Before I explain myself, I would first like you all to take a second and think about how mind blowingly large our galaxy is. It is difficult for some people to comprehend the sheer size of our galaxy. Our galaxy is filled with billion stars which includes our own sun. Some of these stars have planets orbiting them. We know this because we have telescopes that can peer into space and see these planets. Only Jupiter size planets can currently be found because of their massive size. The bright light emitted from a star is what is stopping us from locating earth-size planets that might suitable for human living conditions. It is only a matter of time before we locate an earth-size planet, but finding one with habitable condintions will take more time. Between the years 2010-2012, NASA will be launching a satelite for the primary purpose of locating earth-size planets. One of these planets may harbor life, life that may be very primitive, or very advanced. What ever life we may find is a threat to our very existence, but hold on, I will get to that in thought in a moment. Hopefully I helped you understand the vast size of our galaxy and all that lay within. I also would like to add that billions of other galaxies exist beyond our own. It is what we have come to know as the universe. So do the math and think about all the possibilities. Moving on. What I have came here to explain is that what we call earth, and all its inhabitants, are under constant threat of an extraterrestrial invasion. We go about our daily lives thinking nothing of it, but at any moment, stuff can fall from the sky and start blowing sh** up. Just like the 9/11 attack, we could be suprised attacked, and get invaded from the stars. In an instant earth and it's feeble military defenses can be crushed in one swift blow by superiorly advanced and equiped extraterrestrials. We have seen many examples of this in hollywood films such as War of the Worlds, Independence Day, and other movies depicting an alien invasion. Just because nothing has happened in the past 3 billion years does not mean that it can not happen tommorrow. And for all we know an invasion could have already began but just in very quiet way. The point is we don't know! Im not trying to scare you all but only enlighten you all to a very possible scenario. We all like to think that the extraterrestrials we come into contact with would be peace going beings like E.T., but that is not the case. Extraterrestrials can be passive or aggressive by nature, it all depends on the situation. To get a better understanding of a some what advance extraterrestrial being we should first examine ourselves, because after all we can be considered one as well. Humans are intelligent, but savage. Our past and behavior shows those qualities. We wage war against our brother for his land. We enslave one another to perform laborous tasks. We make entire species go extinct because of our own needs. We gather and sytematically murder cattle and other animals for consumption. So what makes you think that we wouldn't do the same to another planet and its inhabitants, and what's stopping them from doing it to us? We must go beyond the boundaries of our planet when we think of Natural Selection, it is survival of the fittest on a universal level, and it's either them or us. So listen here people, an extraterrestrial invasion is very real.

we should wait to find out first, before thinking of invasion.

Actually thats not true. We dont see these planets at all, we simply see their effect on the suns they're orbiting.



Really? Because one of the things those movies have in common is that humans always defeat this aliens... no matter how advanced they are.



Or both of us. We can coexist with another race.

Like you know.

They were finding extra-solar, earth-sized planets in the early 90s.



And I haven't ever been mauled by a unicorn called Dave in a tuxedo, but that doesn't mean I should be scared of it happening tomorrow. A bit of perspective, please.

lol, this thread amuses me

Although they may be more advanced, they are not invinciple. How many have crashed or been shot down? (Russian UFO files). And more than likely, there are numerous races, some will be our enemies and others our friends in intergalactic politics.

One long paragraph, but welcome sir to UM.

Yes, that is true but recently they have imaged an extra-solar plantet. Look it up and you'll see. Of course hollywod is going to put a fairy tale ending to those movies, but don't believe that we always come out victorious in the end. I agree it is possible to coexist with other species. We do it here on this planet, but it might be a bit difficult to coexist with a species equally if not more intelligent than we are.

Well Mr. England, I've haven't heard of the discovery of "extra-solar earth-sized planets" in the early 90's. Im pretty sure they haven't discovered any at all or else we would ALL know about it. Unicorns don't exist, but extraterrestrials do, and they will maul you!

lol

Very true, but our history has taught us that the civilization with the more advance technology usually will win a war. I could think of some wars that were fought and not won because of technological might, but that was because some restrictions were involved.

