Do U Believe in Aliens?

Postby Jordsindia » Wed Jun 15, 2011 7:32 pm

So, i was watching this Phil Sneider guy, maybe you've heard of him, and he talks about how he once worked for the government with top secret programs about aliens.

So i decided to see if you guys believe in aliens.

So, do you?
If so, do you think they are friendly?
If so, do you think they are visiting earth?
Are they hostile?
Are their more than one species?
Just tell us, do you BELIEVE!

I think that according to your flag, we can all tell.

Kind sorta believe, no proof accept for people telling stories, and if they were real, I think half the town would've left by now.

Yes. But if they have FTl at the very best they'll be like missionaries in the pacific, at worst they'll be like what we did to the Native Americans or possibly the path of the red rail. Or an equally likely possibility: They're so damns advanced that they don't bother with us at all, we're like ants to them.

UFO could be anything flying but unidentified, which means it could still be of Earth but we dont know what it is. But when somebody mentions UFO they automatically think alien.

Actually alien space ships technically aren't UFOs anymore. As you've identified them as alien space ships.

But i didnt call them UFO's. I said the exact opposite.

So, do you? Yes
If so, do you think they are friendly? No. If they were, they'd come over legally
If so, do you think they are visiting earth? They're already on earth.
Are they hostile? Yes, they're taking our jobs!
Are their more than one species? Yeah, there's black, Asian, Latino, etc...
Just tell us, do you BELIEVE! YES!

With such a large universe, it'd be ignorant to believe that Earth is the only planet that supports life. I do believe that aliens exist somewhere in the universe, that there may be different species, and that some species may be more hostile than others.

I believe they exist out there somewhere or another. But I'm not into any of the conspiracy theories. Many just seem silly to me. The nature of these aliens is a mystery to mankind, I believe.

Statistically, it's impossible that Aliens do not exist; it can also been proven to be false, in ways that many might not have considered.

I think there is intelligent life out there. Whether or not they visited us is another story. I mean the only thing we'd have to offer them is our art and creativity, nothing else. Compared to them, we're primitive apes.

There is a possablity of aliens, and the odds are less then one in a million that they would be less technologically advanced then us, if they still could pick up space signals. However, as of yet we have no definitive proof of any sort, and hence we must assume we are the only sapient life within any distance close enough to matter

If we are ants to them, they would probably pull an Ant Bully by now. Also, do you think that if we are like ants to them, do ants have small things that they consider themselves advanced compared to?

Yes.

I wouldn't know. See below.

If so, do you think they are visiting earth?

No. That show Ancient Aliens is full of bullshit. If they had technology to reach Earth, I doubt they would bother to visit our planet for more than scientific observation. Probably wouldn't even bother landing.

Are they hostile?

No. Probably not. Or we would be dead.

Are their more than one species?

Perhaps. I follow the belief that the only aliens out there are bugs. I don't think any other type of life form could have evolved on another planet.

I think, given the unimaginable vastness of space, there has to be more than just us. There's a theory that there may be bacteria frozen in Mars' ice caps. Nothing too exciting, but it's something. This civilisation could be thousands of years behind or ahead of us. Frankly, there's no way of telling how friendly they will be, since their society will be now doubt radically different from ours, their perception of right and wrong will almost certainly be different, if they even make that distinction in the first place. All we can do is send out more signals and space probes, and wait until something happens.

I don't know if they visited Earth before, nor do I care that much. We can ask them when the times comes.
Of course they're not hostile, at least not openly, or else we'd be dead by now, considering how much attention we try to draw to ourselves with the signals, probes and the Earth lit up like a Christmas tree at night.

Statistically speaking, it's likely that our galaxy has some form of life other than ours in it; we've already discovered several Earth-like planets in only a few years of actually having the technology to look for them, so the odds are good that conditions for it to arise elsewhere exists. Whether that means a galaxy full of strange civilizations or a smattering of planets with single-celled slime remains to be seen, however.

It's possible that some might be. It's unlikely we'll be able to find out in a reasonable amount of time, however.

No. There's no reason for them to.

Are there intelligent beings on other planets? Yeah, very likely. Friendly or hostile is moot because they aren't visiting us. The logistics are too difficult.
