Men have always looked for aliens. At the turn of the century they also began to “listen” for life in the cosmos, aligning satellite arrays up toward the skies. We had achieved the means to send and receive messages over vast distances, and it seemed plausible that our new inventions might be common tools for intelligent space creatures. Men desperately awaited the beginning of an intergalactic conversation. One thing is for sure- When it comes to intelligent life, men like to look very far away.
What neither the US government nor half the populous knows is that humans and extraterrestrials are well acquainted. It’s been over a hundred years since aliens first learned of our existence, located our planet and traveled to earth. We call them “Z2s”, and they come from Hypatia-99.
