how much do you know about UFO and life on other planets.?

I've been studying these issues alot more in the past year or two, and I find them incredibly compelling. \n\nWhen you look at the massive size of the universe, to assume that we are alone is, if only mathematically, ignorant to some degree. \n\nThe more I study history and astronomy, the more I think these two topics are combined. \n\nI may sound like some wackjob, but, I think that there is life elsewhere, that they have traveled here, and perhaps have had a hand in certain events in history. \n\nI don't believe in coincidences, and there are entirely too many questions in our past without answers that can be provided which point towards humans. \n\nWho knows - maybe I am a wackjob, but in the big picture, you can never question everything enough. \n\nIts a big, big universe. We all get wrapped up in our tiny lives, in our tiny houses, in our tiny countries, and forget about the stars, the galaxies that are out there. \n\nSome day I believe we'll find the truth, unfortunately I believe that this 'someday' will be thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years in the future.

one is the frictionless ship. being entirely frictionless is physically impossible, at least on earth. another would be the improbability drive. you cannot travel thru space on pure improbability. another scientific problen is the fact that almost every planet is inhabited by an alien species, and that most are humanoids. a formula developed by a scientist named frank drake. it is an equation for the probability of alien civilizations in this galaxy with intelligences like or above ours. N = N* fp ne fl fi fc fL. each variable is explained thus:The equation can really be looked at as a number of questions:\n\nN* represents the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy \nQuestion: How many stars are in the Milky Way Galaxy? \nAnswer: Current estimates are 100 billion. \nfp is the fraction of stars that have planets around them \nQuestion: What percentage of stars have planetary systems? \nAnswer: Current estimates range from 20% to 50%. \nne is the number of planets per star that are capable of sustaining life \nQuestion: For each star that does have a planetary system, how many planets are capable of sustaining life? \nAnswer: Current estimates range from 1 to 5. \nfl is the fraction of planets in ne where life evolves \nQuestion: On what percentage of the planets that are capable of sustaining life does life actually evolve? \nAnswer: Current estimates range from 100% (where life can evolve it will) down to close to 0%. \nfi is the fraction of fl where intelligent life evolves \nQuestion: On the planets where life does evolve, what percentage evolves intelligent life? \nAnswer: Estimates range from 100% (intelligence is such a survival advantage that it will certainly evolve) down to near 0%. \nfc is the fraction of fi that communicate \nQuestion: What percentage of intelligent races have the means and the desire to communicate? \nAnswer: 10% to 20% \nfL is fraction of the planet's life during which the communicating civilizations live \nQuestion: For each civilization that does communicate, for what fraction of the planet's life does the civilization survive? \nAnswer: This is the toughest of the questions. If we take Earth as an example, the expected lifetime of our Sun and the Earth is roughly 10 billion years. So far we've been communicating with radio waves for less than 100 years. How long will our civilization survive? Will we destroy ourselves in a few years like some predict or will we overcome our problems and survive for millennia? If we were destroyed tomorrow the answer to this question would be 1/100,000,000th. If we survive for 10,000 years the answer will be 1/1,000,000th. \nWhen all of these variables are multiplied together when come up with: \nN, the number of communicating civilizations in the galaxy. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nThe real value of the Drake Equation is not in the answer itself, but the questions that are prompted when attempting to come up with an answer. Obviously there is a tremendous amount of guess work involved when filling in the variables. As we learn more from astronomy, biology, and other sciences, we'll be able to better estimate the answers to the above questions. Many of these questions will be addressed in depth in future issues of Enigma.

many astronauts have reported seeing UFO's.  The Edge of Reality by J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee, (Regenery: Chicago, 1975)  might be a worthwhile place to begin a search on the details.

Fact 1 - UFOs have been recorded through the history of mankind, paintings on cave walls..drawings..carvings.. paintings on canvas, they have been photographed, recorded on video and digitally captured. \nFact 2 - Ther are thousands and thousands of wittnesses to these crafts that have increadible speed and can manouver in a way we could only hope to achive.\n\nFact 3 - There are governments that are comming clean and revealing the once classified information on UFOs. (Russia, Mexico, Brazil..hopefully Canada soon) Why would they be classified if they were not real?\n\nFact 4 - There are many documented cases involving commercial airliners and military aircraft as well, that have had encounters and even chased these crafts on numerous occasions. \n\nFact 5 - I have been a wittness on many occasions in my lifetime so far...I have seen many different objects and crafts..They are real..I can say I know..and I would stake my life it!! that is how positiive I am.