There are three planets beyond our solar system about the same size as Earth, found more than a decade ago.

www.space.com/scienceastronomy/aas_earthsize_020329.html

Yeah yeah yeah, they're orbiting a dead star, but the point is it is not "only Jupiter size planets can currently be found because of their massive size" as you originally state. Another one of those "we only know what we can see" attitudes.



Well now I know who to come to when they do.

Prive, you should seek phyciatrict help if your this convinced, this sounds like serious paranoia mate.

The invasion started long ago. It's not like the movies.

LOL , I almost spit my coffee on my computer when I read that. Which would bad... cause I'm at work.

I'm sure it did.

indeed, one should not be scared or worried of the such.

if we are gonna get wiped out by Et's
so be it, we had a decent run anyway.

so much fear mongering going on...everywhere i look

One person's invasion is another person's liberation.
For the wealthy that live like gods on this planet it might be horrible and for the majority of people it might be wonderful.
It is all perspective.

As you said the universe is mind-blowingly big.But ask yourself this,why would a race so far away bover travel so far to destroy a race who cannot travel to them.it would be absolutly pointless if we do not get in there way im sure a more advance race would have the sence to save recources and leave them alone.its like me sitting here in england coming over to beat the living hellout of you in america because i simply disagree with you.

well the point is yes we may discover life soon.but them coming and eating our brains isnt "very possible"

everyone always talks abotu how aliens would have all this technology and be far more advanced than us, why? So what if our species hasnt been around for that long, maybe there are other species out there that are less advanced then us ever think of that? And why are aliens always getting ready to invade? what if they are peaceful, and they want to learn about us and live with us, no one ever thinks of this everyone always talks about the worst possible scenario when its just as likely that something good could come of aliens finding us.

agreed they might come in peace, they might be less advanced or they might not even exist.

WOW - I am so glad I have no cups of coffee or water near my computer or keyboard. I would of shorted them out!!!

This is very entertaining. Is someone trying to come up with a new screen play for a sci fi movie?? I can see it not:

Camera pans up from earth out of 'telescope effect lense' and shoots out towards the stars. Stars fly by over a few seconds to come to another insignificant star. The 2nd planet in this system. Only has two. The camera continues to move intoward the unknown planet w/an eye blinking in what looks like an alien version of a telescope.

Alien 1: "Has Zim finally made it to that planet yet??"

Doomed, Doomed, I tell you - we are all doooooomed!

Finding planets is one thing - finding life as is focused on this thread is another. We have yet to find any life outside of Earth's orbit or hasn't come from earth. So going from Exo-solar planet to INVASION - is a pretty big leap of faith -

Jj

Why is there so many English people members of this website? Just curious that's all. I don't dislike you chaps but bloody hell there is a great many of you on here. And i'm not that paranoid but I do keep this thought very close in my mind, just like the .45 underneath my pillow.

Why should one not be worried? Just keep the thought in the back of your mind that's all i'm saying. And why would you want to be wiped out? I don't know about you but i'm not ready to go extinct. I haven't even had a threesome yet! Fear mongering.....LOL!

What could be so wonderful about being liberated by a bunch of extraterrestrials? I can't see how my life might get better by being ruled by E.T..

7 words for you, "I came, I saw, I conqured." You don't have to disagree with some one to take over there land and resources. Our History has shown us we have taken each others lands for a variety of reasons. An E.T.'s reason for intergalactic conquest might vary, we don't know. Plus, a more adavance civilization doesn't always mean they will be a peaceful one. I could think of an historical event where this evident. Remember when the Conquistadors made contact with the Aztec, what happened? Oh, so you don't think they wouldn't eat us huh? We'll I'll be sure to point you out first if they come and do so!

"Chaps"? "Bloody hell"?

Are you sure you're not british?

There is also alot of people form USA on here. Maybe its because the country we live in is mysterious and we want to find out more. We have had a fair few UFO incidents, that have been covered up. I heard somewhere that we actualy have some alien technology .

The person who said that the invasion has already started could be right. Many of the 'classified' sightings that have been leaked say that they are almost identical to Humans and it would be difficult to tell them apart.

