 As much as I’d like to think that polarity is confined to our planetary system, evidence such as the existence of the asteroid belt suggests otherwise. Still, as a researcher of extraterrestrial lifeforms and their interactions with humans (not to mention, a writer of science fiction), what I can tell you is this: there is plenty of evidence to suggest that there are intelligent beings throughout the cosmos. One example is an interview with Paul Hellyer, former Minister of Defense for Canada. So, with the idea that Earth humans aren't the only game in town, let’s assume for a moment that a benevolent extraterrestrial species has decided to undertake a scouting mission to our planet. For the sake of argument, we’ll say that due to their advanced technologies, they are able to evade detection as they approach our planet and slip into our atmosphere. Furthermore, since they are unnoticed by any of the world’s military, they have an excellent opportunity to take a good, long look around. Put yourself in their shoes for a moment. Can you imagine what their initial impressions would be? I’m betting that right away, their sensors would detect harmful chemicals in the water, soil, and air. A moment later they might jet to the other side of the globe only to observe a million square miles of trash in the Pacific Ocean. Disappointed, they would continue onward. Throughout the world's countries they would glimpse corporate greed. Weapons of mass destruction. Corrupt leadership. Poverty. War. Rape. Murder. Drug addiction. Human trafficking. And if all that weren’t enough, they’d spot the catastrophic results of nuclear power plants placed in areas prone to natural disasters. After collecting all this data, they would reluctantly send it back to their mothership. Seconds later, they would receive instructions to stay an additional day and learn more about average Earthlings. To the scouts’ amazement, they pick up on the energy fields of well-intended people. Better yet, they discover these benevolent people number in the billions. The scouts then decide to read the minds of several select individuals. This is where they first learn about the construct of human love. Through a number of other encounters they discover the vast range of creativity humans bring forth—everything from art to music to literature to theater to science and technology. Then they uncover the compassion many people feel towards animals and the importance they place on family and friendship. Several people may report a hunger to advance humankind through scientific and technological breakthroughs. Others may share that they always knew something or someone existed beyond the Earth. And lastly, they uncover an ever-growing commitment to cleaning up Earth’s environment while lifting up those born into poverty. Within hours, this race of extraterrestrial beings would come to understand that the human race represents two distinct sides of the same coin. Now, they are faced with a dilemma. They can sit back, do nothing and watch us destroy ourselves or they can intervene on a global scale and at all levels of society to help ensure our survival. Think about it. Do you really believe a highly advanced, benevolent race would abandon us in our time of need? Please feel free to (respectfully) share your thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you! My very best wishes to each and every one you this holiday season. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:  D. M. Atwood is an American writer of suspenseful paranormal and science fiction.
