I understand many may or may not believe In extraterrestrials, But hear me out. Over the years many people have been seeing bizzare objects In the sky to convince themselves that there are others out there. Now ask yourself how is it that there is lots of sightings but why aren't they exposing themselves to us by now. Well this is my theory; They are observing us and our progression In Evolution to see if we are worthy to them I believe they are our creators they are letting us play in a playground observing us if we fail to use the tools to grow strong in everyway from our trust in each other our imaginations too see if we evolve into a civilization that will be able to …
