Do you believe we are being visited by intelligent aliens from another planet?

Yes we are. They are called MAGAS.

Wow, really?

I would say that Donald Trump came from the planet Assholyness

Just now as I type this a guy on TV in the know talking about dead alien bodies the government has and have had for awhile. This guy is dead serious.

Nice! When you give in to the fact that we are really helpless and insignificant, you can live a more honest and present life.

ah finally, an air tight explanation! But I think I missed the justification for flying the dysfunctional advanced aircraft (which can also dive!) near military bases.

[chuckling]

An advanced alien civilization would have known Earth was biologically active more than a billion years ago by analyzing our atmospheric. So they would have plenty of time to send probes. Its easy to imagine those probes were programmed to stay hidden and avoid interacting with developing life forms (The Prime Directive).

But.... I need more concrete evidence to believe this actually happened.

A more interesting question is "Why aren't the aliens here?". That's basically The Fermi Paradox. There are dozens of potential answers, but nobody really knows.

No.

There may well be alien lifeforms co-existing with us but on a different timescale. Something with a lifespan of a billion years for example might not even notice us because we happen so fast, and to us something like that would appear to be inanimate. And it could happen the other way too. I personally don't think there are any lifeforms living on our timescale and that are around the same size as us.

That alien must have sinned to have landed in this hell for their afterlife.

Three military veterans testified in Congress' highly anticipated hearing on UFOs Wednesday, including a former Air Force intelligence officer who claimed the U.S. government has operated a secret "multi-decade" reverse engineering program of recovered vessels. He also said the U.S. has recovered non-human "biologics" from alleged crash sites.

Doubt these guys are BSing

If its intelligent life it has to be alien.

The Fermi paradox is not a paradox at all, just something Fermi is attributed to have idly exclaimed, and one of any number of answers sufficing to shatter the so-called paradox could be that the aliens are just sitting on the potty in their homes for extended periods.

The word “biologics” is hilarious and so like the military.

Talking crash sites is all that is really needed, alien aircraft all we need,

the way these sightings ignore the physics of our world makes me think we are living in an aquarium and they are beings poking their fingers on the outside glass.

Interesting idea. I don't know if I buy it, but this is the kind of outside the box thinking that I like to see. I've thought all along that we are absurdly anthropomorphic to think that alien life forms have to be something like our size and have similar chemical composition.

Right and we don't and won't have the power to attain those speeds. We can only barely observe that speed/time connection in our extremely limited capabilities.

Good points. Hollywood is not very creative when it comes to the "form" of alien life, but when we talk about aliens we mean intelligent life. There are live organic entities like coral reefs that have been around for thousands of years, which is closer to what the poster is touching on.
