Honestly i believe UFO'S and aliens do exist and that they have visitede us hete on earth.

It would be very strange if only this planet called earth was populated.

How about you? What do you believe or think of the UFO/Alien topic?

Why is it so "scary" to admit that they might exist?
Space travel is hard.
Distances are vast.
It's time consuming.

I speculate that aliens are real.
But have they been here?
The difficulties make that extraordinarily unlikely.

Odd...you believe in unevidenced alien visitors,
but you don't believe the massive amount of
evidence that we landed men on the Moon.
You're a weird guy....but interesting.

I kind of think it would be cool if they warped me up, and then gave me super intelligence or abilities, and then deposited me painlessly back down here again. Or, if they made me a king of a planet, or made me immortal, and told me I could join them forever on their star-trekish explorations.

I suppose anything is possible, but can't really say for certain.

Personally, I find nothing scary about it myself.

Religionists might be scared at the prospect, since it could mean they might have to admit they've been wrong all these thousands of years. The idea of aliens would be a threat to organized religion.

It could also be a threat to world governments and other powerful figures, since they would no longer be the biggest fish in the pond. It would be a great blow to their ego.

There is the very real possibility that faster-than-light
travel is impossible. If so, the speed at which the
universe is expanding, & the great distances between
planets that might host technological life could make
visiting aliens utterly impossible.
Still, we might find them using remote sensing tools.
This strikes me as the most cost-effective & interesting
form of space exploration.

Small but significant point; The "U" in UFO means unidentified. UFOs undeniably exist, though many are subsequently identified (often found to not be flying and/or objects too). If you're proposing the idea of piloted alien spacecraft, you should really say so. Calling that "UFOs" is just misleading, since even if such a thing did exist, it wouldn't be an explanation for all UFO sightings.

It would be very strange if only this planet called earth was populated.
I suspect it isn't but that is a long, long way away from alien species being willing and able to travel here and there is no good reason to assume that is the case. After all, there has been life on Earth for millions of years and we've not even been able to arrange manned travel beyond our own moon.

How about you? What do you believe or think of the UFO/Alien topic?
I think it's a whole mass of speculation and wishful thinking influenced infinitely more by science fiction than science fact.

It is not scary to say they might not exist:)

Maybe the trace are here, but humans looking at it in a wrong way?
Nobody can rule that out, but just think about it. Interstellar travel takes hundreds of years, to reach another planet that supports life. Why would anyone try it?

We are already seriously questioning whether we need bother to send men and women to Mars, given how good robot vehicles are becoming. And we can get to Mars in months.

Even with a robot explorer, one would have to send it off and wait a couple of hundred years - at least - before it got anywhere interesting. And then it would take years more to send back any information it collected.

They might have already shown their technology here, since the 1950's technology has rissen more than any time before on earth so in 70 year more technology has come on earth than billion of years before. That sound Un natural
How do you measure that? I'm not convinced it is true. The big breakthroughs in construction, energy transmission, transport and life expectancy all took place getting on for a century ago, or even longer.

I imagine one would try to find other habitable planets if their own planet became intolerable in some way.

I've heard of possible scenarios that might be tried if our own planet was in mortal danger - at least as a chance at survival for the human species. We could load up a ship of thousands of human embryos placed in suspended animation, with a super computer to control the ship and take care of the embryos until they reach a habitable planet. It might take hundreds or even thousands of years, and it's a huge longshot as it is. But if we're doomed anyway, it might the only chance at species survival.

I believe the same.

It would be very strange if only this planet called earth was populated.

I think it's daft to think that human beings are the only intelligent life forms that exist in our galaxy, let alone in the estimated two billion stars in the Milky Way and the immeasurable vastness of outer space. Our planetary system is the only one officially called a “solar system,” but more than 3,200 other stars with planets orbiting them in our galaxy have been discovered by astronomers. In light of these factors, it doesn't seem possible to me that humans are all alone in our galaxy, let alone in the rest of outer space.

How about you? What do you believe or think of the UFO/Alien topic?

