I do not believe we have been visited by UFOs. But I believe life is out there somewhere...especially if you include lifeforms that would not traditionally be what we consider Aliens. As far as higher intelligence beings...there are just too many universes and solar systems out there too not have at least one that could have supported them. Whether we will ever find it is a whole other thing. At least that is what I get lost thinking about when I am perusing the stars at night. Btw-my nine-year-old son was watching his first episode with me this morning when you mentioned my name. He got a pretty big kick out of that...as did I.
I love the idea of Aliens and UFO's. But i think that they dont have any interest in our planet, other then harvesting our sun :P
I am in perfect agreement with you on UFO's, Fraser. To quote Carl Sagan, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". And we don't even have a sliver of evidence that UFO's can be explained as extraterrestrial beings. Oh wait - there were those gray bodies discovered in Roswell - NOT.
The chances that other planets with the ideal for life conditions we have on earth are very slim. However as we have found even here on earth life is pernicious. Given half a chance it will thrive and evolution appears to at least permit if not favor more complex life forms to develop. If this is so then given to breath of space and the age of the universe they it is certain that complex life will have developed elsewhere but the universe is vast and the limitations imposed by not being able to travel at any significant percentage of light speed most likely means that although many intelligent life forms will have developed they are so dispersed in space and time we will never encounter them. It seems a shame, think of the fun we could have comparing stories.
UFO’s or wot? While it is reasonable to expect that other life forms exist in other parts of the universe, is it not just possible that what people have reported seeing here and call UFO’s are in fact visitors from our future. They would appear in many types of craft, all of which are designed to operate in an atmosphere, because they would come from a wide range of future times. The occupants could also come in many different forms because they are the result of genetic engineering to produce variants on the basic human form over a long period of time. This idea is of course far fetched, but no more so than the idea that little green men come across vast distances in tiny little aircraft just to pay fleeting visits and not establish any formal contact. Just think about it.
Have you seen the footage from the STS-48 and 80 missions? /watch?v=K0lmTuIakR4
