I've never doubted the existence of alien life, but UFOs...that's a whole different story. I highly doubt that we've been visited by extraterrestrial beings. I also believe that about 98% of UFO sightings can be explained by natural phenomena/man-made objects. Notice that there's 2% left... I guess part of me wants to believe... :pwease:
What are your thoughts?
The same. It's a mathematical impossibility for us to be alone in the universe. A universe so vast that if we knew it's measure we'd probably go insane from the knowledge of how tiny and insignificant we, our lives, our solar system, and even our galaxy really are.
That being said I think U.F.Os are intriguing but doubt it's aliens from some distant star system and if it is we're most likely fukked.

Things like this:



Certainly do make one ask the question: "How... the... hell...?" The level of precision many of those stones were carved with was beyond the appreciation of the human eyeball and any known technology at the time. There's also the rule of economics... when these people built this stuff, it wasn't like the whole economy of this place was running simply for the sake of building hideously big structures. Other basic functions of life had to go on, as well.

Look at Cathedrals. Those works -broke- regional churches across Europe and imposed very heavy economic burdens on the population.

These guys built stuff that makes the Cathedrals look quaint by comparison... so it couldn't have been substantially more taxing on their population. In other words... the task of building these structures couldn't have been greater than the task of building a Cathedral.

Which is a mind-boggling concept, considering where we were at the time.

Regardless... we're missing something. Be it aliens or super-smart ancestors that disappeared (or some combination of both...).

As for whether or not many of the strange lights in the sky end up being aliens... I think an exceptionally small percentage of them are plausible candidates for some kind of ET activity. Though little can be gained from what few sightings fall into that category - other than "yeah... that's hard to explain."

Until we catch such a vehicle and coax some answers out of whatever being happens to be inside - I don't think we'll have much of an answer.

Would be very disappointing, however, to expand into the cosmos and have only ourselves to interact with.

Actually, when it comes to the universe, I wouldn't go by that logic...

Out of all the planets in the milky way, only earth and mars can maintain life,BUT, have you seen any life on mars, other than tiny microscopic organisms?NOPE.

Look at jupiter, it's the biggest planet in our solar system, BUT, it's a big ass gas planet...it's mostly composed of gas.

That's not true, there are billions of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, you're just talking about our solar system. And considering 2/8 of the planets are thought to support life (in terms of the life we find on Earth) that's not too bad. Expand those odds to the whole galaxy and that's billions of planets capable of supporting life. Expand that to the universe and its an almost infinite number of planets. Then consider that this is just life like what we've found on Earth, and doesn't consider the possibility of life existing in ways we can't even imagine, and it becomes clear that its far more likely for life to exist elsewhere than for Earth to be the sole place.

Now have aliens visited Earth? Maybe. Its hard to explain some of the UFO stories especially ones reported by credible people such as airplane pilots and military personal. I don't think its out of the question, but I think its more likely that they haven't. We're a long ways away from other planets, who knows if the physical laws of the universe would actually permit that type of travel.

Firefighters, police, people are witnessing the same thing ..... The four corners of the united states

Loud explosions, lights in the sky, the ground cracks (No seismic activity).

I voted for 'alien life exists, we have not been visited'. Of course I think it exists, why not. But the area is so wide, it's hard that intelligent life meets too often.

Now that we're talking about mysteries and so on, do you people also find it hard to believe that space is infinite? Like for example, when you go to one direction, you'd end up where you started from, this is something I just can't comprehend...

OT: Yes, I do.
