What's your theory about aliens?

I believe in the existence of aliens just as much as I accept gravity and evolution as fact. Our universe is just too large for there to be any doubt whatsoever.

I think there may be up to a thousand alien species regularly visiting/observing our planet. Before you call me crazy realize that new estimates of the Milky Way's size put it at 400 billion stars. Let's say that if only 1% of those stars have habitable planets, that would mean 4 billion habitable planets in our galaxy alone!

I think it might be unlikely for any alien species from other galaxies to reach us, the distance seems too far. Maybe, maybe the aliens from the Canis Major Dwarf galaxy, which is the closest galaxy to us at just 25,000 light years away, can reach us, but that's a big if.

Why are they visiting and observing us? I think they do this to all developing species. I think there may be a large universal government governing most known intelligent species. We are probably designated as an endangered and protected species much as we designate our endangered animal species.

I think this universal government idea might be the only plausible explanation for there having been no outright attack on our planet yet. If i'm right about there being many species visiting/observing us, which species would dare attack us in plain view of the universal government? No one.

So if there's so many species observing us, how come none of them have ever presented themselves to us? I think that perhaps the universal government has a law that says no one can interfere with our technological development, not unlike Star Trek's Star Fleet's prohibition of interfering with pre-warp civilizations.

I'd be interested in hearing your theories about aliens.

Cool post!!!! I agree 100% with you on this one!:the universe is to big for us to be alone. In the Bible(cant remember where) it is written that God said that we are only one sheep of a herd that he created!

Why we are visited by aliens, have no idea

Are they only here to monitor us not to destroy earth! or are they here to learn from us or teach.

but what do you hear from people being ubducted?horror stories!
Why are they scared to make contact to the world?i would say that the world will be in chaos,religion would fall apart!

(this is my opinion)
thanks
sorry for the spelling

I believe there is some substance to UFO's, but as to who or what is driving them, i cannot say.

The 2 theories that intrigue me the most though are:

Aliens are God

Erich Von Daniken wrote the novel Chariots of the Gods, which delved deeply into the possibility that humanity was created, or given a push in the evolutionary process, by an alien presence.

He referenced many ancient wonders and artifacts that have strange properties such as the Nazca lines, The Piri Reis map etc.

Basically he was saying that if a ship landed and it's inhabitants taught neanderthals how to light fire etc. or even bred with them, that the pre-humans would regard them as Gods from the sky and worship them for centuries to come as being their creators. This has evolved over the thousands of years since but although it is expressed in many different forms today, modern Religions are still praying to the same Alien gods that created us many years ago.

How UFOs tie in is up to you. They could be observation craft, with abductions a way to study the evolution of our physical form. They could be something entirely unrelated.



The other theory that interests me is:

Aliens are us from the future

About as probable as Australia winning the next Soccer world cup, but still interesting as speculation.

The theory is that the big eyed, frail Greys are the human race after many millions of years of evolution that has gradually replaced physical power with mental power. This has resulted in infertility (ever seen a Grey with genitals?) and the need for changes to be made for the race to survive.

So, in millions of years time they create time travel and return to the 2000's to remove DNA etc. from humans so they can repair their reproductive systems and reverse the physical frailty of the evolutionary process.

There was once a chart posted here that was similar to the Darwin model of evolution with the ape - human scale. It had humans as we are now and the in-between phases of a theoretical evolution into Grey aliens. It also explained how and why many of the changes would take place such as the large eyes, weaker bodies and lack of genitalia.



I don't prescribe to either of the above theories, just throwing them out there for you.

If you haven't heard of a lot of the things mentioned above like the Piri Reis map please look them up. They are fascinating to read about.

Foof.

the "Drake Equasion" estimates there are 10 civilizations in this Galaxy
able to communicate with earthlings.

