why is it that they can travel to where we are and it does not take them millions of years to do so?
Has any scientist bothered to find out a theory of how this is possible?

hey cosmo, maybe they already have, ever think of that?

Albert Einstien theorized something called 'The Einstien-Rosenburg bridge" Whereby since gravitational fields warp time/space, He suggested that a intense enough gravitational warp could actually fold two distant points in space to where they would touch and create a wormhole, or temporal distortion.

This is a very good question, and it is one of the reasons serious people are skeptical of UFO stories.

With the technology we can foresee, interstellar travel is possible, but difficult and expensive. It does take a very long time, and once you get to your destination you're likely to stay for a while. UFO stories, on the other hand, make interstellar travel seem like a weekend jaunt in the car.

The great physicist Enrico Fermi, when first confronted with the idea that the Galaxy would be full of life, asked the question: "But why aren't they here already?" It seemed obvious to him that any life in the Galaxy that was substantially more advanced than us would spread out and occupy all available resources. In other words, if interstellar travel were possible, and there were advanced aliens, why wasn't Earth colonized hundreds of millions of years ago?

I love how you use the word "bothered". Its so condescending. Another such word is "obviously". Obviously you understand what "scientists" have or havent done and why well enough to use the word "bothered".

Thats quite a load of contempt there.

The strongest evidence that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that it has not visited earth.

Technologically speaking, and not sci-fi-movie speaking, the most advanced plausible technology possible is antimatter "catalyzed" fission, and it might take us to the edge of the solar system. Anything beyond that is fiction. Remember that Im saying that from a viewpoint of having studied this particular area intently looking for any holes for around 20 years. If there was any crack to be found, you could easily win yourself glory far above and beyond einstein, and easily win Nobel prizes, and more importantly entire R&D facilities with budgets in hundreds of millions, or even billions per year, if you could find it and show it to be exploitable. Hundreds of thousands of hopefuls scientists and scientist wanna-bees spend millions of hours per year trying to crack the code, and they have spent the same for nearly 100 years, and they have found no such cracks.

If another species was able to travel from a planet that was in another solar system to here, their science is so advanced that they might consider us to be slightly clever monkeys, and not really intelligent creatures at all.

Since UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, why do you automatically assume they are space crafts flown by aliens from other planets?

Scientists would very much like to know how to get around space quickly but being our friends the aliens are more occupied with mutilating cows and destroying crops than helping us, we'll porbably be stuck here for a while.

A "UFO" is an 'unidentified flying object' - that is the definition of a UFO and it is what UFO stands for. Ever seen something fly across the room or across your yard, or across the sky and you didn't get a good enough look at it to see what it was? Well that, was a UFO. Since UFO's are "Unidentified" then that means, that no one knows what it is. Since no one knows what it is, it can't be an alien space craft so everything else that follows in your question is an incorrect assumption.

Where did you get the idea that they can travel anywhere in the universe? The truth is we don't know if aliens have ever visited us or anywhere else for that matter.
Assuming aliens do in fact have a mean of intergalactic travel, they will have to obey the postulates of Relativity. That means that if they travel at, say, 0.9c, to the aliens inside the ship, for every hundred years that passes for us, only one year passes for them. So they should be able to cover long distances.

Scientists will not bother to develop a theory to fit non existing facts. When we have positively identified a UFO as a craft coming from the other side of the galaxy, and able to do so faster than the speed of light, then someone will look into it. Until then, it is futile to explain something that does not exist.

Serious scientists do not believe in these "abducted by aliens" stories.

it has been determined that there are ways to travel faster than light

look up quantom mechanics

they found particles that are bonded on the quantom level
what ever you do the the one,
the opposite happens to the other no matter how far away, faster than the speed of light.

so, if you destroy a particle next to one, the other recreates it faster than the light could travel from one to the other,

(the effect is that the particle traveled from one to the other, faster than light)

they are using this tech to try to build "transporters" like on startrek, but that is very very far away, they are only able to transport atomic particles at this point

anyway....
if you figured out the mechanism behind that, and you could utilize it, you could move at those speeds.
as of now, how that works is not fully know.

Didnt you know Captain Kirk sold out! Him and Spock got some help from the Klingons and they have assisted the UFO s for years... the ufo s have to say but one thing: BEAM ME UP SCOTTIE!
