I heard one person state "It was big! It was, uh as big as a wal mart!" Hahaha! Interesting frame of reference. I wonder if it was a super wal mart or a regular one. I don't know, but I think something is happening out there....

I don't know what to think!!!!

The military have created a saucer shaped flying machine just to stir up trouble like this

J/k, but I do honestly believe there is a superior race out there. That's why they haven't been caught yet

Lilly Ivy, that makes since. I cant imagine with all the billions of planets and what not that we are the only ones alive in the Universe...thats kind of egocentric I think. There are bound to be all different types of beings in zillions of different galaxies..

I don't believe any of it simply because I do not have the inflated ego, the audacity, or the arrogance to assume that aliens would EVER want to visit Earth. I just plain don't believe in aliens visiting our planet, plain and simple, period N-o. The chances of such a thing happening are astronomically small - so small that it should not even seriously be considered a possibility by sane people.

Then again, the people who believe in aliens, and crop circles, and how the world is going to end in 2012 (or any other year), and Nessie the Loch Ness monster, and bigfoot are the same exact people who believe Bush planted bombs in the WTC's and purposely caused 9/11. These are all conspiracy theories, every single one of them, and their strength lies ONLY in the fact that you can never 100% prove they are NOT true. Doesn't mean they aren't a bunch of hooey - they are. But if you can't absolutely prove them wrong, then a small part of the population will still believe, even flying in the face of logic. Elvis is still alive, the pyramids were built by aliens, and Kennedy was shot by someone on the grassy knoll.

Why are you such a doubting Thomas?

Because I'm a realist. *shrug* I base my life on known observations, not fanatical speculation.

Because she knows everything, Heather. How dare you doubt!

Because I'm a realist. *shrug* I base my life on known observations, not fanatical speculation.

I am far from all-knowing. I simply don't speculate wildly with the knowledge I do have.

I admit that I know very little about what's out there, but I think it's too egotistical to imagine that we are the only ones and that everything fed to us via the media and the political pipeline is the truth. I don't rule out anything as a possiblility. IT's funny we have the same reasoning, but just different outcomes!

Hay, as far as I am concerned anything is possible...WAIT!!! OMG!!!! THERES ELVIS!!!! just kidding, it was just Jesus...

I hardly think we're the only intelligent thing in the entire universe. PLEASE. Again, I'm not egotistical and never claimed we are the only intelligent things out here; just that OTHER intelligent beings have no business in our corner of the cosmos. I mean that our particular solar system, even the Milky Way itself, is far from spectacular as far as universal truck stops go. Try Andromeda. It's far bigger and shinier.

I used to believe something along those lines, Eiri, (although not quite as doubting, lol!) until NASA actively began searching for other Earth-like (capable of sustaining life) planets and found the search so difficult. In other words, the reason I believe aliens would be interested in our planet is simply because there are not very many planets like ours, relatively speaking.

That's why the word 'theory' is in conspiracy theory.

I watched part of something on them finding A LOT of planets out there, and apparently ours is still the only one with H2O on it, so we assume nothing can live without it. Plus the ones they have found spin incredibly fast, either because they are still young or too old, can't remember which.

I do agree with 'why would the WANT to visit us?' We're almost constantly at war amongst ourselves, no one gets a long. It's like a really messed up ant farm if you ask me...

P.S. Homerx, you're funny!! Elves don't exist except for in D&D and WoW, and of course in my dreams. and in latex eartips

That is by far the ONLY logical explanation I've ever heard for UFO's!

Assuming "they" have similar observation techniques as us, we can assume they are also scanning the skies for planets with water.

rotf lmao O i can just picture the person saying that. I was laughing to hard to tell my husband what i was laughing at

Thanks ,Lilly Ivy ...and I think your right, a messed up ant farm really describes whats going on on this planet!

There's got to be intelligent life out there, if only based on mathematics. Aren't there millions of galaxies? How many planets does that represent??? How many would be occupied by an intelligent being of some kind?

I cannot believe that WE are it. There's no way humans represent the best of the best in this great expanse of space. To me, that's the height of egoism: "all powerful, all mighty man, ugh! we must be the only intelligent life form."

Obviously, I'm no scientist but I've often wondered if our "laws" of physics and nature would even apply in another galaxy?

Are "They" visiting us? Who knows. If they are it's probably for a big laugh.

Thats what I was saying to a friend the other day, if they are watching then we have got to be a joke to them!
