The universe is so unfathomably large, surely there is / has been life on other planets, maybe intelligent.
Ever seen the picture "pale blue dot" from one of the voyager spacecrafts? A picture of earth taken from 6 billion kilometres away, nothing more than a minuscule blue spec in the sky. And 6 billion KM is pretty much nothing in the scale of the universe, or even in our own galaxy. So saying that extraterrestrial intelligent life visited earth ![]() ![]() ![]() |

UFO means the Flying Object is yet Identified, it doesn't mean its from outer space. That's one of the possibilities, but not the only possibility. :)

I just remembered something that happened to me that might be applicable to this subject. When I was a young Navy Fighter pilot, (which was a LONG time ago) I was flying a training mission out of Nellis in a Nevada bombing range. It was near Groom Lake (sound familiar?). I was at Angels 30, (30,000 ft) and my APG 65 Radar (which is an antique compared to today’s aircraft) reported intermittent contact about 10,000 feet above me. No IFF. It would pop up, I got a warning, then disappear, then pop up again. I spoke with ATC and this is kind of how the conversation went.
Me: “Desert Center, Charger 204, I’ve got Gadget (radar contact) with a Bogey 12:00, 20 miles.” Air Traffic Control: “No you don't” Me: “Uh... Afirm, Gadget-“ Air Traffic Control: “Charger 204 you have negative Gadget, turn heading 150 descend and maintain.....” Me: (Thinking) “Aha!!!!” My guess? It was a 117, this was before they were announced to the world. My guess on these UFOs is they are (possibly) classified military aircraft. We may never know. |

There are some interesting things that are being worked on within the aerospace and defense space. My guess is a lot of these events are related to this.

I never fully understand the logic of area 51.....everybody knows its there.....no gates no guards on the road in.....just a small sign warning deadly force etc.....if you were going 50 mph and blinked you could miss the sign. They dont want anybody wondering in but have all this info showing where it is how to get there etc. My point is if its so secret why all movies .....shows.....specials advertising it...but you could be shot if you cross over this "line" in the desert. If they want to keep it secret build a fence and setup guard shacks etc...and dont let anybody 50 miles from it.

265,000 galaxies in this one shot of a very small section of the night sky from Hubble. Your perpective will change as you zoom in from different spots. But all these dots of light are galaxies, not stars. (Deep sky project).
http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/215519 So surely something is out there somewhere, or it's a pretty big waste of space. As to UFO's, they are just that..Unidentified. My guess is the vast majority are military, atmospheric phenomena. But if the evidence ever presented itself, I have an open mind.

Mine is;
There are Aliens, probably millions if not billions of different kinds in our universe. However many there are, the distances are simply too great for any visitation. The day aliens visit us (if they ever, or if they ever could) the whole of planet earth will know whit-in 10 minutes.

we are here because of freak luck or divine intervention, meaning that our planet became set at the perfect distance to the sun, then throw in the oxygen and water,
i believe its all about the sun, too near or too far means no life. Maybe there is another sun somewhere else with a planet set at the perfect distance. i would love to meet a martian or similar. |

The signs are many miles from the "fence line". If you keep going down the road you will encounter the guys with the submachine guns. They are polite, but if you don't leave, they will arrest you.

A bit more.... https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zon...ent-of-defense
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zon...-baja-surfaces These are the trained professionals in the US Navy at the time using the most sophisticated radar and tracking system at the time. Plus, the pilots were seasoned. These people saw things that should not move or act like that |