'google' or 'answers.yahoo' are a couple of searches for Drake Equasion.



~~~~~~~~~~
now after that sensible, reasoning about other intelligent civilizations in
just our galaxy...
I'd say that the religious entities of Angels and Demons are what's been passed down about early man's actual contact with aliens.

My view on this is that I believe there to be Aliens out there somewhere in the Universe, whether or not they have visited us is another thing all together. On another post here they had a report on UFO reports written off as normal and explainable things; it was a very high percentage after investigation. I have seen planes in the sky which are a lot different to what we would normally know of as planes, but there again there has to be planes being tested all the time in the skies. Recent UFO report of the Dorito Shaped UFO which was also spotted over Belgium in the 90's seemed to be a different shape and had a different propulsion but to me looked to be Human made.

There are a lot of reports and I've seen many programs of UFO craft flying fast and changing direction very quickly, which would be impossible with our current understanding of Gravity, the only way it would be possible is for these craft to be Un-manned tested craft. If aliens are visiting earth and have been for years then they are quite obviously thousands of years ahead of us just to understand space travel over the speed of light.

The whole thing about aliens being God tho to me is pretty much wishful thinking to some people. It's just as bad as certain religious beliefs in itself, we know scientifically how our ozone was created and we know that the Earths life is water base and is based on all aspects of this planet; distance from the Sun etc.. There are still forms of life in the sea which we know nothing about.

No-one has photos or video evidence of other life forms similar to us which makes the whole UFO/Alien thing a lot harder to prove. It also makes it interesting to read about tho. I hope there is other life out there in the universe.

The Fermi paradox has also been challenged by Dr Amir Aczel, he has written a book on the subject called 'Probability One', available on Amazon.

Every thoughtful person wonders about the possibility that life exists elsewhere in the universe. Hollywood has made a lot of money from movies based on the assumption that alien life-forms exist; and now Amir D. Aczel sets out to prove they do -- although there has been no well-authenticated ''contact,'' and despite the fact that life on earth is the only life we actually know.

(The Fermi paradox: The Fermi paradox is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for, or contact with, such civilizations.)

read the book called "the hidden records 1 by Wayne Herschel" there is a chapter in called masked gods,there is pictures of Mayan`s that look if the person had a space suite on! really interesting pictures!

do you believe in the stargate maybe humans could off use it in the future to come back know!to monitor us and to prevent us from destroying our world and our human bodies!

I am going to write abook about aliens, it'll have lots of photographs of
ancient drawings and carvings and I'll imply underneath the pics what
they might be.
Rule 1. All aliens used to wear space helmets, you'll see them carved
by past races on rocks and such.
Rule2. They left a secret and sometimes helped races to draw big birds
and spiders on desert floors... it's to help, you see.
Rule 3. They love leaving cryptic messages in cornfields, oh I know
they could come out and say "Hi! we're here" but that would kill a whole
lecture/book sales and mechandise industry.
Rule 4. Every craft, whether they're from Ray Meier's mob or George Bush/
Queen of England/any other celebrity's relation have the ability to blur
any image that's taken of said craft... it's almost god-like.
Rule5. THIS IS IMPORTANT. You... yes you, are the main character in
this movie you're living, you are the one who knows what's really going on.

For those who are pretty new at it, take the journey, buy the books,
look up George Knapp, believe any video from Mexico and please, please
go on the lectures. Remember, have your money ready in your hand.

Oh and don't forget, when you relate your experiences to fellow ATSers,
please connect it to a movie with quotes like: "I agree, it was like I
was Jodie Foster in Contact or something..."

I'm a little unsure, but am I supposed to say at this point something about
I agree that there may be life out there and surely they must have visited
us, surely they've left us with...

It's a crock, you're an animal that can communicate with your fingers,
look around you.
P.S you could always use the favourite?... 2012 will they come?

I believe in aliens and life on other planets. Like so many others have said, "you'd have to be ignorant not to.". That being said, it makes way more sense to me to say that an alien race altered the genetic code of a species (perhaps monkeys) which became us, than to say we were "created" by God.

I believe that one of the reasons they are here is that they are checking up on their work. Who knows what their motives are for altering us from our original genetic makeup....but they are here nonetheless.

my theory is there are probably other civilizations somewhere in the universe but we are too far apart in space & time to ever come into contact. Which is quite a sad thought

Uhm they have? What about the countless sightings.
Honestly this post is just like 30 other's I've seen here the past few weeks..asking a very basic question thats been discussed many many times before..not to be a jerk but if you only looked a few pages back your question has been answered already.
ts just a form of trolling these questiosn are so is it an organized trolling 'event' thats going on or part of a government pysiops to subvert any real info that might enter these forums? Its very subtle I know but very evident...good job.

Of course someone will say "how dare you say that to an innocent question!!"
but common sense tells me something else is going on with these people..

So if there's so many species observing us, how come none of them have ever presented themselves to us?
I'd be interested in hearing your theories about aliens.
