UFO sighting in Texas!

[Bassmaster]

I know I am late on posting about this topic!!! I am very curious to hear responses from this question and hoping to get serious ones!!! Do you believe that these sightings are real and that there is life on other planets ??? If you did not hear the story, there were several people who saw a huge spacecraft in a small town in Texas. Reports were stated that the thing was about a mile long and a half wile wide!!!!! Some people stated that they saw military ships chasing it!!! I am prepared for the funny replies, but like I said, I am curious to see if people believe in this stuff or think it is fake! Me personally, I believe there is life on other planets!|spaceship

I heard about it aswell, apparently Elvis presley was piloting the space craft targeting zombies with chainsaws on little mechanical arms.

Don't worry though, Jesus has been reborn in the US so he'll save the world and then they'll make millions with the movie and sequels.

I never believe any of that crap. Must be bad water or something.

The Air force claims they were flying 10 f-16s in that area that night. Not that I believe them either but it is more reasonable to think something flew into the US airspace without missiles being shot at it.

Is there, or has there been, intelligent life on other planets?
Given the number of galaxies and planets in the universe that possibility is very likely.

Have any of these beings ever visted Earth?
Considering the vast distances involved that is highly unlikely.

If any intelligent life form is monitoring our presidential US debates, they would come to the conclusion: while there is life here on earth it is very well not intelligent enough to contact.

that's a sad reality m8

The Universe has been around for about 13.7 Billion years. Earth has been around for about 1/3 of that time. That leaves an a huge amount of planets out there that could have formed and evolved for billions of years longer then we have.

Considering that humans have gone from basically monkeys to space flight in about 200,000 years I think there has to be a lot of other species out there that can travel to us.

However, I think that any species that is so advanced that they can travel around the galaxy is also advanced enough to not get caught spying on humans.

I'm sure there is life far more intelligent then us out there.
They probably have visited us.
I think they're smart enough to not get caught.

Only if they've figured out how to travel faster than the speed of light. Unless the leading scientific minds are all 100% wrong, that's not possible.

1. Our leading minds have only evolved for 200k years.
2. We've been considering the issue for less then 100 years.
3. Why does space travel require moving at all? Doesn't space bend naturally through gravity and worm holes? If you can manipulate space then you might only have to travel 100 yards to the next galaxy.

Working with quantum physics for another 100 years will probably give us enough answers to understand the theories behind space travel. We've only known about atoms for a few generations and now we have nuclear bombs. Think what might happen with a 100, 1,000 or 1,000,000 more generations thinking about them.

You've been watching too much sci-fi.

Yeah he has, but good SF uses scientific fact as a base for speculation on what is possible. If an alien race is more advanced than us, then what we see as "speculation" may be "yesterday's technology" to them. We talk about Capt Kirk "bending space around wormholes to jump large distances" and they may look on that as a "primitive form of travel".

Agreed 100%. Only arrogant human beings think we are the pinnacle of life in the universe.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. some were funny, as expected! Sir Moby, I like yours the best and I agree! Our space ships travel in outer space and inspect other planets!!! The southpark episode when Cartman got an anal probe was great!!! |spaceship

I worked the radar and IR satellite systems for too many years to believe any of this hype. Yes, we saw blips and as Jim said, if they weren't ours, we shot them down. But there was never a blip in my shift that went unanswered - never.

BTW - I was working the night Chernobyl blew... Took us less than 30 seconds to have a general idea of what had happened - not the extent or the reasons but we knew that the reactor had blown, and we knew it wasn't missiles, rockets, aircraft, or ufo's that caused it. I doubt the locals had any idea that quickly.

I wonder what platform they use too surf for porn? They must be way past web 2.0 by now. Probably have holodecks similar to star trek!
Now how much would affiliates pay for that kind of program???

That assumes that alien species would have a male and female that need to copulate in order to procreate. If they were asexual...

Sell all your assets!!! The Martians are coming.

Did you see the new picture of the human figure on Mars?

This should stop all naysayers.

I have something to confess... I'm actually an alien.

All your base are belong to us.

When I was young I started with comic books and sort of graduated to Sci-Fi and the Ace double novels (a book with two covers and two stories). Eventually I gravitated more to what we used to call "Spec-Fi" for speculative fiction. In those books it was very important that the science part wasn't fiction.

Since then I've spent a lot of my life speculating, and living all kinds of fictions. I blame Arthur C. Clarke for my satellite phone bills. Plus, every time I say 'Arthur' I think of the number 42 and the importance of always bringing my towel.

All that said, I'm not one of those crazies who think we're being visited by aliens from other worlds all the time. You'd have to be some kind of weirdo to think that. Everyone in the know knows the visitors are simply time travelers from our own future. Sheesh.

Years ago I tried to make it "on stage". I was in a semi-pro acting group, did a bit of stand up, and was even on TV once. I never once went on stage without a small towel somewhere on my person (usually hidden). After all, it may be a tough universe out there, but it is even tougher on stage.
