Who knows .... this is a pretty big Universe we live in ... big like Infinite... so ... may be there are a few UFO's out there ...

I have never seen one though.:shrug:

That is what the armchair scientists don't take into consideration. We could be a relatively new intelligent species and others in the galaxy could be millions upon millions of years more advanced than us. Just look at how far our technology has come since World War I! Just look at how far we have come in the last 30 years. Another hundred years we have no idea what we will see. A million? Ten million years? Get out of town with what we don't know.

but nothing we have done so far has violated the known laws of physics.....
 
I voted yes for 2 reasons.
1. UFO as in unidentified flying object. Yup they exist. anything flying that is unidentified is by definition a ufo, just not necessarily extra terrestrial in origin
2. Considering the vastness of the I cannot imagine how there cannot be other life forms out there.

having said that do I believe space aliens have visited earth? No.

I don't know if I do anymore. At one time I thought it was a pretty plausable idea. I read Whitley Strieber's Communion and what struck me soundly about the book was that his writing went into areas of conciousness and questions that had the effect of seeing a new color: one not derived from anything we've seen before. How would a person react to that? Would he just freeze? Whould he throw up? Faint? The book is very powerful that way. I believe very much in the altered concisousness that UFOs and such questions ignite.

I read this book what seems like eons ago. Maybe it was a valid account of his encounters with ETs but I completed it unimpressed.

My wife believes UFOs exist. She's from Roswell, NM. I, however, believe in Bigfoot. :bag:

The poll is skewed because there's no "maybe" option.

There may be life somewhere out in the supposedly unlimited existence of space.

To put it simply:

Frankly, the OP is a black-or-white kinda guy. No room for possibilities.;)

So you are insisting that people make a decision on something that may or may not exist? Why does it matter to you one way or the other? Do you also insist that people you don't know make a decision regarding religion, which is a highly personal subject, of which no proof can be provided either way?

I think most people have and opinion one way or the other, if you don't then don't vote in the poll..........

Why should anyone make a decision on an issue for which there is little or no evidence for or against? "Maybe" seems to be the most prudent answer, no?

yes.
i believe their are flying objects i cant identify.
and some of them are being flown by aliens.
 
Yes, and as much as a fundamentalist believes in their God.
 
I'd only echo some of the above posts.

I believe they're unidentified. I don't believe they're little green men from Mars.

With the closest stars with planets about 10 light years away, it's a really long trip to our earth.

Undoubtedly the Universe is teeming with sentient life. There are trillions of planets and the odds are pretty good that thousands or millions of them have sentient life as we define it.

The concept that our fellow sentients have a) developed FTL travel b) have made the investment in resources to build a FTL starship and c) just like to hang out in midwest towns without bothering to stop and say howdy is pretty much ridiculous.

UFO means Unidentified Flying Object so a paper plate from Burger King caught in the wind is also a UFO until you see the logo.

This may explain why the OP is halved in opinion whether they believe it or not. Perhaps some thought that UFO meant the Burger King kind of UFO's and voted yes to this level.

Perhaps the question should have been: Do you believe in alien UFO's?
 
I used to but then I read up on Enrico Fermi's famous quotes about it and decided that they were fake. Prior to UFOs people believed in fairy abductions and prior to that were gods, so this form of mass delusion has been around since history began.
 
I do believe in unidentified flying objects. Sometimes we see stuff in the sky that we suck at identifying.
 
I used to think UFOs and extraterrestial life was a fairy tale. Until I read Jim Marrs book "Rule by Secrecy" This book really got me to thinking. And I am usually a very cynical person. It also talks about who he thinks are the REAL rulers of this earth and who controls our money and political systems. If you haven't read this book, ask for it at your local library.

It is a fairy tale.
 
The reason, I don't believe in Aliens is not that they couldn't possibly exist, but the sheer distance from the nearest star system with planets. It would take many, many, many generations of a species, even ones with an extended lifespan to reach us. Unless they developed a method of space travel that involved instantaneous dimensional warping. Then they'd probably be so far in advance to us that we'd be incompatible to communicate with.
