This is a picture of the Milky Way Galaxy. There are literally millions upon millions of stars. Some of these stars are larger than our sun, some are smaller, but most of them that have been cateloged are medium sized, like good ol'Sol.
Each of these 'suns' may or may not have planets. We know that a significant number of stars do have orbiting bodies, some of these are larger than earth, some smaller. So, which is more foolish, believing that in the entire cosmos, ONLY Earth has intelligent life, or that there may be life forms smarter, or dumber than we?

Where did you set up your tripod to get that picture of the Milky Way galaxy?

Thank you for some reason and sanity in this sea of inanity.

Perhaps the real question is: Are there, in fact, alien beings who look sort of like us but with no noses and great big eyes, landing on Earth in flying saucers, and harassing people in their bedrooms, taking them on joyrides through space, implanting objects and embryos in their bodies and then leaving them back on Earth with no recollection of the event until after a therapist recovers their memory for them?
Show me any one of these events recorded by someone with a camcorder and I'll believe it.

I'm with you. It is hubris to think we are the only intelligent creatures in the universe.

This is a picture of the Milky Way Galaxy. No. It is not a picture of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is picture of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31).
I can see how someone who believes that a picture of our Milky Way Galaxy could or does exist would get confused about the science of UFOs.

This is a picture of the Milky Way Galaxy. Ummm....exactly how was this photo of the Milky Way taken? What is the name of the spacecraft that has left our galaxy and then took a photo and beamed it back to Earth?
Perhaps this is a photo of a galaxy that is very much similar to the Milky Way?
