This has always been an interesting topic for me. There are plenty of "sightings" which would lead one to believe that there are. Heck, I even remember going up to the "Heights" in West Frankfort after getting a Dairy Queen ice cream cone and looking at the sky with my Mom and Dad.

I always felt that if the aliens had been around they were pretty damn good at picking up after themselves. You would think that after all of these years they would have left some trash that the Govt couldn't cover up.

Truly though - the largest sighting that makes me wonder is the "Belgian Wave" some years back. It was thoroughly tracked and the Belgians don't have a veil of secrecy like our government seems to.

To be honest, it always p!sses me off that our government tends to make fun of our own citizens who see unexplained things - these are folks (make funner uv ers) that would not have a job without us taxpayers.

Example: Ted who is out camping sees a bright light - getting brighter - coming right at him. Ted has been out in the woods many times before. He knows where Mars is, where Orion is and where the moon should be. He is flippantly told that he saw Swamp Gas. Well I don't know about you - but I know what swamp gas is - and it ain't a ball of light in the air at 6000 feet. So doesn't Ted at least deserve to be taken seriously? Maybe he saw a meteorite. But he shouldn't be made fun of.
 
Considering the huge vastness of space, and all of the things in it, I doubt that we are the only "intelligent" life that exists.
However, also considering that huge vastness of space it is quite possible that we might never have contact with other intelligent life - even if it has superior technology.
I agree that you'd think that it would be impossible for any government or persons to be able to completely suppress evidence of extraterrestrials who might have visited. But I suppose given enough resources and flim-flam it's possible. People see and record unexplainable things... at least unexplainable using honest logic and our understanding of physics et. al.

Certainly some people see things that appear extraterrestrial but aren't. You're right that they should be taken seriously and not made fun of. Unfortunately it's easier for some people to deny what they fear and don't understand, than it is for them to open their minds. Sometimes its the witnesses who need to realize that they're wrong. I try to remind myself that there's a lot out there than I know about, but also that my eyes and ears can deceive me. So I don't mind things that make you go hmmmm.... but I try not to assume they're either unexplainable or not until I can get scientific facts. So in other words I am receptive to possibilities, but I won't believe until there's real proof.
 
Personally, I think we are aliens who were brought here looooonnnnngg ago.

It would be arrogant to think we are the only intelligent life in The Universe.
 
They are highly intelligent, stealth and hard to detect.

When they broke into my home and stole my originals, they replaced them all with exact replicas to avoid detection.
 
Yeah, they're out there. With such a large number of sightings over the years AT LEAST one has to be true.

Yeah...they are smart ;).

I really does make one wonder though. Our Gov't. is great at hiding things, but the "Belgian Wave and Rendlesham Forrest and Shag Harbour and some others are well documented. So one would think - wow- they really do exist! Then you have to wonder why we don't have firm evidence. I mean look at all the stories and legends that were made up about Dragons and Giants when they didn't know that the fossils/bones they were seeing were from Dinosaurs and Mammoths. Humans are naturally great story tellers (and great maker uppers).:p

Can you imagine what you (and your friends) would think if you lived out in the "wild" - with no ambient light - stars as bright as they can be - and the Perseid Meteor shower came along one night? You would think it was the show of all shows and have no idea how to explain it.

2014 Meteor Showers
The next meteor shower is the Perseids on the nights of August 11 and 12
The just-past-full Moon will overpower most fireworks displays - if you are in an area that can see it clearly.

The most frustrating thing to me are the photos of the sightings. Hundreds upon hundreds of blurry out of focus bull **** pictures. With all the technology we have today you would think somebody could get a clear photo or a video that is not jumping all over the damn place and out of focus. Until then, I say Bull **** on the whole deal.

I kind of like what DUN24 wrote: quote - Personally, I think we are aliens who were brought here looooonnnnngg ago.

That statement makes more sense than a lot I have read and heard.
 
Probably, but as Stephan Hawking says, if they come to us we are all probably going to die.

If they were going to 'visit', I feel like they would have before we started destroying the place. Nobody intergalactically wants any of this ****.



..Unless we are like a science project, how far can we go before we self-destruct.

That's what I've always thought. The creator looks down and think's "what the hell are those idiots doing now"?

I was thinking it might be the other way around. Since we are somewhat aggressive/combative by nature it may be that the experiment is to see how long it takes earthlings to achieve world peace.

Lieutenant Zorg to Captain Xeus: "The earthlings have achieved world peace, and earlier than we expected."

Capt. Xeus: "Excellent Zorg...record the time and prepare the death ray to sterilize the planet of all life to get ready for our next experiment."

(so maybe we better just keep fightin ;))

We ARE self-destructing.
As vast as space is believed to be, it would be ludicrous to assume that we are the only planet with life. IMO, it would be equally absurd to surmise that we are among the most intelligent of life forms.
 
I think there are aliens, I believe they visited mankind a long time ago and helped things along

Heck yes!! they even live amongst us. I may even know 1 or 2 of them...
 
With more than 1 septillion (trillions upon trillions) estimated planets in the universe, the odds of Earth inhabitants being the only intelligent life in the universe is practically zero.

Care to elaborate? I have nothing against your stance but science contends that my stance is true. The odds are just way too small that we are alone. It would be akin to flipping a coin a couple trillion times and having it land on tails every time; odds of that happening are possible, but are practically zero.
 
Obviously, no one can know for sure, but it sure seems to me that if the universe is indeed as vast as scientists say it is, then it would be only reasonable to assume that there is other life out there in one form or another. Whether or not it is smarter than us, I can't say. It seems like it would have to be, with the issues that we struggle with today, but I really don't know.

Why is this in "Grin & Bare It Bar and Grill" anyway? Does anybody know?
 
Yes there are "aliens." Not sure if that is what they should be called.
I believe someone was here before us. Where did they go? Are they extinct or did they simply leave?
 
I believe there are other planets in the universe that are inhabited, but, the vast, and I mean the "VAST" incomprehensible mind numbing distances involved between them, supports the realization, that we will never see or go to any of them.
 
I watch Discovery and History channels and always wonder how ancient civilizations moved stones weighting up to hundreds of tons many miles yet left no record of how they were moved. Or the accuracy in cutting stones with primitive hand tools that duplicating the accuracy would be extremely difficult even with todays CMC machines. Also the accuracy in how monuments were positioned in relationship to the stars and planets.
Are they out there?

Puma Punku and Gobekli Tepe come to mind.

Help an old man out Bobby, what or who are or is: "Puma Punku and Gobekli Tepe"

Puma Punku is the ancient site in Bolivia with the intricate masonry work.

Gobekli Tepe is in Turkey. Not as intricate with the stonework but also mysterious.

One theory is that they were able to levitate and mold these stones using sound waves.
Supposedly you can make the stone soft and pliable with the correct tone and frequencies.
Other theories are that the mixed specific plant juices together and applied it to the stones in order to soften them.

That makes sense to me
 
The thing that makes me wonder is the vast distances. I mean let's get real, I worked at Lockheed-Martin and was friends with an orbital engineer/scientist. He said you can actually do the math on stuff between the Sun and Jupiter - but after that they are basically "hoping" that the calculations work.

So the really good guys at this stuff (not the dreamers)...can only figure out things to Jupiter. That is about halfway out of our solar system...and our solar system is just a small part of the Milky Way Galaxy...and there are a bunch of other Galaxies to boot.

Hmmm....we got work to do if we are gonna figure this whole "Universe" thing out.
