Just because you never seen one don't mean again it is all lies. Why are people so closed off with the thought that we humans earth are the ONLY things in this galaxy?? Yet again you never seen one so it must be B.S? I just don't understand why people are so I don't wanna say arrogant but in that way to think we are the only things here. Just because we can't go into space beyond what we see there is no other life form? Are alot of people that far off that they believe we are the only ones? Not trying to be disrespectful not the kind who will call ppl lier's because I myself have no PROOF that they are. Bearing false witness is bad just remember something can happen to you that you never believed in, and when you tell ppl they can call you lier also. Just food for thought Wouldn't aliens being here totally prove the OP's post false. If we are under "quarantine", then we can assume there are no aliens among us. I think most agree there is probably life out there somewhere. The odds of it being intelligent is much less. The odds of it being so advanced that they could travel the great distances through space to reach Earth are much, much less. The odd of all this happening in the same time that we currently exist are extremely small. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot, "An international group of scientists met in Paris last week to discuss why we have yet to encounter alien life." Really? We have not yet encountered alien life? I agree, Desertrat56, the scientists cannot prove that statement. I think it is possible that many leaders in world governments have met these beings and keeping the masses ignorant of the alien's existence may be a wise and agreed to policy between them. I'm not sure the masses can handle that info - that aliens do exist and are here. Just look at some people in these UFO boards at UM. Bring up good evidence that UFO's exist here and the anger from these posters is quite high. And the better the evidence the higher the anger. Only they can explain why they get angry. It certainly is not logical. 5 hours ago, Desertrat56 said: I can think of a lot of examples, most of them pretending to be humans. Ya got me on this one, DR 5 hours ago, Desertrat56 said: What kind of animal would work to ensure the extermination of their own race as some of the corporations in this world are? Correct me if I am wrong. The President of Monsanto long ago ended up with cancer and dying because he refused to cave in to accusations that the asbestos caused cancer. Just a thought. 5 hours ago, Desertrat56 said: They have to be alien, AND what about the signs of alien microbial life found on Mars? Those scientist in the story from the OP are living in the 60's. I don't know if these scientists' complaint is lack of a "hello" from aliens or their just not ever being here. If it is the latter, all I can say is, there is enough evidence to show that ET has been here that making such a definitive statement that they have not been is totally wrongful. It is also very easy to see steps the governments world over do go out of their way to hide UFO incidents. All you have to so is look at the number of times that the FAA will not release radar images because it is suspected that a UFO is in the imaging. Even under the FOA, they still get away with not disclosing. And there are many pother examples. Have a good one, DesertRat56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW SO? example: 100 planets, 90 are 10 billion years old and have completed the evolutionary cycle and all have intelligent life. The other 10 have life in the early evolutionary stages, no intelligent life. It's 10-1. I'll try this analogy: most autos are entirely built. Some are on the assembly line being built. But the number of completed cars is much more than the partially built ones. The odds of it being so advanced that they could travel the great distances through space to reach Earth are much, much less. The odd of all this happening in the same time that we currently exist are extremely small. Totally disagree. I don't know where you get this notion. For all we know this galaxy is teeming with intelligent life. It could very well be that it is our destiny to be dominant for billions of years along with some neighbors. no way to know but possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a bit of imposing human thought processes onto a theorized alien collective. If such a civilization or group of aliens exist, how can we reasonably deduce they will have the same logic or thought process as humans? More rubbish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the number of completed cars is much more than the partially built ones. 10 billion years is the average life of a sun like star so any planet in the Goldilocks zone would of been wiped out in about 5 billion years when it became a red giant. As for planets evolving technological life I already pointed out the many scientifically backed reasons they probably didn't in numerous other threads. But I'll point out the big one. FIRE is needed for technology to develop. You need just the right atmospheric conditions for that and we haven't discovered the right size planet for that yet except near red dwarfs and they are so battered with flares and radiation in the Goldilocks zones that any life or atmosphere would be nil. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted April 16, 2019 #166 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Piney, long before our Sun goes red giant it will bake the Earth. Since the Sun began fusion it has been slowly heating up. It emits more energy ever year. In about 1 billion years it will put the Earth too close to the Sun the Earth will be cauterized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, fictional shows like Ancient Aliens are swaying gullible people into believing different stories. Like that they came and showed Columbians modern day airplanes. When the fact is that the "airplane" pendant looks just like a flying fish that are abundant off the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I am your link because the link was blocked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Hills_84001 Quote In 1996, a group of scientists claimed to have found evidence for microscopic fossils of Martian bacteria in the meteorite, culminating in then U.S. president Bill Clinton giving a speech about the potential discovery.[2] These claims were controversial from the beginning, and the wider scientific community ultimately rejected the hypothesis once all the unusual features in the meteorite had been explained without requiring life to be present.

It is from the Daily Express Quote Experts say they have found microfilaments created by fossilised Martian microbes on the meteorite, known as ALH-77005, after using advanced imaging techniques. Dr Ildiko Gyollai and his team from the Hungarian Academy of Science (HAS) Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences used optical microscopy and infrared technology to study the textures and features of the thin sample of ALH-77005. The textures and features left behind by organisms are called “biosignatures”. Edited April 16, 2019 by Desertrat56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
