These are the most commonly sighted:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_aliens - These have been claimed to have been spotted by military personnel over nuclear bases. Large, human-like beings. Blonde hair, blue eyes.

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_alien

My question to all of you is if you have spotted beings or aliens like the above? ...or maybe not alike at all?

Nope, but there's certainly some odd balls on this forum.

Well, no.

Did you?

I wish.

Careful what you wish for.

"Pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'cause there's bugger all down here on Earth." -- The Galaxy Song

I've encountered machine elves... friendly little guys they are

a little bit off topic but have you seen the recent developments in warp drives?

http://blogs.discovery.com/.a/6a00d8341bf67c53ef017ee3bf9830970d-800wi

NASA is working on it, an engine that compresses space in front of the ship, and extends it behind.  Actually standing still, 0 G, space around it moving at max 10 times the speed of light.  It can travel....far!  google!


People who don't believe in extraterrestrial life are dumb, even people who have limited themselves to "their might be microbes out there", retards...fucking retards.
 all imaginable and unimaginable things like highly evolved intelligent life with space/time and dimensional travel possibilities are out there.
We are sending so much radio frequencies into space, which travel at the speed of light, so our current cosmic footprint is now about 70 lightyears in diameter, there are 200 billion stars in the galaxy which spreads over 100,000 lightyears.
I punch those numbers into my calculator and it says our crappy TV shows have reached alot of stars allready.
If we can evolve from rock throwers to warp drive engines in a few thousand years i can't imagine what could be out there.
We have found numerous earth like planets, glise 581 C being the closest on 20 lightyears, which is....really fucking close.
NASA's warp drive would take 2 years to go there.
I think our biggest handicap as a spieces is religion, we need to fix (eliminate) that before we go into space.
The space age has not begun yet! but is imminent.

Wait 5 April 2063 for the first flight of a warp capable ship

I met an alien once. His name was Steve. That's what he said. He asked me for 10 bucks because he needed some gas for his space scooter, which I gave to him.

I must have his business card around here somewhere. Ah there it is! Never called him.

His number's 555-29856921837621389569823756329569872315621398573265978325923865328957623897562387956287195682796592876598768752

It's that long because he uses some prepaid service that forwards calls from Betelgeuse to Pegasus 51 at favourable rates.

Tell him goodlord666 said "Hi" and if he was to ever come around the vicinity of bypass 2938752379-B, I'd like my towel back, thanks.

Let's just ignore the fact that in all of human history not one time has this been documented to happen. For whatever reason, the aliens choose to only contact fringe element weirdos who believe in them. one would think they would contact scientists. ::)

I'm quite sure it's been documented throughout time.

UFO's are also recorded by NASA and seen by alot of Pilots and astronauts.  Alot of them are probably scared to speak out because they fear people will  "::)" at them and end up loosing their job.
The point you are addressing is a sad reality though,  more valuable sightings are overshadowed by a swarm of hoaxes and weirdo-reports.

http://www.disclosureproject.org/ (http://www.disclosureproject.org/)

Sorry, but it's just not true. Sure people see UFO's all the time (unidentified flying object). But not one single time in all of history did it turn out to be a spaceship from another planet. Not one single time in all of science has a living thing been found anyplace but Earth.
As a scientist myself I don't discount the possibility that a ship could land tomorrow. It may even be likely that life exists elsewhere. But I also operate on evidence. There has never been any evidence of such a thing. Evidence is not a blurry photo or a crackpot website.

Over 400 sane military personnel are willing to testify to the existence of aliens under oath.

What is your opinion of the Wow! signal? Do you find the water oceans of Europa to be more interesting than the deserts of Mars? Do you find the ongoing research to analyze the light spectrums of transiting planets fascinating? Do you think Maccone's FOCAL mission might ultimately answer the age old question?

If we're the only intelligent life in the universe, there's an awful lot of wasted space. I don't necessarily think they've been here, but it almost definitely exists somewhere.

Why has nobody (reliable) seen aliens.

Just imagine, you are on a spaceship travelling through space then you notice a potential planet for having live. You come closer, it's a green planet with plenty of water. Live definitely exist. Just before you land you do the routine scan.

You shipmate says to you: "The planed hast 8 Billion intelligent beings on a industrial level. They seem to just have invented cryptocurrency."

You: "Well awesome, lets land!"

He: "They are 8 Billion, but they have build enough thermonuclear weapon to kill 50 Billion."

Well if that's not a big "leave us alone sign", than what is?

Now your talking real science. Of course the wow signal was not conclusive but a project like SETI is a sensible approach. Looking for radio waves may make it possible to locate civilizations light years away.
Another strategy is to look for  Earth like planets. This seems flawed to me however. Having only one example of life, -(all living things are just variations of the DNA molecule, and really the same living thing)- we don't know if it is typical or very exotic. Perhaps most life in space exists in stars or in the frozen depths of deep space. We don't know because we have never seen another form of life, ever.

