Does Anyone Believe In extra-terrestrial Life ??

1.) The chances are about 100%, plus-minus 0%. Primitive forms of life (i.e. cells) have been discovered on Mars and on some asteroids, the question is, whether there is intelligent extra-terrestrial life. And I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be, given the infinite size of the universe and the laws of probability. \n\n2.) No, I don't believe in mermaids. Leprechauns, now that's another story...

This is a question still under hot debate. Some people believe that there is no way that we can be the only intelligent life in the universe while others (as those who believe that aliens were brought to Area 51) believe that we have already been contacted by aliens on various occassions. Still others hold to the belief that we are the only planet to have either life or intelligent life.\n\nPersonally, I hold to the first belief that, with ALL of the planets in the universe, the odds of statistics are drastically against us being the only form of intelligent life. I believe that we have been checked up on from time to time by space-faring races. Basically, I feel that we have to reach a particular milestone - either in our evolution or in our technology - before we are contacted on a grand scale.\n\nDo I believe the stories about Area 51? I wouldn't put it past the government to try to cover something up if they messed up so badly as to have killed our first ambassadors from the stars, however, I also can't imagine that no one else of that race, were it to have happened, wouldn't have come looking for their lost patrol at some point in time.\n\nI don't believe us to be alone in this vast universe but I do believe that, technology-wise, we are still toddlers & must learn & grow more before we will be allowed to enter the same playground as the other intelligent beings of the universe.

I wouldnt say there isnt any life outsdide our solar system. there can be a very high possibility that there is inteligent life out there.

Great philosophical question.  I believe there are other living things somewhere in space.  Even if you believe we are a random happening, there are so many millions of planets out there that there would have to be a second occurrence like what happened to us.  And if there is a god, then I am sure other civilizations were created as well.  So either way, there is a good chance there are other life's somewhere in space.

Have no doubt of the exisitence of UFO's or the Beings that pilot them, There are several sightings a day Worldwide but never get Media Exposure unless its blatently obvious, due to the Governments'belief that it would cause Panic and Chaos on the streets. The simple fact is , if that the Idea or notion should make you wonder,than trust and believe that your not the only one who does.How can the possibility of extra-terrestial life NOT exist? The 'Rozwell Incident' was no hoax!! and was promptly swept under the carpet by Government whitewashing techniques.The consesus of people who kept investigating Rozwell, echo words of a 'Trade Off' with the Beings who survived the crash,..There Technology for their ability to continue with whatever they were here for in the first place.It would seem ignorant,for lack of a better word,and closed minded to assume that there is NO other Life forms in the entire expanse of our known Galaxy or for that fact our Universe.Ive taken a keen interest in the existence of Intelligent Life forms after the eye witness account of one of the Space Shuttle Astronauts(and crew) while attached to a teather in open Space.There are 2 sources that might interest you, if you  wish to further investigate;~~~~~~~1) The Bob Lazar Story... \nIn 1989, Robert Lazar came forward with an incredible story : He had been recruited by the US government to work at the top secret Groom Lake/Area 51 research base better known as "Dreamland" (actually at the S4 site, Papoose Lake which is a few miles to the south of Groom Lake) to reverse engineer alien spacecraft! Here are a few things he learned. \nThe disc's reactor uses a fuel which does not occur naturally on Earth. This fuel is a super-heavy, stable, element with an atomic number of 115 and does not appear on our periodic chart. Element 115 has a twofold purpose : First, it is the source of a gravity wave that is unknown to Earth's scientists, the "Gravity A" wave. Second, it is the source of the anti-matter radiation which is reacted to provide power.\nThe Gravity A wave eminates from the nucleus of Element 115 and actually extends past the perimeter of the atom. The propulsion system of the disc amplifies and focuses this Gravity A wave to cause space/time to bend, much like space/time bends in the intense gravitational field of a black hole. The ability to direct gravity to cause space/time distortions allows the disc to cross vast expanses of space/time without travelling in a linear mode at a high rate of speed. \nInside the reactor, the Element 115 is transmuted to Element 116 which is unstable and immediately decays releasing antimatter. The antimatter is reacted with gaseous matter which causes a total annihilation reaction, the 100 percent conversion of matter to energy. The heat from this reaction is converted to electrial energy by a solid state, near 100 percent efficient thermoelectric generator. It is this energy that is used to amplify the Gravity A wave. \nThis mode of travel is one of the two methods of propulsion used by the disc. In this mode, the disc's gravity amplifiers  are in the "delta configuration" and are pulsed sequentially in a rotational pattern. This amplified Gravity A wave is so powerful that the only natural occurring source of gravity that could cause space/time to distort this much would be a black hole! \nThe other mode of travel is the "omicron configuration" and is used for short range travel near a source of gravity such as a planet or star. When a disc travels near another source of gravity, like Earth, the Gravity A wave, which propagates outward from the disc, is phase shifted into the Gravity B wave, which propagates outward from the Earth, and this creates lift. The gravity amplifiers of the disc can be focused independently and they are pulsed and do not stay on continuously.  \nAlien UFO propulsion systems according to Bob Lazar...2) this is a websi