I genuinely believe that there is intelligent life on other planets, and extraterrestrial beings have visited our planet in the past and present. First, I believe intelligent life from another planet visits Earth because I've had two first-hand UFO sightings myself in my lifetime. The first sighting I had was in the Fall of 1994, and it was witnessed by multiple people in the same area. The second UFO sighting I've had was in January 2021, while I was 36,000 feet in the air on a Southwest flight from Alabama to Dallas. The only other witness to this sighting was my husband, but we didn't alert the flight crew or the other passengers. We were concerned that it might cause a panic on the plane, and we were 36,000 feet in the air. Neither my husband nor I thought that was a good idea.

Ironically, I had asked an airline employee if he had had any UFO sightings before I boarded this flight, and he told me that he was forbidden to discuss the topic with passengers, but he said he would discuss it with me if I gave him my word that I wouldn't report him, and I guaranteed him that I wouldn't. He told me he wanted to discuss his UFO sighting with me because we are both UFO enthusiasts. I told him of my first UFO encounter, which at the time was my only one. I also asked him if I could share his story with others, and he said I could as long as I didn't mention his name, and of course, I agreed. During the course of our conversation, he told me that the strict policy of not talking about a UFO sighting applied to all airline employees, including the pilots and flight crew. He further emphasized that this policy wasn't normally acknowledged by other airline employees, and it was implemented shortly after the 2006 O'Hare International Airport UFO sighting. He sheepishly grinned when he told me that the other airline employees he knew were embarrassed to talk about the policy and feared being mocked by other people. I told him that made sense to me.


Long story short, the two UFO sightings that I've seen with my own eyes (and witnessed by others) are why I believe aliens exist and visit Earth. Personally, I think the evidence I've seen for their existence is substantial enough for me to believe it. My belief is partly based on a few of the documentaries I've seen, especially The Phenomenon (2020). It's further based on the credible eyewitness accounts, such as former presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, the 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO incident, the 2006 O'Hare International Airport UFO sighting, and the UFO footage released by the Pentagon. There are also the aboriginal "Wandjina" ("The Sky Beings") cave paintings in Kimberley, Australia, which are believed to depict ancient aliens. Look at the cave painting below.

Why is it so "scary" to admit that they might exist?

I think the reality of aliens from other planets existing and having visited our world would be an earth-shattering experience for a lot of people. And that's why I believe that the American public is slowly being acclimatized into accepting some level of disclosure on UFOs from the government. I think a disclosure of this magnitude would be emotionally devastating and petrifying to the vast majority of Americans. It would cause a massive, widespread panic and perhaps even an economic collapse. It might cause some people to take their lives or riot in the streets. An immediate disclosure would also cause a serious crisis of faith for many religious people, especially fundamentalist Christians. The revelation that extraterrestrials actually exist would turn the Christian Church on its head. Considering the risk of causing economic devastation and mass hysteria, I think government officials are wise to release small quantities of declassified information to the American public relating to their knowledge of UFOs and alien life forms.

Yes perhaps. But are they all here, then? :eek:

I mean, we all know a few people who make us think, "Christ! They've landed!"

UFOs do exist. Often, they are subsequently identified. And aliens likely exist, although they would be single-celled creatures in most cases. But neither of those facts translate to a probable visit from intelligent life capable of crossing great distances.

For those who like trivia, UFO in Spanish is OVNI: Objeto volador no identificado (this happens with a lot of common abbreviations: AIDS becomes SIDA, and DNA becomes ADN due to changing word order of nearly identical words). I put UFO, AIDS, and DNA into an English to Norwegian translator to see if they were different in your native language. It gave me back UFO and DNA, and hjelpemidler for AIDS, which I suspect is not the disease but related to the English word aid as in first aid due to the syllable that looks like English help. But when I translated them into French,I got the same variations as in Spanish (OVNI, SIDA, and ADN)

It's terrifying. I can't explain why, but I need to stop thinking about it immed.. (screams out in terror for not stopping sooner). Sorry.

I think it's daft to think that human beings are the only intelligent life forms that exist in our solar system

Did you mean galaxy or universe? It is pretty certain that there is no other intelligent life in our solar system other than that here on earth.

All other life in our solar system are obviously rather dumb, or not as we would want to meet, given that humans have bagged the best planet. :D

I think there is other life in the universe but it would take an incredibly advanced race of aliens to actually visit earth.

I think the distances, even to the closest system, is unfathomable to traverse, much less communicate.
