Alien exists, but the distance in space are so enomous that it's unlikely we ever had/will have contact with someone from another planet. And even if we spot an inhabited planet in the near future, it might be the reflection of the light of thousands of years ago.
So yeah. Alien exists. Flying saucers are bullshit.
[QUOTE=npx190;32788323]Patall, observing what appears to be your first post, with all due respect, how do I know your actually from this Earth, and not from some far away Council taking a survey to see if Earth would be accepting to extra-terrestrial presence?
But in all seriousness, I kind of feel like some places that keep their mouths shut are hiding something, take the Apple corporation for example, and how their technical innovators seem to have shrunk stuff down in size a lot. The original ipod was real fat, but only had 1gb, then they kept on shrinking it in size, yet it grew internally, and with better quality. They did not teach me the names of those who came up with that engineering, and such a fast rate of engineering within a decade's time, really raised my suspicions of how some of this stuff has become a reality.
I doubt everyone is who they say they are, they may look human, but maybe aren't. I have seen some real good fake human skin get made in the movie industry and what not, to know its not too hard to walk around as a fake human, where no one seems to notice you. Although, I really would like to know how these unexplained air-crafts go undetected to the radars, and can immediately jump from the ground and accelerate 0-60 seconds in the sky, and at such higher rates of speed.[/QUOTE]

'natch that, submitted it. :v:
I'm pretty much 100% certain that there is other sentient life out there in this galaxy and any other. With such a huge expanse of space with billions of star systems, I'd find it extremely unusual not to find at least several other forms of life living out there.
What I don't agree with is the romantic notion that a) these species are humanoid or vaguely humanoid in appearance, and b) that they would want anything to do with us. We're disgustingly avaristic, destructive, arrogant creatures. If I were some scout from another civilization, and observed the planet's populace, I'd turn right back around.

I think we are amazing considering what all the other millions of species on this Earth have accomplished. The fact that we have the concept of science alone makes us pretty awesome. You're discriminating an entire species because of a couple of bad eggs. Not cool, man! :(
I am totally a believer after the Phoenix Lights, I missed the first sighting but the second one a few years ago I personally saw with my own eyes. Religion has held Western civilization back 1500 years and only 500 years after we began promoting science and individuality, we were able to get into space. Why is long distance space travel not possible?
I think that the Human race is so brilliant and stupid the same time that it makes people think there must be aliens amongst us.

Who cares what an alien who look like? I'm not saying I believe this, but they could have evolved here and moved away. But we won't be able shut up the alien believers until science gets to a point where we can say whether or not objects can travel faster than light.
Scientist are fascinated by the idea of bacteria on Mars. If you flew around the galaxy and the human race was the most intelligent race you could find, wouldn't you just accept it?
But if we are so bad, then why are we still standing?
It's hard to tell if there is life anywhere else, for now we know that most of the planets in our galaxy are lifeless. Well, I don't know about Mars. But there are alot more galaxies out there, thinking about other bodies of life in another galaxy creeps me out. What are they doing? Are they wondering if we exist? So many questions and so little time.

Galaxies are fucking enormous, who says there is no life in ours?
I really hate how people just pull this out of their asses.
Like the spore universe, they're probably everywhere, at varying levels of evolutionary development. I imagine bacteria would be the most prevalent forms of life.
Hell, there are probably more bacteria in the universe than there are stars.

Moon has no life, thats one thing. Pluto can't even have life. Mar's can have life, well had life. It's unknown,
[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;32840217]I am totally a believer after the Phoenix Lights[/QUOTE] But you have to ask yourself. Is aliens really the best answer to why there were lights in the sky? I mean why would aliens even turn on the lights to there craft and even if you don't know what the lights are knowing you don't know is way less of a faith jump then saying the only good explanation is that they are alien space craft from another planet.
It is nearly mathematically improbable that there is no other life in the Universe, intelligent or not.

Now seriously. I believe there are planets, wich had the same fate as Earth. Would not suprise me if one day in the future we found, or someone else found lifeforms on another planet.
I also believe, that the reason of our life is the Big Bang. This was caused by a sun exploding (Will happen to us in ? years, no source, sorry.)
The sun brought with it a couple of planets and crushed them to smitherines. Maybe, a civilisation origined on one of those planets? Maybe some cells and bacterias from those planets survived, and when the meteors struck earth life started to form? I don't [i]know[/i], but somewhere I think it's that way.
Over 80 billion galaxies similar to our own.There's definitely life forms out there,And they could be intelligent too.
They're probably real. I mean, if you think about the sheer size of the universe and all the things in it that we've yet to explore, there's bound to be another planet that can support life.
Statistics and science would seem to be on the side of "there be aliens". It's entirely possible that other carbon based life evolved on a planet with similar conditions to Earth, or on drastically different ones...even if they are just thermophile microbes. And that doesn't even count non-carbon based organisms or even inorganic life.
Have they visited Earth? No. Not in a thousand years, and I mean that somewhat literally. Not only are we a fairly backwater planet (we're in a weird place in the galaxy), but why visit a planet with sentient life? Why not just observe from orbit (or, better yet, far, far away)? If they [B]had[/B] visited the Earth, history would clearly have had a much larger impact. Why just set down a bit and then leave? Wouldn't an alien race come in greater numbers, or act in some more...obvious ways? If they have visited Earth, and I sincerely doubt that any alien life has even come near our solar system, it was probably a few thousand years ago, far before we had the skill and knowledge to detect them.
[QUOTE=Oppenheimer;32809368]What do you guys think of the 'Dome of the Rock UFO' ?[/QUOTE]
My take on it is that footage #1 #2 and #4 are real, while footage #3 (with american woman speaking in the background, and without the flash before takeoff) is faked and spread as disinformation. That's how they always do - mix truth with lies, which makes it extremely hard to find the real deal.
The 3 probably real ones, compared and synced: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggzl8z9Csho[/url]

How so?
I firmly believe that aliens don't exist. There's no proof supporting their existence.

So you're basically saying that we [I]must[/I] be the only species of significant* life in the entire Universe, just because there is no proof?
*More evolved then single-celled organisms, mostly more like plants, bugs, etc. at the minimum
There is no way we are the only intelligent lifeforms in the galaxy. However, if there is a civilization capable of coming to our planet, it seems like the only reason to come here is to conquer us. It'd cost too much in terms of resources, at least the way we know them. If anyone is capable and willing to come here, they are probably capable and willing to kill us all for our world. I'd rather not picture alien life as a super-advanced, Geth-like race that exterminates all that cross their path, but it's pretty much impossible that they'd be benevolent space monks.

If we discover evidence that there are other intelligent life forms out there, I'm all for it. But all the available evidence points to us being alone.
Well in that case we may never find proof, because the closest form of life I described could be millions of lightyears away, or just far away enough for us not to notice.
Same goes to the other species. They would be in the same situation, so how would they know we're here? (The more intelligent ones)
By the time an alien species would find us and try to make contact, humanity may already be gone, and they'd only find ruins.
[QUOTE=Jookia;32868784]If we discover evidence that there are other intelligent life forms out there, I'm all for it. But all the available evidence points to us being alone.[/QUOTE]What evidence is there that we are alone? So far statistics are on the side that we aren't.

From what we've explored, we've only found one intelligent species -- us. Also, statistics aren't evidence.
