Lets talk extra-terrestrials

Interesting and I've read about that but it's not solid evidence of anything. Pure silver is the best conductive metal that we know of. Gold plated contacts are only used in very low voltage applications (1 or a few volts for example). The distribution of gold versus silver on this planet, well they are both widely distributed. Why would they mine all of the gold when pure silver is a much better conductor for anything using any significant power? What reasoning do you have (or is argued by anyone) that they would mine the gold and leave, when silver, and even copper, have better conductive properties? Simply because of rarity on other planetary bodies? Because there sure is a lot of gold on this planet as well as silver, and to find them requires different processes as well. Additionally, gold when used with any higher power (electrical charges) will arc and dissipate, making it vulnerable to tarnish while silver retains its internal conductive properties.

Since we don't have any data on biological life constraints of ET intelligent life, an animal that lives for a few hundred years on earth doesn't mean much. I was referring mainly to our own human restraints and life as we know it, which of course is all we can do, but we are speculating after all.

But of course, with advancements in genetics and technology to lengthen lives, who knows what our peak might ultimately be. It's simply not possible to know anything about ET intelligent life times, but that would be a main factor, as well as their ability to travel vast distances, playing the biggest part in how reasonable it would be to make the trip. As interesting as the Anunnaki are, we really don't know they lived for a thousand + years, but what we have deciphered from artifacts is one of the most fascinating things ever to me.

I'm pretty sure there is plenty of other planets and moons that harbor life. The math and odds favor that. I'm not sure I buy into the ufo and grey aliens stories I hear. But I also can't fully say that it is impossible that shit like that can happen or has happened. But until I see hard evidence that they exist I won't say either way. But to me the science so far points to very high likelihood that there is a shit ton of life out there. At the distances we are talking, timing is everything. we may simply be to late in time or to early, to communicate with intelligent life else where.

The key word here is 'Intelligent'. Theres bound to be LIFE on other planets in the universe, it's essentially a 100% certainty. Intelligent life, however, may be exceptionally rare. Space faring intelligent life even more so. The universe is a giant shooting gallery what with asteroids, comets, solar flares, radiation bursts, and countless other things that can wipe out life in the blink of an eye.

There is also the simple fact that just because a species is intelligent, and can traverse long distances through space doesnt mean they will. Humanity could survive for millions of years just on the resources we have in our own solar system if we wanted to, so the need to go outside isnt really there.

Now, this doesnt mean that there hasn't been alien life that has come here at some point. It's entirely possible, but frankly its remarkably unlikely that it's actually happened. Or will ever happen, really.

I absolutely believe there is life out there, how could there not be, the galaxy is just too vast. But the idea that an alien civilization could make contact with us is a bit far fetched as the technology to travel whole galaxies is almost an unbelievable concept.

that's the point I was trying to get across. I'm sleep deprived and at work, so I could have articulated that better. I'm pretty much of the opinion that most of the ufo stories are lies, mis ID, ect. But to say it's impossible I can't bring myself to say that 100%. But I agree with the rest of your post, it's pretty much a given at this point Earth isn't the only celestial body that host life. I'm sure there is life else where in this solar system. Of course I'm speaking of microbial life. It's the moons of the gas giants that have the best chances of harboring life. And we are just now getting enough data to justify missions to look for life or past evidence of life. It's definitely an exciting time in space exploration!

I’ve been Obsessed with aliens and ufos since being a child

But I’m here in 2019, and since every person on this planet carries a HD camera in their pockets or hands 24/7
I’m at the point where I don’t believe anymore because something would have been captured by now

This is a common argument but have you ever tried to take a picture of something high up in the sky, especially at night?

The photo will always come out shit. Even something as big as the moon. Phone cameras just dont have the lenses for that.

And when a picture or video comes out that is really clear, people rush to say its fake before even proving it.

Yeah man I feel ya, there was a friend of a friend who I know that absolutely stone wall had an experience and won’t talk about it and changed her for the worse

I pray something would happen to me so I can no longer be a skeptic, be it ghosts or aliens but until it does..

I often try to telepathically contact aliens asking them to abduct me for like an hour and promise I wont tell. I just want to know. They havent listened yet though...


What really sucks for me is when I was a kid I had an experience/sighting. Only one of my life. At the time, I was 1000% sure I was seeing a UFO and even ran inside and woke up my dad in the middle of the night to show him. I dragged him out in the front yard and we both watched it go over our house, INSANELY slowly. It was a huge black rectangle, only like 100ish feet above the treeline(so ultra, ultra, ultra low for that size craft). It was moving so slowly that from the moment I saw it behind my house, I had time to run inside, wake up my dad, convince him to put on his shoes, and walk out to the front yard, and it was still directly over our house...

