Watch out, them angles is sharp.

They work for me, and are under orders to protect my family which they do superbly. HS

Angles protect people? What do you do, back into the corner or??

I can work with a cute one, but some are too obtuse to be much good for defense.

I think that's right.

I do believe that it is likely there is other life in the universe. However, if you try and understand the scale of the universe, you realize it is an understatement to say there is lots of space in space.

I have a problem believing that aliens are smart enough to find us, which is like finding a specific grain of sand on a beach. Smart enough to figure out how to cross the vast distances involved to get here, which is impossible by any technology we know. Yet, when they get here, where do they land, UN? nope. MIT? nope. NASA? nope. Whitehouse? nope. They land in trailer parks. Where apparently, they are NOT smart enough, to find what ever it is they keep looking for in peoples rear ends! :thumbsup:

Once I saw an object very high in the sky, late (2:30 A.M.)on a cloudless summer night. it was brighter by far than any light I ever saw and it was moving very fast.from north to south tt travelled in an arc to the east of me,. after perhaps a few seconds it disappeared in a soundless flash of brilliance, leaving nothing visible. I researched it thoroughly. It was merely a very large meteor that had hit the atmosphere, become incandescent, and then burned up to nothingness before hitting the ground. it was a "shooting star". I reported it to the astronomical observatory of a university in Halifax. They also had film of it. It was an object about as large as a pickup truck, before it hit the atmosphere, they said. Had it been five times as large it may have survived the fall and struck in the atlantic ocean around burmuda. They said that it was travelling at nearly 50,000 mph at entry. A sighting that large is rare, they said. It was being tracked in space before it arrived.

On another occasion, the Ontario Provincial Police called me at the army headquarters at OAKVILLE ONT when I was the duty officer there. A farmer had seen an object strike the water near the shoreline of Lake Huron. The farmer marked the spot nearby an he called the police (OPP) who called HDHQ in Ottawa. They asked him to call my HQ and said that I would arrange recovery of the object. My first request was to suggest that it might be radioactive and they should check for that. It was not. After we recovered it from the lake and examined it cursorily, it was obviously some part of a rocket that had re-entered, burned up (melted). All that was left of it was melted aluminum and a bit copper wire. We shipped it to the defence research laboratory in Shirley's Bay, Ontario for their analysis. It was not of extra terrestrial origin. It was a part of a Russian spacecraft that had fallen from orbit I kept a small piece of it for a paperweight.. I still have it somewhere.

No I have never seen a UFO. No official of the Army has either ( I checked the National HQ Files) I doubt that anyone has ever seen any thing like an Extra-terrestrial spacecraft from another planet, but it is clear the a lot of people have seen phenomena that would make them think that they had seen a UFO. They are not nutjobs either. Unexplainable things do happen..but space travel between inhabited plants from outside the solar system involves such vast distances that seem impossible to cross (for living beings). Distances so vast that even light takes millions of years to travel so far. I feel comfortable with accepting that physics prove such travel is impossible for any life form, possibly excepting micro-organisms.

Therefore there are no creatures from outer space visiting the earth in spacecraft.. Period. (Except in Hollywood, or in fanciful imagination.).

There are about as many reports of creatures from inner space--the hollow Earth people.

Hollow Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hollow Earth hypothesis proposes that the planet Earth either is entirely hollow or otherwise contains a substantial interior space. The scientific community has dismissed the notion since at least the late 18th century. The concept of a hollow Earth recurs many times in folklore and as the premise for subterranean fiction, a subgenre of adventure fiction. It is also featured in some present-day pseudoscientific and conspiracy theories.

How far is the closest star? | The Sun's Nearest Neighbor

The nearest star, part of a three star system, is 4.37 light-years away, not millions. But, I grant that with our current technology it makes no difference in our ability to reach that star.

I agree. I believe our success to space travel is overcoming time. Once we can do that we will travel as in the Star Trek shows.

I think it's money. HS

Good point. Throw enough money at the problem and we'll figure out a way to overcome time. Good point HS.

IMO...there is a better chance that life beyond the Earth will be realized before there is any actual (real) proof that "bigfoot" (etc.) exists...!

The thing that puzzles me is .. If they do exist, why would they fly all this way, then not even make themselves known? Why would they hide their existence? The only sensible answer I can think of is that there are so many advanced / inhabited planets out there that we aren't even worth paying much attention to. Just like we don't stop and poke every anthill we drive past.

Any creatures that could reach us would have to be vastly more advanced and very different. If they can reach our planet then they can probably reach all of them.

you might have something there.

Or there are none. HS

We don't know that for sure,do we.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

yep, I've definitely seen things flying that I can't identify.

 

[MossRoad]

See, that's the thing. Lack of proof that life not from this planet exists does not prove it doesn't exist.

Why don't they show them selves?... man you sure have never watched Star Trek? Don't know about the "Prime Directive".?
Any advanced civilization that comes in contact with a primitive civilization (that's us by the way ) always inadvertently destroys the primitive civilization's way of life... Just wipes it out by introducing technology and knowledge. Oh? you say this is just TV fantasy? Well look around to what more advanced cultures have done to less advanced cultures here on earth over the centuries.. Yep it is true. Even now the current thinking is not to civilize the remaining "savages" in our world, but leave them alone to develop in their own time. Whether this is correct thinking is open for interpretation, but the concept of the clash of civilizations is true for sure though.
