Aliens and do they exist?

[DuckMan_Drake]

I just want you peoples to discuss this. I believe the greys exist, but not any other kind. Discuss

I've recently been reading up on the rare Earth theory. From what it says, mathematically, you can expect no more than 2-3 intelligent species per galaxy. Seems the odds are against us ever contacting any of them. =(

on this discovery channel Canada (Yes don't mock me) They say they (Not discovery channel but they as in astronomers and such) have found "something" about 56 light years away, and they want people to record things so they can send a radio signal to that "Something" (Probably the Appollo, just a bit far away).

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power. The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'. Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. It's a hundred thousand light years side to side. It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick, But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide. We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point. We go 'round every two hundred million years, And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe. The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth, And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Maybe, I think it would be really cool if there were(as long as they don't try to blow us up). If interstellar travel is possible it would be interesting to trade with them, see what they don't have and what we don't have. It would also be cool to learn of their biology and their history, not to mention the amazing scientific and philisophical advancements that both sides would achieve. Another race could be smarter, more stupid, physically stronger, weaker, peaceful or war-like. In any case I doubt they could destroy us or anything, the biggest danger they would pose is the spread of diseases we are unprepared for. Any military conflict would be far too expensive for either side to fight off their home planet. It would certainly be interesting if we could contact them, but there remains the near insurmountable obstacle of the extreme distance between stars, and odds of intelligent life developing anywhere near here. If life exists elsewhere, I would bet we would be the first to make contact with other life.

If you want to see a sci-fi that’s realistic. Old but way ahead of its time. It was made, I think, in 1951. (The Day The Earth Stood Still). If you really pay attention and understand why they came here and what the simple message was they brought, then you would see how little of a chance our primitive species would stand of going very far into space. But maybe somday

[Gortiag]

Yes, they exist, just as much as the sun exists. Many different kinds, and the very most of them isn't of the same materia or vibratory action (you name it) as us, so most people believe in them as much as they believe in ghosts. (until they actually see one) Just take my word for it.

[dreamer3]

i think so. with God bieng a god of creation and life, i highly doubt he would make such a big universe and only put us here

[AirRick101]

Of course they do! I saw a UFO the other day, and the aliens walked down my street. Also, I got in an argument with one and had a fight with him. The aliens that came into my house gave me some food to eat, it tasted kinda weird. I see aliens on TV, as well as in my books and videogames. A new alien was recently re-elected president, and new aliens are being born everyday here on earth.... Wait, was I calling them aliens?

[eyeofgames]

Yup I bet there are a lot of Alien races out there.

I was going to write that before I saw your post. I was remembering that it was from "The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy" though.

Maybe I should change the thread name to "Do you beleive Alien species have found studied and can quite possibly be living on Earth?"

[bradybaker]

Well if we discovered an alien race, the first thing we would do is send something over there to study them. So I don't think it's that improbable. As for them living here...no.

It is indeed possible that Greys (or Reticulans) exist. However, until I see some mor proof I will remain a bit sceptical, but my official position on the matter is neutral. Of course all those "Nordic" and other supposedly nearly human-looking aliens are bollocks. If the Greys exist, they are a hostile race as far as I'm concerned. I'd see a war with them as fully justified. Of course whether we could wage war against them is a question on itself.
