Re: Have You Been Taken?
Thing is with alien visitors is that it requires uncanny good luck on the alien's part. How would they know to pick our little dirtball over the potentially thousands of other planets? You could claim that we've been emitting radio and such, but that travels at the speed of light. The expanses of space being quite, well, tremendously huge, makes it even more improbable. Again, the amount of distance between us and any other sentient life would work against them. They would have to travel for hundreds of years depending on their speed (I assume that the speed of light cannot be broken). I think we are going to be alone for a while.

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
