Well im new to this forum but i was just thinking if there are craft from other planets travelling light years to our planet then how could they travel at such high speeds in space and not hit rocks and debris that is floating in space? If a small rock hit a craft that was going very fast wouldnt that go right through it like a bullet?

Also i just wanted to say that i have a video i made when i was around 16 or 17 (im 29 now) of some sort of craft behind my house going at a slow speed and with spinning lights around it, you can see how slow it is going becasue it is flying really low and you can see it moving past the trees. there was another witness and he amazed he is like 45 years old and you can hear him on the tape. I have to somehow get it from a vhs tape to my computer.

How's it going man? You ask a really good question. Some would speculate that these extra terrestrial craft aren't really flying through space at all. Or, if they are, it's for very short durations. What if they use worm holes in the fabric of space time to travel vast distances insanely fast?

some people think theyre able to manipulate gravity. thats why they move like they do, and can achieve those speeds they want. and maybe that manipulation can result in redidrecting opposing 'material' coming at them. or at least manouvering it around them slightly.
but who knows, maybe a little slip up, and hitting something caused...........the crash at roswell? ET wouldnt be perfect, in my opinion. just like were not.

It's a good question.

Maybe they're just very, very lucky.

copy the vhs to a dvd recorder then dvd to computer, they may have a protective shield, a force field I would say for intro-stellar travel.

they probably have some sort of defense shield for that stuff

Of course they do...havent you seen Star Trek!?

Yes you are absolutely right, but an impact with a craft travelling at a considerable percentage of the speed of light, even if the object colliding was tiny, like a grain of sand or even smaller would be catastrophic. You just need to look at the research into railgun technology, where an object launched and propelled at incredible speeds has a similar impact to that of a cruise missile.

There are so many complications with the prospect of interstellar travel, and this is the main reason I am skeptical. But as some people propose there are other methods, in theory, like warp or dimensional travel etc. I believe this would be the only real way we could be seeing ET life, however, I refuse to really speculate further as their is simply not enough known about such theories, and I don't mean my own knowledge, but universally, it is fringe physics and only just developing into common researchable concepts. Very exciting stuff though!

...I LIKE IT!!!... ...Good ole Sod's Law/ Murphy's Law works for ET's too!!!...lol...anything that can go wrong ...often will!!!...

Hey Gray Area,

It is my opinion if ET exist and travels here it is not by light speed. I believe he "jumps" from point to point. I really believe we don't know what space actually is. I believe it is far more than just a vast empty expanse between stars and planets.

This pretty much just sums it up, IMO. Space is such a vast place, we can barely begin to understand its true nature.