You just made Jodie Foster fall in love with you.

I haven't met aliens, but I've met 'other beings'. They still can be seen in remote places where no one goes, mainly woods and mountains. For example, if you go to a forest at night, you may be fortunate enough to see a fairy for a brief moment. There are also other beings, but I'm not sure what they're called in English. Some are pretty dangerous though.

Come, visit this part of the world and maybe you'll see some of them.

which part of the world are you referring to?

Anyone who is interested in the possibility of alien life and has a few hours to spare should definitely watch this documentary:

a more scientific approach of narrowing down the possibility of extra terrestrial life;

The famous Drake equation

---

• N

= the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;

• R*

= the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy

• ƒp

= the fraction of those stars that have planets

• ne

= the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets

• ƒℓ

= the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point

• fi

= the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life

• ƒc

= the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space

• L

= the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.
[/list]

Radio astronomer Frank Drake developed the Drake equation so he could estimate the number of planets harboring intelligent life in the galaxy by taking into consideration the factors listed above. A rigorous estimate using the Drake Equation was implemented in 2001, which also took into consideration the number of planets that are in the habitable zone (The habitable zone is an area around a star were water is in liquid form, temperature is ideal, and photosynthesis is possible). The results found that hundreds of thousands of life-bearing planets statistically should exist. It also suggested that a habitable planet like the Earth should exist just a few hundred light years away.

I find it unfair if I did not now also give equal mention to the Fermi paradox. The Fermi paradox states that if so many planets exist with intelligent life why is there a lack of contact between the intelligent life and us and why is there such a lack of physical evidence of said intelligent life. The paradox exists in that the Drake equation statistically proves life should be abundant and yet physical evidence says otherwise. It is hard to combat the arguments from the Fermi paradox except that some physical evidence does exist as you can see from this writing.

Eastern Europe, in my case. But I believe there are other places, where similar creatures may live. They need solitude though. Areas with heavy industry, big cities, highways, etc. are out of question. My grand parents lived in a cottage far from any big city. They used to collect wood, mushrooms, forest fruits etc in nearby forest. Sometimes, I used to go with them and that's when I saw those creatures. Of course, it didn't happen everytime I went to the forest, but once in a blue moon.

oxymoron alert! :D

I did not, and im happy about it.
What happened in earths history when different forms of life met each other? Yeah right, in most cases you wont like to be the weaker part.

maybe I know what you've seen.

Are you sure it wasn't you who was collecting the 'mushrooms'?

Humanity is just a blink of an eye in the vast lifetime of the universe.

Our current state of evolution with our current capacity of perception, reflection, intelligence and scope of action is tiny moment in time.

We don't know what comes next. Many speculate, but we don't know.

So if there is Alien life that has evoluted further than ourselves, it is almost certainly beyond our reach of understanding. Such lifeforms may very well be without a physical body.

Just like animals do not really perceive us for what we really are, in that they don't understand our motives, what we're doing all day and why we're doing it, and see and treat us as one of their kind, as leaders of the herd at most, our relationship with higher alien life forms would be the same. They could easily deceive us the same way if they so wish.

Oh man I forgot all about that movie. I'll have to watch it this weekend, I imagine the scene where she's entering the contraption will be awesome in hi def and with a good sound system.

LOL ;D



There's the theory that Earth is left alone because it's such a curiosity. Or it's just that nobody reached it yet. The universe, while gigantic, isn't all that old yet, and the light-speed limit prevents any species from taking over everything at once. And, of course, the Great Barrier Hypothesis. No life-form known to us has yet managed to expand beyond one planet. And that's not the final barrier, next there's exiting the solar system, and even then, there's intergalactic space.

Humans seem to still suck at working together. If this gets any worse, they may be too occupied fighting one another for local resources to ever afford space expansion, and ultimately get wiped out by a meteor. Maybe that happened to other species already, and that's why we're not seeing anyone.

I have never seen an alien but I believe I've seen a UFO.

It was in 1978.

A HUGE triangle shaped craft flew slowly over my house. It made no noise. It was completely black with no lights.

When I say huge I mean about 1 mile on each side It.

it flew so close to the ground and so slow that it could not have been a commercial aircraft.

It was square edged.

I remember this sighting as if it were yesterday and I've always got my eyes to the sky looking for more.

Before anyone accuses me, I was not on drugs. I was 11.

Actually, the Fermi Paradox implies that the galaxy should have been colonized everywhere in a diaspora, as even with slow spacecraft, and factoring in the age of our galaxy, the question is: where are they?

As an aside, I think the Kepler mission is one of the most fascinating current missions, given the question it's answering. That question, of course, is: "What is the ratio of habitable planets to stars in our galaxy?"

Damn guys. I tried to troll gullible idiots and you ruined it.

