Do you believe that we are alone in the universe, or do you think that there is potential for the exisitance of life on other planets in our galaxy or the universe as a whole, and if so where does that place humanity in the grand scheme of things?
Let's hear your thoughts..... |

"I don't believe we're alone in the universe. I don't know where it places humanity but I reckon we're not half as important as we think we are  "
This is kind of the same as myself , if even half the stars in our galaxy have planets orbiting them there is a massive chance that some of those could be in a similar orbit to our own planet, these could in theory support life somewhat similar to us.
So far as where that places us, if the races on those planets have managed not only inter planetary flight as we are slowly edging towards but also long range interstellar travel then we are comparatively still cavemen to them. |

That's still say up the evolutionary scale from an amoeba |

"Well our military has seen some unexplained crafts. The Pentagon investigating kind of gives proof to that claim that ufo exist."
The same over here in the UK, there are hundreds of reports form not just military but also civilian pilots and sightings all over the world of UFOs, some of the military footage is facinating when you see military fighter jets just left for dust by objects that don't even look as though they should be capable of atmospheric flight let alone able to easily out manoeuvre combat trained experianced pilots. |

I think, given the sheer size of the place.. It would be a bit uppity of us humans to think we are the only life forms in the universe.
But pretty typical of us humans to presume this also! |

We're both of the view that there's no intelligent life out there. Very remote chance of something like a single celled plant, bacteria or similar but the conditions required on Earth to support complex, intelligent life were incredibly specific and have only existed for a tiny speck of time in the Earth's history. |

Went to this weird place the other light year…the dominant species is sucking the planet dry…killing off most of the other life forms…acting horrid to others of their kind who look different…use a strange thing called money that some hoard whilst others don’t have any…worship gods but can’t agree whose is best and seem to prefer dishonest people with strange hair as their leaders. Nothing to see here…next planet please |

US military UFO report 'does not confirm or rule out alien activity' - 4th June - BBC news - US & Canada.
US Navy pilots said they had seen inexplicable aircraft that flew faster and were more manoeuvrable that anything seen before.
I think it's naive to say we are the only sentient/intelligent ones in the galaxy/universe.
One thing I could never get my head round was why are they constantly banging on about Mars?
I watched a program about propulsion & commercial flight to there. Seems big business....
It also talked about pollution on earth so they might be thinking of getting rid of industries that pollute here & shipping it to other outer planets as a possibility?  |

Humans presume a lot but then against it's been built into our culture since forever.
Consider your average religion. They all put earth and humanity as the center of everything. That is a big mindset to over come for a society.
The reality is, theres a vast universe above us with more stars in it than there are grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. Further more, I think they've found something like 4000 exodus planets orbiting nearby stars in the last decade so taking that I to account then how many planets are there surrounding other suns?
Is there life out there? It would be ridiculous if there was not. Up until the 90s we thought all life needed sunlight to survive then they found deep see vents teeming with life. Then we thought life needs a certain type of environment similar to our own and they found single cell organisims living and thriving in super heated geysers or a mile down in the ice in the Antarctic.
So are we the only place with life?..the maths and science say no. Will we ever find proof in our life time? Possibly some fossils on mars is our best bet.
But will intelligent aliens come knocking on our door? I doubt it. It took billions of years and the extinction of dinosaurs for intelligent life to rise on earth
How intelligent humanity is, is up for debate though lol. |

They have to say they don't know what things are if they're super duper secret and no-one on the outside is supposed to know about them. Or it could be aliens. |

Why on Earth (pardon the pun) would we think that, within infinity, that we are the only things that live up "there" ^^ (pointing upwards, to the sky) we're just one living, animate race! It's infinity.....there are others, probably more with it, less ignorant, beings! I think its lovely, personally! Wonder what they look like! |

Have seen those before, was just watching a trailer for a tmz report on declassification of sightings and there looks like some interesting stuff on there aswell, may have to find the full show online |

Humanity has no real idea how we got here, why the keys to unlocking so much was handed to humans.
Them pyramids didn't build themselves and I don't believe for a second mankind or womankind managed to lift 2 tonne blocks that high without a higher intelligence level than ours today never mind back then
We are now still in my opinion a fairly backward neandotholic civilisation
Do I think we are alone
I think we are in 1 respect
We have absolutely fuck all to offer them 
They pass this planet by like its nothing, some pop information a look from time to time to see what fucked up brainless shite situations we are coming up with next |

There’s no way we are alone in the universe. But have we been visited by aliens? I don’t think we have. I’m of the belief that a lot of sightings are secret military vehicles or other natural phenomenon |

Agree with this. Why would they visit and not land or make any contact?? What do governments gain from hiding the truth of if they are aliens or not?? We have vehicles on mars right now. No point going all that way without taking a close look. |

