Do you think aliens/UFOs exist?

[furrycute]

Any thoughts on aliens and UFOs?

Personally I think they exit, and have probably visited earth for millions of years, if not longer.

The universe is a vast place. In such a vast expanse, there has to be other intelligent life in other parts of this expanse.

And I for one don't think that all more technologically advanced intelligent aliens will be fuzzy and coddly like what we saw in the movie E.T. Some of them could be warlike, some of them could be the worst business type the universe has ever seen. Some of them could even be slave traders.

Think about it, there is no rule that says all aliens will have to be benign. Just take a look at what the Europeans did when they came to the new world.

Dude, lay off the star wars and sci-fi movies!

But my entire DVD collection consist of nothing else but Star Wars and sci-fi movies!

There's a book (probably out of print by now) called The Twelveth Planet by Zicharia Sytchen (sp) you might find interesting.

but those have some of the best special effects and surround sound

Check out the folloing websites:

http://www.sitchin.com

http://www.daniken.com

http://www.legendarytimes.com

All are pretty informative.

I have read seven of Zecariah Sitchin's books so far. The guy does his homework and reasearch like no other I have EVER seen. It is hard to refute some of his evidence. I have also read two of Erich Von Daniken's books as well.
Many may think you are nuts, but some find it hard to let go of beliefs, so in turn, they ridicule.

Thanks for the links.

But the question remains, why aliens have not chosen to reveal themselves to us at the present time, or in the remote past for that matter. Why do we not have any written records of alien contacts, if we are to believe the information on those sites? I would imagine that alien contact would be a pretty big deal, regardless of which time period you are from, whether it be the ancient past or the present. But why do we not have any written or even oral records of such contacts?

Are the aliens holding back contact with us because we are not "evolved" enough?

The Europeans certainly never had such intentions when they discovered the New World.

And I would think that the aliens' intentions would not all be benign. After all, we are a primitive species compared to species' that have mastered interstellar travel. What are they waiting for?

Anyways, just my thoughts.

Here's proof!
But' I feel tha other life form exist. There a a lot of other universes out there.

Personally, there few things more frustrating than watching one of those specials about ghosts or UFOs or Noah's Ark or Loch-ness Monster or Bigfoot and they spend all their time talking about it and interviewing people on sets but then there's NO GOOD FOOTAGE!!!

I'm a big Steven Hawking fan. I'm sort of with him on this topic. Chances are slim to none we'll ever see life from other galaxies, even if they does exist.

Think about it. How old is the earth? How long has man inhabited earth? Now, how long does it take light to reach earth from a visible star? How about another galaxy? That star you are looking at most likely does not exist. The odds of having another planet such as earth, with water, the proper atmosphere, and correct rotation around another star to support life is very slim. And whats even more improbably is that life supporting planet being close enough for contact with us - in mankinds lifetime, or in a hundred million years. Life may have existed on another planets in the Milky Way a billion years ago, but have since died out with black holes. When you think of the expanse of the universe, and the time line of it's existence, we are fools to think we'll ever encounter life from other solor systems or galaxies - at least in our lifetime.

I would imagine that alien contact would be a pretty big deal, regardless of which time period you are from, whether it be the ancient past or the present. But why do we not have any written or even oral records of such contacts?

Ancient past and the present are a nanosecond of time in the history of the universe.

Are the aliens holding back contact with us because we are not "evolved" enough?

Yes, that is it.

And I would think that the aliens' intentions would not all be benign. After all, we are a primitive species compared to species' that have mastered interstellar travel. What are they waiting for?

Interstellar travel? You are watching way too much Star Trek. I'm thinking micro-organisms, if anything at all, in other galaxies. Its awesome thinking about the age and size of our universe.

 

[HookedOnSound]

Aliens might exist I guess, heck look at us! what were the chances of our planet sustaining life? odds were slim for us but here we are! On a statistical scale, IMO alien life probably does exist, whether or not they have visited us is an entirely different matter!

The most alien thing that I have seen to date must be M1cheal Jacks0n. His picture/life gives me the creeps.

 

[GettinDegreez]

Aliens exist about as much as exotic cables that add new life to your systems, rocks you place on speakers to improve bass, and spray you put on CDs to draw out what was never there to begin with.

 

[Duffinator]

I always thought the X-Files TV show and movie Fight The Future were documentaries. There better be aliens out there otherwise I'm looking pretty silly dressing up as an alien every Halloween.

 

[furrycute]

Oh paleezzzz people, I never thought audioholics is this close minded about aliens.

Oh well, believe what you will, not believe what you will not (does that even make sense?). I'm outta here.


Like Mr. Spock always says, "live long and propser." And see you guys among the stars (I'm catching my next flight onboard the Galactica...)

Really, I'm serious.

 

[Matt34]

Is there alien life someone in the universe? I think an educated guess would be yes. To what degree?

Have they traveled here to earth and probed us. No

They would have to travel millions of lightyears away and even at the speed of light, which according to a pretty reliable source. , is as fast as it gets. It would take them thousands of years to get here......and then if they are that technologically advanced why even bother with our barbaric existance? What do we have to offer?

Lay off the sci-fi channel.

 

[furrycute]

It is true that as far as we know, the speed of light is the fastest there is in this universe.

But there are bound to be ways around this barrier. I just cannot fathom that we are meant to be stuck in this little corner of the universe forever.



An insignificant tiny little planet called earth. It's not like a habitable planet is to be found everywhere you go even in this galaxy. Over the eons, some galatic empires must have emerged. And like all earthbound empires, they are bound to seek expansion, and our earth is probably a pretty enticing object.

Well, what do I know. I'm just your average sci-fi nut.

 

[Buckeyefan 1]

Regarding the speed of light - But there are bound to be ways around this barrier.

No way, man. Einstein says no way.

I just cannot fathom that we are meant to be stuck in this little corner of the universe forever.

Man, you must get around. I have yet to visit Montana. Forever is a long time, and I'm pretty sure we'll be dust (along with earth) a long time before forever ends.

Over the eons, some galatic empires must have emerged. And like all earthbound empires, they are bound to seek expansion, and our earth is probably a pretty enticing object.

How big exactly is a galatic empire? That would be pretty tough to police, don't you think?

Heck, I'd just be happy to see an amoeba, algae, bacteria, plant cells, microscopic protozoa, or metazoa on Mars someday.

 

[furrycute]

What's up with all those rolling eyes?

Are those enough to satisfy your sarcasm-centricity?

 

[furrycute]

Einstein was a genius in his time, no doubt about it. But who knows what the future holds.

People used to believe Earth was the center of the universe. Then Sol was the center of the universe. The sonic barrier could never be broken.

Admittedly getting around the speed of light problem is much more difficult, will probably take hundreds of years, or thousands, or maybe even millions, to solve. But I hold the belief that we are not meant to be stuck on this third rock from the sun forever, or within a radius of several hundred light years of earth for that matter.

Maybe Homo sapiens will not be able to accomplish this goal. But we will try, that's what being human is all about. Maybe our descendents from the next stage, or the second next stage, or the third, and so fourth, stage of human evolution will be able to accomplish this. Or maybe they will not be able to.

But who cares, as long as we try. Or perhaps our lineage is doomed, and it will take a whole new species to accomplish this goal.

But whatever written records the distant future will have of Homo sapiens and our descendents will that we tried to crawl out of our cradle.
