Psaw, your extra-terrestrial intelligent aliens

[6EQUJ5]

A while ago you assured us that extra-terrestrial intelligent aliens were all around us.
I do not see any of them. Could it be that they all arrived on small space-ships and
they have now been sent to Rwanda?

Do you think that aliens have ever land on earth 6WQ? I don't mean in the part few hundred years but maybe several hundred thousand centuries ago or maybe dinosaur times,I watched a programme the other day that said there was proof because of paintings in caves from early human times and the advancement of man over a relatively short time

[6EQUJ5]

There is no evidence that extra-terrestrial craft have ever landed on Earth. Thus I do not believe that there is any reason to suppose that they have landed nor do I believe that any UFOs / UAPs are from anywhere other than Earth.

Nowadays we have created plenty of images of supposed future craft. It could well be that in the distant future people will see some of these images as being similar to the actual craft that may land. So images created in the past are not evidence of the existence of exotic craft at that time.

My overall opinion on this topic is that actual scientific evidence is all that counts.

Let me put it this way. If you state that 5 minutes ago you f­arted I would regard it as true. Such is a mundane statement. But if anyone stated that aliens have landed on Earth at any time or that UFOs / UAPs are alien craft I would regard that as an exotic statement for which scientific evidence / proof is needed. There is no such evidence / proof. People who like to believe that aliens have landed on Earth and that UFOs / UAPs are alien craft have never supplied evidence / proof that can be verified by scientists. Such enthusiastic believers actually resent being asked for the evidence / proof that they cannot provide.

Overall there are 3 possibilities about alien intelligent extra-terrestrial life. Each of them is scientifically possible.
1) There is no alien extra-terrestrial intelligent life.
2) There is alien extra-terrestrial life but it is extremely rare.
3) There is a vast abundance of alien extra-terrestrial life of various varieties but in the vastness of the universe the distance between
that on any planet and its nearest neighbouring alien extra-terrestrial life may be so great that even with the most advanced technology
no alien civilisation may be able to detect the existence of any other alien civilisation.

Chalky, I recognise that you want to believe without scientific proof in the same way that you believe in religion. There are plenty of people who make a living out of alleged alien conspiracies. New stories appear all the time. In my opinion the American 'powers that be' are quite content that there are stories about Area 51. It concentrates all the eccentric attention on one place, which is merely a testing area for prototype aircraft. Possibly in another American air base in another desert there is something interesting but nobody is thinking about that because all the eccentric attention is on Area 51.

I'm very open minded when it comes to other life forms elsewhere in the galaxies,I don't believe for one second that they've visited earth in the past two millenniums for example but I did think it intriguing that they could have visited 10 million years ago or whatever and obviously there's not going to be any proof whatsoever,there's got to be something out there but probably haven't visited at all,I just thought that I would ask your opinion because I know that you are knowable on the subject so thanks for your reply

[6EQUJ5]

I do not rule out the possibility that they could have visited 10 million years ago. It is impossible to prove that they have not made such a visit and it is impossible to prove that they have made such a visit.

"More than 10 million years ago, the world was brimming with a wide variety of apes". https://www.science.org/content/arti...ent%20extinct.

Human beings in our current form have existed for a mere 250,000 years. Although we have scientific evidence of what happened shortly after the creation of the universe 14.5 billion years ago such evidence does not go down to the level of a visit from alien extra-terrestrial intelligent life.

I like your very positive attitude. I want alien extra-terrestrial intelligent life to exist and I want it to be detected by us. I will believe in such existence when there is evidence to prove it.
