I bet you do.
 
I don't think we are alone in the universe
 
I WANT to believe in visitors from other places, but I chalk all the sitings up to pranks, anomalies, and experimental and/or classified aircraft thus far. I hold the door open just for the whimsy of it though (and it is a great way to get annoying people to leave you alone at parties to talk about it like you are 100% certain it is true. They usually head for the hills--that and conspiracy theories)
 
Of course I believe in flying saucers.

My ex wife had quite the temper and the tea set was cheap enough to afford the breakage.
 
I think they probably exist.

Never saw one,hope not to see one,

but too many people I respect-pilots,astronauts etc

have for me to think they don't
 
Seeing as how there's not any scientifically verified evidence of them and, almost all of the claims made about them have been disproven, no.

The very nature of UFOs (key word: UNIDENTIFIED) implies that their nature/existence is a mystery. If you can't identify something, then proof or lack thereof doesn't even enter the picture. Now obviously many UFO sightings have been explained (or at least folks have attempted to explain them without involving paranormal phenomena), but given the sheer number of potential sightings and incidents it's rather premature to conclude that "almost all claims have been disproven."

The best I can tell the phenomena remains a mystery. Whether or not it involves extraterrestrials is a conclusion that hasn't been made definitively and probably never will.

People used the same reasoning with Bigfoot but in the end it turned out to be a big hoax.

They are identifiable if they supposedly in existence and especially if they appear on Earth so evidence and proof are possible. You may not be able to identify the size, shape, occupants, etc. but the saucer is either there or it's not. If it is there, it's identifiable; if not, then it's not identifiable. People mislabel things constantly. These "sightings" are disproven through normal means. It's quite typical of just hearsay, as well. There's not a mystery; it's not 50-50. It's "there's no evidence for them, so it's illogical to posit them being here." A nice, big, healthy dose of skepticism might help here.

Now, a better counterargument to my argument would've been pointing out that these are paranormal activities (not the movies, folks) and that, by definition, paranormal means that which lies outside of the current scientific realm.
 
As in, alien spacecraft from another civilization buzzing the Earth for ****s and giggles, or experiments or observations?


I wouldn't entirely rule it out as impossible, but there are many reasons why it is improbable... and I've yet to see really compelling evidence of same.


So if I had to vote yes or no it would be no.... although I firmly believe there may be other sapient life on other worlds in the universe.
 
Why not? There are billions of stars so why couldn't we have visitors from some?

But - they probably turn right around and get out of here! :roll:
 
I think it is statistically very likely there is life elsewhere in the universe. But I am not convinced it has "visited Earth" based on the available evidence.
 
What do you think?

If you are talking about space alien craft then yes I do believe in that.That said I do not believe anyone here on earth saw one, or that aliens abducted people nor do I believe aliens are going to invade.To be able to travel all over space requires a **** load of technological advances.This includes camouflage/stealth technology which would hide the space craft from plain view. This also includes telescopes,sensors and other similar technology that would allow them to observe without actually stepping foot off their space craft or even planet. There are also billions or perhaps trillions of planets, moons and asteroids in the universe that can be terraformed or resources obtained from and the fact that earth may be totally hostile to space alien life(such as gravity,pressure, temperatures, light and so on) so an invasion is out of the question.
 
Yeah sure. People have built a few.

Obviously, flying saucers are scouting parties sent by the hyper-evolved dinosaur men currently living beyond the orbit of the planet Neptune. They've been raising us like cattle for millions of years, don'tcha know. It only makes sense that they'd come by to check on the status of the herd every now and then. :yes:

Flying saucers and govt conspiracies? Yes. Living extraterrestrial beings besides religious ones (my religion), no. I know religion isn't allowed which is why I used it vaguely
 
What do you think?


I believe in the possibility of extraterritorial life and that they may have visited or even visiting the earth. To put things in very simple terms, I do believe in the unknown
