There may be other life forms out there somewhere, but we will never know them, and vice versa, unless someone can explain to me how anyone mastered traveling at many times the speed of light to get here, or how we're going to do that in order to get somewhere else. I think agnostics who believe in UFOs are particularly daffy. God they can't accept, but extra-terrestrials travelling at the speed of light? No problem! The point being that neither has been directly observed. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on September 5, 2012, 3:33 pm - (0 votes)

Yeah, but if I'm an alien, I'd prefer test subjects who were fairly representative of the human species. (You know, folks with NORMAL brains and livers.) Besides, these must be dimwitted aliens because it's taking them an awfully long time - decades, it seems - to get our innards figured out. I call bullshit on the entire notion of alien visitations. Humanity has been broadcasting radio signals into space for a mere century, which means those signals have traveled about 100 lightyears. The odds of a spacefaring civilization living as close as 50 lightyears from Earth - that's 50 years for the earliest radio signals to reach them, a couple of days for them to immediately jump into their spaceships, and 50 more years for those spaceships, traveling at light-speed, to arrive here today - are pretty dim, if one considers that there are only a handful of stars that close to our solar system. (Besides, these alleged sightings have been taking place for a loooong time; the aliens would have had to depart their planet BEFORE the invention of radio on Earth, which begs the question of why they came this way in the first place. Subject this stuff to logic and hard science, and it falls to pieces. But it's romantic, and it feeds the psychological needs of some people, so it will continue to be believed (at least for as long as our public schools continue to do a poor job of teaching our kids). -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 25, 2011, 8:18 pm - (0 votes)

But look at the flip side. Think if alien lifeforms have been studying us for years, yet want to stay totally anonymous. What better thing to do than to go after the loons in the boondocks and drunks. Nobody will listen to them. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on September 11, 2010, 8:41 am - (1 votes)

Credibility gap takes my vote. I'd like to believe there are other life forms out there, but they'd surely abduct someone who doesn't live in a shack in the boonies swigging moonshine or escaped from the local loony bin. -- Submitted By: (BigAl) on September 9, 2010, 11:11 pm - (1 votes)
