An interesting theory no doubt. There was something in this direction in the
movie "Predator" too where the alien is shown to have an IR-vision.

YOUR CO-WORKER COULD BE A SPACE ALIEN, SAY EXPERTS ... here's how you can
tell (by Michael Cassels of the "National Inquirer")
Many Americans work side by side with space aliens who look human -
but you can spot these visitors byy looking for certain
tip-offs, say experts.
They listed 10 signs to watch for:
1. Odd or mismatched clothes. "Often space aliens don't fully
understand the different styles, so they wear combinations
that are in bad taste, such as checked pants with a striped
shirt or a tuxedo jacket with blue jeans or sneakers," noted
Brad Steiger, a renowned UFO investigator and author.
2. Strange diet or unusual eating habits. Space aliens might
eat French fires with a spoon or gobble down large amounts of
pills, the experts say.
3. Bizarre sense of humor. Space aliens whho don't understand
earthly humor may laugh during a serious company training film
or tell jokes that no one understands, said Steiger.
4. Takes frequent sick days. A space alien might need extra
time off to "rejuvenate its energy," said Dr. Thomas Easton,
a theoretical biologist and futurist.
5. Keeps a written or tape recorded diary. "Aliens are constantly
gathering information." said Steiger.
6. Misuses everday items. "A space alien may use correction fluid
to paint its nails," said Steiger.
7. Constant questioning about customs of co-workers. Space aliens
who are trying to learn about earth culture might ask questions that
seem stupid, Easton said.
"For example, a co-worker may ask why so many Americans picnic on
the Fourth of July," noted Steiger.
8. Secretive about personal life-style and home. "An alien won't
discuss domestic details or talk about what it does at night or
on weekends," said Steiger.
9. Frequently talks to himself. "An alien may not be used to
speaking as we do,so an alien may practice speaking," Steiger noted.
10. Displays a change of mood or physical reaction when near certain
high-tech hardware. "An alien may experience a mood change when a
microwave oven is turned on," said Steiger. The experts pointed out
that a co-worker would have to display most if not all of these
traits before you can positively identify him as a space alien.

Okay. Now that I know what to look for in co-workers that could be space
aliens, does that mean that I should turn my whole department over to the
CIA or something??? (They seem pretty close...)

Have there been many sitings of UFOs lately? I haven't heard of any..
Let's collect any stats here on alt.alien.visitors...
I did see a section on tv (60 minutes?) over the xmas holidays featuring a
segment with someone talking about Area 51 in Nevada. This segment had
first been aired earlier in 1990.. the man interviewed said the military
had several ET objects stored in a hangar, and he had worked on one of them.
After going public with this information, the man found his identity being
taking away. The hospital where he was born had no information, the county
didn't have his birthicate, previous employers had no records of him ever
having worked for them.
Does anyone have any more info on Area 51, hangar 18(?), etc.

I have thought about eraseing a persons identity. I have thought about
how much work was involved, how much time involved, records you just
can't access, people you can't kill, minds you can't erase, certain
files that just cannont be erased. It's hard enough finding out about
a person you don't know, it's even harder eraseing their life.
For some people it may be easy to erase their lives, some it is near impossible.
You wouldn't have to erase everything, just enough to make them fall apart.
What happens when your credit, credit cards, drivers license, SS card and your
magazine subscriptions just go away.
