UFOs, aleins, people on Mars..... Is it all fake or all fact?

OOC: Just curious and by the way, I know there are no people on Mars, so you can stop posting abouty that part...

i believe in illegal aliens

No, I do not.

I agree with RB, I dont belive in aleins, but I find it hard to belive were the only life in the universe.

I don't know whether aliens exist on other planets, but I think it's a strong possibility.

I definately don't beleive they have visited us.

I have no reason to suspect that the earth is the only planet in the universe to support any form of intelligent life.(though it may be the only planet in the universe to be supporting intelligent life at this time )

However I have no reason to suspect that the earth has been visited by intelligent life from another world

I do believe that people have sited flying objects that they have been unable to identify- hence I do believe in UFOs. However as the objects are unidentifed I have no reason to believe that they are alien vessels, simply that they are unidentifed.

UFOs, aleins, people are Mars..... Is it all fake or all fact?

OOC: Just curious
UFO's: Yes, unidentified objects do exist. Go figure. :-)
Aliens: I believe in the probability of life on other planets. Not human life, or even human-like, but life none-the-less.
People are Mars: Well, as astrology is one of my hobbies, I can certainly agree that people are Mars (meaning that the symbol of Mars characterizes a human trait: aggressiveness). As to people on Mars, I can only say, not at the moment.

Yes - I fully believe in life on other planets

But somewhere out there, something's watching us. There are alien forces acting in ways we can't perceive. Are we alone in the universe? Impossible, when you consider the wonders that exist all around us. Voodoo priests of Haiti, Tibetin numerologists of Appalachia, the unsolved mysteries of... Unsolved Mysteries! The truth is out there!

I had to quote from Mulder ;-)

I believe it is inevitable that life exists on other planets, their level of advancement is unlikely to be past ours, however.

PEOPLE ARE MARS!!!!!!!!!

There is a chap called Michio Kaku who reckons that once an alien civilisation gets itself to the stage where it can make nuclear weapons it probably blows the shit out of itself within a century or two* - wish I could remember the name of his book.

*this is one explanation for why we havent detected signals from an alien civilisation- any civilisation developing radio develops nukes relatively soon after and annhilates itself having not been broadcasting radio signals for very long.

........yeah w/e....

Living in southern Arizona, it would be foolish of me not believe in aliens. They sneak over the border, mess with livestock, and crash theier vehicles all over the place. But members of the government deny it.

Yes but I don't believe that there is life on Mars.

I believe that it is almost a certainty that there is other intelligent life in our universe and galaxy.

I also think it's likely that some of these extraterrestrials have visited us. I have difficulty believing that all of the thousands of people who have seen aliens or their spacecraft are crazy, stupid or liars.

I’m not sure about UFOs but the universe is so large (or so we are lead to think) that I find it impossible to believe that earth is the only planet in it that supports life.

As to life on Mars I believe that there may be very simple organisms not yet with the capacity to develop UFOs (even though humans managed it).

Any 'aliens' that there are going to be so different from anything on earth that I have doubts as to whether they would be recognised/accepted as what they are.

I think the possibilities are endless, but so is man's destrucivity...anything that is found unless superior to us (which hopefully it will be) will be destroyed within a few generations.

I was about to get annoyed about the UFO thing, but you beat me to it.

Everyone, repeat after me:

UFO does not equal alien spaceship.

I don't find it difficult at all to beleive that all the people who claim to have seen aliens and spacecraft are either participating in a hoax, or delusional (though often just temporarily) or just mistaken. Have you ever read The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan? It explains away many of the common "alien" phenomena.

PEOPLE ARE MARS!!!!!!!!!
If people are Mars, and soylent green is people, then ...what is the colour of tea in China?

I'm almost completely sure that there is intelligent life on Earth.

I believe that there may be small, minute organisms on other planets but not the stereotypical aliens that many of us think about.

I don't believe in UFOs though. :p

I believe in extraterrestrial intelligent life, somewere around a star, far away.

I don't believe that any extraterrestrial intelligent life would come all the way from their planet to anal-probe us.

I find it hard to belive were the only life in the universe.
that's exactly my thought. I think it's really unlikely that we're the only planet that can host and will ever host other life forms. the universe could be infinite. who knows. saying that there are no aliens I think will one day be teh modern age's "the earth is square".

Of course, I doubt that they're green things with corcular air ships and stuff like that.

I do. But I believe in Ghost and many other things as well like this. I am into all of this sort of thing.

If there are aliens, where are they?

If there are aliens, where are they?
1)alien life may not be advanced enough to be able to use technology
2)alien life may not be technologically advanced enough to be detectable by us at our present level of technology
3)alien life may be technologically advanced enough to be aware that there is "intelligent" life on earth but may view us as not worth contacting.
(after all a civilisation advanced enough to travel here is advanced enough to need nothing that humanity has to offer; we may go and see monkeys in the zoo but we dont trade with them, socialise with them , since we view them as our inferiors.

more lufdicrous egotism

4) we may not be technilogically advanced enough to detect them

I believe in aliens, why not?

more lufdicrous egotism

4) we may not be technilogically advanced enough to detect them
indeed, but I covered that possibilty in 3) So I fail to see how it qualifies as egotism.

ok, for all of those who said UFOs don't exist, then your saying the 10,000 people who have reported them over history (as far back as the 1400's) were all just on LSD or crazy instead? Run a search on UFOs and you'll be suprised some of the stuff you can find.

