In ALIENS? I took the family to see "Dark Skies" and it got me to thinking, what do I believe and what do others believe?
Do you believe?

I think that there is a high possibility of life somewhere out in the space. I don't think they will look green, or somehow like we imagine them in TV.

I think we have bigger threats to worry about.
I believe in God and Smith and Wesson.

Watch the movie CONTACT. It explains a lot.

I know how bad the Zombie and Big Foot problem is in my neighborhood, so I'm sure an Alien infestation will be next. All this right after we exterminated the Unicorns which caused so many traffic accidents right after closing time for bars on Friday and Saturday nights!

I find it hard to believe that we are the only planet that has intelligent life, out of the hundreds of billions of stars, just in our galaxy. I don't even know how many galaxies there are, but to believe we are the only ones I think would be folly. Whether they are advanced enough to travel across vast distances is another question. This discussion could be lengthy!

Oh I believe it likely life exists elsewhere in the universe..
However UFO's..alien abduction...little humanoids and the like...this I figure is most probably attributable to time-traveling descendents of ours..if there's any truth to it at all?

The Egyptians were the the only ones to harness their power. Oh, those and the people that built Easter Island.

One only needs to take a few weeks and visit Peru's Nazca, Machu Pichu, Mexico's Pyramide de la Luna, and the numerous Central American ancient sites, and couple that with a visit or more of Egypt's ancient pyramids (as my wife, myself, and children have several times) to answer the OP's question.

I agree with all you say, though some mornings I wonder how intelligent life is on this planet. I think all politicians are aliens as they act like they are from a different planet.
I don't doubt
I don't doubt that there is life all over the universe and probably even all over our own galaxy. Finding it though, with the distances involved will be nigh impossible. I can't see us making any contact and if we do they probably aren't interested in us. I surely don't think anybody would come from several hundred light years away just to check us out.

Not so much in visiting us here because if they were to come here I feel they would drop in from time to time for a beer and to swap stories about their exploits around the universe.
However I do believe there is life other than us in the galaxy and in fact all around the universe. With all the planets out there we would be foolish to think we are the only life around.

Yes, they exist. The USPS puts neckties on them and they become managers.

If you were an alien and studied us earthlings, would you want to come here.

Most of the arguments against the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life that I've heard are as fatuous as anything I've ever heard from a 9/11 "truther".
Probably the STUPIDEST argument I've heard is, "Why would they come HERE?" Probably for the same reason that White men (and Japanese) went to Guadalcanal... it's on the way to some place else.

If you were a Virginian and you studied the Comanches, would you want to go to Texas?If you were an alien and studied us earthlings, would you want to come here.

I also believe that intelligent life elsewhere is a certainty. What are their chances of getting here? Pretty darned small. I put it at about the same level that we discover evidence that an advanced civilisation once lived on Earth and was destroyed by one of the many natural calamities the planet has suffered.

If I lived in Oklahoma probably, is this a trick question?

Of course I believe in aliens, there are lots of videos of them crossing our fence and the Rio Grande river. However the stunning part is they all are only going in one direction.
On a more serious note, I can tell you that I have listened to some very smart people and seen a few things I cannot explain. One that happened to me was back in 1998 when I was on my way home from work about midnight and it was one heck of a snowstorm. I remember seeing something, heck I don't know what it was, over the highway and I can see it plain as I recall it now. It was lit up pretty good and I have never seen anything like it before or since. I had a CB radio in my pickup and every truck driver within sight of this thing was shouting like crazy because none of them knew what it was either. Was it an alien, I don't know, can't tell you. All I know is the thing was huge it was standing still and it was snowing to darn near blizzard conditions so I can't imagine any helicopter out in that mess and down that low. I remember the thing to me had the shape just like the wooden triangle used to rack up billiard balls and it was lit up big time. Who knows, but I can tell you I think with the smarts some of the ancient civilizations had, the Aztecs, the Mayans, the Egyptians, and a few others I really think they had some help. I mean think about it you have people out there now who can't figure out Legos without a computer, the pyramids and other great wonders were built with no power tools let alone the engineering skills to design them. To me there is just too much info from too many credible people out there to say otherwise. Also the fact of the sightings in places of note like Stonehenge and Jerusalem among others. All one has to do it look at some of the images the big telescopes like the Hubble have picked up and it gives you an idea how small we really are in the grand scheme of things. I think God definitely made this planet, but I don't think he made us alone.

I don't know if "they" exist, but do know that I seen something
in the early 80's, that, to this day, I can't figure out what it was.
At the time, a close friend had his own, small, commercial air service and I spent a
lot of time helping him, either in the air, or doing things around the airport,
both day & night. Whatever I seen that night didn't look like anything that
I had seen, before or since. On top of that, it was BIG & quiet.
Being the logical sort, I figured that there had to be a logical explanation so I never
called anybody that night. The next day I found this article interesting reading.
The location reported in the article is about 2 miles from where I seen "it."
To this day, one of the biggest regrets in my life was not
driving right up to it, which I could have easily done.

I am 100% sure there is life and intelligent life on other planets. I am equally sure that, unless they have found a way to violate the laws of physics, as we know them, that none of them have been here to visit this planet. In simplest terms, no one travels 10,000 miles to get something that is readily available locally. Why would any intelligent being waste the time and energy interstellar travel requires to obtain the same chemical elements they already have? Beyond the laws of physics, economic sense also proscribes interstellar "shopping".
There was also a great comic in the paper this morning. The observation was made that with all the cell phone cameras available now you would think there would be a lot more UFO pictures circulating.

Only alien I ever had contact with was my 7th Grade teacher. Red Hair & green eyes & did not like us earthlings.

Gas Giant?
We have an invisible shield that protects us from visitors.
The "I Love Lucy" show was not on cable. It was radiated out into space (using high wattage antenna's) with all other electromagnetic radiation. It was radiated out beginning in the early 1950's and is now over 60 light years away in all directions.
It and "The Honeymooners" will cause nausea and anxiety to any advanced civilization with bigger brains. They will turn away and declare this end of the universe contaminated.
However the Incas did welcome the Conquistadores with open arms not knowing they were carrying smallpox?
Real aliens would be from smoggy contaminated planets with cable communications. (Like the planet Jupiter?). They would need to be born here in order to survive our high oxygen low gravity situation. They would infiltrate our scientists and get Jupiter called a "gas giant". Even though every scientist knows every gas compresses into a liquid or solid. High gravity gas giant is a contradiction in terms ha ha ha we have been fooled again.

I believe in aliens, like David LaPell said. You can see them often on contruction sites and doing lawn work. I believe in UFOs, too. I just don't believe UFOs are piloted by aliens. I think we (humans) are the highest life form in all the universe, period.
