I was searching on youtube for new videos on "alien races/species" (i had to edit the search to find more recent postings); you'd posted around 30 videos at the time, and i got caught up in about a month. (most of it was easy to understand/i "resonated")

All of the videos I'd found prior to yours were silly "history channel" one offs that had the same "would we be able to communicate to other life forms" rhetoric at the end. I'd also ran across some weird "Q" stuff, and some creepy "Ashtar" automated videos (:
I think the movie Avatar had me thinking about different species of extraterrestrials, and I'd been obsessed with any galactic on the science channel as a teen.
