    We'll have the Space Force. That should be enough.

    Seems like old news. I'm pretty sure everyone in DC is an alien or space cadet of some sort.

    I think it’s possible.

    You totally know aliens would be picking up people and beaming them back down on the other side of the wall.

    Thatd be some of the funniest shit id ever see.

    Reminds me of creationists. There is something for which science does not yet have an explanation (fact). Therefore the bible is literally true (nonsense).

    There are no aliens and there is no life outside of Earth.
    I've done cursory calculations that show the probability of life anywhere else in the Universe as being effectively zero unless you think live can spring up from scouring radiation such as gamma rays.
    You've gotta have an iron core.
    You've gotta be in the goldilocks zone.
    You've gotta have been struck at just the right angle by just the right sized body.
    You've gotta be at least 4 Billion years old.
    You've gotta be circling just the right sized star.
    You've gotta have life initiated on your planet.
    You really need water.
    You need to start with a life form that can give you oxygen.
    It helps if you have a moon that's just the right size and just the right distance away.
    Your star needs to be a third or fourth generation star.
    You need a larger planet nearby such as Jupiter to vacuum up any wandering asteroids that might hit your planet and wipe out life.
    There are others that I can't recall since I did my calculations a couple decades ago.

    There is no known calculation that can realistically predict the chance of life not on earth. My opinion is that we are almost certainly not alone. We have already discovered several planets that have the right make-up to support life. And this is from sampling just a small portion of the universe. Aliens have probably not been to earth yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have. The sightings of UFO's definitely make me wonder.

    There are more solar systems in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches on earth.

    You don’t think one single planet in one of those solar systems could check all ten of your boxes?

    I think you may need a refresher course on the Theory of Probability.

    Those planets do not have all the requirements for life. They only have an infinitesimally small fragment of the requirements.
    I once sighted what I and a friend just knew for certain was an alien spacecraft coming in for a landing. And then the clouds slowly disappeared and we saw a full moon that previously we thought was getting larger and larger because we assumed it was getting closer and closer.
    Many false appearances have been balloons.
    I even knew of some guys on a ship that floated lights attached to balloons at night to fool other ships into thinking some sort of UFO was there.
    Test flights of aircraft under development have fooled people.
    Ignorant people have the wildest fantasies.
    There is zero evidence of UFOs or aliens. ZERO
    Now, just look at the requirements that I laid out and ask me about any of them.
    The iron core is needed along with a spinning planet to set up a magnetic field to ward off scouring solar radiation and will offer zero protection from scouring gamma rays even rays broadcast from Billions of light years away.
    You'll also need a hot center such that volcanic activity will be present. We've had volcanic activity that has wiped out most of Earth's life in the past not to mention asteroids that have missed being sucked in by Jupiter and hit us destroying most of life on multiple occasions.
    No, the probability is effectively zero.
    Do the calculations yourself.

    You cannot do an accurate calculation. There are too many variables. Check out the link below on the Drake Equation.

    They just leave us alone because “They thought there were signs of intelligence here”

    Logical conclusion seeing as how the White House was likely the sample size. :smiley-smiley-049:
