Is it possible that space beings are already among us?

Yes! One theory is that tattoos — specifically neck tattoos — are in fact extraterrestrial lichen, which may be wondering why we do not respond to them as such. You don’t think all tattooed humans — much less those with tattoos of the neck — are clear as to how those things got on them, do you? Especially the neck. Who would voluntarily get tattooed on the neck? If neck-tattooed humans do offer an explanation (“Woke up, had been drinking, looked in the mirror, said hunh”), might not that be an alien coverup?

Seventy-nine percent of terrestrial beings agree with the statement, ‘There is too much money in politics’ — but agreement comes, surprisingly, from only nineteen percent of extra-terrestrials. One explanation is that only about eleven beings overall identify as spacepersons. Technically, beings who come to earth, from wherever, are not extraterrestrial anymore. Nearly 98 percent of visitors from other worlds who agree that money is too powerful today also answer ‘Yes’ to the question, ‘Where can I get some?’”
