Yup, no proof of them being aliens either.

Look up the definition of 'alien' it means unfamiliar, not known, unheard of, foreign. If that's what people jumped to the conclusion of, then they are 100% correct. Entertain me and give me your explanation of something you cannot explain? would you also use the term? How do you describe both O'hare and Phoenix cases? It appears no one can even to this day.
There is a documentary about the Phoenix lights incident, it might clear the view for you.

Just show me the proof, I'm open to new ways of thinking, I really am.
I'm into science, I really am. I even own a few microscopes. I just need some proof.
You may think you're all smart as hell for your matrix construct ideas, but no youre not, I had those thoughts some 40 years ago. You have just seen the film and tried to expand.
I am very aware that our understanding of science changes, but you have to prove it, for it to be accepted. |

Interesting video about the Nimitz Encounter.
Now the US government has lifted the lid a little to allow reporting of such events, lets hope we can learn more.

Can't really argue with something like that regarding authenticity, never mind the fact the likelihood of it being human technology is next to zero. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

Just started watching Brain Cox's "The Planets" and a thought struck (oh no, not again...)
The chemical composition of the Earth, as in what's common on the surface, doesn't relate brilliantly to organic life. Water plays the most significant role and I think it would be fair to argue that if you don't have liquid water on a planet you're not going to see complex life develop.
After water the most significant element is carbon which, while relatively common in the universe at large (4th most abundant element according to wikipedia) only the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Everything else you need: nitrogen, potassium, calcium, etc. there's plenty about for the trace amounts needed for life.
I would hypothesise there's a fairly rigid template for organic life, i.e. carbon-based, water dependant, that we, on this planet, have been lucky enough to enjoy despite not actually having idea conditions. (Maybe "ideal" conditions might have life appear just a bit sooner, to be fair.)
Once you start down the organic life route I think there's a inevitability that a "general purpose" lifeform will appear. Looking at our planet there's us, crows, rats and cockroaches (you could argue to add more or less to the list but you get the gist) the former two using brains to deal with problems and the latter two using shear numbers. (Although rats are obviously pretty smart!) While there are more successful animals my examples live pretty much everywhere - you're not going to see a horseshoe crab going through the bins of your local McDonalds!
So if we do bump into alien life I think the striking thing will be how similar they'll be rather than how different. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
