Are UFO's among us from other planets?

I think everyone believes in UFOs - after all, that just means Unidentified Flying Object. Not everyone believes there are aliens and that the UFOs are their spaceships, however.

I've always felt it would be too arrogant of us to think that out of all the millions of planets out there, ours would be the only one to have life develop. Even if you believe in creationism, there is nothing in the Bible that rules out God creating life on other planets. In fact, there is a point where it mentions angels ruling on other worlds - who's to say what that meant?

I do think if aliens were to visit, they would likely run away and make a note on the star chart that our planet is not quite ready to join the rest of the universe. We would be a dangerous element to a peaceful universe.

If aliens really exist and have visited, they must be peaceful - otherwise, they would have wiped us out already in the fear that we may someday leave the planet. Face it, we're the only species on the planet that kills each other for no apparent reason and the only species to keep other organisms in cages and on leashes.

The universe is (to the best of our knowledge) infinate.

That's pretty big

There is also (to the best of our knowledge) parallel dimensions which raises chances of another planet almost exactly the same as earth being out there.

It has been said that, for every choice you make, there is another parallel dimension where the 'alternative you' makes another choice. There are thousands/infinate choices, times that by the number of people on the planet and the idea is astounding. Infinite parallel dimensions.

But that is 'off-topic.' LOL

I've always believed there are other societies of some kind out there - because I'd hate to think WE are the best there is.

I'm sort of with Tina on this - I think if we met "the others" we might find ourselves at the bottom of the food chain.

  I think that's the last thing the majority of people would think about.
  If we met "the others" the radical religious groups would be frantically running around claiming they are creations of the devil and society as we know it would simply fall apart.

I am not trying to 'act smart' or anything (I can't act that well!) but, humans don't kill for no reason. They kill for satisfaction/pleasure/fear/defense ect. like certain animals do. I don't think I can explain the cage/leash thing though...spiders, flys and webs perhaps...? Maybe not.

Who knows, maybe one day we will be the aliens that other planets talk about.

They are us...from the future. Seriously...

...Maybe.

Makes sense though...it's simply evoloution. More and more tasks are done by;

Computers = long fingers for keyboards

No manual work = 'frail'/small body

Intelligent = Big head

Ability to fly at extreme speeds

ect.

I mean, it makes sense that 'the future humans' would come back to study ourselves.

But I just realized I'm talking about aliens more than UFOs

There was a program on the discovery channel about a scientist who claims he built a 'UFO' for Germany (I think it was Germany) YEARS ago. (Like 50 odd years ago)

Using magnets wrapped in wire (I'm no scientist but it was something quite simple) He plugged it in and flicked the switch...and (on tv) it lifted off the table. He said the glowing of UFOs were the heat generated from the magnets getting hot.

He even had pictures of the original full size prototype.

It made me laugh when, people said that the ministry of defense 'could/would' release all information on UFOs after 40 years.

I haven't heard anything yet...:rolleyes:LOL

There is a thing called the "nuclear decision threshold," which is good enough reason to believe that any aliens that might exist would take one look at us and leave. After all, what kind of species would point weapons at their own world?

That's leaving aside the whole issue of the energy and time involved in getting here from a nearby solar system, much less another part of this or another galaxy.

I do not believe that aliens have ever visited this planet. That said, I'd bet every quatloo I've got that there are other intelligent life forms out there. Thousands of species of them, at a bare minimum.

We have only developed the ability to get a clear look at a tiny part of our own small stellar neighborhood, and we've spotted a number of places that could potentially support/develop Earth-like life. Multiply that by what we can't see yet, and it's as near to certain as it could possibly be without direct knowledge. And that ignores the probability of other forms of life that we wouldn't easily recognize.

If I was a space alien I would stay the *hell* away from this planet.

I'd be terrified; if one of our ships crashed and the humans reverse engineered it they'd be conquering the galaxy in ten or twenty years.

I believe I said no APPARENT reason. I don't know of any animals that kill for satisfaction or pleasure - do you? They kill in self-defense, defense of their young or for food.

Humans kill for stupid reasons and I'm not just talking about sociopaths.

Yes, according to some biologists, it is believed that there is at least one other animal that kills for "fun" (for lack of a better word").

Any guesses?

(And if you saw the other thread where this was mentioned, gives others a chance to guess)

I'm not sure what thread you are referencing but cats are very well known for taking sadistic pleasure in the kill. Both big and small. A leopard will kill you just because you're alive and a house cat will delight in tormenting a cornered mouse. I love cats but have no doubt about their inner nature.

Good guesses, but not quite what I had in mind. Hint: These animals are often considered to be of higher intelligence.

There's been some nasty stories about dolphins lately, is that what you had in mind? Some ape species such as chimps and baboons can be pretty violent, but I think I will go with the dolphins this time.

Ouch, that hurt~!
Yes, they do 'seem' to enjoy the chase; but oddly enough they do often have reasons behind it; even if it is no more than to give a 'gift' to their 'master'.
(Cats are thoughtful that way)
As well...because you are 'alive'...they view you as a very real threat to them (rightfully so, I expect) so their 'inner nature' isn't really that bad

IF we weren't clouded by mystery over this topic, purposefully, by the governments we wouldn't get so confused about it all. We would have enough concrete information to make our own decisions etc but because we are not given all the info we can't join all the dots.

I believe in aliens.

I also believe that if a entity had the intelligence to have the technology to find us and then make it here, they would probably be smart enough to monitor us before they landed, and would see that we kill each other off over beliefs or color of skin. And if they are presumably different than we are, why would they want to just plop down in the middle of a big city and say 'hi we're the new neighbors!'

Given all the earlier reports of crashed ships and alien bodies strewn about... you would think they could come up with a simple crash avoidance system... or at the very least an ejection seat.

Unless of course, we are living in one of those clear plastic paper weights with the snow that floats down when you shake it. I think that's where I am now and someone forgot and put me and my universe in the deep freeze.

Rods intrigue me more than anything... right now.

Don't know if it was man made or alien BUT that damn thing flew like nothing I know of in this world.
