You misunderstand me Skals, flashing lights could be their technology, I think its entirely possible that an alien craft with flashing lights could fly over us, but what I'm saying is, there's so many fakes, that you just cant believe those stories. A bunch of idiots ruined it so that no one can make a serious testimony of a UFO sighting, just because idiots filled the history of UFO sightings with bullshit. I for one, don't believe any of the UFO stories, although i know they could be true.

If I see a UFO for myself, I might be open to suggestion, but to this day i haven't seen anything in the sky i didn't recognize.

well if we shot down their space ship, they probably would be hostile... and if they attack us, well send som dark matter bombs on them
Actually, the shooting down of their space ship part might have already happened. I am sure some of you here have heard of the "Roswell incident" of 1947. That's where the military recovered not just the UFO wreckage but also the bodies of 6 aliens and at least one live one. This is perhaps the most famous UFO case of all time.

Crap, we're screwed.

I'm actually not sure what to make of Roswell, if the military shot down the alien craft, well then they fail for that. It might have just crashed though.

Tito, its most likely that that was a weather balloon with dummy's for a drop test. Your bringing it like its evidence. And if you can tame the dangers of space, then no human build weapon is going to shoot down your spaceship. I dont know where people get the arrogance to think that.

Look, the reason on how or why a UFO managed to crashed in the Nevada desert in 1947 does not matter, what matters is one allegedly did. Everybody that's anybody that follows this story from beginning to end knows that the U.S. Air Force story about weather balloon with dummies is complete, utter bullshit. Hell, there's even been a couple of high ranking Air Force officers that have gone on record and with signed testimony saying the weather balloon story is a complete made up story to help deflate the Roswell dilemma. And these two officers were part of the team of "spinners" in charge of coming up with this story. The funny thing is, one of them was found dead with an apparent self inflicting gun shot to the head a few weeks later. The other one went in to hiding and is believed to be in Europe somewhere. That story about the weather balloons and dummies has been discredited time and time again by so many experts and former military people over the years.

Tito you should put some pictures in that text. :D
The only way the aliens could reach is, would be if they new how to travel through dimensions. There are already ideas that there are lot of dimensions but we don't understand them, yet.

Are you sure deathan? I don't think being far away in space means its another dimension.
Posted 15 years ago2008-09-20 19:16:27 UTC Post #255806
I think Deathen is just talking about sheer travel time, in which case distance doesn't really have any meaning when higher dimensions come into play.

Folding a sheet of paper so that the corners touch allows a bug on the paper to "instantly jump" from one end of the paper to the other, without having to walk the long way across the paper. That's how the third dimension works in the real world.
^ This is the most common example for understanding higher dimensions, by the way.

Read Rob Bryanton's "Imagining the Tenth Dimension" and Brian Greene's "The Fabric of te Cosmos" if you're into that sort of thing :)

This thread is really lulz.

Anyway, it's fairly obvious in my eyes that the majority of UFO sightings are just American aircraft tests, obviously they'd look different to the aircraft out now, and they all happen in America (generally near area 51, which is most likely an airfield)

... stop being so self centered, if there were aliens they wouldn't just go to America anyway.

Secondly, there's no proof that a civilization could be more advanced than us at all. It's more than likely that there is life in the universe, but it's also likely that that life is undeveloped. Micro-organisms etc...

Believing that there's a civilization more advanced than us that has come up with the same concepts of flight, intelligence, spying etc is just absurd because it's impossible that they'd develop the same as us. We're more likely to find fish people that make houses out of seaweed. :D
Posted 15 years ago2008-09-20 20:19:29 UTC Post #255808
I think that if there are aliens out there, there most likely are aliens similar to the animals of this planet, like bugs, fishes etc.

Of course there's something else out there. The universe is too big for there not to be something.

I don't know about having crazy technology that allows them to fly to other galaxies, though.

I think most UFOs are secret planes from various countries.

Man, what a long thread... even if most if not all sightings are fake, aliens exist somewhere. in not in our universe, then an alternate one. remember: EVERYTHING is possible. even the combine invading earth. it may be improbable, but never impossible. and darkmatter? Uh... I dont think weve attempted to harness that yet. after all, do you see the earth NOT destroyed by some powerful force? (correct me If Im wrong, doesnt darkmater have too much power to be used properly by us, only 4000 years old as a race?)

Humans as we are have only been around for the past 200,000 or so years. The earliest form of life recorded on Earth is 3 billion years old. We have evolved to what we are in 3 billion years. Now, the universe is estimated to be over 14 billion years old, and that's just by human estimation.

