Anyone fascinated by UFO sightings will be disappointed to learn that a leading expert has dismissed suggestions we have ever been visited by aliens from outer space. There may be life out there, apparently, but it is just too far to get to Earth by spaceship.

Following reported sightings of UFOs there has been renewed speculation that aliens may be watching us.

But Dr Christian Kaiser, of the University of Southampton, said it is unlikely any can have made it this far.

Beldar could not be reached for comment.

Once again, you earthlings crack me up!

[svcw]

To far for earth capabilities but not for the capabilities of my alien friends.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I don't take anyone who thinks we've been visited by aliens, seriously.

Not because I doubt their existence, but because it's so incredibly improbable.

Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!

You mean Coast to Coast is a pack of lier's? I am Shocked.

[Coffee200am]

You mean Star Trek is a lie???????

[fieldmarshaldj]

Incredibly impossible from the standpoint of our current technology. 100 years ago, the notion of landing a man on the moon or setting probes down on Mars was patently ludicrous, the stuff of Sci-Fi.

Cloverfield.

I always keep an open mind. Science has much more to add to our ignorance.

Xenu will deal with this non-believer.

(Date line, 1008 A.D.) Leading alchemists dismiss the notion that people can ever achieve flight. “People are just too big to fly.”, says Lord Ossify of the Royal Society of Alchemists. “I’ve tried pasting feathers on servants ad pushing them off the third floor balcony at my castle, and at best the results can be described as disappointing.”

Driven through any major intersections, lately? Click bang, what a hang.

[Mr. Mojo]

lol...well done.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Well! Glad that's all resolved, then.

[Ticonderoga34]

How do we know that this so-called, “Dr Christian Kaiser” isn't an alien himself who is just trying to fool the earthlings?

Has anyone seen “Dr Christian Kaiser” birth certificate?

[Ben Reyes]

A leading expert from NASA also said that global warning is real and that we have to do something quick or the end of the world is a done deal.

[Diggity]

I would imagine that we stand out like a sore thumb to races just a few hundred years ahead of us not to mention those that are 1 million years ahead of us.

If this is true, what is Coast-to-Coast going to talk about?
