If you are in a situation like me (at work bored) then you will have loads of time to read over the MoD UFO records that have just been published and decide if you think any of its true?

https://filestore.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pdfs/ufos/defe-24-1960.pdf

(its big - 60MB ish)


A pretty interesting read -

So the question...

Do you believe that in aliens Question

Aliens - yes, it's the logical conclusion.

Have they visited the Earth? No idea, not enough evidence to convince me, and intergalactic travel is a bit of a challenge!

Of course there is other life out there IMO. Intelligent life? Hmmm. It takes a fuck load of coincidence/luck/flukes to get intelligent life.

If only humans realized how special they were, they wouldn't spend all their time on the internet wanking themselves blind Thumbs Up

It would be disappointing if we were it.

I don't know, a mans got to have a hobby... I'd be more concerned about us killing each other off.

I'd even be tempted to add masterbation on to the list of galactic points of commonality... War, peace, loving your off-spring, self-preservation and continuance of species and finally; masterbation.

I don't believe in aliense what so ever, only other life forms and even then it's probably only bacteria and possibly microscopic bugs. People believe in it more because of the media/film industry, Hollywood has made aliens look a certain way and it's stuck since then.

I feel that we think there 'must' be something out there because our brains aren't powerful enough to think otherwise. We can't comprehend the fact of being alone in all of this space.

Aliens don't exist and UFO's are exactly that,unidentified,trick of light,someones imagination etc.There is obviously more to space than people know but it is unexplainable,to me anyway.

Its a bit small minded to dismiss the possibility of life on another planet when (as far as we know) the universe is endless thus making possibilities endless.

Just like recycling? Laughing

Anyway on topic, yes by the law of averages there must be some other form of life out there. How advanced, or aggressive it would be is entirely another matter. Thumbs Up

The point i'm trying to make is space and time are difficult to understand/explain so there may be other stuff out there but not in a way that we could see it or understand it.

This is an interesting point of view because normally it's the other way round, our minds being so narrow we cannot conceive of there being anything beyond ourselves.

It also hooks in religion which is generally what Human-kind uses to allay fears there being nothing beyond this mortal coil.

I quite fancy a malevolent invading force of aliens, it would add a certain tang to life wouldn't it. I wouldn't want them to be too powerful mind, I don't want to be wiped out.

For preference, the baddies from V would be fine as they like to ham things up a little and indulge in a little theatre but are ultimately a bit crap as an invading force.

I used to take time and effort to believe in it all but due to no personal experiences i've given up.
Im just waiting now. I do believe there are UFO's and life in them but i've lost interest, like a third series of mighty boosh.

(I just thought... If we did get invaded a la V. Would The Daily Mail headlines talk about immigration and would there be an Equality & Diversity dilemma in that we couldn't repel the invaders for fear of being branded BNP-esque xenophobes?)

Mmm...

The end of the human race brought on by political correctness...

Shocked

It's pretty likely if the sample space is big enough. And there is no bigger sample space than the universe.

1-in-a-billion shots happen quite regularly if you have 100 billion goes at something. I bet there are 100 billion planets out there.

I think you'll find you are the one that has been lead by the film/media industry, as the term Alien simply means foreign...it is not a word meaning "green, big eyes and can float".

Thus your idea of "life is out there, but perhaps only bacteria etc" is exactly that. Alien life forms. Whether it is intelligent or advanced is of no consequence.

just look at the common cold, how it evolves, no cure just have to let it run it's course. Who said aliens have to a form? Ride in a spaceship?
The common cold could be the way aliens live, breed, travel.

Quick google suggests there are 10^21 stars. So if there were 100 billion planets out there then that is only 1 in 10 billion stars having a planet.

All the best
