    Yes, I believe there is intelligent life somewhere else in the universe, probably all over the universe.

    No, I don't think they have visited us yet, in fact, unless they have sub-light engines in space-craft, it's unlikely they ever will visit us.

    sub-light? who's going to travel a few hundred years to visit this dump?

    Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
    And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
    That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
    A sun that is the source of all our power.
    The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
    Are moving at a million miles a day
    In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
    Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
    It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
    It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
    But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
    We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
    We go 'round every two hundred million years,
    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
    In this amazing and expanding universe.

    The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
    In all of the directions it can whizz
    As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
    Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
    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
    .

    I saw one years back. well it was flying and I couldnt identify it, so UFO covers it. Secret plane, alien? no clue, but would go the secret plane route. Very impressive maneuvers out of it anyway. right angle turns at pretty high speed.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    They saw UFO's. Lots of them.

    Hmm, Ads by google recommending something I might like based on 1 particular post. You're good Google, real good.

    Well, it is entirely possible that we're some sort of intergalactic freak show that alien societies pay two quatloos for a gander.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,267 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Yes there is something up there I think, what it could be I dont have a clue. You have to me small minded to believe there is not life outside our planet, but those that life posses the power and means to visit us, I doubt it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,219 ✭✭✭✭biko


    There's not need to come very close to us, I'm sure they can tell from what we broadcast that we're not a very friendly, happy planet.

    Inter-galactic tourists on a face-palm tour of the universe. This is the last stop on their itinerary, because they have to keep the best example till last.

    Look up Michio Kaku on youtube. There's a lot of interesting video's of him talking about the existence of aliens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭toiletduck


    I thought I saw one once and made a big deal about it to my friends. However I was very drunk.

    I believe there's alien life out there. I'd be amazed if there weren't. But I really don't think they're visiting here. And surely if there's as many UFOs buzzing around as claimed, astronomers and others who are actually trained to look at the sky and know what's what would be filing reports in their thousands.

    I would imagine most people have seen a UFO

    Anyone who has ever looked up -seen something unusual and asked themselves "what the f€ck is that ?" has seen a UFO

    When they realise its actually a bird/plane/superman the UFO becomes an IFO

    The 1977 Wow Signal remains a source of intrigue...

    I have abducted and probed.

    Does that count?

    What makes you think that they would operate by our limited rules of physics? That's a close-minded argument.

    If one accepts that intelligent life exists outside of our solar system (which it certainly does) - then we must also accept that many civilizations will have a much deeper understanding of the cosmos and how to transverse it.

    100 years ago, we were still learning to fly - What makes you think that a civilization with 10,000 or even 100,000 years of advancement on us wouldn't be able to cross space in a short span of time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,472 ✭✭✭Rockshamrover


    Chances are, they are already here, living amongst us. Posting in this very thread. Planning our annihilation (cue X Files music)

    Have you ever suspected that some of your fellow posters are aliens?

    "Abducting" a vibrator from Ann Summers and ramming it up your arse does'nt count!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    I think a lot of stories are pure ****e but they are still great ****ing stories all the same. It's that 1% out of 100% that really makes ya wonder what else is out there.

    i wouldnt be a fan of such per say.

    My arse is for ****ting and farting... and the odd scratching. nothing else


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46,938 ✭✭✭✭Nodin


    ...if its races of little buggers with big eyes and a need to stick things up peoples asses, I'd rather not wonder at all.....Who would have thought the universe was like German porn....


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,838 ✭✭✭midlandsmissus


    I've had some very realistic dreams of being abducted. Either I have sleep paralysis, have very bad nightmares, or am actually being abducted, I don't know.
    They were very very realistic and frightening, who knows what the hell is going on.

    If they exist, they would be here.
