There you go. It sounds contrived to say the least.

You bring up an excellent point. If you look at the modern UFO/Alien Abduction mythos it portrays ETs as being as backward and irrational as they are supposedly technologically advanced. Although able to cross vast distances and overcome innumerable deadly obstacles to get here, their communication skills consistently prove to pathetically ineffectual and the methodology employed in their alleged genetic studies primitive compared to modern standards. Their alleged actions don't reflect any ethical or philosophical superiority to speak of either but rather the darker side of humanity itself. Does the ET mythos reflect humanities shadow? Are we looking up into the skies and peering into the darkness of the collective human psyche?
