Scientific Proof of the Existence of Advanced Civilisations in the Cosmos?

[StephenW11UK]

The highly respected astronomer, Carl Sagan, back in 1977 [website: The Carl Sagan Portal] was one of the group that, at NASA's suggestion, sent a message out into space in Voyager, in the hope of an answer coming back - in the, hopefully, not too distant future.

At the same time President Carter, who had had a close encounter himself, made the following statement : "We cast this message into the cosmos . . . Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some - - perhaps many - - may have inhabited planet and space-faring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: We are trying to survive our time so that we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe."

P.S. What American president other than JFK and maybe Eisenhower could have spoken their message in words such as these, that so resonate with probably most of us on this forum? And may I suggest that it is not that the question is profound here, but that your answer to the question could be.

Right, whereas Reagan put a fearful spin on ET contact from the get go.

"I couldn’t help but - when you stop to think that we’re all God’s children, wherever we live in the world, I couldn’t help but say to him (Gorbachev) just how easy his task and mine might be if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We’d forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this Earth together."

and

"In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside of this world. And yet I ask - is not an alien force already among us?"

He didn't even entertain the possibility that there could be a benevolent race of ETs and he made it seems like a "universal threat" would be a positive event for humanity. Propaganda to the extreme!!!

Are there not ways that they can help us without revealing their presence here?
