Re: Aliens Poll

I would think that any time a UFO is sighted, a great deal of inquiry ensues.
All of these sightings as of now are in the ''we don't know'' category. Given the vast number of planets and moons in the universe, I would say anything is possible, but the facts are that there is no HARD proof of space ships or extraterrestrial beings. If it eventually occurs that there are ET's, we better hope that they are friendly..What about the SETI project?

Wouldn't you think if there are ET's visiting earth, they would pick up on our signals or broadcast their own?

You could think it but you would be wrong, there a couple of private UFO investigator organizations and they are very limited but nothing else.

Yes that is true but no further investgation is being done on new sightings or on the old.

SETI doesn't have anything to do with UFOs and as I have said before hard proof is highly unlikely. About as likely that a primitive tribe in the amazon would find a crashed F-22 Raptor, it's possible but not likely.

It's very possible they could hide their communications from us if they wanted to, laser pulse communication would be the easiest way to do this and lasers are better than radio waves. I'm sure they can pick up our signals and if we picked up theirs it would be unlikely we would necessarily recognize them as alien. Only signals originating far from the Earth would be suspect and very few receivers could tell this anyway.

On the investigators, have you looked at any of Linda Howe's work MoonTer?

>> Earthfiles.com Headline News

She covers all the usual 'out there' stuff, but she did go down and do interviews in Texas after that Stevensville flap a few months ago and publish reports on her page.

If there are visitors from outer space, what do you think we should do about it?
All you have to go on for a black hole are second hand observations which may have another natural explanation. The philosophical debates aside, everything has a natural explanation. If there are visitors from outer space we ought to investigate those natural phenomena. If some UFO's are electrical effects, we ought to do likewise, and if it's optical, the same, and yada yada yada human curiosity, exploration, and application of the scientific method to who-laid-the-chunk.

Re: Aliens Poll

The Turtleiser is correct. I can remember UFO sightings back in the 50's. Lots of publicity, no proof.

There have UFO sightings from a lot further back than 1950. The battle of LA at the start of WW 2, 1898 Aurora Texas mystery airship. There are medieval paintings that depict UFOs, Alexander the Great told of instances where shining metal shield flew down from the sky, once they buzzed and frightened his troops and animals. another time they broke down the walls of a city Alexander was laying siege to. An Egyptian Pharaoh reported a series of UFO sightings. Still no proof but enough anecdotal evidence to make it seem worth while to investigate. As I said lots of sighting do not conform to lights in the sky, swamp gas, hoax type events.

Re: Aliens Poll

There is the battle raging on for us to choose. They are good aliens and bad ones. The good angels(aliens) are part of the Galactic Federation of Light formed lightyears before our first human ancestors adam and eve were a thought. The Darkness is the government in this country. The Bush Administration are the dark ones led by Satan. They are shapeshifters(reptilians).

You make some interesting claims, can you back any of them with facts?

Re: Aliens Poll

Are the aliens made of the same chemical compounds that we are made of, or are there mysterious space elements we have not discovered? Are the UFO's made of elements of which we are unaware? If they are made of compounds we are aware of, do they not have to obey the same physical laws concerning speed, weight, mass, melting point, G-forces and other issues faced by our own space travelers? If they are made of the same known elements, and subject to the same universal physical laws, wouldn't it be impossible for them to behave in flight like they have been reported to do?