Pessimists. Hahaha. No one knows. If you even believe in aliens then the chance could be anywhere from 1-100%. I sure hope it happens in my lifetime.

There is, sadly, no evidence of aliens.  I'd love to encounter visitors from another planet (of the peaceful variety, at least, I'm not looking forward to a real-life game of Space Invaders!), but there don't seem to be any.  Maybe we all smell funny.\n\nThe evidence against the so-called alien encounter stories is pretty telling.  Look up "spleep paralysis" for an explanation that covers the "alien abductions".\n\nBut, while I don't beleive earth is being visited, that doesn't mean I believe it isn't happening, just that the people who say they are meeting aliens seem to be wrong.  If aliens are here, they're being very quiet, observing us like biologists behind blinds.\n\nLife seems pretty easy to develop in the right circumstances.  I expect the universe will be full of life, though most of it will be of the bacterial level of complexity, getting no further.  I would be surprised if there weren't other intelligences out there somewhere, though.  It just doesn't seem that difficult to evolve.  Still, I don't know and I won't pretend I do.  Here's hoping!\n\nAs my father says, either there's life out there or there isn't.  Either way, it's amazing.

Although there is no concrete proof that aliens exist, it is statistically a virtual certainty that they do exist. Just think, our galaxy contains somewhere in the region of 100,000,000,000 (100 billion) stars, any one of which could have a planet or system of planets orbiting them. And ours is a medium sized galaxy, which is only one of countless billions of other galaxies in the Universe. So even considering the extremely slim possibility that *just* the right conditions for life might exist on a planet, there is still a huge number of planets cabable of sustaining life. Do they actually contain life? We might never know that one.\n\nHave aliens actually visited our planet? I'd say probably not. Although there is a mass of evidence to the contrary most of this is explained away by perfectly terrestrial means. Add to this the fact that without some extremely advanced technology (and an equally advanced understanding of the laws of physics), visiting our planet would be next to impossible. Light - which nothing can actually travel faster than, at least according to our knowledge of the Universe - takes over FOUR YEARS to travel to us. To travel from the other side of the galaxy would take thousands of years, and from the very edge of the known Universe it light takes FIFTEEN BILLION YEARS to reach us. Unless any alien life has the ability to travel at the equivalent of superluminal speeds, or has found an alternate way of travel, or just has a lot of patience, we are unlikely to ever be visited by extra-terrestrials.

Well, certainly an interesting theory. I cannot deny that we are aliens..but it is highly unlikely. Perhaps at the most ..in my opinion, we have alien DNA in us. \nI have never met an alien yet, and truly I really don't want to. But it is hard to deny the existence of intelligent beings. They seem to have been with us since recorded history of mankind began. Maybe they even helped us evolve (that's where DNA comes into play with my theory). I mean their UFOs have been spotted and recorded in drawings on cave walls, paintings, carvings on canvas, and then recorded on film and digital recordings.  \nI never believed..never really gave it much thought. That was until I had seen so much, many objects and crafts I could not deny it any longer. \nAre we alien? Perhaps we are like an ant farm or a little petri dish with a culture or organism in it and they are the scientists trying to be careful not to contaminate the experiment (thus the attempts to erase the memories of supposed abdutees withhout permanent brain damage). \nI don't think there are many on this planet that actually do know the truth..but I do think there are some here who do. We are VERY young. We have not been here very long, and we cannot understand the universe with our primitive minds..The way we think with Human brain prevents us. Certainly there are more people aware of UFOs then ever before and also more sightings than we have ever known. The frequency of sightings is increasing..\nLast year was a record for myself with four objects sighted in three months, while I was at a my fairly secluded lake. These crafts are not ours. They have instant speed..speed that you cannot believe, even as you witness it. Speed that we cannot achieve on Earth. \nPerhaps the time will come soon, when we all will learn of their true existence and ours. Maybe then, we might begin learn to understand what the universe has in store for us. If we can survive..as Humans to become a true intlligent species.\n\n Alien = intelligence,  Does Human = intelligent? (NO)

I do believe in aliens.  I've seen Tom Cruises' child.

