if aliens can make it all the way here in some sort of spacecraft from where ever they are from...why do they crash...i mean you'd think they'd be able to stick the landing if they could make it the billions of miles to get here.

Precisely the point I made, a spaceship that can come from even the nearest star system to earth can surely land itself.

The crashes are probably caused when our military SHOOTS THEM DOWN.

Isnt it obvious? When you fly into a cloud of smog with such a sensitive and sophisticated machine, something will fail - be it the engines (whatever they may use to propel their crafts) or the pilot.

This also explains why all the alien space crafts crash in the western part of the USA - in proximity of Los Angeles, the home of smog!

Now that I said it, maybe the smog is the secret masterplan to counter an alien invasion! Ingenious, those bastards of the oil industry!

There you have it, its all explained.

As we are always told, statistically speaking, flying is the safest form of travel. When they don't mention is that those stats are in respect of deaths per total distance travelled. It's well known that most air disasters and fatalities occur on either take off or landing.

It seems we can extrapolate that to several lightyears without problems (not much to crash into) and for aliens to reach our planet they must have succeeded in taking off ok.

It's the landing that's the tricky part ;-)

Especially when some guy in a jet is shootin heat seeking missiles at you.
