So, the gov. knows about them. But they don't want billions of people freaking out. So, many years have been used to prime the public. Movies like ET, Star Trek, etc. Who would fear Mr. Spock? Then add scary movies like Alien, The Day the Earth Stood Still, etc. But we came out OK in those too. District Nine, Alien Nation, etc, they are already here. So, I hope they are more like Vulcans than Klingons. Wookies rule! Princess Leah can stay at my house.

If you follow through with this logic you couldn't fly an airplane for fear of bumping into a spacecraft there would be so many of them. If every millionth galaxy was capable of space travel we'd be loaded with them.

I knew a couple who swore they were visited by aliens in the middle of the night.
I asked them, "So you're telling me that visitors from another galaxy came here in search of intelligent life, and they missed it by one house?"

Speaking of UFOS in NM.
This one in IMO is one of the best-

I've talked to people that I consider a good source of information that are sure that UFO's, Bigfoot, Ghosts exist. Having never experienced any of the previous I have no reason to believe in them, a possibility sure...no facts or scientific data to back them up...I'm out. I have heard a wierd call while camping way up North that I could not identify that raised the hair on the back of my neck, I've heard cougars make different sounds but nothing like that one. I knew a guy that claimed to have worked with the National Geographic Society and their study on Bigfoot, he told plenty of stories but when asked "Do you believe it exists?" He said as much as he'd like to he still has doubts because nobody he considered relevant had ever seen one or remains enough to scientifically prove it.
I'd like to believe in ghosts and have gone out of my way to sleep in "haunted" houses and caves...no dice for me. I've heard stuff but there always was something that made the sound. Once I near tore a furnace apart looking for the racket, turned out to be an attachment on the exhaust that flapped and made a tapping sound, everybody else in the family said the place was haunted...your imagination will definitely play mind games on your sense of reality.

If you were a highly intelligent life form
capable of traveling through vast spaces,
would you keep coming back to this
planet decade after decade after decade?
I suppose so if just to find out just how
far stupid can go.

How so?
I never said they'd all be capable of intergalactic navigation. Some may be knuckle draggers or microbes. Not every civilization would be advanced enough, and if some were, what would they all want to visit here for. We maybe a rather boring to them, a mere curiosity.

I seen round shined objects flying over a resivour on two seperate days. Being on my motorcycle the reflection caught my eye.
Search for valiant Thor he was from Venus and visited Ike our president for some time. He wanted to help us and we didn't listen.
I wish they would contact me..........I would love to see and understand there technology.

The bits and pieces of the truth is coming out.
Look at the Bible, the giant we just killed in Afghanistan? Noah's ark they found. The Dead Sea schrolls. Read everything you can the truth is out there.

One thing seems highly likely:
No matter where and whether UFO's, aliens, other world and lifeforms exist, they are probably not conforming to our limited imagination stuck in the Newtonian (and only to a certain degree the quantum) universe, from flying saucers to aliens that look like humans after plastic surgery gone sideways

I kinda skimmed this thread and didn't see the most important question...
What would be the best caliber/gun against an alien?

Iiilidium X-3 Modulator.

I was working the midnight shift in the "Special Weapons" area at Clark Air Base, PI, and was with another AP, as the area was a 2 man zone.
We were looking up at the stars when my partner said "hi mom, hi dad, I'll be joining you soon. I asked him what he meant and he stated he was "from another planet".
I mentioned this to the Supervisors and he was transferred out of the Air Police, but I have no idea where he went.

Loaded with black hole-a-points.
Because it obstructs his view of Venus...I miss that stuff.
Likely an elementary question:
Since watching NASA near all our lives.
It was always hold your breath time whenever
one of our modules or shuttle returned.
Protecting the heat shield was paramount.
How do they enter out atmosphere ?

We are flying planes and doing things in our lives that no one would have believed possible 60-70 years ago. The F-80 and the Ryan Fireball were things of amazement. The F-80 engine initially had a life of 25 hours unless you got two hot starts and then it was changed even if it had only five hours. Look at the size and thrust of engines and what they now propel. A car was just bare transportation, look at them now.
Space travel, who would have believed it? I am just saying that anything is possible, even if we do not now understand or believe it. We can type a lot of words but none of us really know.

I try to keep an open mind about such things. Waiting on hard facts and evidence, not blurry photos/videos.
What I find more interesting are the cattle mutilations mostly found out west. Not meaning to hi jack the thread but do your own search.

