In the best spirit of does sasquatch exist my questions , are we alone in the universe? Do aliens exist or are people just blowing smoke up our butts? What say you all?
cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war.....

Anyone who thinks we are the lone intelligent or most advanced beings among the billions of star systems out there is narcistic.
Wayyyyy too big to be just us.
I believe in aliens,bigfoot, ogo pogo, loch nest. I wish they'd spend half as much money exploring earth and our oceans as they have on space exploration .
No.
No way are we the only lfe as we know it in the universe
Billions of chances and billions of chances entire species and races have come and gone ;
Even now a lit of people think and speculate earth has been thru many events that took us back to basic zero with just enought humans or close to repopulate over the eons
And explain why so much old impressive buildings and items we can not explain how they were made are left over from earlier advanced cilivazations
Yep, I think it’s just us. Guess I’m a raging narcissist. Haha! 😉
Makes two of us! 😁
Also, why do "they" keep traveling light years just to pop in and out with no real trace? If I traveled LIGHT YEARS........I would at least ask to us the bathroom before I turned and went back! 😁
Also, no to big foot
Maybe to loch Ness, that is a DEEP hole.
There is undoubtedly intelligent life out there. But it and we will never meet. Unless we do not understand the laws of physics, space travel to or from beyond our immediate few neighbor stars is impossible. It's a simple matter of distance and speed.
If you believe in mathematical probability, then 100% we are not alone. I wonder how often we have been visited and the famous "Star Trek" line has been uttered, "There is no intelligent life down there." As I look around myself at todays world I find it hard not to realize that the no "intelligent life here on Earth" might not be dead on. But we must always remember we have Border Collies so I guess intelligent life does exist on earth!!😂😁🤣
The only way Big Foot exists is if there is a different dimension that Big Foot travels between. Something man sized cannot stay hidden day after day. So either BF pops in for a visit every now and then, retreating to his/hers safe place in another dimension or BF doesn't exist. Doesn't exist would be my opinion.
Loch Ness?? Nessie?? Oh please. Zero probability!
There's also a 100% mathematical probability we have not been visited. If you accept that travel above the speed of light is impossible, then it is also physically impossible for any aliens to have visited us. The distances are far too great and the likelihood of an advanced civilization within our own galaxy so vanishingly small that it is just an impossibility that they are flitting around in our atmosphere willy nilly.
Further, how would they know we are here? Our earliest radio transmissions have been travelling only about 100 years, and that's the universe's equivalent of a millimeter on the way from LA to New York.
There may indeed be intelligent species out there - but none of them will ever meet.
I believe Rocky is on the right track. Barring the idea that "they" have mastered a wormhole, folded space, developed warp speed etc . the distance is too big .
There are others but we will never meet
If I were to put 10 coins in my pocket numbered 1 through 10, chances of pulling out number 5 would be one in ten. If I were to pull the coins out of my pocket 1 through 10 in order the chances are one in ten billion. To claim that this life, and all other forms of life on this planet just happened would be the equivalent of throwing a five thousand piece puzzle in the air and having it land in place. Chances of that happening would be around one to the two hundredth power, that’s a one with two hundred zeros behind it.
Something on the size and scale of the universe did not just happen, it was thought out planned and created. There is a reason why solar systems and galaxies are so far apart.
Will we ever go to other galaxies? No, distance is to great. Is there life on other planets in the galaxies? We will never know, or maybe better we shouldn’t know.
if you can travel forward and back in time at the same time, you will arive in the present at any distance you go...... owles explained this to me
I just don't know, but I will sleep on it.
The question answers itself. "We" can not be alone, as there are more than one, axiomatically.

No proof exists, so I have to conclude there is no life as we know it in Outer Space. Is it worth arguing about? No.
Rush Limbaugh was wise when he forbade two topics on his show: Religion and UFOs.
Of course we are not alone, do you think that THIS is the best God can do?
The vastness of space, just the Milky Way alone is to much for us mortals to understand.
Look up it's size and how fast we are traveling through space, just didn't happen by chance.
If there is life out there we most likely will never know it.
Marvin the Martian would zap us with his Q-36 space modulator if he saw one episode of the VIEW.
Hope to not stir the pot but in the beginning we were the best but we allowed someone to foul us up.
Mods, zap this if it is inaproiate.
According to Google our solar system has 100,000,000,000 stars. They said each star, on average, has at least one planet orbiting it. Let's say 0.01 % of these planets have some form of life. That means 10,000,000 planets have life. Let's say 0.01 % of these planets have intelligent life. That comes out to 1,000 planets have intelligent life!!
Assuming these planets really have intelligent life, what is the possibility that on checking us out from afar they want nothing to do with us?? If they were truly intelligent why would they want to interract with us??
How would they even know we're here to "check us out"?
Hypothetical numbers aside, of all the stars and planets out there, how many do we know have life? Answer: One.
Interesting topic. So only 1 Adam & Eve🤔
Yes only 1, but could have been others before.
I was not there to verify if you know what I mean.
Lots of search for intelligent life going on since so little is able to be found on our own planet.

If they are that advanced and have been around for millions of years the capabilities they have can only be imagined.. they would know all the shortcuts..and what is on the other side of a black hole...?? Has that been figured out yet..???
Didn't one group of astronauts refer to seeing "them" sitting on the rim. " They are watching us."
It is always curious to me that when folks talk about “aliens,” they always assume them to be more advanced, intelligent etc. Why is that? Could be a bunch of dang idiots……. IF they existed.
Very well could be cave men type folks.
Some say we started out that way.
Do NOT go down that evolution vs creation worm hole, gents. Sure way to get thread lock.
No I don't believe all the theories
But spend a evening or ten lol
Watching a lot of the shows trying to figure out even just our ancestors or possible life in the universe
Truly interesting and some even make good points on their theories wiith their evenndince supporting them
Seems we as a people will always have way more questions and guesing than answeres we just have to accept so much is beyond our capacity to understand
Easy to see how so many early people well even us are so overwhelmed
Even the tiny bits we have learned are just bread crumbs in the scope of things
If time travel was possible I would enjoy going back to witnesses so much that has been lost
Going forward would or could be truly scary of what will be come of us
Lol. remember the first planet of the apes movie and they find half the statue of liberty on the closing scene
Probably plenty of dumb ones out there that just can't get here to tell us about themselves.

I think that UFO aliens have visited earth. The Roswell crash is a good example. However I never have seen a UFO.
Former forum member zipperzap had a detailed story, he and a buddy were camping out in the desert, and late at night they saw a UFO land on the ridge about a quarter mile away. It set there for fifteen minutes, and then it flew away.
Allen, the Roswell "crash" is the biggest bag of hokum ever perpetrated. It all started with a smartaleck Public Affairs officer making a joke comment to a reporter about what was clearly a mere weather balloon. Everything after that has been fabricated out of wild imagination.
Here's the bottom line: We may not be alone, but we will forever remain lonely.
That’s exactly what I would expect the NASA comms guy to say! 😀
Because it's the truth.
It might be a stretch to say this planet harbors intelligent live when you look at some of the stuff we have done to each other over the past few thousand years.
Yeah but what if they land and say "Take Us To Your Leader"... What do we do then..???
I guess we give them a link to the WEF and Klaus Schwab.
