    Have you seen an UFO? Do you believe theres life in other planets?
    A UFO is simply an unidentified flying object. Usually it's some sort of device that the government is trying out. The whole Alien thing has become extremely overrated and hyped up. I doubt that people from 'other worlds' would come around randomly abducting people and hovering around mountains for no logical reason. Assuming that any such beings were capable of interstellar traver in the first place, I don't think they would have to risk compromising themselves in order to get information about our planet or societies. Apparently Aliens are crappy pilots too, because they seem to keep smashing into the god damn desert. (How the hell do you crash into a fucking desert anyways!?) Anyways. Of course there is probably life on other planets. However, the chances of such extraterrestial beings being like us is highly improbable. However, I am under the impression that several planets within our solar system host forms of aquatic life, bacterium, and possibly insects and worms. However, most of these planets are too hot or cold for most life to survive. I'm under the impression that there may be mammals and birds (Possibly even other categories of life we don't even have names for) on very distant planets, but we all better clean up the mess we made here before thinking about going out on a space trip.

    Oh, does anyone here believe aliens could be humans of the past or the future? I believe that humans could become like those "little green men" because of evolution. Maybe the brain size will keep increasing, till it is so fast that it doesnt need to express through words, because it already gets what the others think.
    It's possible. I always wondered if perhaps we all lived on the moon, and we got into so many wars that we had to migrate here. (Hence, craters everywhere on the moon.) Of course I don't actually believe that. I'm just making up some bullshit stories to make the conversation seem more interesting.

    I was always under the impression that most of this 'Alien Stuff' is related to the government. Consider this. The government tests a nuclear weapon in the desert. During the test, an innocent person is killed. The radiation and intense heat sears their body and turns them into an inrecognizable corpse. Years later, someone finds that same corpse, and pieces of the nuclear device that was used. They, in their immature fit of glee and excitement, immediately assume that this is the act of some extraterrestrial being who obviously has nothing other to do than burn signs in crop circles, (You'd think with their alien know-how they can communicate with a fucking radio) kidnap livestock, and crash into places with no obstacles. In fact, thanks to this Alien Conspiracy, the government could kidnap someone, and their relatives would blame it on extraterrestrials.

    I think this is very interesting, since the way you have expressed it brings up the materialist concept of mind. If everyting in the universe will react according to physical laws, and the brain is just a conglomerate of particles, then whenever the brain is faced with a given situation, it will respond in a given way simply due to the laws of physics.

    This idea means that the future of the universe is predetermined once it has been set into motion, and that there is no other way that it could possibly have been other than the way it is.
    This relates to your idea nicely, since these aliens will just be in a give situation, and will react accordingly because that&#39;s the way the matter of their brains is constructed. Therefore, just as we will respond to verbal language in a given way, the new language will just be existing in a given situation and reacting mechanically.

    Aliens are bourgeois. Humans are proletarian.

    It would be interesting if some Aliens were watching a human walking a dog through the park. They would see one species leading the other by rope all over the place. Then they might observe one cleaning up some waste left by the other. I would imagine that from an observational point the Aliens would think the dogs were the masters and the humans the slaves.
    This is the way it shal be.

    It would be arrogant for humanity to assume that we are all alone in the universe, although we do not have any evidence - of course, it is more likely that we will find intelligent extraterrestrials then the yanks will find WMDs in Iraq

    how is it we have thousands of telescopes over the entire world and we never see "flying saucers" but some toothless hick can see them and be "abducted"? Do I belive in the existence of aliens as in shows like "Star Trek" or "Star Wars"? no i highly doubt that there are many, if any, humanoid creatures out there or ones advanced enough to travel for thousands or millions or even longer to visit this planet. i dont believe that we will ever travel anywhere close to the speed of light. If life exists on other planets we probally will never see it nor will it see us.

    i beleive that there is life elsewhere in the universe...not little green men, or anything humanoid looking for that matter. When you think about it...everytime we think of an alien, or see aliens in movies, they are all very terrestrial...they always resemble something on earth....whether it be humanoid, or insect like, or a friggen octopus alien, they always resemble something here on earth. I got bored one day in english, and decided i would draw an alien...but it couldn&#39;t look like anything i&#39;ve seen before. I failed horribly&#33; it always resembled something terrestrial. Whe i tried to think of ways it would move itself, it always had legs, or something to that liking, or ways of communicating...it always ended up resembling things oin earth, such as the way it functions...etc etc... I found that i was too busy with preconcieved notions about what life has to be like, and therefore, i couldn&#39;t make something extra-terrestrial. Sorry, i sorta trailed off, just thought it was a good point to make. Anyway, i think there is life on other planets, perhaps not in form we can identify, but there none-the-less.

    I definately agree with you on that.

    Of course it&#39;s hard to draw extra-terrestrial creatures. Considering that you have only lived on earth, you haven&#39;t the slightest idea of what creatures from other planets would look like. And since you&#39;ve only seen terrestrial creatures, anything you draw, no matter how hard you try, will likely resemble something terrestrial.

    I&#39;m confused, are you trying to say that people have never observed a UFO through a telescope ? Are you claiming that there are more telescopes watching the skies than there are human eyes ? I&#39;m not saying there are or aren&#39;t alien ships flying around earth, I just think your logic is a bit off.

    Also, what makes you think it is only "toothless hicks" that see UFO&#39;s ? Would you consider a few thousand people in Mexico City a "toothless hick".

    What is your definition of life?


    I don&#39;t believe that little green aliens are out there, but I do believe that something else is out there. Just a feeling.

    Notice the large front hole. This is used to see out of, reproduce with, excrete and eat with. around the mouth are gills similar to that a fish, which breathe in milk(semi-skimmed), and produce honeysuckle plants during the warmer months.
    The blades on top are similar to that of a helipcopter, giving the alien the ability to fly.

    Of course life exists elsewhere in the universe, even if the statistcal chance of life taking hold were next to zero we would have to assume there are millions, perhaps billions of examples of life elsewhere. As far as visiting Earth, I doubt any intelligent civilizations have come here. Anyone with technology to travel the distances between stars would have no interest in a planet so primitive as Earth, unless they meant to conquer us.

    Well, as revolutionaries I don&#39;t think we should worry too much about this question. But it doesn&#39;t hurt to ponder every once in a while, so why not.

    I have never seen a UFO and I think that the majority of eyewitness accounts are either fake or can be explained by some strange type of natural phenomenon. Also, the people who have seen aliens and give human features to them are also probably lying. For a creature to resemble a human that must mean that it has a common ancestor as us and therefore must have evolved here on Earth. That is unless there is somehow another planet that evolved similar to our own.

    I think some scientist used some mathematical formula to estimate the number of other planets that could contain life. I can&#39;t remember the exact value but it is much greater than zero.

    In a Universe that is hundreds of quadrillions of light-years large, one in which we have only traveled only light-seconds... yeah, I think that there are aliens.

    As for the UFO thing: that&#39;s a load of shit. If we haven&#39;t been far out of the solar system, how would other speicies go much farther?
