Aliens

Aki · 10-12-2004

I heard that a long time ago, like maybe 40 years ago, an alien spacecraft crashed onto the Earth. It has been said that most of the aliens on the spacecraft died, but there was a survivor. Does anyone know anymore detail?

Tormod · 10-13-2004

Yes. You probably mean the Roswell incident 1947. One of the big hoaxes of all time.

Here is a very interesting article about it from the Skeptical Inquirer:

Thanks Tormod, that's the thing I was talking about. I didn't know what it was called.

Aki · 10-13-2004

Do you really believe in that article, that no extraterrial spacecraft was involved?

Tormod · 10-13-2004

Well, let's put it the other way round: I don't believe an extraterrestrial spacecraft has ever crashed on Earth.

What value would there bo to alien visitation, as is typically presented by UFOers? We are a small non-descript planet circling a medium to small sun on the outer arm of our galaxy. What about us would draw attention?

OK, there is the chance some unintended galactic voyage would go astray and we would arbitrarily wind up the crash site. But the chances of that? Esp with all of the much more massive gravitational bodies immediately surrounding us.

What of intentional visitation as UFOers like to promote? To do what? To "probe" us with what would seem antiquated instraments? Any species far enough advanced to make the trip would be far from that backwards in medical technology.

For these and many other reason, it just does not make good sense.

Well some people say aliens are the people from the future, and they have traveled back in time to see us.

Uncle Martin · 10-14-2004

Alot of people "think" alot of nonsense. There is no evidence that aliens have ever visited Earth or that people from the future have traveled back in time to see us. Unless you have some evidence you wish to share with us that is.

I personnaly believe there is (intelligent) extraterestrial life; Even if the chances for life to evolve are extremely small, the universe is so incredibly huge that only 1 life-spawning event seems imho quite rediculous.

I am also convinced no aliens have ever visited earth. For the simple reason: Why would you travel a zillion light years -notice that the technology to do so is waaaaaaay advanced; so if you do that you're probably very smart!- to come to this planet and then
1) Get captured by some George Bush wannabe? (i dont think any sensible person would capture an alien....)
2) Make nice pictures in crop fields?
3) remove the rectum of a cow?
.....