No scientific proof for Santa Claus (except for NORAD, maybe), contested or otherwise. A large body of contested data proving aliens' and God's existence, and some evidence claiming that God is an alien!\n\n"Believing" there must be a planet out there that can support alien life is not evidence, folks. It's blind faith. Not saying there isn't one, just that no one can say there is yet. And you people pick on religious believers for not having any proof...

Rofl! That was going to be my answer.\n\nI think more than anything else, this is more a question of personal belief. It's like one of those "Is there a God" type questions, since even if somebody does know they answer they are not going to divulge it.\n\nTaking my own advice about the whole "personal belief" thing, I can honestly say that I think the government is more corupt than we could ever fathom, and they have gone from a government of the people to a government out to get people.\n\nI do also believe that sinister extra-terrestrials may play a large role in the corruption of our government... but that's me. The aliens are very much real, you know. And they are already here, and in about four or five years we will be hearing all about them.\n\nIlluminati? For all anybody knows they are real and they do have an influence among government officials.

Hi. I do not think so. It may be possible that life forms unimagined may exist (I'd be surprised if they didn't) but they would still need to be based on something other than vacuum.

Thats a good question. I wonder whether all those "supernatural" things are real eg. Ghosts, Big Foot, etc. I do beleive in ghosts but I ponder over some of those mysterious happenings. I wonder whether the Loch Ness Monster is real, or I wonder who mkes crop circles-Humans, or an Alien Life form? I wonder whether there is another form of life on another planet. There are so many unsolved, amazing questions on this earth I cannot imagine anyone having nothing to think about. Even this question made me wonder alot.........

Yes, I fully believe there is life on other planets.  What it took to create life on Earth was not favored to happen.  The odds that Earth would hold any life at all are too small to comprehend.  But we do not know how large the universe is.  We do know that there are trillions of planets, trillions of galaxies, trillions of stars.  The odds that there is not a speck of life on any of those planets is also extremely small.\n\nI must admit that I have seen a UFO, which occurred last year.  I was driving my friends home from a party and I happen to look in the sky to see a bright white diamond-shaped object.  There were four individual diamond lights that made up the overall shape.  I was astounded, and I knew it was not anything that the United States had admitted to having.  I could name every military jet, helicopter, blimp, and passanger aircraft that I see, but I could not for the life of me figure out what it was.  I immediately turned around and drove to follow it.  Within five-ten seconds, the craft had flown so fast that the lights had disappeared (I watched it the entire time).  I'm not saying it was extra-terrestrial, but it was a UFO.  I live in Cleveland, by the way.

Yes Ghost do exist, I have had personal experience with ghost in the past and they are very real. As for UFOs oh yes they exist, for someone to think that we are the only life forms in the universe they are crazy. How can there be all those stars and planets and not be another form of life out there. And to think how long we have been around on earth. I am sure there are life forms out there that are far advanced compared to us and I am sure they have been here before, even though the Government doesn't want you to know it.

Yes (personal judgment)\n\nwith the size of the universe as it is, it would be ignorant and elf-centered to say no. Especially since the sun is a mediocre star and the earth is a mediocre planet even in our system... Now, practically...\n\n-- Astronomers found planets by other stars, but not the size of Earth (too small for what we can detect now)\n-- the next star over is about 5 light years away? (not sure) so even if we travel at 99.999...% of light speed (as we are not massless) it would take ten years and trillions of trillions of dollars/Euro/tugrics, whatever you like. That is even if that star can support life.\n-- no reason to assume that there is multicellular life anywhere close, and if there is no reason to assume they are more advanced.\n-- Popular Science actually had an article last month on a non-DNA based "unicellular" primitive life that could have entered Earth on a small meteor. This is an idea scientists have been toying around with for a while. From my highchair it is possible, but I really don't know enough to say how probabble, afterall the space is mighty cold and the entery of our atmosphere mighty hot. Some say new viruses (which are not alive as virus is not a living entety) enter Earth in that way... that is doubtful since the DNA can't stand more than 50 degrees and the virus shell denatures at 42 (all in Celsius)\n\nI think there is life elsewhere but we will never see it... \n\nIf you have any more info or comments or just want to chat on this subject email me, I like interesting conversations.
