So, do you believe in aliens?
 

Ive got this buddy of mine who swears that not only are there aliens, but that the gov't. is involved in a massive conspiracy to cover up their existence. He has dozens of books and videos on the subject, and typically my eyes just glaze over when he goes on one of his rants. But honestly, some of the evidence is quite compelling. Check this out:

Check out this site. Make sure you give the radio show a try. It is not what you would expect at all. The show info is on the site. The host is great. Some of the guests are a little out there. Mostly, they interview scientists, current and retired military guest of pretty respectable rank. As I said, it is not at all what you would expect.

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

I'm not sure what I believe exactly, but I do think there is some sort of life form out there... somewhere.

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

Interesting article by the way.

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

I actually have a pet alien.

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

My wife's family are aliens I think. I'm sure they are quite normal on their planet but they seem from outerspace to me sometimes.

lol

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

I believe there is/was life on other planets. But the chances of ever communicating with them is so remote. The other life forms are either so far advanced or so far behind us. I would think

Maybe there's a Opposite Universe of Aliens and we are all fricking Cowboy fans there??!?!?!?!!?!?!

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

As a friend once said to me. "In the infinity of space, either other life exists or we are alone in the universe. Either way its a pretty mind-blowing concept."

Dewd yer a non caucasean dewd named JoeCowboy in the Opposite Universe of Aliens. That's mind blowing!

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

I definitely do believe in aliens. Not neccassarly them visiting us and putting probes in our bodies but that they do exist.

First, I think we think we know more about things than we actually do. If people are still around in 10,000 years, our culture will be the primitive one. The technology boom in the past 25 years will be insignificant and will be all grouped together. I truly believe we have an extremely basic understanding of the world around us. Planes, Cars, Computers, E-mail, and most importantly the iphone, were things that were unthinkable just 150 years ago. I do think someday we will be able to communicate with other beings through ways that are unthinkable right now.

The fact is that we, like most generations before us, are living in the most significant time period to date. Soon we will be checking our own solar system for life on places like Jupiter's moon, Europa. We should know by 2019. If we do find life it will most definitely be the most important discovery we have ever made. I am not expecting little aliens to wave at the camara but i do think that bacteria could exist there. If we do find life there it will prompt a much more demanding search of intelligent life in the universe. If an insignificant, cold, dark, and dormant moon like Europa can harbor life, there is no doubt that life is not an accident. Life would be seen as a common occurance everywhere.

If by any chance the gov't does know of aliens and their comming to earth, i feel they have no right keeping that away from us. If we ever discover that we are alone in the universe or if we are not, either way it will be the most important discovery ever.

I think my girlfriend’s family came in on the same spaceship as your wife’s.

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

And why I think there is probably other forms of life out there. I don’t think there close enough or advanced enough to come to earth.

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

yeah...

Ditto.

As for the whole Roswell thing I just have one thing to say....Skunkworks.All the people who think that the gov is covering up an alien conspiracy there, are thinking just what the gov wants them to think.

Fabulous article in this weekend's Times that discusses this show as part of an expo on the Mayan calander (which many people are interpreting to say we humans are toast in 2012).

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

Is that a probe in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Man, my alien buddy TOTALLY believes that the world is ending in 2012, I mean he is already planning on cashing in his 401K and having a kick ass party in the Carribean. That's some messed up shit, but if he's buying I guess Im there. A ton of people believe that it will all end in 2012.

Isnt' that Roswell article wierd though? I mean, its not like he said this crap when he was alive, to the contrary, the letter he wrote was not to be opened until his death. I really do think something happened there.

Yeah, the problem is that the Mayan Calander just ends in 2012...it is more contemporary scholars who have interpreted that to mean the end of the world.

The article makes a great point I think when it argues that in a time in which social, economic, and religious institutions are beginning to break down, when we face more threats then ever before, apocolypse theory has a certain appeal, detailing a new path for civilization, sort of a way of cleansing a failing world order. It explains both the popularity of Mayan mysticism with liberals as well as all that rapture stuff with the southerners. Different eschatology but same appeal really.

I have read that Roswell stuff and I never understood why so many people are incredulous about it. Here's what I mean: if aliens did crash into Earth what would the government have done in response? Most would agree exactly what they are accused of doing, cover it up. So while none of us really know anything, I don't get not having an open mind relative to this specific conspiracy. In other words, if you can accept that aliens probably exist I would think you would at least be willing to entertain a government cover up scenario.

Re: So, do you believe in aliens?
 

I believe in life on other planets. I do not believe that any other planetary life form has made it to our planet with our knowledge.

Why? If you can accept the first, why is the latter such a stretch?

I'm not saying you are wrong, but what evidence are you basing your position on? Just curious.

Not sure that can be attributed to southerners specifically. That's pretty much a mainstream protestant belief. Most denominations believe in the second coming.

I would ask the question though. If millions of people did suddenly disappear from the earth, would you consider the rapture had taken place or that all those people had been abducted by aliens?

If they have the technology to get to our planet, then they should have the technology to observe us without our notice. I think higher lifeforms would generally approach us with peaceful intentions. I have no evidence, just my own sense of rationale based on my own time in the military where I was stationed at a top secret government installation.

You are right Lady Brave but end times theology has taken on a new intensity over recent years and this is concentrated to the south primarily. At least that's my understanding. Many people have described this as a new movement within Christianity, even though it's based on beliefs that pretty much all Christians accept.

In answer to your second question, I would probably come here and check the parking lot to find out what had really happened.

All I have to say is that I think it's extremely naive to believe that Earth is the only planet in the universe with intelligent life.

Hog1, you're welcome?

Seriously folks, aliens? Yeah they might exist somewhere in the universe but I highly doubt they've visited the earth.

All I have to say is I'll believe it when I see a flying saucer with my own eyes. Until then the existence of aliens is just one big rumor and something that people with wild imagination can ponder.