What sucks is it was so long ago that I cant help but doubt my own memory. if it happened today I would have obviously filmed it. but this was like, 14 years ago. Even though I know how real and undeniable it was at the time, I cant help but doubt myself because it is so extreme...and hard to believe even as someone that desperately wants to believe in aliens.


What I know for sure, absolute fact: something went over my house in the middle of the night. whatever it was moved REALLY slowly. whatever it was was almost completely silent. whatever it was, my dad saw too so I wasn't simply dreaming or hallucinating. and it was really, really low to the ground which a plane would not be in that area.

That’s an awesome story and memory, I’m glad your so passionate about it because that’s what I want, just anything to get behind.

If you go down the rabbit hole of YouTube and alien stuff Buzzfeed unsolved did a very well put together piece on the Roswell incident that even the skeptic host concedes and accepts there was some fuckery involved, I will find the link if you are interested

 

[dc007]

They could at least show some taste and start abducting alpha sherbros then.

Where do you think those posters that don't get banned but suddenly stop posting are?

Exactly man. I think the vast majority of sighting have an explanation such as military. But where did the military get that kind of tech?



That sighting is probably the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me. When I brought my dad out he looked up and was kind of stunned. He was a very no nonsense kind of guy so his initial response was "it's probably just some kind of plane" and I said yea, what kind of plane do you know that looks like THAT and flies that low silently?

He looked at me, back at the craft, back at me and just shrugged and put his hands in his pockets, absolutely bewildered. And we just stood there and watched it crawl away over the course of a few minutes.

If I had a time machine I could only use once I would probably use it to go back to this night with the best camera equipment I could bring

 

[mmaelitefan000]

the possibilities are endless when it comes to ufo and alien discussion. we do know that the universe is fucking huge and we've only been to the moon. a life form from a planet light years away ,thousands of years ahead of us in technology,wisdom, and knowledge of science most likely won't land on earth and say greetings earthlings. to them we're primitive and weird as fuck. the same way we can't communicate with a frog, they can't communicate with us. if they have the technology to come here, they probably have other shit too, like invisibility, holograms, teleportation and other shit we can't even fathom. i think they've been here and when i say they i mean there could be more than one alien race that have visited us. if they wanted to kill us they would've done so already. scientists don't go to the amazon and needlessly murder all the animals. they just study them. the amazon frog if it could speak, would tell its buddies that something weird happened to it the other day, being abducted , violated and released by these weird looking gigantic beings.

 

[mmaelitefan000]

a raccoon is fucking smart but is nothing when compared to a human. could we ever teach a raccoon algebra? hell no. could a life form way more advanced and extremely foreign teach us their "algebra"? nope.

 

[Spookv]

We are the Aliens, we are all descendants from Martians from Mars.

A weird hippy guy once told white people are aliens and people of color are true inhabitors of Earth.

 

[plataoplombo]

There's gotta be life out there. As big as space is, no way we are the ONLY ones. Can't find the Wikipedia link, but it talks about how all these old civilizations here on earth that have never came in contact with each other have some kind of drawings of spaceships or how they try to extend their necks and shape their heads to make themselves look like aliens.

 

[MetalGearTrump]

This is my theory, and call me crazy if youd like... I dont believe in Aliens, I believe in Demons. I think that satanic spirits have revealed themselves to certain people on Earth, but they pose as "Aliens" . They lie and say they're from wherever, they do provide knowledge to the government of advanced technology and the like also. Obviously at a price. Satanic worship and such.

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJr]

Do I believe in Aliens? Yes.
Do I believe they have visited earth? Yes.
Do I think they are observing us? Yes.

Why don't they make themselves known? Many possible reasons.

I would assume at this point in time, our weaponry has become advanced to the point where we could possibly be a threat to them. They may not feel it's safe to fly over regularly, and they likely don't have much reason to, given they could likely develop some very good equipment to watch us from space. They may also have rules in place forbidding contact with us for reasons we don't know.

 

[Dinotective]

My money's on Divine Hiddenness

 

[franklinstower]

My current stance on the topic is this - either aliens are here (perhaps multiple species) and have been for quite some time, or human factions exist here on Terra that have access to technology that is way more advanced than anything the general public even believes possible (I'm talking anti-gravity craft level tech BTW, not primitive propulsion stealth craft).

As far as I'm concerned, you can choose between those options, but you must choose one.

I think these are the only two options also. The problem is how could a totally separate strain of tech have been developed in secret. That seems almost impossible to me.
