Default Do you believe?

After weeks of X-Files marathons, UFO Documentaries on the History Channel and finally the viewing of Signs (I'd never seen it). I've really become interested anew in U.F.O.s

As a kid I was obsessed, checked out all books available on U.F.O.s etc.

I have always believed they're out there. But then I start thinking, if they've been around since before recorded history why do we STILL have no hard evidence? Nothing concrete that proves they exsist....

"I want to believe"

So...thoughts? Do you believe in UFOs?

Discuss....

What makes you think that the entire species called "Homo Sapien" ISN'T of extraterrestrial origin?

You know, that's something I've actually been thinking a lot about lately...so I don't think that is out of the realm of possibility...but there is still no concrete proof

Oh and I forgot another question....Have any of you ever SEEN a UFO?

from a hotbed for UFO's, Burns Flats, OK.

At night if you head west of Cordell, OK on a clear night you can see strange lights in the sky very clearly. They appear especially bright during the summer nights. They are not weather ballons or city lights refracting from the heat of the ground into the sky.

The former US Air Force base at Burns Flats refuse to say what those objects in the sky are.

Kinda funny that Burns Flats has already been designated as a future space port by NASA, and may very soon be a launch site for newer technologies of space travel that will replace the space shuttle fleet.

Still, Noone knows what is in the skies at night

I saw two of them once over a field. They would appear in different locations in the sky very quickly and then finally disappeared after like, 5 minutes. They deff were not airplanes, as they had a weird white/yellow fuzzy glow around them and they were totally round. It was kind of fun actually.

Oooh that is fun. I say that, but if I saw one I'm sure I'd wet myself. I thought I saw one once...I came outside and saw three lights circling one another in the sky...as I was having a heart attack I realized that a) I was drunk and b) they were actually search lights

I don't know if I believe in UFOs, but I do believe that the universe is much bigger than we can probably fathom at this moment (and maybe ours isn't even the only universe), and that there is certainly some form of life in other universes/parts of our own universe.

As for why we have no hard evidence - if we don't have the capability of traveling to these other worlds yet, what makes us think anyone else does? They could all be back in the stone age, or they may very well know all about us, but think we're too crazy to mess with.

the government wont tell us anything, Hell even Slick Willy Clinton signed a statement saying Area 51 "does not exist".

My brother-in-law works on the F22 as a 'defense weapons expert', so he is 'hush-hush' (When I talk to my sister occassionally the govt. records/listens in on our conversations) on any and all pertaining to that technology.



As for me, Here's my proof UFO's/Aliens exist:



Hey, if Steve Vai can have an alien on his album artwork and have the same alien (Along with his UFO flying alien friends) sing backup on his song "Little Green Men" who am I to question if they exist or not?

Oh I definitely think the universe is so much bigger than we fathom. I've always thought it quite arrogant of humans to be so certain that there was no other life out there...how would they know!?!

And I take some UFOs to be craft from other worlds...but with that, then maybe they're so stealthy they don't leave evidence? I don't know...but I do believe there is life out there...

After 12 years of watching X-Files I've still not become 'a believer'. That is, if you're strictly asking about aliens and UFO's visiting this earth. There might be other life forces out there, I just don't believe they've ever tried to visit our planet. I can't for the life of me think of a reason why (and don't start with this colonization stuff! ) and I'd like to believe that if they can find us, we should be able to find them also...and we haven't.

Deanna, I hate to put in a Sidney Sheldon plug here, but if you are feeling the alien vibe at the moment, I would HIGHLY and I mean HIGHLY reccomment "The Doomsday Conspiracy". It is very good, and like I said, if you are feeling this whole alien thing, I would definately give it a go.

Hopy yall are well and Very interesting topic. I've been thinking about it too.
Much Love,
Ethan

I even held a seance once, and I think it kindasorta worked. I felt something, that's for sure, but I haven't done one since. That was a long-ass time ago. I was so scared after.

They're all part of the paranormal, yeah? Anything other-worldly has always fascinated me.
