Have you ever had an encounter?

Anything's possible, but I'm skeptical at best.

No.

We are four light years from the nearest star.
Earth is a bizarre accident of a wet planet being in a goldilocks zone of habitability of a very narrow range of stars.

If another intelligent species exists in the universe, they either died already, haven't existed yet, or are vastly too far away for any meaningful communication. The only possible exception is if they're in this same star system, probably Titan or Europa.

i see the newest SMALt has arrived

I believe that it's a statistical improbability that we are the only intelligent life in the universe.

However I doubt we have or ever will encounter any of it.

Ah. You get it.

We can't be the only ones. Those other ones are way over there, though.

I have seen multiple Unidentified Flying Objects that have moved in strange ways that cant be explained by how normal airplanes, balloons, satellites or asteroids moves.
Secret technology, natural phenomena or aliens? Could have been any and all of them to my knowledge.

We have found over 4000 planets out there, and at least 46 of them are in what we call the habitable zone. May seem low, but life might evolve different under different conditions.

Ball lightning is the most common variant.

Nah, nothing like that or the Hessdalen lights.

UFOs: Of course. Any flying object that doesn't get an identification is a UFO. Birds, spycraft, kites, alien vessels, dense clouds that ping weird. I know Baptists exist even though that doesn't prove the existence of God or a god and UFOs are the same.

Alien species with intelligence elsewhere: It seems very likely and I would say so. Why doubt the power of natural law?

Aliens who have visited (in UFOs or otherwise): No.
---

I believe in UFOs. That is undeniable.

I do not believe UFOs are at all related to aliens as if aliens exist, they have never been to earth.
---

No, we're alone I'm dis universe
---

Yes
---

Sure, I'm not arrogant or religious enough to think we're the only, smartest creatures in the vast majority of the universe that we know practically nothing about.

The idea of aliens scared me as a kid, but I'd love to experience something like that now.

---

I almost think it's illogical to think there is nothing alive outside of our planet. So alien life, yes, I absolutely believe something else is alive that doesn't live on Earth.

Intelligent life is completely different, alien craft that have visited this planet? Highly unlikely. If they would even have the technology to reach our planet, chances are they know something about us, our species, and likely don't want to visit here because we as a whole are a pretty scummy species.
---

Absolutely there has to be something out there

yes. people who don't think any aliens exist in the entire universe are naive

I believe in UFOs but not necessarily in them being alien related.

They are more likely to be time-traveling humans from the future than beings from a different star system. Not saying aliens are unlikely or that I don't believe they are out there (how can they not, considering how vast our universe is and how little we understand), but it all depends on perspective and belief I guess.
---

When it comes to aliens, one must factor in time. Perhaps aliens existed at one point, maybe millions of years ago.

As far as UFOs, maybe, but I doubt it.

---

I've never seen a UFO. I've always been able to properly identify any alien spacecraft I saw.

All joking aside, I like to think that somewhere out there in the near infinite reaches of space, there must be something. Billions of solar systems, trillions of planets, over billions and billions of years, it'd honestly be more surprising if we somehow proved definitively there was nothing. Though, as Fermi put it, if the chances of life being out there are so likely, "then where is everybody?".

As to that, maybe they are not space faring or hyper intelligent, so the odds of other species finding us or us finding them is extraordinarily low, but I do believe Earth-esque planets are out there supporting a wide range of life. I just don't necessarily buy into the idea that actual space craft are near or on Earth. I think that stuff tends to generally fall more into conspiracy land. I think that if life is out there, it's likely to be in a similar situation as us, stuck on it's own world, looking up at the sky, and wondering what else is out there.

@RoadsterUFO

Any thoughts on this topic?
---

White people knew these things were real

I think there is all types of civilizations. from dinosaur worlds to stone age, to everyone leading up to modern day, and more advanced than us. it's not just one alien species. there probably many and everyone is at a different stage of development

Yes and I'm sure the major world leaders all know about it and have kept it a secret for very long. We may have few captured aliens in cages somewhere... Who knows

one thing that always intrigues me is the thought of if aliens ever visited earth during the dinosaur era. and if so, do they have pictures and videos still of that time? imagine if aliens came and showed us actual video footage of the jurassic period

Some stats I usually post in these topics.

Milky Way and Andromeda combined have an estimated 1.2 to 1.5 trillion stars and these are two galaxies out of an estimated 200 billion to 2 trillion number of galaxies in the observable universe.

The chances of life given that just in our galaxy alone is very high. There's an estimated 11 billion Earth like planets in the Mike Way alone.

However, two things that still make it impossible for any of us to interact is the simple fact that distances between stars are immense, and physically speaking, it doesn't seem that c can be exceeded. On top of that is the 14 billion year age of the universe. There could have been a massive civilization on a planet not far from here and they could have been destroyed billions of years before the Earth even existed.

Imagine if they had time lapsed footage of Earth from space covering the entire Globe over millions of years since the Dinosaur era.

Wouldn't that be amazing.

yea that would be pretty incredible

I'd be a great ironic scenario where aliens do come down with this footage and show us the upbringing of humanity and it turns out all these things that the "ancient aliens" nut jobs think are the cause of aliens were solely down to us. To have it confirmed aliens exist, but your entire belief system was also shit on because of it. lol

We just have to find the stargate

That would be hilarious. I would whole heartedly approve.

No.

Yes I think they exist but its highly unlikely humans will ever interact with em
