Before you make up your mind, cosider this fact. In the middle Ages, women and men alike would report being suduced by "demons" and forced to have intercourse with them. These accounts are strikingly similer to accounts of later generations reporting they had been suduced by aliens. Also, the Star Child. Ah, yes, the infamous Star Child. For those of you who dont what this is, there is a story passed through generations about how a women would come to earth after giving birth, leave the child with humans, andcome pick it up 8-12 years later. Scientes think they may have found a skull, that is currently being tested, that may startle the earth as a whole. The skull is 2 times as large as a normal humans. It ways half the normal weight, and is half as thick. It is also 2 times more durable than a normal human skull. Scientists do not think this is a medical mystery, or head shaping because there are traces of a substance in the skull that is impossible to be in a human skull. It has never been found in any human skull, or any skull for that matter, in history. Scientist currently think this skull is not of a human, but they are currently testing it.

despite probably being told i have no proof of this at all... ill still make my opinion...

i believe aliens could exist... im not to strong on the possiblilty though... but if we trully are the only living things in the entire universe, then id feel pretty lonely...

whered you hear about this skull anyways? care to find an article and post it? anything like that?

uhh just did a wikipedia search... apparently star child is a story as well...

i do because the universe is to big for just us.

Nicely said.

I think there is life outside this galaxy, but them traveling millions of lightyears to find us, and experitment on us? NO!

I think everything you said is absolute rubbish, but the chances of Earth being the only planet sustaining life are too slim to be worked out.

Even if only one in a billion worlds is inhabited, there are still going to be many other planets with life on them throughout the universe.

The chance that life exists is at LEAST a 1/a billion times a billion. Even for the Earth.

Well, all you need to do is type in "Starchild" in google to find info on him.
Aquafire, I have a retaliation to your unrational "NO" answer. Of course they would go billions of miles away to get people to experiment on if they know we are fairly intellegent compared to other life forms on planets, who knows, there could be planets full of nothing but animals that we consider pets... Anyways, if they can do instant transmission, otherwise known as teleportation, then sure they would come here. I see this two ways: either UFOs are people from the far future coming back through time to visit us and learn about their ancestors, or we are picked up and used as monkeys or lab rats in their advanced medical research.

Martian Thought: Lets fly lightyears to have a quickie with a monkey

Does that sound rational to you?... lets experiment but inserting my tendrils where the sun don't shine - yea... real scientific

Anyway... if they were going to do experiments... i rather think they would be dissecting humans instead of getting off with them... IMO all these stories people have of aliens raping them were made up by desperate people wanting to feel wanted and looking for attention.

Also... Human / Alien hybrids from having sex? well.... anyone whos knows even just a little bit about genetics and mating will know that its impossible to create a hybrid from species that are very different. Whales and Humans are both mammals, but you dont see and 'whalemans'.. thats because they are too different.

i belive there's life out there, but the thought of it visiting earth is just ridiculous

I'm almost positive that there are aliens. It's proven that more than 39 planets in this galaxy alone are enough like the Earth to be able to sustain life, so imagine the thought of billions of galaxies. That makes it just around impossible for aliens to not exist. As for the thought of Starchild and alien/human intercourse...total crap! No aliens come to a planet to either mate or to see what humans are like. Imagine this: if they have the technology to get here, then they aren't gonna care about us.

THink about this:

If you're walkin down the street and you see ants, you wouldn't study them, you'd destroy them. You wouldn't say, "Take me to your leader." NO YOU WOULDN'T! If they have the technology to get here, they'd either not care about us or destroy us.

O, btw, the intercourse described by the people isn't involved with aliens. Its involved with sexual spirits called a sucubus.

Sorry, would you care to explain your reasoning behind that Zhou?

Have you been visiting billions of worlds checking for different forms of life on each? Also, please note I did say life rather than sentient life forms. Life is everything from the primordial soup onwards.

And of course, there are billions of worlds. I believe that one of the estimates for the number of planets in the universe is infact a million billion. So i'd stand by my original comments that at least one other would - more likely than not - contain life.

A don't think there are aliens like that out there. Probably some microorganisms though.

Alien: I'm gonna fly to earth a rape a human...

Who is to say that there is only 1 billion planets.

What if there is 1 billion 1 billion planets. Odds are not as unlikely now. The universe is constantly expanding.

Do we have little green men walking around? In all likelihood, no.

But it is probable that life in some form exists on another planet.


