Do you think there used to be dragons roaming the earth?

Do you still think the earth is flat? This is how it sounds when you try to ridicule something that you don't know or probably don't want to know for various reasons, you should read more on the subject with an objective mind.

Why did aliens wait for us to develop advanced technology before manifesting themselves, and why did they stop now that smartphones and google-earth are common-place things?
