Aliens Poll

Recent activity in the Aliens thread probably justifies this poll. I offered a few other options to identify some differing views...

Option 2 is supposed to also imply "and there's no other life in the universe" but the poll mechanism doesn't like long options....

I'm definitely in the is intelligent life but hasn't visited us. We're way too boring to bother visiting...

Cheers,
Buffy

Re: Aliens Poll

actually we are amazingly funny, and strange inhabitents to this crazy world we have completely changed. i would find us so amusing if i was an alien, especially since i would know nothing about us...we would be so weird. i voted for There's intelligent life in the universe but they've never visited Earth.

True. But only if they bothered to watch enough television. "Lucy! You've got some 'splainin' to do!" I've always wondered what they'd gleen from all our pop culture....

Re: Aliens Poll

Our universe is infinite in size, I don't see why can't more species with intelligence living in somewhere in the universe.

Re: Aliens Poll

Actually the universe as we know it is finite, but with a wide range of plausible factors plugged into the Drake equation, there certainly should be LOTS of intelligent species out there...

Cheers,
Buffy

There is intelligent life elsewhere, but the question is how much.

Probably would be something out there akin to say a certain Science Fiction spoof on ST with some race thinking we had all this great tech they could use. If they actually watched everything as far as Pop culture goes I think they'd find us creatures of great imagination. Limited as we are we dare to dream beyond our limits. They also might find us a threat of sorts. Because hidden in every dream of imagination one finds the seeds of both potential greatness and distruction. To get a better answer one only needs to view the human equation from outside the box a bit. How would you judge the human race youself. Personally, I'd find them interesting enough to want to study a bit. We find other lower creatures interesting enough to study why wouldn't they. But its more the motives behind the study I would question myself.

Smile Re: Aliens Poll

I've been twice in my life while serving with the DoD witness to what the public calls UFO sightings. One was documented and seen out in Arizona back in 83. I knew then what we had and those things whatever they are where not ours. They show up on radar, they show up visually which means they do exist. What they are and how they move one can only speculate at. God only knows we could use some of what they have if their origin is from out there. But, I'd also say that not everything reported in UFO circles is a real case of an honest UFO. Some of it is human imagination getting the best of people.

The ones I saw in 83 did move at lot faster than anything we have. They visually seemed to be able to appear and disappear. But when you honestly examined the time between such their unseen motion rather fits the laws we do know. I'd term that more in line with an ability to hide or go real stealth mode as far as the visual goes. They can also do that on radar too. I was at one point about 100 yards from one of those things. It was glowing metal of some type as far as the hull goes. It reflected radar like metal also. What it was I still do not know and probably never will. But it existed and was real and solid. It flew like a craft under control far better than any pilot on this planet could fly in the craft's we have. In short, I'm convinced we've been visited. But it took being there to fully convince me. If I'd never seen one I be in the majority camp here based upon other scientific evidence. But hard to argue with what one has seen and witnessed personally. I however have kept at trying to find a scientific explination for such. I think one does exist.

Re: Aliens Poll

The radar part I verified with some friends on the base itself after the event. The rest I witnessed first hand. I also had friends who worked with the top secret experimental craft we had at the time(that includes the developing stealth aircraft still kept at bases like Groom Lake then). I discribed the sighted crafts to them directly. From what I knew we had at the time and from what they knew we had at the time back in 83 these things where not ours.
