“Take Me to Your Leader” – Aliens Galore
January 28th, 2009
The phrase is a stereotypical phrase that has been used when it comes to aliens and any other matter that concerns them. Though the true origins of the words is totally unknown, there have been early references to such phrases as early as 1647 when people began to realize the possibility of there being other intelligent beings out there in the universe which was subject to growing interest in those very years. In the works of John Milton, Paradise Lost, there was a notion of the concept when the angel discusses with man the possibility of life on the moon.
The phrase may have been concocted by the many famed movie makers and writers for it instills fear and curiosity that the words “Take me to your leader” has been so much a part of most science fiction films that deal with aliens and the supernatural. Scientists are just beginning to study the possibility of sentient life on other planets like the earth amidst the billions of stars that are in the universe. There may indeed be such life though not in the forms and shapes we expect them. SETI has been constantly working to find signs of such intelligent life feom space by listening through large radio telescopes for signals that may have meaning. Though no solid facts have been ironed out, the mere statistics of the universe and the many other stars which may have such planets as the earth is a truly enticing idea indeed.
