Do you believe in Aliens?

[Lethn]

I'm not about to be a conspiracy theorist and make stupid assumptions based on nothing but I think just simply down to mathematical probability ( space being so big, traces of water found on planets etc. ) you'd be a fool to actually believe there is no form of alien life out there. I think we could only really form a proper conclusion about it until we've become a spacefaring species and explored planets like the ones we've seen out there that are several times bigger than earth and have an atmosphere.

When it comes to aliens it's just another case of extremely arrogant people who need to get beaten down with undeniable facts before they'll even begin accepting something, much like with the lengths people had to go to prove the world was round rather than flat before it became commonly accepted knowledge.

space bacteria? yes.

COMING SOON- ASTRONAUT YOGURT!

The bacteria was even confirmed I think.

Do I believe in life outside of Earth? Yes, it's a statistical impossibility for life NOT to exist outside of Earth.
What chemical elements do EVERY living organism possess? Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen.
What are the four most abundant elements in the universe? Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen.

These 4 elements have been known to automatically form many of the organic compounds used by living creatures naturally given certain basic conditions.

How many planets within a habitable zone are there in our galaxy? ~500,000,000
How many galaxies are there in the known universe? ~1,000,000,000,000
So that's roughly 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 (500 quintillion) potential planets that life can exist in.

Now, do I believe that such life visits Earth, flies around in UFOs, abducts cows, probes people, but refuses to reveal themselves to us? No, that's retarded.

If you look at the billions of stars, it must be arrogant to think that life could only exist here on earth. So many species living on earth alone, the universe must be stuffed with life. If there are any 'intelligent' lifeforms out there that are capable of coming here, they will probably think twice before actually coming here; they will likely see us as the savages that we are, destoying everything that crosses our path.

On the other hand, I still believe that most of the UFOs that people see in the skies are secret military/elite aircraft.

Yes, I believe that there exists some type of extraterrestrial intelligence.  That being said, I don't think of it as the stereotypical grey "alien" that is portrayed in pop culture.  I think that image is a poor attempt at defining something which is still unknown to us.  I would like to think that its sophistication is beyond our ability to describe.

As for the separate issue of UFO's, the fact that this concept makes for an excellent cover for advanced weapons system testing by the military makes me think that most incidents reported have an earthly explanation.  However, some statements made by astronauts and distinguished pilots makes me think that some events involve third-parties that are somehow exempt from the limitations of time and space as we understand them.  No matter how you look at it, Boeing and Lockheed Martin can't be responsible for all of these events even if they represent a large portion of them.

Quite funny to learn that almost 80% of the users believe in aliens..... lol. I like aliens... especially in Hollywood movies.

To be honest, while I think the the cow abductions, crop circles, probes stuff is bullshit, I think the idea that Aliens won't reveal themselves to us is very plausible considering how much shit they must see if they're advanced enough to transport themselves across galaxies.

I quite like the theory that Satoshi Nakamoto is an alien

So if Satoshi's an alien than Bitcoin is here to educate or destroy us?

In over 5000 years of recorded human history, there has been no conclusive evidence pointing towards life on other planets. Ancient civilizations believed in heavenly beings such as Angels and Gods and generally considered the Sky to be a solid Dome and not infinite space.

If there had been any contact with aliens from other planets in our past then our historical records would reflect that. There is really no indication whatsoever that this has ever taken place. In fact, aliens from other planets is a relatively modern creation in the last 100 or so years.

I find it amusing to think that advanced life forms with the capacity to travel lightspeed through the universe dodging space debris would crash into earth. Or even consider working undercover with our leaders in some elaborate scheme to enslave humanity. Why wouldn't these evil, intelligent aliens just wipe us out and take the planet for themselves?

Maybe they're just playing with us, like with a toy. War here, war there and they're loling at our patheticness.

do i believe in advanced civilizations outside of earth definitely
do i think they kidnap rednecks to study them cause their so very special absolutely not lol

I've seen a UFO for 40 minutes, took pictures with my camera zoomed in fully.

Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs-u4ELBy04

I believe aliens are what we call today "gods". Go research.

[hilariousandco]

It's very probable that there is life in some capacity out there. Then again, maybe the reality of lifeforms forming is so rare and actually almost impossible that there's only a 1 in an infinite chance to have arisen, so maybe we are alone, but given the sheer size of the universe and number of planets, it's unlikely that we are.

It's highly unlikely there isn't another intelligent species (similar to humans) out there.

And I don't really like the term "alien," because to another species we are the aliens.

Well, they're alien lifeforms to us or Extra Terrestrials.

Yes and aliens exist 100 percent, there are many stories of ufo's appearing and irregular flying patterns, just ask a lot of military pilots.

Well of course UFOs exist. If I throw a Frisbee in the air and somebody goes "What da fuck is that?", then it is an Unidentified Flying Object. Do  Alien Spacecraft ever visit earth? Highly doubt it.

abducts cows...

I suspect that cow abduction in the U.S. have to do with post-nuclear test mitigation. The military steal and dissect the cows to test the presence and measure radioactive elements that accumulate in the internal organs

Any source? Would be an interesting read.

[realestone]

why is every picture of a ufo always from a far away distance or totally zoomed in so it looks like an indescribable blob

[Ch1bi]

Of course there has to be other lifeforms out there somewhere, you would be crazy to think we are the only ones to live in this vast universe.

[lif3]

People have to understand, we are only a very tiny part of the whole universe. Our technology has only advance very little and our understanding of the world around us are very little. There are so many possibilities. Therefore, I believe other civilization exist somewhere.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Any questions?
