"There are some hundred billion (1011) galaxies, each with, on the average, a hundred billion stars. In all the galaxies, there are perhaps as many planets as stars, 1011 x 1011 = 1022, ten billion trillion. In the face of such overpowering numbers, what is the likelihood that only one ordinary star, the Sun, is accompanied by an inhabited planet? Why should we, tucked away in some forgotten corner of the Cosmos, be so fortunate? To me, it seems far more likely that the universe is brimming over with life. But we humans do not yet know. We are just beginning our explorations. The only planet we are sure is inhabited is a tiny speck of rock and metal, shining feebly by reflected sunlight, and at this distance utterly lost."
No I do not believe that there are aliens coming here, but the posibility that there are some out there, that is posible.
My family and I saw a UFO in the summer of 1986. We were pretty flipped out over it, my little brother started crying. It was a giant disk with amber lights. Several neighbors also saw it and we were really amazed how quickly it flew off into the sky.
i cant wait for the day that they think we are advanced enough to make contact with us - if i was in their position i would be very hesitant to make contact with a planet which has so many wars and violent disagreements
They're mostly witnessed in various parts of America...by individuals who just happened to have had a few drinks...well lots of drinks actually...that same night.
I have seen some craft which did things that would leave a human pilot as a grease spot on a cockpit bulkhead. Craft that can travel 100 miles from left to right as fast as you can turn your head to track it, and then change direction so abruptly that if there was a human pilot ini t, his spine would have been compacted like an aluminium beer can.
Evie, I’ve been meaning to tell you this for along time now. But, that was not a U.F.O. sighting that you saw that night. What you saw was actually me hovering over you while I was running away from “La Policia” The lights that you may have seen flashing was a result of a delayed visual effect which came from the lights of the police cars. Just kidding
Check out these 2 on Crop Circles: "Exploring the Designs & Mysteries: Crop Circles" by Werner Anderhub and Hans Peter Roth Lark Books Division of Sterling Publishing Co. NY; 2002 "Messages From Space" Shame about the title, perhaps it was chosen to bring attention to its publication. By Jay Goldner/ 2004A definitive collection of circles and a follow up to the 1974 coded messages sent by SETI via the world's largest telescope reflector...27 years later something did come back...It did not make some people happy. Or for an update of what is going on in the top Labs all over the US and overseas, due to UFO activities for over 50 years. Get a copy of "Sight Unseen" by Bud Hopkins and Carol Rainey. The latest R & D will knock socks off..Book is out in both soft and hard cover. If you love Science and Research, get it.
It's not about ignorance. It's about math and propability (and biology, chemistry and physics, if you will).
Odds are poor for life elsewhere, despite the magnitude of the universe.
What do you mean by "life existed before man"? A little reminder: humans are a form of life. The existence of life or humans on earth is irrelevant for the rest of the universe.
I talked about math as general tool to assign a probability for the existence of life elsewhere in the universe not about actually detecting it. There either is or is not other life out there. Most likely we will never get an answer to this question due to distance issues. I just believe that the likelyhood for "yes" is very very small.
