Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forums, and UFOlogy is something I'm only just returning to now as an interest for the first time since I was about 12 (I'm 28 now)... so the ground that I'm going to cover here is most likely very well trodden already, but please indulge me. Also, my thoughts here assume as starting point that Grey aliens and the abduction phenomenon are real, which they may very well not be... but for the purposes of this discussion I'd like to leave that debate for elsewhere.
I was thinking about the Greys and the description of their abduction program by folks like David Jacobs as one that is primarily concerned with the use of our genetic material and reproductive functions. This would seem to suggest (correct me if I'm wrong) that a) the Greys are facing something of a crisis in their own evolution which requires the use of our biology and b) following from this, that our biology shares a special relationship or even kinship with their's. Given that, the extra-terrestrial hypothesis faces problems of how different evolutionary paths separated by light years could produce species so alike and compatible. I understand that there can be many explanations for this, such as that there has been persistent contact between our planet and their's throughout the period of our own evolution at least, or that we aren't on the same family tree at all, bearing only a superficial resemblance/biological kinship with them, but the Greys are just so good at genetics that this isn't an issue for them in the production of hybrids using our reproductive systems and DNA. After all, even we can put salmon genes in tomatoes, right?
I'm willing to entertain those possibilities... but there is also the possibility that they are our descendants who are backing out of an evolutionary cul-de-sac by returning to a turning point in their past and our present/future. This, however, raises the well-known problems of paradoxes.... like what if you abduct and probe your great-great-great grandfather and what-not? Of course the multi-verse theory can overcome this problem, resolving such paradoxes by creating a new-timeline to accommodate them rather than polluting the original one. Or maybe they are our evolutionary descendants, but from an alternate universe in which human evolution occurred at a relatively accelerated pace or in which it took a slightly different turn at some point in the past.
But what if they are our future selves from an alternate universe in which time flows at a relatively faster speed than that of ours? A difference in the speed of time flow between our universes would explain both why they represent a future stage of development for us but at the same time have access to our present (as the "future" has arrived sooner for them than it has for us and thus coexists with our present), and why the pace of their program and their dealings with us seem to have progressed so slowly (the 65 years for us since 1947 being perhaps only a quarter of that period or less for them). If we increase the ratio even further it would also explain their persistent awkwardness in dealing with us on a cultural/social level... particularly as manifested in the MIB phenomena... who apparently continue to dress like G-Men, drive outdated sedans in pristine condition, and have such a difficult time responding to novel circumstances or reactions in their dealings with us (assuming of course that the MIB are related in some way, perhaps as hybrids, to the Greys). I mean, if they were the hyper-intelligent race then surely they would have learnt our ways a bit better over the decades otherwise... but if every time they jump back and forth from our timeline to their's we have changed in unexpected ways and in what is for them an accelerated manner, then it would be hard to get their bearings in that way.
Of course this is probably completely wrong even if the phenomenon is true (why, for example, wouldn't they just set up a permanent presence here with which to study us in order to get around the problem?). It was just a crazy thought I had and figured it would be a good a ways as any to introduce myself to the community.
