anybody believes in ufos and seen any?

Answer 1

You've kind of got two good questions here.

1. Who's seen a UFO recently...well, it's not quite the
"Men In Black" - but here you go - http://www.nuforc.org/ - a website where people go to report UFO sightings.

While it's not _totally_ BS free there are always student pranks, people halucinating and whatnot but I reported a flash of light/lights travelling through the clouds, a few years ago and kept checking back at this site, and it turned out it was a meteor or some orbiting debris which raced across 14 states and was reported in the news in the Midwest where the skies were clear and the object itself could be observed clearly and distinctly.




2. As far as aliens are concerned, its your second great question.

Basically the answer to whether there is life in the universe is always a good one.

To answer your question, It's VERY likely that there other civilizations in this galaxy. The reasons is simple but you have to put up with some math and some history.

Back in the 60's some scientists asked the very same question, and came out with a basic formula that figures that out.

The main idea was fleshed out by a scientist named Frank Drake, he basically put some of the parts of the question together differently and assigned a likelyhood/probability to each.

Drake asked the question this way, what was the likelyhood of us communicating with another technically advanced civilization. Since that question breaks down, into parts that we can discover by looking around the universe, over time , we will be able to make a very good guestimate of how many civilizations are out there.

For instance one "factor" in his equasion was "the likelyhood of a sunlike star"

Another "factor" was "The likelyhood of a sunlike star with planets like Earth" - this gives you the basic idea.

The link here, takes you to a PBS special from some time ago which allows you to plug different numbers in and guess how many other civilizations there might be!

But this is where you can keep an eye on the headlines,

The French have recently launched a space-telescope which should be able to find "Earthlike" planets.

Corot Launched : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6203161.stm,
when "Corot" finds some planets, we can then do math to figure out how common they are ,and basically "know" one of the numbers Drake only could guess at in the 1960's.

In a few years the US/NASA will - funding allowed - be able to launch an satelite in 2008 called "Kepler" which will search for "Earthlike" finding space-telescope of our own.

Another question similar to yours is whether we will contact or ever be contacted by an alien civilization.

The SETI program in the 1990's and presently is designed to discovery signals from alien civilizations, and it is regularly if not constantly listening towards the stars for the faintest of signals.

But this question actually has a suprising answer, the answer may ALREADY be yes. The transmission is called the "Wow" signal and was detected on August 15,1977.

IF we asume the "Wow signal" is genuine, we would have been able to detect an alien civilization's message without it being specifically "for" us, which is a rare find, but after only 80 or 90 years could potentially mean the universe is crawling with life!

However, because it's just a fluke since we have not since found another "Wow" type signal,we shouldn't get too excited.

In the movie Contact (based on the Carl Sagan novel), the first 1/2 of the movie shows what a "first contact" situation might actually be like. It's unlikely that the signal would be able to be interpreted in the first couple of years or maybe even decades.

An open and interesting socioloigcal question is what would the immediate aftermath (on Earth) be of a first contact situation, the movie points out some of the "popular" disruptions to society.

Answer 2

Yes, I believe in UFOs, and have seen 2 positive sightings, and possibly another 3 or 4 more. The most incredible aspect about my 2 positive sightings, is that they both occurred in broad daylight, and one was in a built up metropolitan area. Why no one else seen this UFO is beyond me, but to my knowledge, there were no other independent reports of the sighting I heard of, even though the UFO was visible in very good light conditions above where I worked at the time. To this day, I cannot understand why nobody else saw the same UFO I did, and it remains a puzzle to me !

Answer 3

nicely, there's a great variety of alleged info yet little settlement as to its legitimacy. The alien deliver era began in 1947, while pilot Kenneth Arnold stated disk-formed plane flying close to Mount Rainier. Sightings persisted, and a central authority study concluded no longer something unusual became occurring. besides the incontrovertible fact that, persistent comments and the dissenting evaluations of a few renowned insiders have persisted to pique activity interior the phenomenon. Believers contain a CIA director, a Joint Chiefs chairman, and Jimmy Carter. The call Roswell has substitute into synonymous with UFOs. In 1947, the Air rigidity introduced it had recovered a crashed "flying disk," later claiming it became basically a downed climate balloon. In 1978, a former base officer who had gathered the debris stated he believed the wreckage became extraterrestrial. In 1994, the Air rigidity stated the crashed merchandise became unquestionably a balloon from a secret protection rigidity project; it issued a very final checklist on the incident in 1997. the communicate, besides the incontrovertible fact that, keeps. different interesting circumstances contain UFOs over the White abode; a 1986 sighting by utilising a Japan airlines pilot; and the alleged touchdown of a craft at an American base in England, an experience that became recorded by utilising the deputy base commander. All of that's thrilling, yet until eventually aliens land on the 50-backyard line in the process the super Bowl, skeptics will constantly grant selection motives.

Answer 4

I believe they exist, if there are microbes living on the moon and Mars there are definitely other life forms out there.

I had a strange experience as a child, my Mom was watching a friends house and they lived in an old farmhouse way out in the boonies. I was upstairs in the home at night, my cousin and I were getting ready for bed and suddenly the room was filled with blinding green and red lights, they left as quickly as they had come - both of us remember it well.

Answer 5

I do believe that they are out there but I have never personally seen one unless I can count my towns water tower which is painted as a space ship with martians in the windows.
I have a hard time believing that we are the only life forms in this vast universe.

Answer 6

No, I don't do drug's, I don't drink, and yes I did see a small ufo when i was about 10 in my bedroom.

Answer 7

i believe ufo's are gov'ts secret technology, not another world.
