Space aliens here.

1) Alien roadkill? 2) Which particular bit of the unexplained are you referring to?

1) Simply an example of the difficulty of identification with only a fleeting glance.

2) Things like the Ancient Aliens TV show/books and similar "alien" UFO sighting "facts" that consist of using that logic.

I was referring to science and not pop science tv shows.

 

[Jango]

Because they haven't been proven to exsist.

I think the G-forces of "folding space" would kill off any life form.

So that means they don't exist, anywhere? Look at our species' scientists. They're inventing new, once believed to be impossible, technologies and advancements all the time. Do some searches on The Google about things scientists are creating if you do not believe me.

 

[Jango]

No, but immense energies would be involved in making a wormhole. I doubt if an alien race capable of that would bother to come here and play hide and seek with rednecks on isolated roads at night. Or pile stones up. Or scratch lines on a desert.

Why? Don't we do crazy **** all of the time? Like, when new things are discovered, don't our scientists examine and do tests on it? In case you're wondering, the answer is yes.

The same way that you would identify roadkill, mangled beyond easy recognition, on a roadway; seeing something from afar (or from a speeding vehicle) is not likely to provide the opportunity for accurate identification.

Whether you attribute the unexplained to a god or to "space aliens" then the rationale is usually quite similar; if you cannot refute the claim then it remains a valid theory.

True!

I wasn't wondering. Believe in aliens if you want to, I'm not bothered. Cheers.

If aliens ever DID come here, their intentions would be hostile. And we would stand no more chance against them than a mound of pissants against a depraved teen.

More likely scenarios to prepare for:

Economic collaspe
Large scale riots---if close to Furgeuson or other urban hellhole
Ebola or superflu
EMP
Nuclear War
SuperVolcano
Bigfoot attack
Zombie Apocolypse

and

Alien attack

What makes you think that" Are we about to attack the ants just because hey6 exist? Logic tells me that if they were going to do that. we would already be gone. I feal that they are protecting us, not attempting to destroy uw.

?????????????????

That means no comment to you

You couldn't type "no comment"? Why?

What is this hey6 that exists? Inquiring minds wish to know. Not to mention feal and uw.

An argument from ignorance isnt a valid claim.

Carl Sagan speaks sooth.

That is true but to know, recognize and understand everything is impossible so there will always be cases when one encounters the unknown. The use of faith is not a bad way to limit the scope of your immediate concern. Some have faith that we are alone and special, having been created by god, while others have faith that there are (superior?) beings that are not human (or god) that visit among us.

I choose to simply ignore the unknown which does not seem to directly affect me. My outlook is something like mind over matter - If I don't mind then it doesn't matter.

If it's unknown then how do you know it is there?

hrt124zfql99% - OK you know that my reply is there yet you have no clue what (if anything) it means. To have a UFO requires that you both know it is there and yet do not know what it is.

I don't know what your reply is. If I'd known then I wouldn't have asked. I thought that you were referring to a larger unknown.You did say "ignore the unknown that does not directly affect me". UFOs exist, most sightings have mundane explanations. In those cases where an explanation has not yet been found aliens is the least likely cause.

in talking to him you could add a lot more @#&%$**%# and still be accurate.

 

[Jango]

You miss my point. How do you identify the ones manned by aliens?

Perhaps a flying object that, by witnesses' accounts, was a mile to two miles long, which was seen in Phoenix, Arizona circa March 1997.

I like Dr. Sagan, but did he have SCI clearance? And I suspect that he'd be of different opinion if he was as old as he was then in that film in today's world.

A world in which no aliens have appeared?

 

[MMC]

I'm not. How do you distinguish a "real" UFO manned by aliens from a UFO of terrestrial origin?

The one manned by humans wont be able to catch up to the one manned by aliens. Nor will it be able to make the same maneuvers nor be able to force it down to the ground.

So now we have human UFOs chasing Alien UFOs. Right???? HEH HEH

I like science fiction too. Would the ones manned by men be Nazi or Area 51 flying saucers?
