Then again, it could all be a major hoax, which I don’t know why people would spend their lives to fool us. Because aliens shouldn’t give a crap about us? If they’re intelligent and more powerful than us so as to have tech to travel outside of their planet, then what do they have to do with us?

I don't think it has to necessarily add up to ayy lmaos, but like I said earlier, there are several well-documented and unexplained cases which certainly might indicate something otherworldly.

Yup, but all things happen for a reason, and they happen not magically. Therefore it may conclude to be aliens. Putting myself in their shoes, knowing that [we’re] they’re more powerful would mean [we] they wouldn’t feel any harm to scouting us out.

But why does the government hide them from us? It may instill fear but at least now we notice that there are terrestrial beings.

Its possible unless by some chance we are all actually stuck in a computer simulation which does not have an alien encounters sub program coded into the main program.

Or maybe the universe implements machine learning and can adjust itself to begin automatically programming additional life forms following the idea constructions of the Earth child processes.

Alien Hitler is behind all human progress, this I know, cause the history channel tells me so...
But more seriously, I doubt there are aliens. There are a lot of people that have nightmares and claim to be abducted by aliens, and a lot of people who see odd things. There are not aliens among us.

As of writing this, a new MIB has come out. I liked the originals better. It's release is irrelevant actually, but it brings us into the next subject: the men in black. Not the movies, the real ones. MIB is based off stories of these figures. In brief, they cover up alien sightings, harass ufologists, and wipe memories. The series is supposed to be humorous rather than accurate. It is established that the men in black work with the government, or at least claim to. However, the mib often have strange features only explained by assuming they are aliens. And they cover up alien sightings. Aliens hiding aliens? This shows the conspiracy theorists researchers are into something and millions of extraterrestrial sightings are made yearly. Only a few get wiped by estimation, but enough that less people know. This gives reason to believe there are aliens everywhere, or at least in a lot of places.

Opinions? Do aliens exist? Are they coming after me?

Of course aliens exist, but their sole purpose seems to be raising the healthcare bill of Californians who actually work; someone call it Newsom's version of Obamacare

Doesn’t mean there aren’t any real aliens... like someone here already said, this Universe is way too big for a few billion of people.

There's a difference between the popular conception of aliens, which is probably bullshit, and actual aliens (life on other planets). The latter is pretty damn likely given the size of the universe, but it's also unlikely that we'll ever cross paths with them.

Plus, with galaxies moving away from each other, that possibility keeps dropping.

There are 3 types of aliens: humanoids, not-humanids and bacterial. They are either advanced, either mid-level like humans on Earth, either barbaric (not necessarily primitive).

Bacterial lifeforms are from a microscopic level (waters on alien worlds may be highly infested by such unseen bacteria) to a complex system collectively acting in a similar way as groups of nanites/nanobots do or like mushrooms do. These could be found from a space orbit (around a planet or moon) till to deepest caves under surface.
Did you know that some microorganism orbiting the Earth's orbit are very capable to live in radioactive environment? Scientists already got probes from space for research. During the global warming and atmosphere degradation in the (near) future is possible that South Pole be colonized by few of those orbiting bacteria.

Humanoids are aliens on bipedal structure like humans are, but their appearance may vary more than usual. They can be bigger or smaller.

Not-humanoid aliens are those not bipedal lifeforms (spiders, bugs or other appearance).

Most of aliens are warlike soldiers, some cruel, others demonic. Few are good or saintly.

Did you ever heard of the Drengin Empire or the Korath Clan? or the Dread Lords of the Systems? or Zerg?

It's like this: http://www.galciv2.com/screenshots/game ... eadl76.jpg

Conquering, eating and enslaving; or fighting for survival... Aliens are so horror...

What if they’re in our galaxy? There’s many planets safe for the growth and advancement of life in our galaxy. Especially bacteria.

Then they either have to get to space, or emit enough radiation that we can detect in sufficient quantities or strange patterns so as to attract our attention, or want to visit us. I had this wonderful picture, I can’t find it now, but it’s of a couple of lost aliens nearing Earth. One says “let’s just stop at that planet and ask for directions.” The next panel is a view of the earth, with missiles flying everywhere and explosions. This is immediately followed by the aliens going elsewhere.

Yeah, so they’re not a threat with such low technological advancements. But how about those with more advanced technology? Like the star that looked like it was covered b a Dyson sphere at certain times? Chances are, there is also an alien race much more advanced than us.

The comic is quite cute, too. I couldn’t upload the photo because it was too big.

Oh, I have no doubt that there might be something like, say, worms around the hydrothermal vents on Europa. But I highly doubt that Aliens will ever be something humanity interacts with.

Eyewitness testimony is the weakest type of evidence. Not to mention people tend to lie, exaggerate, embellish, and completely make things up. Even more, psychosis, hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and night terrors are a thing, and are a potential explanation for abduction claims.

Everything else, like UFOs can be attributed to misidentification and embellishment. I find these much more plausible explanations than a vastly superior race of aliens visiting earth regularly just to mess around and be photographed by low res cameras and phones.

If you believe in Aliens, but not bigfoot, there's an inconsistency there. If you believe in both, I'll actually take you seriously.

I think its virtually impossible for there not to be life somewhere else in the entirety of existance, just that they dont abduct people on Earth and whiz around in saucers. I also think bigfoot is absurd. It's highly unlikely a viable population of giant ape men are wandering around the US without ever being discovered.

That being said if scientifically valid and reliable evidence comes out that proves aliens have visited earth and that bigfoot does exist that isnt just eyewitness testimony then obviously my mind will be changed.

At one point I read a book (forget the name) where some people were hunting for aliens or something, and they said the best time to find them would probably be during solar eclipses-- the idea being that there probably aren't that many places in the universe where one body naturally blocks out the other quite perfectly enough for the corona to show (if the moon were a little bigger or closer the sky would go totally dark, no corona, a little smaller or father away and you'd still see the ring of the sun around it and it'd be too bright to look at-- soon, cosmically speaking, this will happen, and not that long ago the former was true). Thus, aliens might want to come see this phenomenon for themselves (yes, in principle they could just build a machine to create the same phenomenon for themselves closer to home, but maybe it'd be cooler to see it naturally and in person), so if you're hunting for aliens, look for weird shit in the path of totality (yachts with mysterious passengers, RVs in secluded locations with blacked-out windows, etc), and you might find some alien eclipse tourists.

Seems like a better rationale than "aliens get off on torturing cows and using glowing energy speculums on childrens' anuses" or whatever.

Ooh spooky. Ships full of otherwordly beings on black waters, dark woods with unknown vehicles parked within

Oops, I misread ufologists as urologists.

I won't be surprised if extraterrestrial life exists. If they decide to pay our planet a visit and wreak disorder, I have an idea on whom to blame.

If aliens exist, I hope they aren't offended by our depictions of stereotypes of them. I'm hoping for aliens somewhere between Dame tu cosita and Ayy LMAO

I believe it is highly likely that aliens do exist. Quite possibly, they're not contacting us (if they exist) because they don't want to look desperate.

Dame tu cosita was a bad thing. Cursed, almost. Howard was less lewd and more entertaining.
