Inexplicable gaps in the theory of UFO's?

Question

I firmly believe that extraterrestrial races have been visiting earth for thousands of years. I have read hundreds of accounts of contact, and carefully reviewed transcripts of radar showing impossible aerodynamics. There are thousands of documented cases, each with hundreds of witnesses. It can't all be a hoax or mistaken identity.

However, when it comes to stories of human contact with aliens, something doesn't seem quite right. I have never read about aliens being fascinated with our culture. You would think that they would comment about the astounding array of human arts, everything from sculptures to modern painting. If aliens really have had contact with humans, why have I never read any account of their impression of our culture?

Also, unless there is some "Prime Directive" about non-interference in another culture (ala Star Trek), why has no alien ever offered some new technology to help make wars obsolete?

Something seems to be amiss. What is your opinion?

Wouldn't aliens be fascinated with our movies? Our music? (well, maybe not Britney Spears, but RUSH should raise a few alien eyebrows, if indeed they have eyebrows.

I appreciate the point of view that extraterrestrials would be so far advanced that we would seem primitive to them, but aren't we not only interested, but absolutely in awe of the "primitive" cultures we read about?

I would think the sharp contrast between our evolutionary scale and theirs would be cause for them to be quite interested in our culture.

Wouldn't super intelligent beings crave something as relatively simplistic as our culture?

I am shocked by the snide, flippant comments. If aliens are truly intelligent, then they have an advanced sense of wonderment and curiosity. They would naturally be curious about the huge gamut of art our civilizations have produced. Certainly, they would be quite different than what developed on other planets.

Wouldn't there be some scientist on board an extraterrestrial craft who is in charge of cataloguing alien cultures and artifacts?

Answer 1

Cool K, it is you that must grow up. Show me proof that we are the only life in the ever expanding universe, and I will believe you. You must be simple minded to assume that no life other than ours exists. We postulate that extraterrestrial life must be none-existent because we have never knowingly been visited by the "others"; have we ever visited the "others" themselves? Why must we assume that all extraterrestrial life must be highly intelligent? Perhaps they face the same challenge of communicating across the universe as we do. Additionally, what makes us stand out from the billions of other solar systems? If some highly intelligent civilizations has actually found a way to travel across a galaxy in a short amount of time, perhaps they are simply unaware of us, or are focused to getting to other parts of the universe. I am not certain that extraterrestrial life has ever paid a visit to planet Earth, but I do not doubt that it is possible. Much of the information that we should have access to is classified, thus perhaps something may not have been told. Anyone who firmly believes that no other life exists can do so; their thought is a joke, however, without any proof.

Answer 2

The call of the question, "flying saucers concept", factors out an significant fake impression. A flying saucers isn't a spaceship, neither is it an airplane, nor a rooster. A flying saucers is a few element that's, by capability of utilising definition, now not known. To be a spaceship, or a airplane or a rooster, it to be known, thereby taking it out of the class of unidentified. One intense blunders is that of the pretend duality. people who use the term flying saucers to intend spaceship are creating an significant logical blunders. They assume that some element that isn't be in a place to be known, and for this reason is unidentified, is a community deliver from a diverse worldwide. that's the least maximum possibly reason of a flying saucers, because of the actuality there many circumstances wherein you are able to still have a thought of a flying merchandise wherein that's plenty greater possibly to be a lie, hallucination, hoax, unidentifiable airplane, some distance away climate balloon or some element greater advantageous conceivable than a community deliver from a diverse worldwide. that's, one won't be in a place to think of that that's an alien section deliver by capability of utilising different than diverse concerns. And no one has convincing scientific evidence of a flying saucer.

Answer 3

HOW CAN YOU BE TALKING ABOUT THAT WITH ARE COUNTRY BEING INVADED BY ALIENS?????????????
With that said there is an African tribe that has some system of stars that an explorer got a hold of in the 1800s, it was not know till the big telescope Hubble pick it up 160 years later or how about the Indians down south, a friend told me they have a monthly calender that is just as good as a nuclear clock. How can this be? When will we know the answer to this?

Answer 4

Ponder this! This planet and it's multiple cultures are a breeding ground for other species. We're spawned here like salmon, group together to learn the culture of our ancestors and when we mature to the point of returning to our species, we cross over into an abyss via one of the 'black holes'. We are allowed that journey once we gather the secrets of our species and can pass the test of time travel, which is essential. Otherwise we recycle until we accomplish this fete and the understanding thereof .....

Answer 5

I don't have a strong opinion either way about whether or not alien races exist or not, but I see your point.

My opinion is that if thier is life out thier besides our own we can't be sure of what kind of thought processess they have. They might not care about our art, but might be more interested in how our bodies work. Why are we here? How did we get here? Things like that. They might just have more important things to figure out.

If you were an alien what would you want to ask first? How did this race get here? or Who's this John Lennon fellow and why was he shot?

Answer 6

If YOU firmly BELIEVE it, it MUST BE SO.

Not one doubt about it.

Heck, how can we ever question your judgment?

No siree!

No doubts here.

Like we had no doubts either that there were WMD in Iraq.

And that Saddam was ten minutes away from launching an all out nuclear attack against the US.

And that it was impossible that we might end up in a quagmire. There wasn't even a word like that in the dictionary! "Quagmire"... who had ever heard of such a thing?

And there were known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns.

And the world was all good because we had "Mission Accomplished!"

So how in the world could I ever believe that you are wrong about UFOs?

;-)

Answer 7

I like the Star trek prime directive theory. Maybe it's just that, we are still too young for ET to show themself to us in plain sight. Can you imagine the panic having UFO's landing in major town all over the world ? I don't think most of us a ready for that.

As far as the existence of ET, there is no denial, it's been reported for as long as their was man on earth. Hell even cave man drawings shows stuff that look like flying machines.

Answer 8

I'll believe it when this proverbial science fiction scene occurs: a flying saucer lands on the White House lawn. The aliens emerge and their captain demands, "Take me to your leader."

Answer 9

You know what they say about assumptions right? You're sure making a lot of them!

I'd say it's doubtful that there ISN'T intelligent life out there but very doubtful that they've been here. If they're capable of making it here, then we're still monkeys in universal evolution to them.

Answer 10

I am an addict on Extra-Terrestials, and I think that ETs are interested in our environment. ETs' planets are probably very unusual; they probably take our planet as a great piece of art.