Its only 3 in latin

veni vidi vici (Julius Caesar's report of victory in 47 B.C. over Pharnaces, king of Pontus)



Thats, what i thought, a bit ironic!.

Yes I think I might of mentioned that they might be less advance, if I didn't I am doing it now. If they were peaceful and wanted to learn about us in a legit manner mind you (alien abduction) then I think we would of heard from them already. I agree, a peaceful coexsitence would be nice, but we must always keep the thought of a hostile one as well.

This is what the goverments are always thinking, hostile, so as soon as a spacecraft enters the airspace for a while and doesnt dissapear, USA+ Russia will start launching nukes at it. This is of course if they havent already made friends.

No, I'm sure i'm not Inglés. I am as American as can be...can't you hear me shooting off my Samuel Colt .45's from across the pond? I was just mimicing what words I know you Island People use...LOL.

I don't really know too many UFO incidents that took place in the U.K.. I only know of a couple. I think one was near an American base, and another was one when a UFO submerged under water in some small town. What do you think they want with us if they are here? Oh and I know its three words in Latin, it's just that some people wouldn't know what I was talking about so I put in in English. And no I'm not British I was just poking fun at some of your good people's phrases, we all do it in America...LOL!

We'll hopefully they come in peace, but maybe they won't. And I hope our nukes will do some damage!

To be really honest here, if one is going to worry about this kind of stuff, I think there are far more possible "dooms day" scenarios from space other than ET invasion. A couple I can immediately pull up would be, a large asteriod impact and a nearby gamma ray burst, a sure fire way to ruin one's day!

I agree. Apparently though there isnt a near enough supernovae to create a Gamma ray to destroy us, which i am quite pleased about as it would fry all of us. But yes, the Asteriod/comet is a very real event, especially with the one that is passing 'close' in 2013 or whenever it is. I have heard 4 different dates.

Errm that is paranoia mate, sorry. Why worry about it, if you die, its not like you'll care, you'll be dead.

I thought there was more americans on here. Im in beijing china, but from the uk. I bet im the only one in china on this site:) im so proud;)

Yeah, I know that there is more than one or more dooms day scenarios, but it seems that people like to forget that an extraterrestrial invasion is one of them. Extinction from an asteroid is a more likely dooms day, but an E.T. invasion is still a possiblity. We shouldn't ignore it because there are more than one doomsday scenarios.

Ah, the Voice of America.
An attitude like this seems more destined to trigger an invasion than prevent one.

BTW, there are plenty of instances where the more technologically sophisticated party in a conflict lost: the British army was far superior to the American colonial forces and their squirrel guns in the Revoluntionary War. Two hundred years later, the Viet Cong weren't nearly as advanced as the American army.


Jaylemurph

Here they come now.

Yes, the Revolutionary war and Vietnam Conflict were the prime examples I was thinking of. Both wars could have been won by the country with the superior tech. If the America and England weren't seperated by the Atlantic I'm pretty sure England would have crushed the Rebellion. Remember it took awhile for troops to be transported by sea in the 18th century. As far as Vietnam goes, we could have just turn the entire place into a glass parking lot but like I said we have restrictions. In an all out war where there are no restrictions, the civilization with superior tech will reign victorious...it's kind of a proven fact.

LOL.....grab the guns and let's go get some!

A Short History of the Kentucky Long Rifle

By Dallas Bogan
Reprinted with Permission from Dallas Bogan.

The great Kentucky flintlock-hunting rifle was more accurate than any known previous firearm and soon became famous. The history of Tennessee, Kentucky, and certainly the history of the United States, are each very much connected with the history of the Kentucky Long Rifle. This rifle is also known as the Kentucky, the hog rifle, or the long rifle. It was designed to be light, slender and graceful, and was the first truly American firearm. Created in the 1730s in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by skillful immigrant craftsmen from Germany and Switzerland, the Kentucky rifle was the supreme implement created as a state of the art, ultimately for over a century, until the coming of the "cap and ball" percussion rifle in 1840. source

