UFO's

I was watching a documentary last night, and saw the same old grainy, wobbly filmed "evidence" that I've seen a hundred times. Ancient ruins that have pictures of supposed aliens, and things like the Nazcar lines fascinate me, but I really don't believe "they" have visited Earth. In my opinion, any alien civilization that has the intelligence and technology to bridge the gap of possibly thousands of light-years to get here, should have developed the ability not to be spotted and photographed by a guy in an anorak carrying a tartan thermos-flask.

So, UFO's and aliens visiting Earth - do you believe?

Given the endless amount of planets out there, each with a different climate of it's own it's a lot more likely that other life does exist. Whether they'd have the technology to visit our world or if they did have, think we were worth bothering with, is another matter....

I can't help thinking that if they did have the technology and had taken the time and effort to make the journey they would probably have said "hello" when they got here.

I agree with you there - if they had that sort of technology, we are plankton in comparison and probably not worth a visit. Still, we may be a student's science project!

there must be some other kind of life out there, but probably not sentient like us, it took many things to make us evolve in the way we have so unlikely to have happened again.

I do believe in other life, given the number of potential goldilock's distance planets, it just seems impossible for there not to be life.

I do also agree with the above that you'd think that if they got to us, they'd at least say hello.

But there is another possibility - they could literally be millions of years more evolved than us, so our expectations could be similar to saying "next time you go to america, say hi to an ant".

definitly life but none coming to our planet. why drive that far and then go ah fuck it ive looked at the planet, i am to scared to say hello lets go home

i was watching another documentary and they have found several planets similar to earth but most were about 50-100 times the size of our planet called super earth's. some were 100 percent water (even the core) so it was just a never ending oceon (imagine being on a raft on that bugger!), Some were compleetely land but thier were a few with a good mix of both

how the hell they new which ones had land water etc i dont know but the machine that found the planets was cool.

well i have a theory, seeing as the only reason we dont have dinosaurs anymore is because they were wiped out on our planet, would some of these other planets be mainly reptile based if they did infact ivolve in the same way

Actually, alls it took was to be a certain distance from the star, have bigger planets at the edges of the system and for ice carrying meteors to impact the planet. Everything else was generated simply by the formation of a planet under those conditions.

In solar terms, that's incredibly common.

The machine reads the radiation difference when the planet (which they cant see in reality) passes in front of it's star. The readings let then see it has an atmosphere and when they know that, they can deduce the general composition of the planet, especially when they have something to compare it to - i.e. our planet.

I think it'd definetly a possiblity (and was a story line in Star Trek Voyager!) but only if evolution happened along the same lines as our planet.

I think I typed it slightly wrong - it reads the way the atmosphere alters the radiation coming from the star So it doesn't read the atmosphere itself, just the effect on the star it has.

Taking into account the speed of light is a universal given without exception other then when its travelling though matter of forces which causes a distortion factor so small its not relevant in dismissing an objectivity that suggests any species viewing earth form a distance even as close the next nearest galaxy would be seeing this planet in an evolutionary state way before the existence of the most primitive life form so far discovered…… Struth,,, there I go again,,,, waffling-on ,,,, erm… what was the question again … oh…. Yeah now I remember….. so why on earth would technically advanced aliens decide to come here in the first place unless they were perhaps interested in collecting samples of primitive primordial soup…….. just a thought …..Ohhhh go on hit me with tales of time travel, string theory and the BIG BANGGGGGG

Agreed, the speed of light is a constant, but it is possible that there is a faster medium than light, but we would be unable (as yet) to find or even measure it.

Can't remember who said it, but...

I believe theres other life out there, i simpley can not believe that we are the only planet with life on it

I dont think its what they make out it is tho, you know the space ships etc

its probably just single cell life forms etc, im really not sure lol

The thing is that if there's a near infinite number of potential planets for life to form on, and if planets come and go on a cosmic scale with regularity and as life occupies only a tiny portion of a planets lifespan, the reality is that life would be present throughout the universe at all stages of evolution.

In other words you are as likely to find an amoeba as you are a dalek, just in different places, as evolution is specific only to it's immediate surroundings, not a grand scheme of things.

in the night garden

There is a theory that one or more alien species have already visited our planet way back in mankind's very early years and possibly were even involved in homosapien development, using their own genetic code with that of earth primates! Let's face it we are a little odd compared to every other primate on this planet.

These same people suggest all we have left to remember our creators is religion and the odd 2 mile long scratch here and there in South America.

The fact they aren't here now may mean it actually took them thousands of years to get here and they may not be back if at all for thousands of years to come.

So in brief there are aliens walking the earth as we speak... it's us!

See "The Drake equation" for the formula for calculating alien lifeforms.

Just had this thought..

The universe was formed in "The Big Bang" So, all planetary material was formed or dispersed at the same time. It all travels away from the centre at roughly the same speed, at least to begin with.

What I'm thinking is.. If we are at a certain stage in the development of our planet, wouldn't the likelihood be that any other planets with the ability to sustain life be at roughly the same stage of development? That means that maybe no one or thing else has the ability to travel huge distances. Or perhaps they are not pre-occipied with what is "out there!"

That is of course assuming that the timescale for the development of earth follows some plan. (or perhaps from some algorithm from a giant computer core… Hmmm Perhaps it was called “Deep Thought”! )

Maybe its the organised religions who have a conspiracy to keep it all quiet not wanting more competition.
