Aliens exist — they just haven’t visited Earth, a NASA veteran has claimed.
Dr. Gentry Lee has worked at the US space agency since 1968, when he first got involved with the Viking mission to Mars. He has since spent more than half a century designing probes to land on distant planets — but argues Earth has not yet been visited by otherworldly beings.
“There exists nothing today that says any alien or any alien machine has ever landed on the planet Earth,” he told the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference in Phoenix. “If you believe otherwise, you are being misled.”
According to the expert, in every case of a supposed UFO sighting or alien encounter, there is likely a simpler explanation for those phenomena. But when it comes to distant planets, life has “just got to be there somewhere”. …

There are billions and billions of stars. Good chance that somewhere in the vastness of the universe there are other advanced civilizations. However the enormous distances and the speed of light speed limit make it virtually impossible for any biological or mechanical entity to reach us or us them. Sorry but warp drives and navigable “worm holes” are pure science fiction.
However mankind had been broadcasting radio waves into space which travel at the speed of light for the past 125 years. Now if there is a planet hosting an advanced civilization with 75 light years, it is not impausible that they have received our broadcasts and are sending radio wave replies which may be soon arriving. In fact the “UFOs” we witness that dart around at the speed of light might be radio images that use our atmosphere as a video screen. Alien teenagers having fun?. Also there may be a string of alien civilizations linked by radiowaves. Messages and information might be shared but the communications are not very rapid.
There are no odds for God existing but there are odds for extraterrestial life existing and they are good.
BUMP
I doubt God wasted anything in His design. But no man has been able to 'create life'. That could very well be unique to His plan according to His Word.
I suspect that IF there is an alien intelligence that has mastered intragalactic or intergalactic travel, that they will be at a level of technology far beyond our ability to get our heads around. They would probably give us all the passing interest you give a small anthill at the back edge of the Walmart parking lot.
As long as we're not being fire ants and giving people a reason to eradicate us, there may be a small number of entomologists who take a closer look, but for the most part, they don't bother us, and we barely notice them. Or, life on other planets may be the ones at the technological level of ants or bacteria, and we may be the most developed ones in the universe...
“F there are life forms in other parts of the universe, it’s pretty silly for us to assume they are at a stage of technological development that is generally comparable to ours.”
We’d be stupid and narrow minded to assume that aliens need to fit into our perception of life. If God created other life forms, I would expect that they’re NOTHING like us.
“Plenty of “witnesses” to the existence of the pagan gods too.”
By definition, pagan gods are easily witnessed?
You mean to tell me that all these people, high trained and highly disciplined, that have said they saw a UFO, which includes none other than Roald Reagan, actually saw nothing?
“Name one witness”
You have the internet, do your own damn research.
There’s a Face !
Just got a DVD of;
“The Day the Earth stood Still” 1951 cult
Movie said to be A Good Flick—rates C —
“Klaatu Barada Nikto” as Klaatu said.
.
As For Real ETs show me a body or Ship and Then we will see.
None of the alleged sightings you are referencing are “easily siighted” either. Just a matter of how widespread the belief gets.
If A is true, B cannot be proved.
Sure they have. Didn’t you see the TV Show “My Favorite Martian”, with Ray Walston and Bill Bixby?
There is a group of people from mission control and the spaces shuttle, in 1996 that would disagree (privately).
Earth is the neighborhood where the smart aliens roll up their windows, lock their doors and don’t make eye contact with the natives.
Crap. 17 and 27 already made the same joke.
Okay. All these people throughout the years, including Ronald Reagan, saw a craft merely because they thought they were supposed to see them.
If one is seen, then it is easily sighted.
Pagan gods were usually made of stone or wood and could not move themselves, so, yes, they were easily sighted. You can still see them today.
No need to research absolutely nothing. You’re just a damn fool.
