Are we being visited by extraterrestrials?

Question

There is so much circumstantial "evidence" and so little (if any) real substantive evidence that can be absolutely verified. Is it all just wishfull thinking, or is there more to this?

Answer 1

[Excerpts from Science and Christianity: Chapter 5. Who Is Man, Really?]
Enrico Fermi once proposed the famous question, "Where are they?", in reference to extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). He was implying that if extraterrestrials existed, then we should be visited by them. This is a logical conclusion assuming a certain population of intelligent life within our Galaxy, because a number of these civilizations would have existed much longer than our own and would have overcome the immense difficulties of interstellar space travel. Since we do not have "hard evidence" that we are being visited, the conclusion is that ETIs must not exist.

However, since we exist, we know it is possible for the universe to produce intelligent life, but how probable is our existence? Although we know that there are many stars like our sun with probable planetary systems similar to our solar system, some astronomers argue that we are unique in the universe, requiring just the right galaxy, supernova rate, star, moon, magnetic field, thickness of crust, quantity of greenhouse gases, etc. Other astronomers believe our own Galaxy is full of intelligent life, despite Fermi's question. There is no consensus among astronomers, biologist, and other scientists regarding the answer to this question, and it may be a long time before there is.

My answer is "here we are" implying that since we exist, there are (or will be) most likely other intelligent life forms in the universe (if not the Galaxy). If we make the simple and reasonable assumption that we are not a fluke, then our universe has -- at the very least -- a significant probability (say 50%) of producing at least one intelligent life form (us) in 10 billion years. If this is the case, then there is a good chance that there is at least one or a handful of other intelligent civilization in the universe right now or will evolve in the future.

Answer 2

Nothing about consipracies I ever listen to or believe in, and I do not accept everything my own government reports, because they only tell the public what they think is in the best interest of the country.

For aliens visiting us, I wonder why so many people believe that anyone could reach us in this galaxy alone, let alone all of the universe? Why people are so eager to accept the possibility of engines that can launch a ship through "hyper space" a wormhole, bend space etcetera, when there is conclusive evidence that while things could exist (wormholes have been proven), we will never find the energy or have the means to harness that technology.
Mostly, any civilisation, if one exists besides ourselves that is intelligent (I use "intelligent" loosely with our species), they would be governed by the laws of the universe and while travelling to other stars is possible, would still only be in the form of Plant-Ship, or pre-programmed vessels carrying DNA strands to other world that will eventually plant the strands of life on other words for colonisation. Manned space flight between star to star is impossible, given the distance (some 4 light years to Centauri alone would take near on 200 years) and everyone will be dead who left Earth long before. Only Plant-Ships or Planetary Conolisation vessels (hollowed asteroids) with enough power, food, materialto support 5+ generations is possible, meaning anyone alive now who leaves Earth will not be alive to see the dawn of day on an alien world.

As far as little conclusive proof goes about extraterrestrials, if there are any real probabilities we have found but ept in the dark by our governments, then they are in the form of robotic drones, not actual abductions.

Last thing, why do we also assume there are more advanced civilisations, when for all we know, we could be the most advanced civilisation in the universe, millions of years ahead of any other, who could just be developing language right now?

Answer 3

It sure seems that way. I personally don't believe our government alone is capable of covering all of it up either.I have my own bizarre memories of what others believe are extraterrestrials. The devices they gave me are conveniently missing now.So, it would appear to me there is still so much to be desired as of real solid proof.Thinking of it all now seems like a living nightmare. The therapist makes me feel like an idiot for even talking about it. It's hard to believe it was all my imagination so someone had to plant all of those memories in my head. In a way it pisses me off as if I was just an experiment for disinformation. Man did they go overboard though. That's the real point; way too much disinformation to disguise some experimental air crafts.

Answer 4

There are ancient landing strips in parts of the worl and carvings on mayan ruins of peopelike beings in space helmets and rockets under them, so yes i think we have been visited plus many sightings plus the univerce is too large for us to be the only intelligent life.They may even already have time travel devicesThe bible even talks about spinning wheels in the sky

Answer 5

Well, if you are talking about all the folks out there who are against religion and are against Christians, and they go to the religious forums for the purpose of mocking those with particular beliefs and spewing their hatred toward them, then I would say that yes, we are being visited by extraterrestrials, because I thought our planet was inhabited by nicer folks than these.

How is that for a good run-on sentence?

Answer 6

don't say any more there(gov.) watching us. They will get you if you know too much. watch more x-files, learn the Truth. lol fool your already being brain washed to thinking that you must pay tax's and must work and must watch TV, so there is no Alien's its all a big ploy to kept you from stressed out about something not there so you will just pay your tax's and work, so that the fat cats can live in the mansions and eat caviar.

Answer 7

Wishful thinking until we see some evidence

Answer 8

My ex the extraterrestrial doesn't visit anymore

Answer 9

Yes... The are among us and evidently are observing us. The look like us.

Answer 10

Yes, but not just visited. There are many of us who have chosen to reside on Earth.
