UFO's... What do you think?

I fall into a similar category. This can't be the only planet that supports life in the galaxy.

We have a hard enough time finding intelligent life on this planet, why worry about any intelligence elsewhere.

I'd agree with that, but that doesn't change the physics of space travel....

I wasn't debating space travel that would give me an aneurysm

Seems like it's getting dumber each year

"Star Wars" was "Long ago in a galaxy far, far away."

It took this long for the broadcast stories to reach us at the speed of light.

I'm most amazed that they spoke English. It must really be a universal language.

I'm curious if anyone on TractorByNet has any opinions on UFO's. I find the subject fascinating. And not from the wild sensational side... But from a scientific, data based point of view.

Things like the Nazca Lines in Peru and UFO accounts from reputable sources like Air Force pilots, etc really add validity to the claims of UFOs.

So what do you all think? Truth or tall tales?

The closest stars with planets revolving around them are over 10 light years away. The distance is too great to travel. Due to the number of stars and then galaxies there is likely life elsewhere. The life may be intelligent or pond scum. They will never see us and we will never see them.

I'm not gonna post a link, but maybe some of you have seen the SNL alien abduction interviews? If not, look them up on youtube.

I have all confidence that rural folk tastes better. No one ever got teleported from Chicago.

Actually, they have discovered a planet around one of the closest stars to ours, Proxima Centauri, around 4.3 light years away. It's not habitable though.

At least it wasn't 4.3 light years ago....
Who knows what's happened since?

I'm thinking I wish they'd hurry up and get here. I've been waiting for my ride home for a few decades now after crash landing in that guy's garage.