No way are we alone. The question is at which point in time are we? Where do we sit on the advancement chart?
Are we still infants, or are we the most advanced race/species in the universe? What came before us.
How many species have come and gone (on other planets before us?)
Have they seen potential in us as a species, using the views in sci-fi, and that of nature documentaries "don't get involved" but every now and then throw a little bit of technology and wisdom out way to set us on the correct path. Maybe that species was bored of being alone in the universe and wanted more. Maybe one day we will be that lonely species offering enlightenment to others.
Just remember as soon as we find those ruins on Mars everything will change, and we need to be prepared for when the Reapers come... |

UFOs definitely exist, because any object you see flying that you can't identify is by definition an unidentified flying object.
Alien spaceships, though? Going to need to see some actual evidence. |

And yet it did happen, which means it could have happened again, and again, and again. That's the whole point.
For all we know life on earth could potentially be an experiment of a more advanced species in an attempt to recreate their own existence. The very fact that something so potentially unlikely did happen opens up the possibility that it was not the only time it did happen.
However sci-fi it may seem, there are actual experts that say it can happen. It is a great big universe of unknown and theory that we slowly uncover and find facts about (either way) over time.
This generation, maybe the next may never know if other life, especially intelligent, exists outside of earth but one day there may be an answer. |

I do think that probes from time to time visit as do ours other planets but distances are the main obstacle to life forms travelling.
Anyway I think if I was an alien I would never come near this planet because the first time hung that would happen is one of the super powers would try shooting me down and then proceed to do mean things for you to me

Not a huge veiw on it either way. Open to the possibility, it's plausible. A lot of stuff out there does seem to be science fiction/conspiracy theory. I tend to focus my time and attention on more pressing matters and fields where there is more information to make informed choices about.

I don't give it much thought.
Is there "life"? Maybe. Given the size of the universe, seems plausible.
Is there life both advanced enough and close enough to find us and attempt to communicate? I highly doubt it. |

And of course something that happened once can be the only time it has happened.
If we can find proper evidence of bacteria/ microbes... even in our own solar system then the statistical probabilities become overwhelming of other life forms elsewhere... intelligent life is another leap forward..

Most of me believes that there is life out there, the universe is neverending so to think that we are totally alone is silly.
Another part of me thinks that life is pretty rare, the only reason we exist is because by pure luck our planet is just the right distance from the sun, not too close to burn up and not to far to freeze, we are in the sweet spot which is a one in a gazillion coinkydink.
The last part of me thinks that aliens exist fer sure, if they landed today I wouldn't exactly be shocked... but what if we missed them? What if they've already came and went? So many ancient cultures from thousands of years ago from all over the world have old stories about the "sky people" or "god's from the heavens" coming down and passing down their knowledge.
Earth has been destroyed a good few times now in natural disasters wiping everything out and starting over, we must have a few million years of catching up to do before we get to where aliens are at now |

Given the vastness of the universe, I think that it's highly likely that other intelligent life does or has existed.
However, I also don't think that we will ever encounter any, simply because of the huge distances to even the nearest star systems.
If they do exist, they'd be best to avoid Earth untill we're able to interact with them rather than want to disect them . |

There was a case in Tingley, Leeds where an old polish guy disappeared after going to the shops. Was found days later abandoned on a slab with some kind of liquid covering his body and burn marks. In the autopsy the liquid was described as not being anything they'd come across before. This happened in the eighties. I think it is more than likely there is something out there. Every star we see in the night sky represents a solar system that could potentially have intelligent life. So go figure. |

Well i think that yes there is a possibility of other life, look at boris johnson?!
If they aliens do observe then surely the question of why we allow such inscrupulous goings on in societies across the globe to continue and just how fathomless the stupidity of a population to believe an indivuduals idiotic and obvious lies to continue, year after year. If we cannot prevent fuckwits like trump putin johnson etc etc to kill and subverse then we are of absolutley no danger to our visitors for an awfully long long time.
Surely they are aware of radio broadcasts??
I guess that if our planet was so rare, as previous scientific communities thought, then surely these visitors would be more "involved"
Maybe delving into religion here but "what if" the intention of our ancient various religions was to not only guide us all to be a better person to one another , etc etc, but the reason was....
In the grand scheme of things yes we are not alone, but also we do not really matter as a singular planet in a sea of stars, we can only help ourselves!
hmmm?? |

Given the amount if life and the diversity on our own planet, the possibilities of life elsewhere are endless.
If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space. |

Apparently one of the first things Bill Clinton did when he became the President was to ask his newly appointed Attorney General Webster Hubbell to find out if UFOs were real?
Webster Hubbell reported back to Clinton after being stonewalled by the relevant agency's , saying there was a secret government that held all the secrets and even the President could access.

