Astronaut Witnesses UFO In Space!


I'm only saying that show me an intelligent alien to make me believe in one.

Finding Earth-like planets isn't proof of alien life mate. While Life itself outside Earth hasn't been confirmed yet, it would be a folly to assume there are plenty of places in the universe which harbour intelligent life without any concrete evidence.

Its Common Sense , IF intelligent life can exist on Earth , so can it exist everywhere else.... especially when there are so many Earth like planets...

I would expect them to be, but I'm still not aware of them having made any contact with us. Surely at least one of them would have the technology to travel the distance and say "Hi"
How do you know they haven't visited Earth? They don't need to announce their arrival here nor do they need permission to do so from lowly earthlings. It's like coming to an ant-hill. Do you ask the ants permission to look?

Common sense is what demands proof over inference in such cases. It's like saying since dogs have a brain and humans have a brain, dogs are also capable of building an aeroplane.

Brilliant analogy. :tup: Is there any primitive form of life presently in Mars? Anything? :unsure:

True, as was the serengeti idea.

Perhaps our IQs on the inter-stellar scale may seem like ants or monkeys compared to them, but are we really monkeys that we wouldn't be able to notice their arrival and make absolutely no sense of it?

None found so far. Although traces of liquid water flowing before on the surface are abundantly clear, no evidence of life forms have been recovered. And it doesn't help that microbes(assuming microbial life had once flourished there) make for very poor fossils.

Microbes have been known to exist in extremely harsh conditions. They've served to raise hopes that perhaps some planet has microbes that evolved into sentient beings and possibly even highly-intelligent life-forms.

Nope! We probably haven't even noticed. They could be amongst us right now and we'd never even know!

Have you heard of the Kardashev scale that is used to measure a civilization's level of technological advancement? The scale has three designated categories called Type I, II, and III.

We aren't even 0.5 on this scale. Us trying to get a hang of the technology of a Type II civilization would be like a fish trying to understand nuclear fusion or quantum entanglement! Impossible, in our present state of evolution. Perhaps in a million years...and that's a long, long way off!

And there are probably even Type IV civilizations, so advanced that they could be partying around multiverses like a walk in the park!

Kardashev scale is theoretical. Theoretically, we could also have a scale where simply existing is Type 1 and harnessing the power of lithium-ion batteries is Type 4. That would put us somewhere between 6 and 9 for nuclear energy and bio-fuel.

We may not be as developed as the scale suggests, but I'm prety confident that we aren't dumb enough not to recognize alien presence or communication even if we don't understand it. If there was any, I'd expect Seti to make the headlines.

Again, let me give you a fine example. When you're watching TV, you switch channels from one to the other, while you're watching one channel, doesn't mean nothing is happening on the other channel. Similarly, SETI scans only a particular very minuscule area of the space at one time. And the signals are heavily attenuated by the atmosphere, and is so weak that it'so weak that it's tough to isolate it from interstellar and cosmic noise. So i don't have much hopes pinned on SETI.

Considering another fact, the first radio broadcast strong enough to be detected by any alien race is during the Berlin Olympics in 1936. That means, our signature of being a technological advanced monkeys can be detected by any advanced civilization within a radius of only 77 light years, compare that to the observable universe of 90 billion light years.

Microbes have been known to exist in extremely harsh conditions. They've served to raise hopes that perhaps some planet has microbes that evolved into sentient beings and possibly even highly-intelligent life-forms.

Harsh environment isn't conducive for the development of sentient beings, if they're not already developed. A developed being can adapt to the harsh environment, but a simpler or unicellular organism will reduce the system complexity to make maximum use of the available resources.Hence will never became a complex organism.
