They are intelligent beings with language and (reportedly) highly evolved sensory perception...

We have nothing to gain by 'studying' them and they certainly have nothing to gain by any form of communication with us "animals".

Just read the responses to this thread so far.

They've been around as long as we have and there's good reason that they have been kept secret and all these years.

The big question is, WHY ARE WE BEING ALLOWED TO LEARN THE TRUTH NOW?
