I wonder if the Aliens have left this planet due to the lack of 64 oz. drinks in N.Y now ?

[Blueogre2]

Aliens? There is no way to know for certain, they could look like anything and everything, they may not even be organic but have robotic bodies due to their advanced tech. Personally I feel like they would be horrible looking by human standards whatever they look like

Probably Like Nothing We'll Ever Be Able To Even Imagine ..

Similar to this.



Not the same as the so-called "Grays".

There are photographs similar to those somewhere--black and white photographs--but also drawings and diagrams.  They were small humanoids.

To even think that an extraterrestrial species would be humanoid is to enormously underestimate nature's potential for creating body layouts. Even looking at earth will show that a bipedal configuration isn't even close to the most common or most efficient form. By sheer numbers, the primary species on earth all have six legs and an exoskeleton. Our body form is relatively well adapted to the conditions on our planet, but who's to say an alien planet is going to have comparable conditions to earth? There are so many different possibilities for life-supporting planets, the different biological forms we could see are practically infinite. Just some of the conditions influencing what a creature looks like are:

• Gravity (low gravity would mean taller and thinner)
  
• temperature (something adapted for a planet in a perpetual ice age will look significantly different from one adapted for a desert)
  
• food supplies
  
• surface conditions (water world, tundra, arid, or none at all)

I never meant to imply that all ETs were humanoid, and I would be surprised if there wasn't a great deal of variety out there.  Dr. Robert Sarbacher said the ones were came across were more like clones and androids, specially designed for certain tasks in space and so on.

I only saw pictures of ones that looked like three of the small humanoids, and that's all I know.

There are even people who say that their craft are organic, biological and intelligent, or something along those lines, but I don't know that for certain, only what I saw.

I always thought that aliens would probably look fuzzy & out of phocus.

Too funny ! CC like all the videos we have right ! Cant wait until we get a real one !

[Mikami]

I hope they all look like elves..

[Pinguin]

This is very interesting. I would have never thought of giant jellyfish floating around through the skies of some planet. I wonder how big they would be, since there would a plenty of "food" around them.

I think MacGuffin has the closest possibility according to what we know about evolution if the life is supposed to be intelligent. If any life then microbes are the most hardy and probably are the most abundant. Water Bears have survived open space itself.

I highly recommend this movie to fire up your imagination about the possibilities of lifeforms elsewhere in our Universe.
It's a very creative mix of science and science fiction.

Got it

If I may further your recommendation, From Wikipedia:

Quote

The show uses computer-generated imagery, which is interspersed with interviews from such notables as Stephen Hawking, George Lucas, Michio Kaku and Jack Horner. The show was filmed in Iceland and Mono Lake in California.

Meaning the long and technical explanations are brought down to a very understandable level with great graphics to boot. And I thought the graphics were quite clever.

But it mostly is a variation of life on earth. Quadrupeds, bipeds and flying creatures with wings. Some very massive creatures, as we did have in our past, and the intelligent life from is basically anthropomorphic, they have just replaced the legs with a gas bag, which restricts leverage.


But all in all, a great watch. I also recommend it.
