Uncontacted Tribe - Human Planet: Jungles - BBC One

http://www.bbc.co.uk/humanplanet New footage of one of the world's last uncontacted tribes living in the Brazilian rainforest.

Jose Carlos Meirelles works for FUNAI, a government agency that protects Brazil's indigenous people. Because of the threat posed by illegal logging and mining, he believes that the fight to protect these people depends on proving and publicising their existence. This aerial footage was shot from 1km away using a stabilised zoom lens.

Brazil is thought to be home to around 70 isolated tribes.

Whoever said we need to go there and spread the word of Jesus Christ to these people is a total nut

What if earth is similar to this uncontacted tribe in relation to the universe? What if all (or most) UFO sightings are extraterrestrial beings who refuse to make legitimate contact with our planet, outside of observation purposes and the odd visual display (simply out of amusement)? Perhaps we are left alone in hopes of preservation and self progression. It's not hard to fathom that we see UFOs in the same way these uncontacted tribes see airplanes...

yes. imho i agree it shouldnt be our choice to leave them alone to live without modern technology and medicine.

They would be so far more advanced then us, they would wanna wait to meet us in fear of causing mass change in the humans natural evolution. If you go by the math(forget the equation), estimated 10,000 intelligent species live in the milky way, its not far fetched to believe one is highly more advanced(50million years or so) then us. They would look at us as mere ants at the moment but would be smart enough to know that we can possibly evolve to there level.

From now on you will be known to them as God of the sky's. one day a new model helicopter would arrive and then the divisions will start in who's God is the best. They probably have their own conspiracy crack heads too.

As it seems, we white people are too fearful and not intelligent enough to deserve to be protected. Weird, that discussion for some is still not about different cultures and ethnies and people but still about the fear to be of a dying out skin colour!

Meirelles es de Brasil, no de Inglaterra.....y BBC sólo le ayudó a difundir el mensaje de proteger las Indígenas.
