Do you believe?

Also, not only do they believe that these advanced civilizations exist, but for some reason those civilizations are interested in what WE are doing?!? We haven't even successfully escaped our own solar system. What interest would they have in us?

Given that one of the drivers for going 'out there' in the first place is to see if there is anyone else there, I would imagine that anything out there would have at least a passing interest in our planet, if only to study 'primitive' lifeforms...

Given how fast technology adavances, it could be that some of these 'advanced' civilizations could be only a few generations of where we are now - who knows what breakthroughs will come in the next 100 years - certainly the world of today is very different from 1910. Even 1960 was significantly different...

Lets just pray they have advanced red laser technology....

Do you know what, I actually slept badly last night because of red lasers! I'm on the verge of spending a chunk on a Kvant (or similar) and my subconcious is obviously worried that some like the 445 thing will happen shortly afterwards.... certainly I could think/worry about nothing else.... *yawn*

I am almost of the opinion it might be cheaper to stand in a hole tearing up $50 notes!

You and me think a lot alike. I believe they may be looking at us maybe the same as we might look at an ant hill, but none the less I think we are visited from time to time. Or maybe they just stop by for a Starbucks and a Cinnabon.

In 50 years i have a 500watt laser projector with buildin lipo-nuclear battery wich gives about 600hours a charge. Dimensions are big because i have to watch my budget. It will be a massive 7x9x0.5cm
But on the up side it can pop baloons.

About intelligent life outside of the planet earth: no i do not believe.

I never said that there wasn't "other life" in the universe. I said that these lights in the sky are not it.

LOL sorry... that wasn't a rebuttal, my post just happened to be next in line.

interesting... I am not going to declare that there is nor isn't other life in the universe. Our ability to detect and/or reach out across the billions of miles is limited. Look at how far we have come in the last 20 years alone...

I'd venture to say that some of the scenes in the video shown are hoax-ish (hoaxly?), but others are strange enough to inspire the phrase "you can't make up stuff like that.

most of you guys here could project some similar stuff into the sky.. but could you do it so cleanly? so high up? so large? with no visible beams of light from the ground? and the smoke/tails on some of those clips - is that even possible to fake? (that's an actual Q: not a rhetorical Q

As to why they'd wanna visit us... People go to Cleveland too.

Maybe we are Jurassic Park to them... Mebbe there is something still in us that they have lost thru centuries of evolution/genetic mods, and they want to check it out. Or we have some materials they need, and are just waiting for us to self-destruct so they can come and take it.

A friend of mine thinks they are coming to re-charge their ships. they come and hang out in-between lines of magnetic flux, moving around to create changing differences - which can generate energy.

Unless they come down and bake us a cake (or bake us INTO a cake) most people will not believe that aliens exist. But even in the most conservative calculations of the Drake Equation, there are 100's of life supporting planets.

Just because we can't reach them, or see them as clear as day, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Maybe they're InfraRed...

I'm not sure that I agree with the premise that people/things would only be interested if they were looking for something specific. We as humans go and look at stuff, because it is the unknown. And along the way we discover all sorts of things, cures for disease, medicine, etc. We look because it IS the unknown, and MAY lead to new discoveries, but unless you look to begin with, you will never stand a chance of finding anything...

Also, we explore space because we want to look. just the quest for information that may lead to other things... I'm not sor sure there are always clear cut agendas at play, such as harvesting, world domination, etc as people like to predict.
