There's no friction in space. Learn basic science.

Seldom do you come across areas in space within galaxies that aren't occupied by some quantity of matter. The interstellar medium still causes friction, though I'm not sure it'd be anything too severe.

You'd have significantly better luck finding what would essentially be a full-vacuum in the intergalactic medium.

There's friction, but it's negligible.
But you just said there's no friction. There either is or is not. Pick one.

Sounds like you're the one who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Simply because our Galaxy is massive, and even if there was another sentient species nearby, the odds that they would come here, out of all the other possible places to explore, are infinitesimal.

I won't say that it's impossible that other races have visited us, just extremely unlikely.

Because the likelihood of any fast moving object in the sky (or what spectators believe to be an object) being an alien ship is much lower than it being something mundane.

"Alien ship" is a very unlikely and complex answer that would take a lot to prove true. Swamp gas, weather balloon, reflection, ect, are all very likely and simpler answers, which is why they usually prove true easily. There are so many answers that make more sense than Alien ship that it doesn't make sense to jump to the conclusion of Alien ship.

Lots of things make light move in the sky, and our eyes usually play tricks on us when things are that far away.

"You are the last of your kind: bred for combat, built for war. You're the master of any weapon, pilot of any vehicle, and fear no enemy"

I'm going to just assume that since their aren't more advanced species that have made contact, that it's impossible, or they don't exist.

The belief in intelligent life forms outside of our planet is something that people always laugh and instantly disregard because it would destroy everything we believe in. Religion would be obliterated in seconds, and humanity would realize that they are meaningless insects on a blue marble floating in the endless void. That outcome is scary to people because everyone thinks that they are a special snowflake that has some grand purpose on this planet. To ease their fear, society has adopted the "its not real you crazy person" mentality when talking about extraterrestrial life.

That said I don't believe 99.99% of "UFO" or "Alien" videos etc. because they are all entertainment bull-blam!-.

@Vinyl_Hb

Just because someone sees something in the sky doesn't always mean it is a UFO. As recon's quotes stated, for a claim or sighting of that magnitude, I would need substantial evidence proving it.

I do believe that there are alien life-forms, whether or not they are on our planet yet I do not know.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

Statistically speaking, aliens kind of HAVE to exist.

Just saying...

True. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY to have a universe so big and have life only on ONE planet. Other planets have to have something whether it be amoebas, bacteria, or other micro organisms.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

You sound like the Tin foil hat man from Hitman absolution. I hope you don't start stealing gnomes and say the UN is trying to brainwash us with the gnomes.

Alien life almost definitely exists, but reports of "UFOs" and such are almost definitely nonsense.

  • 11.29.2012 4:17 PM PDT

Break down, every single one of you.

"No evidence that it is not aliens" is not the same as "evidence it is aliens."

I was a finalist :P

Why is every visiting aliens motive to make oddball shapes in fields and get photographed by perhaps the worst photographers on the planet?

Rehashing dumb quotes doesn't make a good argument.

It does when it is correct.

non aerodynamic shapes

Because aliens wouldn't be dumb enough to know how to travel space, but not how to reduce friction.

There's no friction in space. Learn basic science.
There is no AIR RESISTANCE in space: there is friction.
Learn basic science.

Also, aren't UFO's supposed to be spotted in the atmosphere, where this is air resistance?

I find it more likely and believable that these floating "light"s in the sky are the high-atmosphere/space equivalent of our deep sea creatures that emit their own light in. As in, they are nothing but space amoebas or space jellyfish.

Considering how large the universe is, and how many billions of other galaxies and planets that are out there. I highly doubt that we are the only forms of intelligent life in the entire universe.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

You're close minded for not taking into consideration any of the 'excuses' that people are making for it.
