From a statistical view point...

There HAS to be life on other world's.  Given the number of galaxies, and the number of solar sytems in those, and the number of planet's in those...  there HAS to be atleast one with life on it.  Now if it is intelligent and has visited us is another question.


But personally, I believe we have been visited by Aliens, and not just the one's from Mexico, cause I have seen those :)

I saw 15 aliens inside a '77 Monte Carlo once, and until I identified them as airplanes, birds or insects, every flying object I have ever seen has been unidintified.

How do you get 15 aliens in a 77 Monte Carlo?

easy 7 1/2 in the front and 7 1/2 in the back....

Agreed Daniel : *time* is the key : maybe civilisations or simple lifeforms existed someplace and are extinct, or there will be single cell organisms somewhere in a million years...

Anyways, if contemporary aliens have seen our Tv broadcasts, why would they ever want to contact us ??? to meet Jerry Springer and Rosie O'Donnell ?

so UFOs, yes, as *unidentified* flying objects, but they are natural phenomenons (lenticular clouds and the likes) or aircraft, secret or otherwise.
Many sightings are impossible to confirm so far, but I'm sure that many sightings from the cold war era can be blamed on Blackbirds, F117s, B2s and other hi-tech secret birds...

Post by: Wilbus on March 23, 2004, 05:44:02 AM
Unidentified Flying Objects, sure thing they exist, we see them every day more or less but we usually identify them fairly quick.

UFO is IMO not a correct term for alien craft.

To the question though, I believe, and am almost certain there is life elsewhere, probarly intelligent life and probarly in more than one place. Some civilisations may still be in the "stone age" while some may be far ahead of us.

Wether we have been visted or not I don't know, I'd like to believe Yes but will say NO untill we get some real proof of it.

Yep

Have we been visited?  Hmmm.....  not sure.  I guess I would have to think about what the reasons were for a visit and what would a more advanced civilization want to visit us for.

Maybe medical experiments to help explain how they might have evolved into who they are now... like how we use monkeys.

think of it logically:
If aliens had visited us, they would have colonized us and used our resources, sold us drugs, put us on reservations and killed a great many of us if we resisted, and now they'd feel ashamed of what they did and let us build casinos.

Don't know.

I see UFOs all the time - but thats because I'm not very in to ornithology.

The chances of there not being extraterrestrial life seems laughably slim in such a large place as universe.

But ETs travelling between stars and visiting Terra (and without properly saying 'hi') seems a more tenuous assumption.

On the other hand, something is going on here: People do see them. Sometimes en masse. People have had strange experiences and some tell of being abducted. And this sort of thing - whatever it "is" - appears to have been going on throughout a lot of history. But whether it's down to little green (or grey) men, the elves, hallucinations of some sort, brain tumors, or some other explanation - "theory X" - is a much murkier point.

Hoaxes further muddy the waters, but the pure skeptical "it's all a hoax"/"it's all a hallucination" explanations of individual often gets so contrived and convoluted, they end up looking less plausible than the "ETs did it" theories.

Read Charles Fort's "Book of the Damned", and you find yourself entertaining the opinion that the universe is not only weirder than you imagined, it's weirder than you can possibly imagine.

I haven't really come across an explanation that seems to fit yet, so I remain a model agnostic.

"The chances of there not being extraterrestrial life seems laughably slim in such a large place as universe."


True it's large and given it's vastness a possibility, but that's only half of the equation. The chances of a life form being in existence let alone intelligent in the same time frame we are in existence on this earth is almost a mathematical impossibilty.  Given the short time weve been on earth compared to the time of earths existence let alone the universe.

ET is a nice idea but the odds are far greater that our only contact with any form of outside life is more likely to come in the form of a bacteria on a 5 mile wide asteroid just as it's about to crash into earth.

I sort of concur which is why I only said "life" - and why the next sentence was "But ETs travelling between stars and visiting Terra (and without properly saying 'hi') seems a more tenuous assumption."

Nevertheless I reckon the chance for other intelligences still exists. Also, given the size of the universe and the resilience and adaptability of life (and its curious habit of confounding the best thought out mathematical probabilities), I suspect it's not quite as slim a chance as you posit - but that's just the opinion one of the over 6 billion mathematical near impossibilities currently on this planet. ;)

Interstellar travel to earth slims those chances right back down again, but on the other hand, we've already made a start - and that's the product of an solar system that's not the oldest one around - the universe has about 4 - 8 billion years on it - quite a bit of room for development: where will we be in another thousand years - how about 2,000? Who knows - just over a hundred years ago, heavier-than-air flight was another much-touted impossibility, and we lived in a newtonian universe.