If we are right about the universe's age, then there is an 11-billion-year gap before us for other life to develop, whereas there is only a 3-billion-year gap for life to develop after us. In this case, it should be obvious that if there is life out there, they are most likely much older than us.

On the other hand, if we are wrong about the universe's age, we at least know that the Earth is around 4.6 billion in age. Assuming Earth started with the universe, there is still a 1.6 billion-year gap between the beginning and life on Earth. Or maybe the universe is even older than we think, in which case there is an immeasurable timeframe between the beginning and life on Earth.

Supposedly theres supposed to be enough alternate universes to have every possible variation.

So in theory, there IS an alternate universe where earth gets invaded by combine

There is an alternate universe where valve is the worst video game maker ever.

There is an alternate universe where the combine invades earth and valve becomes the planets militia, and destroys the combine planet in the 7 hour war.

See? Its headache inducing to think that theres a universe for EVERY possible variation of everything. :/

BTW, the various military agencies of the world are probably watching this thread and laughing their asses off.

You would be hard-pressed to find someone who believe's we are the only life, period. That's not the argument. People argue over whether its possible for said life to reach us, in this dimension, this universe, and this particular time.
Again with the age of life on Earth, though. People seem to ignore how young Earth life really is.

I'm trying to say religion is as much unbelievable as UFOs. If you get offended from that... well... I get offended from all the things religion does, so I'm carring a heavier weight than you.
To YOU, religion is unbelievable as UFOs. Let's just ignore everyone else's beliefs, because obviously you're opinions and beliefs are more valid than everyone elses.

Also, how the FUCK does religion offend you? Carrying a heavier weight? That doesn't even make any fucking sense. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Well, World Crafter explained very well the theory of dimensions, and the fact that we just can't understand them. Just like the two dimensional being couldn't understand 3rd dimension.
Potatis just said fishes. lolenglish
From wiki: Fish does have a regular plural form, but it differs in meaning from the unmarked plural; fishes refers to several species or other taxonomic types, while fish (plural) is used to describe multiple individual animals: one would say "the order of fishes," but "five fish in an aquarium." The plural fishes is found in the King James Bible, in the miracle of the loaves and fishes, for example, and is sometimes used for rhetorical emphasis, as in phrases like sleep with the fishes.

@Doodle, area 51 is an airfield know as Groom Lake AFB, located in Groom Lake, which is a no-fly area for all non-military flights. Entering this means getting shot down by a F-16. I got a official map of the area.

On another note, a certain molecule that is believed to be responsible, if not an important part of life has been found in intergalactic clouds.

WC: I've heard they got an even more exact age of the universe.
I read it in a science magazine about a year ago, where they said recent observations shows that it is 18 billion years old.
Would you happen to know anything about that because I haven't find anything that confirms it.
NASA's website states that it is around 13.7 billion years old. I thought they used to believe it was 14.7?
What a mess.

It doesn't matter how specific you get. We know that the universe is at least "so and so" billion years old from these stars, and that leaves a massive gap between the beginning of everything, and the beginning of us.
Posted 15 years ago2008-09-21 16:49:29 UTC Post #255899
You're right. Why do you need a big expensive telescope to tell you that old universe is old?

This giant gap is actually the creation of matter, stars, galaxies, etc etc

I don't mean there isn't a gap, I'm just saying after the Big Bang there's a big period where the stars and all the stuff on the universe were just hydrogen clouds

Let's say this UFO is the real deal, then flashing lights might not be as stupid as it might first seem.

If they want to contact us or something, flashing lights is a great way to get attention :P
Posted 15 years ago2008-09-21 20:38:00 UTC Post #255905
If they want to get attention, they should fly somewhere where there are a lot of people. Over a big city or an airport.
And they should also make a lot of noise. Let us hear some alien music!

It's probably better to be a little sneaky at first, to "warm us up" to the idea that we are not alone. If I were an Alien, I'd tell the others to put some blinking lights on the spaceships and then fly around all over the earth. First just a little, then more and more until everyone and their grandma has seen a UFO. That's when I'd make contact, when everyone has gotten used to it basically.

But the age of the universe is an important question

comment on the original video

It sure was a UFO, but it might not be aliens, if that video wasn't all bullshit. I think more then five people would have seen it.

Someone typed something about it being a bad idea to fly in our airspace, for all to see. To that I say, if they have that kind of technology, they might think that we're to "primal" and unintelligent to even care about.

However, it might also have been some sort of test of new technology made by us. But in that case it would be a stupid idea to fly around like that...

Oh, I just heard on the intercom that it's the Klingons! :o
