    If they're indeed out there, and as we have been sending signals out to space for quite a long time now, it's going to happen at some stage so why not now?

    Big Brother is on, that's reason enough to stay away from this planet.

    if they have flying saucer's they might have had the intelligence to work a remote control...

    Good point.

    Then again, maybe it's a test? They've apparently experimented on cows, so maybe they want to go one step up the intelligence ladder and they're here to find those who follow Big Brother?

    apparently research has found that once those signals leave our solar system they become nothing more than indecipherable noise

    this has always intrigued me,

    Why travel millions of lightyears across the universe just to harass rednecks in America and sheep Shaggers in Wales.

    advanced civilisation me Ar$e, what was that thing in the HHGTTG about Alien Pranksters?

    if there are other species out there who are just as advanced as us and they look at out planet through telescopes they will see earth 600 years ago,
    it will take that long for the image of earth to reach them.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,944 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    I will believe in aliens when they are outside my door.

    Tho saying that when I was out in the country side one night I did see a shape like this "/\" in the air with 3 lights perside and it was travelling much faster than a plane and boom it was gone in a few seconds.

    So idk.

    How far in the past they'll see us depends on how far away they are.

    yes that is very true and it is impossible to tell but bill bryson's guess was that it would be during the french revolution, is mad.

    what happens if the aliens disguise themselves as humans like in that film "They Live", they may already be here and we wouldn't know any different :D

    Naaaaaa, BS travels faster than the speed of light! Just observe the 2008 American presidential campaign for proof.

    What?

    Overly PC? You do realise that spelling and grammar have nothing to do with political correctness?

    EDIT: Actually why am I even asking when the evidence points to no.

    Damnit. I have no tin foil.

    Will cling film do?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,999 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    Urrgh, That picture of gerry ryan on the side of the page made me feel sick :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Jimbo


    South Wales Police denied there was a pursuit and indicated that the helicopter crew was never in any danger.
    The coverup begins...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,368 ✭✭✭thelordofcheese


    look, i'm really sorry, we were just playing a prank on the helicopter pilot. It's amazing what four hats nicked from ascot and a small motor can do...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    So why would we need tinfoil hats then?

    its from that godawful mel gibson movie "signs" if i remember correctly, the characters thought that by wearing tinfoil hats they would block out the aliens mind control

    Oh they're out there IMO. I mean considering what we've been transmitting radio signals for how many decades? Dozens of stars fall within that range. Bet you someone has picked up on the signal by now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Hmmm I thought tinfoil hats were to protect against mind control rays from earthly sources...surely a civilisation advanced enough to master interstellar travel wouldn't have any of their mind control weapons thwarted by a half a mm of aluminium.

    Cover your head with foil. Then they'll think you're a robot and won't bother with you:)
