An Epiphany

All Ufologists struggle with one main question; not whether UFO´s are real, but why are they here? What could explain their bizarre flight characteristics, such as flying and darting about, stopping, and starting again like they are searching for something. The pilots and occupants of these craft have displayed many bizarre behaviors, having been observed performing scientific research and sampling, encountering and abducting human beings, and conducting medical experiments. But to what end?
In July 1969, during the flight of Apollo 11, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin incredulously reported unidentified craft on the surface of the far side of the moon and structures that appeared to be buildings. Both referred to the structures as a base, and activities around the base as resembling mining operations. The Apollo crew then advised of a craft approaching theirs, apparently warning them away from the moon, OUR MOON.
Having landed the lunar module, callsign Eagle, and Armstrong having set foot on the moon, Aldrin videotaped a craft land near Eagle and apparently observe them for a short time before launching and moving away. By the way, all Apollo and Mercury missions, as well as some Shuttle missions reported craft shadowing them during flight.
Sometimes the easiest answer is the best answer. Alien bases on the moon, Aliens visiting Earth, conducting research, almost preparing for something, legends and myths about an end to this world and a beginning to the next. Could they be preparing for the end of our world, utilizing a moon base as a staging area?
Stories abound in mythology about the end of the world. Everything from the Bible to the Mayan calendar to Hopi Indian legend contains end time prophecies. Personally, I do not believe that this world will end or change significantly in 2012, just like it didn´t end at 11:59 pm on December 31, 1999.
If we knew that an entire advanced civilization was going to go extinct, whether or not it was their fault, we would do what we could to save it, or at least to prepare a future for them. We do the same thing now for endangered species of animals such as the jaguar, the giant panda, and the Asian elephant. We research, experiment, study mating and breeding habits, all to successfully propagate their species. Could that now be happening to us?
Let´s add a few more of the mainstays of Ufology, such as underground bases to protect our elite from harm and possibly continue our race, cattle mutilations designed to harvest DNA for study and replication, Men In Black spreading confusion, disinformation, and threats to keep the masses calm and ignorant, all cloaked in the most powerful degree of secrecy ever experienced by mankind.
Each of these facts by themselves have lent to great story-telling. Put together, though, it makes a weird kind of sense. An extraterrestrial race or group of races, fearing the destruction of a sentient race on Earth, could be working to understand the natives of this planet.
It could also be the other way around and these same extraterrestrials are being opportunistic. It would be easier to dominate a race with an intrinsic fear of or obsession with extermination that voluntarily compels them to become subservient to you, believing you to be saviors. However advanced in some ways these extraterrestrials may be, we´re still talking about billions of naturally rebellious, individualistic, self-centered human beings. Forcing so many to fall in line would be comparable to trying to herd billions of cats into a single file line.
Whether or not I believe all of this, you have to admit that it glues everything together in a fascinating way. So is this fodder for a B-movie, or something worth considering?
