FOREWORD philosophical teaching and insights, they say, is a vital test of our intelligence and powers of perception, and from our reactions they will judge whether we are mature enough to be entrusted with their highly superior scientific and social knowledge, which is 25,000 years in advance of our own. They explain that they do not choose to land openly and officially in any one country because that would involve violating our planetary air space, both at national and international levels. Landing anywhere at all might also seem to imply approval of that particular country's government and philosophy - and they do not so approve of any existing nation on Earth.