It's an oft quoted "fact" that there are more stars in the known universe than grains of sand on the earth. Exo planets are being discovered regularly.. Just can't get my head round that we are the only ones here... Of course its more complicated than that.. The goldilocks zone... Age of the universe versus how long a civilisation can last.. I'd quote drakes equation, but last time I did a man with adenoids shot me down. But its a starting point.. |

It's hard to no which way things are. When people ask about aliens and ufos we assume they are from other planets which if they was they would not look so humanoid because of there sun and atmosphere. Now if there from are time line and are future they would have evolved but still look humanoid. |

Modern humans are planning on colonising mars,but what if the earth was once colonised by advanced humans a long time ago and all knowledge of that event has been lost or hidden. What if the ufo's are drones that are remotely controlled by the same ancient civilization from a distant planet just like modern humans can control remote satellites and spacecrafts from earth |

Most likely there is other strange life in the universe. Many advanced races May week be long extinct.
Space travel is not easy and possibly no one has been successful.
UFOs? Military trials and natural phenomena. |

The fact that the U.S government admitted to a few incidents of interest means nothing, governments only tell you what they want you to believe.
The CIA in the 50's started the same rumours regarding Area 51, this was of course so if the public saw strange aircraft they'd immediately identify them as flying saucers and not the spy planes that were being flown out of there (SR 71 Blackbird)
That said you'd have to be pretty arrogant or small minded to think that our planet is the only one in the entire universe that supports life, its way to infinitely huge... |

Given the age and vastness of space, I find it statistically impossible for us be the only ones ever or currently. However, it those same factors that probably mean we’re highly unlikely to meet an alien race.
There’s a chance many civilisations have come and gone without getting anywhere near interstellar travel. Those that have may be resident in other galaxies, where even ‘close’ ones are so distant it would take something incredible even by the concept of FTL to overcome. |

Anyone seriously interested in SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence should familiarise themselves with the Drake Equation.
Their is intelligent life 'out there' but the distances are so vast, that contact shall never take place.
Most people who believe in aliens, UFOs, etc, from my experience fall into the category of schizotypalism, a category of mental illness on the schizophrenia spectrum that pertains to having unusual beliefs, that ate not held by the majority of other members of a culture.
To call them nutters is pejorative, but reasonably accurate! |

No ..they shouldn't familiarise themselves with Drake's equation.
( Not according to The SETI Institute)
The Drake equation has uncertain parameters the Drake equation makes a significant number of assumptions until those assumptions are verified we cannot trust the calculated results.
The Drakes equation clouds our perspective through on intrinsically warped formulation.
.
Variants on the Drake equation put estimates on guesswork parameters.
Some papers propose a galaxy teeming with life, other papers using the Drake equation variant say we are completely alone.
The above written by
Paul.M.Sutter.PhD.
Astrophysicist Ohio state university and the chief scientist at COSI science centre...
Even the Seti Institute issued a paper in 2019 titled "The Drake Equation- could it be wrong".
There are numerous articles
( via Google)
saying why Drake's Equation
( Written by Frank Drake,in a hurry to make a conversation piece for a conference in 1961)cannot be trusted. |

No we're not alone in the universe, we've got each other (I've even got a dog). There is no life on any other planet anywhere in the known and unknown universe and the notion to believe that there is, is ridiculous. Humanity is all we have and the sooner that we realize the fact the better. |

"We are not alone......
Speak for yourself. I live in Devon.
I thought Devon was full of Londoners, like Suffolk?"
Nah that’s Cornwall, where they eat their young. Londoners stopped visiting the village 2 years ago, I bummed them out of town. |

"The fact that the U.S government admitted to a few incidents of interest means nothing, governments only tell you what they want you to believe.
The CIA in the 50's started the same rumours regarding Area 51, this was of course so if the public saw strange aircraft they'd immediately identify them as flying saucers and not the spy planes that were being flown out of there (SR 71 Blackbird)
That said you'd have to be pretty arrogant or small minded to think that our planet is the only one in the entire universe that supports life, its way to infinitely huge...
No you wouldn't.
Why is someone with an opposing scientific view arrogant or small minded ."
It wasn't an insult so I hope you didn't take it as one lol.
Arrogant in thinking we are the only ones, small minded in not opening the mind to the infinite probability.
The furthest galaxy to have been pictured is over 13 billion light years away, the photons we see were emmited a relatively short time after the big bang. To think we are the only planet with life I think would be very small minded.
We dive the deepest parts of our ocean and find life existing where we previously thought impossible, thriving communities around volcanic vents miles bellow ranging from micro biotic to the fish and plants that feed of them, Intelligent life? Well no but then again we too started as single celled organs.
I met my great grandad before he died, he sold newspapers reporting jack the ripper murders as a boy, think of the things he thought once impossible but went on to witness... he lived long enough to see the 1st space shuttle launch.
