Are they really out there?

From the moment the first X-Files episode was aired on Dutch television, I became a fan. An exciting TV-series in which Fox Mulder strongly believed in alien life forms visiting earth. Although I never became a conspiracy theorist, two recent news items may feed the believe of governments hiding aliens from the public. The Vatican Observatory issued a statement that the existence of alien life forms is not condradictory to the existence of God. In fact, if Aliens exist, they are also part of God's creation.

On the same day, the opening of British secret UFO files was announced. Not that they contain evidence, but stories of sightings which were investigated. A true conspiracy theorist might start thinking that this is part of a carefully designed plan to prepare the public for the presentation of a pact with beings from outer space.
