Aliens....Yes....No....Maybe

Posted 26th Jul 2014
My point of view is yes but I'm not convinced they have been here yet and we may never live long enough as the human race to see them here or to travel to them.

    Statistically, they must exist in some form or another - the sheer quantity of planets in the Universe means that they must - if you believe in the statistics, which I do.

    Practically, we will never get to see them, they will never get to see us. Too far. Unless some form of non-conventional travel is discovered (wormholes, FTL travel) then the distances are just too great. Plus, why would a super-intelligent civilisation choose to visit us in particular when, if there are numerous planets with other forms of life in our infinite Universe, there will be others closer?

    It would be marvellous to discover life of any variety, maybe in the seas on the moons of the middle gas giants of our Solar System. Who knows. I hope I live long enough to see man land on Mars.

    There is a theory that there is another planet in our system that orbits … There is a theory that there is another planet in our system that orbits the sun in a long polar plane rather than equitorial like Earth. Most of the time it is out of site to us but every few thousand years or so it comes close enough to earth to allow travel from them to us and thats why we take jumps in knowlage on a regular basis.

    I saw a UFO once, still creeps me out to think about it. No lights in the sky stuff either, the thing was maybe 15 meters off the ground. You could see it was a machine.

    It was about the size of a small car and made absolutely no sound at all. Disc shaped and sort of made up of two halves, It was also pulsing and changing colour. The bottom half would be red and the top half black then the colours would switch. The bottom half would become black and the top half red. The colours continued to switch every second as it moved. We were stood pretty much underneath the thing and walked along with it for a couple hundred yards, we stopped and it carried on at walking pace until it dipped over some trees.

    I still think about it 20 years on, and talking about it still gives me the same uneasy feeling as I had standing there watching it. I couldn't say it was a spaceship, but I've seen nothing like it since.

    Why do you assume that they will treat us as 2nd class citizens? It may be that they do have superior intelligence which includes superior morals and ethics.

    Google 'the drake equation'. Most credible boffins agree that when you put the numbers in it, its highly unlikely that we are alone in our own galaxy, let alone the universe.

    Why is it irony to deliberately quote a misspelled word and then try to belittle him for doing so when it's not a mistake. Now that IS irony.

    I'm not convinced they have been here either, but there is a very good chance considering the technologies and UFO's which our ancestors have described.

    Considering the universe is over 13 billion years old and the possiblity that we are not the first intelligent life in it, that would give aliens a massive time advantage.

    Maybe they didnt take over our planet for ethical reasons? I'm sure when space travel becomes common for humans we are not going to take over every planet we find which is capable of life... but we may still send 'messengers' to those planets and interact with the indigenous species. Theres also a good chance we will continue monitoring them to make sure they do not pose a threat.