There are many things I used to be skeptical about. Two I no longer am. One is ghosts and the other UFO's.
East Texas tends to be a mecca of sorts for weird craft. Back in the late 70's early 80's the Houston Chronicle did a story on an incident near Dayton, Texas. Several of the witnesses were laughed at...until they started coming down with radiation sickness.
My case was the wee hours of a Sunday morning working the overnight shift. I was in close proximity to not only Bush IAH but the Port of Houston and "Refinery Row". What I saw was a bright red light to the northeast doing manuvers that no conventional aircraft could do before shooting up at a monsterous rate of speed and out of site. There was NO WAY it could have not appeared on Bush's radar. I always suspected it was something of ours and not ET in origin as that close to several major cities, a major airport, numerous refineries and a world class port that if it wasn't known, interceptors would've been dispatched from Ellington Field or San Antonio to check it out.

I've seen one, by myself, but convincing enough to become a believer. Religion aside, we'd be foolish to believe that we're alone. Also believe that our atmosphere and water is ripe for harvesting by unknowns - like what happened to Mars. Too much sifi for me.

I also just watched "The Phenomenon". What caught my attention was that about 13 minutes in, they showed the front page of the Binghamton Press from 1952, my hometown newspaper!
Now on to my story: This takes place in the early 1960's, and I was probably around 10 or 12 years old. A bunch of family members were sitting at a picnic table at our summer cottage in northeast PA, just south of Binghamton. Probably around 5 or 6 in the evening. I looked up to the east, and saw a large, silver, cigar shaped object about a quarter mile away. It appeared stationary, but elevated about 30 degrees. Probably the size of typical passenger airliner was in the day, but no wings or engines visible. I turned to others at the table to ask if they see it. My aunt said she did. By the time I looked back, it took off like the proverbial bat out of hell. No sign of it after that, all though there were many other UFO reports that summer around that time, mostly attributed to "swap gas". Don't know what I saw, but swamp gas is a really hard sell for me.

While I do believe in the existence of Extraterrestrial Life, I'm highly skeptical of the existence of advanced Extraterrestrial civilization capable of interstellar travel, much less that even if they do exist that they'd ever bother to visit this planet frequently enough to account for every single UFO sighting in history.
I suspect that most UFO sightings are experimental military aircraft which may appear to be extremely advanced to the lay person, but is merely cutting-edge terrestrial aeronautics technology which is often times never seen again simply because it was either too expensive or otherwise not reliable enough to qualify for mass production/adoption.
I believe this is also why you seldom hear of mass UFO sightings over a major Metropolitan city, but rather in more sparsely populated rural areas. Because if you're going to field test top secret military aircraft that is practically impossible to do without civilians taking notice, then you build your base out in the sticks and test-fly your aircraft over farmland where very few folks will likely be awake to see it, and those who are will most likely be dismissed as either drunks or simple country folk who can't tell a jet from a flying saucer. Besides, even if folks believe them, what exactly did they see? They can't very well see any high-speed aircraft flying high in the sky in at night with any detail or clarity, so it doesn't really matter, and if they want to believe that it's some ultra-advanced spacecraft which is completely beyond anything the military could possibly build, then all the better.
But hey, that's honestly just my opinion, and I've never seen a UFO because I live in the suburbs near an airport, so even if I did see one, I would most likely automatically dismiss it as terrestrial aircraft unless it was something particularly spectacular that I could see with a level of clarity which likely exceeds what my eyesight is even capable of unless the darn thing were hovering right over my backyard. So if you truly believe that you saw an honest to goodness extraterrestrial interstellar spacecraft while completely sober, then who am I to question it?
Heck, I generally avoid questioning the beliefs of others in general because as far as I'm concerned, reality is irrelevant towards belief, ergo if someone believes in something then it is real to them, thus rendering their thoughts, feelings, and opinions on the matter entirely valid. Besides, my own beliefs include supernatural forces which completely defy human comprehension, so who am I to question something which is objectively easier to believe such as extraterrestrial drive-by tourists?
Lastly, I would just like to add that I do not believe in Extraterrestrial Human Abduction, particularly those which claim to have been experimented on sexually for the purpose of creating hybrid lifeforms, on the grounds that I would imagine that any advanced extraterrestrial civilization capable of interstellar travel must be aware by now that there are plenty of human beings who would happily submit to such experimentation of their own free will. Seriously, they could scope out any Star Trek, Star Wars, or any other Sci-Fi Convention, follow some of those folks home, then merely beam down one of their finer specimens dressed up in a way that would appeal to the target demographic, then simply politely ask if they would like to take part in an interstellar breeding program. Somehow I doubt they'd be universally denied, even if they're a race of space squids or something, they'd probably get at least a few eager participants.
