Answer 1

Yes. Our galaxy itself contains 100 million stars. We are just one of millions of billions of galaxies. I find it hard (and arrogant) to think that we are the only intelligent life in the universe.

Now, whether they've been here or not is another story. I truely have no idea. All the 'evidence' that suggests they may have, could be false. So I just plain don't know.

But I don't really think we're taught to fear them. Maybe movies and shows of them abducting people and hurting them (painful anal probes and whatnot) might give this message, but....well....no I guess your right. We are kinda 'taught' to fear them.

But I would hope that the same people who can't even live in peace with someone of a different race would have an open mind if another species of life from 'out there' were to come and publicly introduce themselves.

I wouldn't think any 'alien' that would come and visit us would want to hurt us. Maybe learn a little bit about us. Who knows, maybe they know we're here and just don't care. Maybe we're too primative and violent for them to want to introduce themselves.

Heck, maybe they may have already been here, a loooong time ago and missed the human race by a couple of million years. And in the distance of planet to planet, galaxy to galaxy, they might not ever be back.........really, who knows?

Thanks for letting me rant.

Answer 2

Logically even from a Darwinite stance extraterrestrials have more of a chance of being then not. If life here can by way of evolution. some primodial ooze of the right enzymes getting zapped by a bolt of lightning and thus spawning life. To think that with all the dozens of billions of stars, THIS is the only place it did happen? Given 100s or millions or even billions of years people believe the universe is? That soulds kind of arrogant and self-obsorbed to me. Like a 5 year old who thinks he/she is the center of the world and all roads lead to them.

Why might people debunk this? Man, being the head honcho around here, would not want to admit there is something out there bigger and badder maybe. Take a look at all the people living here who just can't admit someone is better or they made a mistake. The government would not want to admit it. Because it would make them look weak. Space bourn crafts violating US air space with impunity and no way to stop them. The US, super power of the world. Uncle Sam say jump and all others do not ask why but how high, and can I do it again? Super powers can not have that.

Abductions. If beings could come from distant galaxies here. They would have to be as advance to us as we would have been to Neanderthal man, or worse. Just as Julius Caesar would not have been able to comprehend the cell phone because the technology to run it, much less, electricity has not even been discovered. So these beings on these crafts could have tapped in to a power source that is as blind to us as electricity was to anchient Rome. And what did our forfathers do when they explored? They trapped a few, and brought some back. Today they tag some here and there. If these beings are that advanced, would not we seem like primative apes? We can not even take care of our sick and poor or live on this planet without killing each other in droves.

In our life time we will never meet these people. We are far too savage and primative to meet,. They would just study us from a far as we do lions and sharks. When was the last time you really thought you could meet and greet a silver back ape and thought it would be a mutually good interchange? Not lately I am thinking.

You can look at the logic, or simply adobt the self-centered "I am the only intelligent live in as many star systems as there are grains of sand on a beach".

And for those non-thinking self-centered nit wits who try to use the "non contact" as proof they are not there. If you were out camping and you seen a bear are you going to stand right out in the open knowing you could be attacked? They would not show themselves to us. We would be so caught up in our "they are coming to eat me" BS we would try to shoot them down then ask question.

Answer 3

1. Probablity tells us that aliens almost have to exist somewhere in the universe.
2. The technological level it would take a race, either ours or alien, to begin reaching out to other stars/galaxies is immense, and the human race is certainly nowhere near this level.
3. If an alien race happened to be advanced enough to reach us, I believe their reaction would be somewhat like ours if we encounter an ant-hill, or a beehive. We do not try to befriend or even communicate with the insects. Why would aliens bother with 'insects'?
4. Conversely, we could become their little playthings. This could be a lot of fun.

All in all, the likelihood of us ever being located by anyone else is slim, so no matter what danger they would represent to us, the risk to us is minimal.

Answer 4

Given the extremely vast number of stars and the growing evidence of planets around other stars (which leads to a reasonable conclusion that there is an incredibly large number of planets), I think it is likely that other life forms existed, exist now, or will exist. Put another way, it seems unlikely that life would only occur on just one of the "trillions and trillions" of planets.

I also think it is possible that non-Earth life may exist in our own solar system (or did exist or will exist), in the relatively-small pockets off Earth that are conducive to life.