Ive seen one, well three, Im sure some of you read that thread of mine about a week ago.

There is a chap called Michio Kaku who reckons that once an alien civilisation gets itself to the stage where it can make nuclear weapons it probably blows the shit out of itself within a century or two* [...] *this is one explanation for why we havent detected signals from an alien civilisation- any civilisation developing radio develops nukes relatively soon after and annhilates itself having not been broadcasting radio signals for very long.Two centuries of radio is a lot of broadcasting, with ever increasing power... We've been sending out radio signals for about a century. Anyone with a sufficiently sensitive receiver within approx 100 lightyears knows we exist. What brings me to my opinions regarding aliens & such:


Do i believe in UFOs?
No, i know there are Unidentified Flying Objects. (I, for one, have seen one; not counting that one time i mistook Venus for an alien spacecraft.)

Do i believe UFOs extra-terrestrial spacecraft?
No. They're probably misunderstood meteorological, astronomical (I'm not the first to mistake Venus for an extra-terrestrial spacecraft. :) ), and/or atmospherical phenomena.

Do i believe there's life elsewhere in the Universe?
Yes, to the point of being nearly convinced. (Maybe not in the Solar system, but certainly in our Galaxy.)

Do i believe there's intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe?
Maybe. (Certainly not in the Solar system, but maybe in our Galaxy.)

Do i believe there's technologically advanced (our level or beyond) intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe?
Maybe, but if there are any, they're scattered far & wide with large distances between them and us (Probably not in our Galaxy, but possibly in other galaxies.)

I don't believe that any extraterrestrial intelligent life would come all the way from their planet to anal-probe us.
Can I quote you?

I am an Alien..

I am an Alien..

We're all sure you are.....*sarcasim*

Do I believe that we are the only life-forms in the entire universe?

No.

Do I believe that any aliens have ever come to Earth, whether we were here or not?

Yes.

i believe in illegal aliens

SOOO funny, you could get a book our of that. Yes I do believe in aliens. It's naive to think that in the entire universe-which we're told is infinite that we could be the only humanoid life forms. There must be a more advanced race wathcing us right now -ooooooooo. Or maybe not.

But if you believe in aliens...do you believe in God and more importantly the bible or what ever your religious guide may be!

No. I'm sure they exist, but I don't believe in them.

Also, your thread title and poll question frighten and confuse me. Do you want to know if I "believe in" aliens, or UFOs? And in either case, why would you ask such a stupid question?

Of course there are aliens, I've seem them, legal and illegal, from south of the border. As for aliens from off the planet, well, who the fuck knows, eh? And I've seen my fair share of UFOs, but I'm pretty sure most of them were planes or helicopters. Just because it's flying and you don't know what it is doesn't mean that it is a craft from another planet. The frequency with which UFOs become IFOs is startling.

You left out the option : "who cares?"

Why worry about extraterrestrial lifeforms when we can't even manage to feed our own homeless people here on earth?

Ivory tower "intellectualism" at its best.

Those who have starved will be spared the alien occupation. Did you ever think of that? Huh? Did you?!

They saw something they couldn't identify. I don't beleive they saw spacecraft from another planet. Not all were crazy. Some hoaxers, some were tricked by hoaxers, some mistook a normal event for alien craft.
For an alien to visit earth he would have to find a way to travel faster than light (impossible) or he would have to commit to a trip lasting several million years.

I do, and don't feel very safe now that Mulder and Scully haven't been around to protect us for the past few years. They should have never let those two get involved personally...it totally put them out of global focus.

Selfish bitch and bastard!

Not seen any proof during my lifetime either way.

I've seen and read about the weird govn't coverup's. If intelligent beings do exist out there and are visiting our planet in peace ..it's just a matter of time before we do something to really piss them off. That is if they are capable of being pissed off.

I don't know whether aliens exist on other planets, but I think it's a strong possibility.

I definately don't beleive they have visited us.

This sums up my viewpoint as well.

Can I quote you?

If no one quotes you, you probably havent said a thing worth saying, so yea :p

Voting not sure on the grounds that both the OP and poll are unclear.

Do I believe in UFOs?

Yes, I believe that people see things "flying" in the sky which they are unable to idenitfy, even if it might be properly identified as, say a weather balloon. That's the proper definition of UFO as I understand it.

Yes, I believe that aliens exist. I am a legal alien, and have the visa and alien registration card to prove it.

Yes, I believe that it is highly probable that other lifeforms exist in the universe.

No, I don't believe in UFOs or aliens a la Fox Mulder.

Will vote yes as I'm assuming you meant extraterrestrial aliens.

Others hae noted my position,

Does life exist elsewhere in the universe. Very high probability yes.

Have any visited earth/our solar system. No idea, unlikely.

I do believe rather seldom. And when it occurs it is always outside of aliens.
