Well...to be honest...when your that advanced...i think it would be really funny picking 1 guy up probing him (the probing is not fun) and video tape him buggin out telling everyone and no one believes him...like a cartoon.....then again...i was raised by the internet...but hey...they could be testing us seeing how we handle it.
The human mind honestly does not want to believe that aliens (as cliche as the term is) exist. Some people do, but majority of humanity doesn't want to believe in a world in which a different race of intelligent life is superior to us.
That's really not it bro, it's more a probabilities thing. The chances of some extraterrestrial life form visiting earth are so low as to be negligible.xXAsherahXx said:
And besides who says any form of life is superior to any other?
In short, don't be silly.
Who's being silly? I'm just saying that with every UFO sighting on earth. It is usually never accepted and many try to poke holes in it.flamingjimmy said:
UFOs, as in Unidentified Flying Objects, sure. Since by literal definition anything that's flying and cannot be identified is a UFO.
On the other hand, if you're asking if I believe that Extra Terrestrials have visited this planet, I would say no. There is no doubt in my mind that there is live elsewhere in the Universe, but assuming they're even intelligent and capable of interstellar travel the odds are still immeasurably low that they'd even come across our planet.

Why, yes. I would too, and I think intelligent life is out there somewhere. I just think it's probably really, really far out there.xXAsherahXx said:
Look -- Voyager 1 is the farthest man-made object from earth. It was launched in 1977, and it is just now leaving the solar system (it's currently in the heliosheath). It's about fifteen light-hours away from earth.
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star. It's about four light years away from earth. That's a considerable distance.
For intelligent life to reach us, it would have to be able to travel fast (or live a really long time), live in the right neighbourhood, and stumble over our planet out of all the billions of possibly inhabited worlds. The odds of that happening -- seriously happening -- are pretty low.
They're out there, there's very little doubt of that when you take into account the sheer vastness of space and the multitudes of stars and planets available.
As for whether they've visited Earth? I very much doubt any sentient race intelligent enough to have developed a system for spanning the massive distances between star systems would be inclined to come all this distance just to anal-probe hick farmers, kills some cattle, then leave funny shapes in their fields for good measure. That's stupid.
So no, I don't believe Aliens have ever visited earth.

You forget that we (homo sapien) only been around for less than 1 million years. Perhaps civilizations that have been around for more than a million years or tens of millions of years have figured it out, us out, and how to get over here.atalanta said:
Naa no way. Most of the universe is uninhabitable anyways, the parts that can support life are far in between, let alone the ones that can support intelligent life that can advance technologically. Earth was bombarded by rich resources for billions of years to build up metal supplies, without being destroyed and left barren like most other planets probably would be. Then there are the odds of them blowing themselves up with technology like people might :3 i mean, earth is a pretty PEACEFUL planet.. as opposed to a harsh planet that COULD support life, and produce even more savage 'smart' aliens. like.. Krogan.
No. If UFOs existed, then there would be more reports about them from the million or so amateur astronomers world wide, instead of only from random country bumpkins.
I'm not negating the possibility that aliens exist, and perhaps have even visited earth; but if they have, they are sufficiently stealthy that we haven't observed them, unless their cloaking devices (or whatever) are somehow selectively vulnerable to rednecks.

I haven't, actually, and even if I had it doesn't change things. You didn't seem to hear me the last time, but the universe is so large human brains are incapable of really fully realising how large it is, and our presence is limited to a minuscule amount of that space. A race of sentient smoke-things from the Sunflower Galaxy capable of FTL travel who are actively looking for aliens are still going to have a hell of a time picking out our pitiful little presence across 25 million lightyears -- it would be like looking for a needle the size of a grain of sand in a haystack the size of Nevada.xXAsherahXx said:
Yeah they exist somewhere. Its a big universe and I'm pretty sure that some civilization somewhere is more advanced than we are. In fact it wouldn't really be called a "belief". At least I don't think so.
What if it is relatively local. From a nearby star cluster or something. Maybe in the Alpha Centauri stars. We honestly don't know enough about anywhere outside our own star system. And even at that, we are still very limited. That new Kepler satellite will reveal some new things.atalanta said:
I would have to differentiate "do I believe in alien life" and "do I believe in UFOs". I really don't think aliens have been to earth; the distances are just too vast. But considering there are billions of solar systems in billions of galaxies in the universe I would say the likelihood of life other than ours is pretty good. Yes, even considering how many factors there is just to make the perfect environment here on earth. Intelligent life? More rare of course but possible. Keep in mind that any other life could have evolved millions of years ago and if they did exist they no longer do.
