What do you say?
I think they do,
but I don’t think they are green…
Remember “The truth is out there”.
Are you kidding? Where do you think most of these dopers come from?
And if aliens aren’t real, how do you explain trolls?
LOL, that’s a good one.
I rather doubt it. (Actually UFO’s certainly exist. If its flying, and object and not readily identified it is indeed a UFO)
I think there are much better explanations for almost anything that one hears about in connection with UFO’s or aliens.
Among the least likely explanations to my thinking are that some alien culture either accidentally stumbled upon us or just happened to be within a few lightyears necessary to pick up any kind of earth radio signal.
I find it even more odd to think that these advanced cultures have nothing better to do than find some poor slob out in the middle of nowhere, usually with some pretty serious credibility issues besides, and stick various probes up his orifice of choice.
Still it gives FOX broadcasting and the Sci-FI network some fodder for filling a few idle hours and lets Jonathan Frakes pay some bills by hosting these shows between Star Trek movies and conventions.
Even some of the more scientifically literate Sci-Fi authors…I believe Asimov is who I have in mind specifically…said that he thought it very unlikely that we’d ever make “contact”.
I think aliens (that is, living beings not of this Earth) exist somewhere in the universe. I don’t see how that couldn’t be true considering the infinte vastness of space. But I am positive that not a one of them has ever visited out little rock.
It may be ignorant, but I trust Einstein on this one. Speed of light travel just isn’t possible within the realm of physics. And besides, SixString is right. Why would they come all this way just abduct Billy Bob and Lurlene and probe there anuses (or ani, if you will). Wouldn’t they be better severed to abduct Cecil, or someone like that?
I shant believe otherwise until I find myself hovering over a corn field with a dilithium crystal embedded in my rectum.
aliens? i can’t think of anything occuring in nature that there is only one of (at least in a general sense) so there’s probably another planet somewhere with intelligent life.
ufo’s (as in flying saucers)? maybe near the alien planet, but they certainly have not visited us while there were humans on this planet. considering the obstacles to intergalactic travel, both physical and financial, it seems unlikely to the point of impossible that an alien race would fund and develop this technology and come all the way here just to raid our trailer parks and abduct our desert wanderers. (as has been stated, but i already wrote this so i’m posting it anyway).
it looks like it’s agreed that the best evidence that we haven’t been visited is the kind of people who claim we have.
Didn’t Arthur C. Clarke once say, “We are either alone in the universe or we are not alone. I find either reality staggering”? AC was always spot-on.
Slightly off-topic, but I think everybody needs one far-fetched, nut-job, friends-roll-their-eyes-at-you belief. Mine is Bigfoot. I love that guy, and in my heart of hearts I know he’s real.
Hey, you don’t agree? Go get your own mythological creature.

That much I agree with, indeed, I think it would be difficult to argue with.
I suspect that too many ppl simply don’t consider the size of the reality they live in … I am perfectly willing to admit I don’t ( can’t ? ) understand the size of THIS galaxy ! and we can already see many galaxies.
Dunno about the FTL prob, it’s early days, surely 
Well, DUH. They’re Grey. Idiot.
We most, I mean, THEY most assuredly, do not.
