I believe there is life on other worlds. You can’t convince me that, out of all the planets in all the galaxies and solar systems, ours is the only one that supports and has lifeforms.

I don’t think that excuse is going to cut it. Although it is more original than “The dog ate it”.

I believe in UFOs “unidentified falling objects” just like they say what goes up most come down.

Oh boy.

Carl Sagan used to say there must be life, other than ours, the problem is with contact. The distances are so great that it would take many generations (measured in human generations) to get to any make contact.

I’ve seen several (temporarily) unidentified flying objects: satellites, meteors, a huge flock of migrating birds in the setting-sunlight, the Goodyear blimp at a great distance, a flight of helicopters at night, and strange cloud formations. Oh, and that one time I was abducted and my memories replaced.

“The proven existence of aliens would shatter that concept, be a near fatal blow to our ego, and destroy the religious institutions. Chaos! The believers would no longer have anybody to tell them what and how to think!”.Nah, the pope would still have followers..“Its just a manifestation of the narrow-mined, ego-centric viewpoint of mankind. Only after overwhelming evidence does that change – begrudgingly – and only up to the next level of egocentricity.”.Few doubt the possibility of alien peoples. We doubt that those reports are actual sightings of them. .They are supposed to be advanced enough cross the distance between stars or even galaxies, want to, get here, be afraid to meet with us but not be smart enough to avoid being sighted by select people. Unreasonable..It is quite possible none would be interested in exploration.It is quite possible some would be so xenophobic as to develop robots to populate the universe and wipe out all others. (Think Saberhagen’s Berserkers and suchlike.).Just because we doubt a kid obviously skipping doing his homework again saw one does not mean we aren’t open to possibilities. It just means we aren’t as gullible as some are..

[furry-faced grin] Wonderful comic Robb!!! Very real!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++While I firmly believe there is a really strong possibility of life on other planets…. I also firmly believe that most “UFO Sightings” are NOT aliens from another world. Most, if not all UFO’s are illusions of one sort or another…. and many of the sightings are typically fueled by something the sighter smoked or drank.