what makes anyone think that et will want to piecfully coexist with us, look at us, we cant piecfully coexist with each other, look at our world it's a disaster, wars, crime, polution, nukes, greed, if i was et i wouldn't even think piecfully coexist with anyone like us, if they come, they'll wipe us out, and have planet with its resorses for themselves, and they don't need gamma rays, or anytthing else like that to kill us, a virus will do just fine. does anyone know for sure et weren't here before?? nobody does. may be all those bible stories about babilon tower, sodom and gamora, the great flood, is their work, what was the reason for all these events,? punish man kind, what for? the same things we do now. may be the only reason we are still alive is cuz we are not advanced enough to fly to them, and they don't want to bother wiping us out cuz we are no threat yet, if we were to visit them that would sure make them do something about it. it a good thing we can't find them, world history shows damn well what happens when superior culture mets inferior, remember inkas, azteks, american indians? that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Wow dude, well said, well said indeed. I think your won of the first people to say something worthy about this thread. Thank the Heavens! I especially like the part when you mention that we can't peacefully coexist with each other. I believe I mentioned that (war for land, enslavement,et..). Also, good point made about not becoming a threat yet. I could see that being a reason some thing major has not happpened yet. I also said something about conquistadors conquering the Aztecs. The answers are right infront of us. If we want to know what possiblities would happen with E.T. just examine our world, history, and behavior towards each other and other species of this planet. All in all well said!

I will say that I'm becaming tired of UFO/Aliens Stuff if nothing happens,all the videos of this stuff are different but the subject is the same (ufo flying and the desfocused image was recorded by a parkinson amateur and bla bla bla),why people dont go beyond of simply looking? as the governments do nothing to finish this enigma.
And I will say that this mystery are far of be solved because if the world came to an answer of this with proofs the mystery or the myth will finish.

Any technologically advanced civilization capable of interstellar and or intergalactic travel logically will be peaceful.

You look at alien life from a very primative and human perspective now i will tell you why humanity in it's current state is a poor model when comparing highly advanced civilizations....

First of all we haven't even acheived a global society yet humanity is still going through advanced tribal warfare and so on and not very peaceful. Humans have not yet reached the point where we can co-exist with one another peacefully. In the future nations will no longer exist and eventually humans will be able to resolve differences and problems without tribal warfare.

Logic dictates that an alien species far enough ahead of us to be an interstellar or galactic civilization will have no interest in Earth because we are simply way to primative to be bothered with. I mean do you try to communicate with a colony of ants? Of course not they would not be able to comprehend what you are saying or offering them. The same thing applies to humans and aliens it is highly unlikely that we could even comprehend what they are or what they are about etc. I would also say that if a highly advanced alien species did want to destroy humanity they could likely do so with weapons that we can't even dream of. Destroying humanity for such an advanced civilization would be no harder for them then it is for us to step on a bug.

There is absolutly nothing to suggest that even if aliens were aware or even visited Earth that they seek to destroy us.

Many have suggested aliens could use humans for slave labour however a civilization that advanced like uses machines to do all work that requires labour. Many have suggested for our resources but at the same time the universe is abundantly rich with everything found on Earth. As for eating us i highly doubt it as they have probably evolved past the need to physically eat food. Aliens simply have no need to commit genocide nor do they have a need for humanity or our resources etc.

Also advanced civilizations like our own and those ahead of us are RARE and even finding a planet with such life would be like finding a specific grain of sand on the beach.

We have an example of that in our planet and in our History,in the Discoveries many tribes and populations were killed because they couldn't defended from invaders with an advanced army,they tried to resist until extintion,we have the case of Maias,Aztecas and some tribes from Brasil (Amazónia).

lets add some more words shall we i came after years of travelling at great speeds i saw from such an astronomical distance away that the actions of the people i saw couldnt possibly even start to alter my life in any way shape or form, and i conqured wasting valuble recource time and effort although im a superior race.
you have to put these things into perspective,although it most definatly is POSSIBLE that we will be invaded by E.T's. It isnt "VERY POSSIBLE" as the title of this thread would suggest.
Think of a colony of ants in china would you travel that far just toconquor?
