Do You Believe in Extraterrestrial Aliens?

[Tytoowns]

That's interesting, Tytoowns that you say you did get a signal without a clear message. However, you did get a signal.

Well I never said that I received a radio signal I said we and meant it as humanity but I wasn't clear enough and wrote it incorrectly. What I meant is that the "wow signal" was the first signal that we received from outer space. (that was in 1977) Since then we have received many radio signals from outer space, but this does not mean that intelligent life has sent it though as a lot of Stars, planets and galaxies produce radio waves and could be interpreted as "aliens" trying to send a message. But an interesting fact about radio waves is that scientists and astronomers used certain radio waves to map the Milky Way Galaxy.

On the subject of certain architecture on this planet, the Great Pyramid specifically, it has been speculated to have been built by aliens, and it's quite possible. It was suggested that man could not have had the means to place those stones so precisely as they are, as at the time the Great Pyramid was built man did not have the building knowledge and tools needed.

That's very interesting but I don't think that its likely at all. Whoever suggested that, man could not have had the means to place those stones so precisely as they are, as at the time the Great Pyramid was built man did not have the building knowledge and tools needed, is wrong. You can check out this great site here that explains a lot of it and is a very interesting read. And if you think about it logically its extremely more likely that humans built it than aliens came from outer space and built stone pyramids and didn't leave other traces such as there advance technology.

Another unknown are the large statues on Easter Island. Where did they come from, and who put them there? There are many other unexplainable things in this world that may point to the fact extraterrestrial aliens are real.

I wonder if there have been cases of aliens contacting people through the internet. It would probably be hard to tell if they were real or not...

It would be pretty difficult to tell if contact from aliens on the internet were authentic or not. I go more for the seeing-is-believing.

Ever hear about what was called "the men in black"? Unsolved Mysteries once had on a documentary on aliens which was very interesting, where a couple of people told of their encounter with these men. Naturally not every man dressed in black is an alien, but what an experience it would be to think you might have seen one of these "men in black".

Yeah, that's true.

Oh, really? I've seen the Men in Black movies, but I didn't know that there were sightings of men in black... What kinds of encounters did people have?

 

[Jasmine333]

About the encounters people had with the men in black, one guy that lived in Austin, Texas said throughout his life he had experiences with ufo sightings and had become a celebrity of sorts in that he had videos about ufos and aliens in his apartment, and at times would meet with groups to have talks about such things. He worked as a mechanic and said one day a group of men in black showed up at his job. They told him he was being audited and needed to go to a place downtown to meet with someone about the matter.

So the guy went downtown and one of the men in black guys was there, but told this man "ok, you can go now". Needless to say the guy was shocked, and there was no auditing going on, so he went home, where he found his ufo/alien tapes had been tossed around the room like someone was looking for something. The man said he didn't know what these men in black were looking for, but they didn't find it.

The other case involved a woman who was in a city downtown where she encountered a "man in black" walking alone, but said he looked like nothing she had seen before and it gave her the chills. She said his skin was pale and looked almost like plastic more than skin.

Makes you wonder who and what are these "men in black".

 

[Jasmine333]

I forgot to mention about the guy in Austin, after the men in black left his mechanic shop the guy walked outside immediately to see where the men went, but they were just . . . . . . . . . . . . gone.

His name is Ray Muniz, and you may find out more by searching Ray Muniz, Men in Black, Unsolved Mysteries.

 

[Yozora]

Woah, that's really creepy! I wonder what they are...

 

[Jasmine333]

I don't know what these men in black are, but they don't sound like something I want to meet up with.

 

[Yozora]

Yeah, that's true...

 

[Jasmine333]

It would be interesting to know what people who lived hundreds of years ago saw in the skies. Surely they saw things and I'm going to do some research to see what I can find.

I doubt they did actually see anything such as a alien spaceship BUT if there was a alien spaceship and it flew overhead then there chances of actually seeing it would higher because there would be less light pollution.

Its surprising how much light can obstruct things from view

Scientifics says that the space are infinite so that means for sure they are some extraterrestrial life somewhere. Last year a new planet was discovered that is similar to our planet it has water air atmosphere, everything that is needed for live I am pretty sure there life on this planet.The planet is called Kepler-452b.

It is a shame that it is 1,400 light years away so we wont be seeing up close anytime soon. We have also scanned for radio transmissions on Kepler but we have had no feedback. It is a shame that we know another planet is habitable with potential life but is too far for us to actually check.

Here, I don't agree. If someone wants to make a case for the existence of an extra-terrestrial (intelligent or not) life form, he needs to give us some tangible proof outside the non-starter argument of 'the Universe being quasi limitless'. Life as we definite it and understand it here on Earth is damn complex and we don't even have a clue (scientifically speaking of course) on how it has started here on this Planet of ours to start speculating on its existence elsewhere in the Universe.

Now that being said... Do I believe we are being visited by Aliens? UFO sightings, Alien abductions, all that sort of crap?
Absolutely not

Here, we agree.

Do I believe Aliens exist? Yes.
Why? Because the universe is just too vast for Humans to be the only intelligent life in the universe.

Absolutely not

While it's not conclusive evidence, I can present something tangible to this argument.

Amino acids (the precursors of proteins, and the basic building blocks of life as we know it at the cellular level) have been found in carbon rich meteorites. These findings have been published by reputable sources such as NASA, National Geographic, and the Discovery channel. Google for more results.

Although not irrefutable proof, I believe this presents a strong case to support the idea that life may exist elsewhere in the universe.

For myself, I neither believe nor disbelieve in aliens. I think that whether or not they exist, my individual beliefs will have little impact on them.

One of the things I like best about forums like this (and the internet in general) is it's one of the few venues where a PhD and a high school dropout can communicate in an open and unbiased fashion.

When you say that life is more complex than a lay-man can imagine I'll agree with you 100%; I'll also add that I believe life is more complex than any man or woman can imagine, regardless of experience or education. That doesn't stop me from wondering though.

I disagree with you on the idea that contemplating life on other planets is a waste of time and money. The number of technological advances that have cropped up in direct response to the search for life are numerous and pervasive in every facet of modern society.

For the record, I don't think life will ever be understood completely. I also believe that our understanding of life will continue to improve for however long we live. I know that's a little paradoxical, but so, in my opinion, is life.

Very true. It doesn't take a PhD in BioSciences to get a certain sense of the complexity of Life (a great deal of that is gained introspectively as human beings

Spot on!.. Science has its limits given the methodology on which it's based. So, we agree.