Can I recommend you to explore http://www.seti.org/ - site for Center for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.\n\nHere you will get meaningful and scientific explanation to UFO/aliens.

I would like to say that there is intelligent life in the universe besides on Earth.  Humans have gone from believing that the Earth was at the centre of all existence and the Sun and all "heavenly bodies" revolved around it, because from our Point of View it seemed that way.  Then we discovered that no, the Earth actually goes around the Sun, and there were other planets...and other suns...and other planets around other suns!! And so on.  \n\nSo why wouldn't this 'decentralising' process extend to the existence of life?  I like to think it gives us an appreciation that life itself is a natural, universal process that, where the conditions are right, would happen throughout the universe.  "Intelligent" life is a bit curlier to argue.  If intelligent life was a natural process, why have we not had communication with aliens?  We could assume they are as curious as humans are to seek life elsewhere, and humans have been sending signals into space for decades.  I cannot answer this; even if it does exist numerous places in the universe, the vastness of space may be just too great.  \n\nThe idea of intelligent life elsewhere appeals to me as it knocks us humans off our high horse, and our presumptuous and arrogant viewpoint that we are privileged with our intelligence (and yes, humans are intelligent, although one wonders sometimes).

That all depends on what you are willing to believe.\n\nhttp://www.ufoarea.com/main_nasa.html\n\n\nI think you will like this link.

there hasn't been any found yet.... but... the possibility of life on other planets is very  high....  :)

There are too many other planets in the universe to say that ours is the only one with intelligent life on it! That's human arrogance to say this one planet is the only one with intelligent life. Since we haven't meet any,then their aren't any! Is what most people believe,but I think their is! Everyday we are finding new forms of life right here on our own earth that we didn't now was here,til we found it. Space is so vast, the universe is endless and other species from other worlds probably face the same challenges that we do in space exploration. They haven't discovered how to travel through space and such great distants just as we haven't. Or have they? Remember The Thing! Who knows what could be frozen under the Artic and how long it's been there! Also, I believe that their are species much stronger than us, with the power to inslave us or put us on the food chain. I know this is far out,but think about it...we as humans eat every other animal on the planet cause were the strongest! Now if a stronger species than man took over the earth,who knows man could be on the menu!!!

I have never seen UFOs or aliens, but I think it was a sufi man who observed the following...he said: If you build a 7-story building, it does not make sense to occupy the ground floor and leave the rest unoccupied. He was referring to all the zillions of stars and planets in space that God created...meaning it does not make sense thag God would create all that and have life on earth alone. Having said that, I can not say with certainty that there IS life on other planets, but I can not say with certainty that there is No life on other planets either...but I have to admit; that sufi man's remark makes sense...don't you think? :)

Its nice to see one of many brave souls questioning the possibility of extra-terrestrial INTELLIGENT life forms. If your interested, Ive just completed a answer segment to a question posed recently and is still open... Question:: 'the latest UFO sighting observed ?'...this is a quite lengthy answer with sources provided for your further investigation if you wish! I hope it stimulates the remaining 90% of our Human Brain that is still 'A sleeping Giant'(only 10% of our brain capacity is used at GENIUS level!)

Look into Ufology and see how our intelligence has been germinated every 40,000 years or so...\n\nAnd report back here in a few months.

Discovery of the 10th planet!  Recent discovery.  Not much info. yet so no one can say if you are wrong on any point!

Exactly... nobody knows if theres life on other planets and its actually quite ignorant for people to believe that we are so superior that we are the only life on the universe.\n\nLife requires certain things to occur in order if its going to happen.  I can go on about this for hours... first things first... life in its simpliest for are anything that are self replicating.  It requires a perfect solvent for biological reactions.  Water is great since the properties of water surpass all others.  this is why you here NASA is trying to search for traces of water on mars... because with water and the right conditions, anything could happen.\n\nCurrently, theres only a limited number of known planets besides the ones in our solar system...  other planets outside our solar systems are hard to detect since they do not emit light of any source so they can no be seen.  The other planets are discovered by the wobble effects of the stars (look it up).  We do not know how many planets per star nor the types of planets they are (more than likely with this method, they have to be very massive like jupiter).

It might be Seti@Home...\nIt's to look for extra terrestrials...\nhttp://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

Definitely. What are the odds that, among all the gazillions of planets and stars and galaxies, not ONE other life-form has developed? Hell, I don't even care if we can find sentiency, if there's just LIFE somewhere I'll be happy.
