‘skeptism’ of those who are suspicious.
We are living in a labyrinth of mysteries and shadows. The article, itself, exclaims this truth relevant to the issue. The clearness of its hue was thoroughly stated, but the vagueness remained untouched. Since the first extraterrestrial sighting was recorded, people turned haywire when the media daunted their imaginations. People, whether young or old, are becoming paranoid nowadays when the thought of loathsome aliens from cosmic space come to their perplexed minds. The prominent controversy inspired curious writers and authors, as well as a handful of mindless movies even I wouldn’t dare understand. Scientists and astronomers are burdened with a baggage of confusion and animosity as to how they would consider the said controversy: is it science or a thing of the paranormal? Phenomena like this are difficult dilemmas that need detailed study. Unfortunately, society broke the void of their trust to science and would rather believe the extraordinary; this fact is quite disturbing. The most crucial and critical situation is presently happening to this terrestrial world when people begin to turn their backs from science and create their own aimless philosophies. Worse, it escalates beyond the point of majority. It seems that scientists and their sense of foreboding is at the extreme and would continue to be like this until the near future, when they might present hard and unquestionable evidence to the public. The existence of a world with similar biodiversity of creatures to earth is superlatively probable, and yet society is still in doubt of this fact and relentlessly bombards astronomers with questions that swirl unanswered and remain rhetorical. Though those who study the stars did present enough proof to validate their claims, people’s minds are too stubborn that they refuse to understand these things and won’t let statistics flicker the switch to open the door of their openmindedness. Every evidence has a contrasting idea which is quite reasonable when seen form a different perspective. But the vortex of thoughts scientists encounter when studying these evidences seems to be so parallel to their beliefs. Therefore, this dominant thought reigns supreme: EXTRATERRESTRIAL is a FACT, it does EXIST.
Vindication is the word that distorts the imagination of the skeptical ones. Faceless and formless beings from space will likely visit us in the midst of the next century, though it may be vicarious in manner. Until no one illuminates the darkness behind the controversy and present a living specimen, an unending debate of senseless nostrums would resonate in one’s ears. The chasms of reality have their own blend of fantasy and truth; it’s up to us to gaze beyond our seemingly isolated existence. Secrets will always be a part of this mysterious universe, black holes will remain invisible; quasars will always revolve sending pulses of energy faster than light; dark matter will continue to chant our imagination, and extraterrestrial creatures will continue to communicate with us and send cosmic rays of misunderstood messages that project an image of intricate patterns. Is the controversy a hidden truth or merely an exaggeration of the imagination that will haunt the innocence of a child like another ‘Pandora’s Box’? We may not know, and yet we mutter and grumble against our state of sheer isolation? Pathetic, isn’t it? The vulnerability of one’s thinking will forever be perpendicular to the apparition of truth. It maybe unsolvable, the evidences may not be fully persuasive; but one thing’s for certain: we are not alone.
