I believe illegal aliens are crossing the border every day. Seriously, I am not a big believer in such things but when you read that the milky way is just one small galaxy and there are billions of them out there.....who knows what is located in distances so far away that distance is measured in years when traveling at the speed of light. Hard to get your brain around something that is so far away to be like 20 years of travel at the speed of light.

20 light years is close... We see things that are so far away... they happened BILLIONS of years ago... wrap your brain around THAT. Jabba |

Ever notice how all UFO photos are either nondescript lights in the sky or so blurry that they could be almost anything? I think it's all a big hoax or collective insanity.

I don't know one way or the other, but it seems to me that it's inconceivable (and possibly arrogant) to believe, that given the vastness of the universe, we're the only ones in it.

This universe and the countless others are so vast... it is hard to believe that there isn't some sort of intelligent life either similar to ours or not.
Have they been here??? Probably not.
Our current technology has been measured in just the last number of centuries as far as progression. Who's to say there isn't life that has far surpassed what we can imagine.
Tell someone just 150 years ago that we would have means to fly and you would have been labeled crazy. a few hundred years ago, you would have been burned at the stake or worse.
again... have they been here??? Probably not. I can't imagine there NOT being some planet, somewhere, having some sort of lifeform that communicates with each other and having some sort of intelligence.

Of course we believe in UFO's otherwise we would think that all flying objects had been identified.  BF, call me arrogant. Big numbers tend to boggle the mind, but the concurrent conditions required to sustain life as we know it need such precision that their chance existence may well overwhelm even the biggest of numbers. One universe, many galaxies, lots of stars. Only one me.  |

There are some pretty convincing theories supporting mulitiple parallell universes. There just might be more than one of you.  Besides.......Calvin believes in Hobbs......and I beleve in Calvin. |
