I really enjoy reading the supernatural thread. And I don't believe there is a extra terrestrial thread so here it is!
Share your experiences mostly, not your opinions lol

    Shoot, I don't have any experiences. But I do think the answer is absolutely yes. Have they visited Earth is a far different question, but space is so gigantic with countless other solar systems. There is no way this is the only one where "life" has developed. There are definitely others out there.

    It is a certainty. How 'advanced' such life might be is something one can only ponder.

    It makes no sense to me that there wouldn't be other forms of (what we call) life beyond our planet.

    I'm curious, though, why many claimed encounters with them involve anal probes.

    there are billions of stars, and each one has its own solar system. i would say that there has to be other forms of advanced life out there.

    i would hate to think that humans are it. like, that we are the most advanced thing that the cosmos could produce. if we were, i would be pretty unimpressed.

    There is without doubt other life in the universe. But travel logistics make it highly unlikely we will ever make contact with intelligent life unless the laws of physics are rewritten.

    There is still a chance of discovering basic life forms within our solar system as long as water is present in orbiting moons or Mars.

    Think about it this way... if the only animal life on Earth was an ant hill in Austrailia... and an ant hill in Idaho... AND... the ant hill in Austrailia lived and died 1,000 years ago.
    What is the possibility of the ants in Austrailia making contact with the ants in Idaho?
    ...
    It does not mean that the seperate ant colonies never existed... it just means that neither of them possess or possessed the means to traverse the planet to make contact. To each colony, theirs was the only existance in the universe.
    ...
    The same rule applies to us, as humans. There is more than likely other life forms out there... but, they exist at great distances that we cannot cross. And they may have existed millions of years ago, before their planet was consumed by their Sun.... and may exist after our Sun consumes us.

    apparently a discovery of a new planet, kepler 186f may indeed have the "right" conditions to support life. alot of variables in play but this video indicates SETI is already all over it.

    Excellent analogy, Cosmo. What you say makes a great deal of sense.

    I think we will be lucky if we somehow can manage to communicate with other intelligent life forms though I image that is not highly likely considering the vast distances between stars. I surely don't mind at all efforts like SETI to make that kind of connection but I also would like to see that and much MORE effort put into solving our own problems here on planet earth. If we do that, maybe we will stick around long enough to make those exciting extra-terrestrial contacts.

    Agree. Also I'd like to add that if another life form had the technology to visit then it's my personal belief that they'd have the technology to do so without us ever detecting them.

    I think there probably is life out there. I'm not so sure we ever need to find or communicate with them though. They may not be as keen on the idea of life elsewhere like we are.

    It would be arrogant to assume that Earth possesses is the only intelligent life in the vast universe. (no offense to anyone, but seriously…)

    Especially when we are so marginally intelligent- or at least I'm fairly sure that's how we would be perceived.

    In the 'future' I don't think traveling great distances will be that much of an issue, as long as we work out the whole fusion(energy)/hyper drive machine type stuff.

    Create wormholes, so we just 'leap' or 'jump' into different areas/dimensions.

    Bend time-space, 'fold' our 'space' and we won't even have to move.

    That's advanced technology.

    I also think we should focus our efforts on finding more Intelligent life on this planet.

    well so far there is no positive proof that we have been visited by little green men, we have landed on the moon and found no other forms of life,we have sent roovers to mars and found no signs of life, we have the hubble selescope and have some beautiful pictures of space....but that's it, Orson Wells is still laughing at us but we still have big foot to chase right ?

    I always thought it interesting how our depictions of "aliens" have human features. Same basic physical appearance, with added skin color, eye size, etc.

    Think ET.

    Who knows what kind of form they'd be? Probably beyond the realm of our comprehension.