But this is all about life in general -- plant life, microbes, etc. all qualify. As for "intelligent life" -- the type we consider as "aliens" -- versus plant life or relatively-unintelligent animals, there might be (or have been) such life forms, but I do NOT believe they have ever been anywhere near Earth.

I think "alien abductions" are pure bunk. I think UFO sightings are a conglomerate of bunk and misunderstandings. I feel quite confident in saying that there is nothing to fear -- at least not from intelligent alien life. (The universe provides lots of things to fear that aren't intelligent or even living.)

In the *extremely* unlikely event that we ever encountered non-Earth intelligent life, I would expect war, at least initiated by residents of this planet, since little evidence is given of any more intelligent response. As long as Earth peoples fall back on the mythology of the various Earth religions, they prove their primitive thinking and make it highly unlikely that an intelligent reaction would follow an encounter with intelligent alien life.

We have much more to fear from ourselves and our outdated myths than from anything beyond our skies.

Answer 5

Who has a class on fearing aliens? Usually, we are most afraid of things outside our frame of reference. If they really exist, there will be some unique or odd characteristics that make them different. That is what generates the potential for fear--that and the fact that we can scarsely more than imagine travelling to distant stars, if they are able to pull it off they have a technological advantage way above anything we can do, so I sure hope that if any exist and then came here, they would indeed have peaceful or benign intentions.

Answer 6

My apologies for I only have one reference to my answer... lol. This one is quite convincing and I recommend for you to read the Betty and Barney Hill Abduction:

Link: www.ufocasebook.com/Hill.html

Today, though, it may seem impossible for aliens to visit Earth because we have the technology to detect even a tiny bolt entering our atmosphere. However, if you've seen the movie "Die Another Day" (James Bond) or "I, Spy", it showed stealth capabilities of a car and a jet that even the naked eye cannot be able to see. In reference to the above link, it demonstrated that the aliens were way too advanced in terms of technology (back in 1960s) compared to ours. Therefore, they may have already developed the technology of invisibility and they may have been on and off our planet undetected -- and therefore, they are intelligent by far.

But hey, if I were an alien, I'd rather leave a monitor in outerspace to see what's been going on and how Earth is developing -- be it in terms of technology, relationship, trend, style, etc... or how are we destroying or preserving our planet. One thing for sure, aliens will come here for invasion. But why invade Earth whose inhabitants are destroying each other already? Well, unless if they're planet is also becoming over populated lol. ~_^

Answer 7

Yes. August 1989 Lake Tahoe California, 1:00AM Camping with friends. Unbelievable "space crafts" moving way too fast in all different directions and coming together. I've seen the SR-71 take off at Beale Airforce Base in comparison it was slow as a snail. If Aliens intent was to harm us they would have done it a long time ago. We have more to worry about killing ourselves and I bet they are watching us for that reason. Not to mention our Governments secrecy about Alien life forms and alien technology hidden to benefit mankind. That is worse. We could probably solve many things in life ie. energy, health etc., but people profiting from oil are held at greater moral significance. Free energy that would solve almost everything.

Answer 8

I believe there HAS to be! It is very arrogant to think that we are the only intelligent beings around! I believe that they have visited and are here. I think there are many different kinds. Some are more like us......such as Pleadians........then there are the ones that have no emotions......perhaps Greys or Reptileans. There are many beings on this earth that are shadowed and in disguise........I believe we will have open contact in the next 100 years. Scares the crap out of me too! LOL One doesnt know what to expect ......at all.....they could be curious and friendly......curious and scientific. (not good for us) or curious and violent! Who knows! Im not sure that I want to be here in the physical when that happens.

Answer 9

I belive alians exist. Why else would God of created such a large universe. It just doesn't seem likely that I had all the power imaginable i would just put life on one little planet orbiting a secluded star. I'd put life everywhere.

Assuming there are lots of different alians, not all alians can be malicious. Just there are bad people in this world there are others that wouldn't harm a thing.

Answer 10

Aleins do exist the maths shows that it is very likely. However intelligent life is based upon mutual understanding between beings within a species something we call love. so they probably would just wanna talk to you. If anything be afraid of people from the future.