The only thing that humans have ever found that really could be a hind to other intelligent live is the wow!-signal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signal) , sadly we didn't have the technology to to analyse if there where a digital code in there back than.

not if you bend the space around the spacecraft. This might not be science fiction anymore.  It's been around since star trek but calculations said the energy needed is the size of Jupiter.  It's one of those wild dreams like time travel or harvesting suns to feed ....yes, warp drives!  That's what we've been fantasizing about.  The longer science fiction exists the more it starts to feel like any of those things may not seem to be so impossible after all.
NASA recently releases news that it's more plausible than thought to create warpdrives, if it has the right shape energy consumption would go down to realistic numbers.  it could travel 10 times the speed of light

A response to the Drake equation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Earth_hypothesis#Rare_Earth_equation


Also, Kurzweil:


This or intelligent life tends to destroy itself.

Actually there is plenty of evidence to support that at the very least aliens have visited us in the past. Ancient Sumerians have recorded written history on the Annunaki, and many other cultures including the Mayans, Aztecs AND Incas have stories in their histories of wise men with brilliant white hair and blue eyes who just showed up one day, taught them things and then left as quickly as they had come.

There is FANTASTIC evidence of a ufo battle over Nurember, Germany in 1561, google it.

You would have to be pretty ignorant to truly believe that it is impossible not only for life to have evolved on other planets in the 14.6 billion years the universe has existed but that they might have even developed the technology to travel vast distances at speeds approaching the speed of light. Especially when we've discovered an earth-like planet (Kepler 22-b) 2.4 times the size of the Earth a mere 600 light-years away.

Try reading the bible but think of God, Jesus, angels and demons as aliens with the stories being interpreted by humans with less advanced knowledge and understanding of the universe... The bible tends to make a lot more sense this way, otherwise it just reads like a really good epic.

It's not that I don't want to believe. But look at the "evidence" sighted. An observation of something weird in the sky in the 1500's becomes a UFO battle in the sky. A Mayan Steele depicting a ruler on a throne is re-imagined as a man operating a spaceship.  Did a Mayan scholar come up with this? Or a NASA spaceship expert? No. It takes a "UFO researcher" to find a alien spaceship; just as it takes a bigfoot-oligist to see big foot everywhere, and why a believer in ghosts can find a haunted place every weekend while real scientists have never seen one instance of such a thing. 
Find me a piece of a spaceship made from unknown material (strong evidence). Find me a repeating  patterned signal from space (weaker evidence) or a microbe based on something other than DNA or transcript RNA (close to proof).
I wana believe. But I am not one to delude myself. 

My friends and I saw a metallic ufo last week.  Had a distinct glow around it.  Wobbled through the sky while we were at Hardee's.  Had to be at least 50 feet wide, don't think it was a weather balloon.

You also have to open to the possibility - or even likelihood - that aliens or ufos are inter-dimensional beings or even spirits.  This isn't too far out there, though, for we are inter-dimensional spiritual beings (though less evolved) as well.

They've already found extra-terrestrial microbes in a meteorite. The microbes have a completely different biological composition than anything we've ever seen before, they eat arsenic which was previously thought to be toxic to ALL living things...

Also, you've clearly never heard of the "Wow!" signal: http://news.discovery.com/space/alien-signal-response-120627.html

This signal was enough to impress REAL scientists with REAL degrees. Do you really think so many scientists would "waste" their time looking for extra-terrestrial life if there wasn't good reason to believe it existed...?

I have never encountered other beings or aliens, but I did hear the season finale of Ghost Hunters will be the episode where they finally find definitive proof of the existence of the paranormal.

Hugh? I'm a biologist and this is news to me. You may be thinking of a bacteria found in California. It is a DNA based bacteria, clearly related to all other life found on Earth. there has NEVER been a discovery of an extra-Terrestrial life form. Such an observation would be the greatest discovery in the entire history of science!
If you read my earlier posts in this thread you will see that I am aware of the wow signal and commented on it. It is very intriguing, but we don't know enough about such signals to discern anything definitive.

+1, it's confirmation bias. Aliens, in whatever form, probably do exist, but I doubt we've made contact yet. What sightings have in common, is usually some weird looking dude reporting them, case in point:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=6577;type=avatar  VS https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=8502;type=avatar

I dunno man... You both look pretty weird to me.

I'll dare you to call me weird one day, when you beg for my mercy.

I've met a lot of alilens during my time. They usually come in the disguise of humans, with ordinary human clothes and so on, however the way I revealed their true identity was the way they had only contempt for the human race, and always had a shitty mood and negative outlook of things in general. The worst type has labeled themselves 'business managers', those are the worst type. If you can, shot them first, and bury them at night under a heavy stone.

Disney World?

+1 fucking Nasas probably gonna be buildin warp drives and shit

Well that explains it.

I think you're talking about Germans.

:D

both correct. Originally, they're from Aldebaran actually (http://duckduckgo.com/?q=aldebaran+feistle) and quite popular in, ahem, certain circles of the German conspiracy scene.