Gunny

I agree, but I never heard of a number 'Billion billion'.

wow succubus eh, if this article is right on these spirits then id be dead long ago sadly... darn teases, there everywhere in arizona... at least in chandler and tempe... and some of them are my friends

anyways heres an article on them (might be a lil inappropriate for people under the age of 14...might...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucubus

in any case im pretty sure aliens wouldnt come to earth just to rape the living life out of us... thats kinda wierd if you think about it... but then again, think about this

about the ants, humans would destroy the ants, but since extra terrestrials arent human they might just think differently, they might actually help the ants... you never know, there not human which means they dont have to think like humans...

Kol, while that is true, the chances of them helping would be completely mininal. They wouldn't travel light years to watch us. Plus, its the nature of all living things to compete and be violent. Microscopic viruses kill the other cells, which kinda leads to a bigger universal idea that all things are violent. Even if they wanted to help us, they would see how crazy our world is and how much we hate one another and mostly think of us as a threat to ourselves and the aliens. That's y they would most likely wipe us out. Also, some stupid people would most likely kill aliens if they somehow came here and start a 5 min. war ending with the anihilation of all humans.

Wahey Im there.


seriously though if there areny aliens then why is there other planets?

theres other planets because they were formed at the beggining of the universe... doesnt mean they will have life on them...

and while that is true that micro-organisms do eat smaller ones, which does infact prove that the nature of all living things is to compete and be violent, you dont see humans competing and being violent towards everything, there are people who actually help everyone regardless, so technically the nature of people isnt always to compete and destroy...

besides, you never know, at the same, even since aliens arent human, it could also mean that they have a completely different nature, after all we have never really studied any bacteria or life organisms from other planets or even outerspace (well unless they took some from an asteroid...), i believe any theory we throw out about aliens trying to destroy us could easily be countered by the fact that, were humans, aliens might not act the same way, you never know aliens might actually be trying to find allies instead of enemies, and that doesnt necesarily mean they will actually enslave us

im trying to remember this one movie i saw on the sci-fi channel, it was where aliens came to earth and were taking humans and studying them to see if nay of them had a special type of blood that would cure this decease that the aliens were dying from... uhh the movie revolved around a man and his daughter, the alines would test the humans blood, if the human didnt have that special type of blood then theyd die, the Nations armies were under the control of the aliens and had no choice but to take who ever they had to take... im gonna wikipedia for the movie name... kinda shows what aliens might do to save themselves...

Maybe, very maybe. I didnt read other posts here, but here's my humble opinion : The chance that there is teh smart aliens out there is very very very very small, and the chance that the planet they live on is close to ours is very, very, very small. And even if they excist, why do they have to INVADE (mummy me and daddy saw teh ufo lolol nobody believs us :§§) us? Why cant they just contact us? Why do they have to take over our planet, rather than work together with us?

And btw : there were close to none reports about ufo-spotting before we went to space and the moon..
And most of the ufo's we see today are projects from your goverment, disco lights, (or aliens from mars with huge heads and zappers to zap us away (poof!)). Or you want a bit of attention


So my opinion : They might be other lifeforms out there (Surely they'll contact us and not take us over when they find us, or we find them..-.-), but with a very small chance that they exactly life close to our planet, and the aliens we see today are optical illusions and other.

i agree with most of that... except the whole ufo spottings part, disco lights?? ya sureio... although i agree the government would be a good geuss at this since alot of the ufo sighting were near the area 51 base im pretty sure there has never really been an actual alien spaceship in earths orbit or even near earth...

God made a universe gazillions of light years in ratio, and ya think there can't be any?

Warmagic0, ur post about the ants is kind of...... well.... it was pointless to post it if u would have read my last post. Ur correct, u wouldn't see humans sit down and study a random group of ants and say take me to ur leader..... that's kind of obvious..... but if u came upon a group of Dolphins, then sure u would take a moment, at least, to look at them and study what they r doing.

That skull can just be of an unknown animal.

Instant Transmission is and will always be impossible.

There are other planets because... well... well, there is no because. Just like there's no meaning of life.

For me, I believe Aliens exist. However, I don't believe they can or will seek us out.

Did you hear about the planet in another galaxy, that has the same properties as Earth???
It has an atmosphere, air, water, landmass, and a sun to revolve
so there is a very high chance of life forms over there

It is 20.5 Light Years away, hardly in another Galaxy. We currently do not possess the technology to see into other galaxies so accurately.

No-one knows if this planet has water or breathable air. It is just media speculation. All we know is that it might have water/breathable air. Until we actually see the planet transit it's star then we do not know the composition of the atmosphere.

It is more than likely that this planet is tidally locked, meaning that it does not rotate. This means that one side will be hot all the time, whereas the other side will be dark and cold. The only place where life may exist is in the "twilight zone." No, I do not mean the T.V show.

We currently do not know the chance of life existing there, as we have very little information on the planet.

I believe there's life (sentient or non-sentient) out there. I don't assume it's something that's over the top with it's looks, if everything in the universe came from a single event and resources, wouldn't things be similar in different locations?

I agree the universe is too big for just one planet to be habitated by life...also many "siteings" have occured since the age of time all of them just cant be accidents or mishapenings. Also which many consider amsazing is that many of our structures built in the old roman/renasance/ medival times couldnt have been built with out cranes or inventions to lift up pillars. Lastly Many cryptic wriings and drawings have been found in eygpt and rome over time...for example many hyroglphics( eyptian drawings on walls) show big headed beings standing with humans...But for all i know the guy could be a deformed human lol

Kol, in response to your post at the top of this page, that article is disturbing.

actuly i im not sure

possible, very possible

but chances of them visiting our planet, slim chance...

Jin you're right,the could be real but maybe they don't know we exist so why come here

I don't believe in all that UFO crap, and why does everyone always think that "aliens" or other beings are more superior and can wipe us out easily. For all we know, these other life forms could be complete morons.

I'm not very sure about this topic.


row

Their is probably life, somewhere, out there, maybe not an advanced lifeform, maybe just bacteria or something.

There are to many places in the universe for there to not be at least one living organism.
I don't believe there are any advanced lifeforms out there, mainly uni-celled(not sure if that is the right way to put it) organisms.

Same here, i do think there is life in the universe, is far too big to be only owned by the humans .

In an infinite universe, there is surely more than infinite tipe of species of intelligent livings, who knows, but i disagree whit the idea that they could come here and invade our planet... if in all this time any living form outside in the universe have discovered a good technology to travel fastly in the space, they could have arrived here long time ago and conquested the Earth in my opinion .

lmao, that 1 in a billion billions made me laugh. i agree that that might be the statistics, but fact is, there are more than a billion billion stars out there. in the Milky way only there are 100billion stars. fact is, there are about 100 billion galaxys just like the milky way. so thats how much? 10XbillionXbillionXbillion? so accourding to zohu's stats there should be about 10billion other lifes out there. sounds about right

but they are most probably (even the ones in our galaxy) so far away, the milky way itself is about 100,000 light years across, and other galaxys are even ferther away - so the possiblity of superiour forms of life visiting earth is about as follows:
1/10^18 for a life (accourding to zohu), and thy should be a few hundred thousands lightyears away - so they need technology that allows them to travel at speeds which are (accourding to modern physics) are impossibly. im not gonna get into this atm. and they'd have to take intrest in us (in all the some 10 billion other life forms out there) so thats like 1/10^28 chance if they are even an inteligent life form that have the technology. so no ty for that.

small comment at those who believe that there is no inteligent lifeform out there: chanses are, we aren't as smart as we think we are. we know so little about the universe that there might just be a lot of ingeligent lifeforms that consider us basic.

PS, @Imodio: just a small corection - the universe isn't infinite. it's proven that althought it is so large we can't even start to imagin how large it is, it is finite.

I personly think life forms are on other planets,like ours,and our in search of other life forms to eat and experiment on.I also think they are smarter than loads of human's.But i also think that they are no were near our planet!

ya definatly....



and i mean, why not???

It is extremely arrogant and narrow-minded to assume we are the only lifeforms in the Universe. It is also arrogant and narrow-minded to think we are the most intelligent lifeforms, aswell.

The Universe is finite, but growing at an incredible rate.

Are you sure the universe is finite? If it's expanding at an immeasurable rate wouldn't it be infinite? Furthermore, if it were finite that would mean there WOULD be an edge and center.

It's good to keep our minds open, yet it is highly unlikely.

I really can't add much other than to say... 'What Zhou said' in his last post.

It is finite, it doesn't go on forever. It's shape is that of a Beachball, accorinding to the latest measurements and calculations. The Universe isn't expanding at an immeasurable rate, I believe it is expanding at something like 71km/s per mega-parsec. The observable Universe is 93 billion light years across and although that is a huge distance, it isn't an infinite distance.

most likely there is life, just maybe not as intelligent as human life. bacteria, for example, is considered "life." and lets not get into the whole "how big the universe it" debate...it just messes up your mind

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.

In my opinion, the Universe is too big for there not to be.

All there is to it.

yes, i think the universe is way to big for only us. in another galaxy, maybe far far away from here, but there has to be more living beings

With the universe being as big as it is I think there probably is other life out there.

As to whether we've had contact with Aliens, I don't think so.
