Do you think aliens and UFO exist?

LONDON (AFP) - - Lemon-headed aliens, scrambled fighter jets and mysterious lights over a cemetery were among details of some 800 UFO sightings released by British authorities Monday.

 

But another intriguing finding to emerge from the 1981-1996 archives was a surge in reports at the time of UFO-related blockbusters such as 1996's "Independence Day," not to mention the British television run of "The X-Files."

 

Among the most striking accounts released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is that of two boys who reported being spoken to by an alien with a lemon-shaped head, who appeared before them in a field on May 4, 1995.

 

"We want you, come with us," said the alien's voice, according to a police report filed after the youngsters, who seemed "agitated and distressed," recounted their experiences.

 

"They stated the object was about four houses high in the sky and about forty foot away from them," said the report, adding that when officers went to check two days later, they found only a farmer spraying his crops.

 

In another account bound to excite ufologists, a former armed forces chief urged authorities to take more seriously a report by US Air Force (USAF) staff near an airbase in eastern England.

 

The individuals "reported seeing a strange glowing object in the forest," said a report by a US air force commander, recounting what three of his staff told him of the incident, early on the morning of December 27, 1980.

 

"It illuminated the entire forest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on top and a bank of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering or on legs. As the patrolmen approached the object, it manoeuvred through the trees and disappeared."

 

Then there is the report of how, between November 1989 and April 1990, the Belgian air force scrambled F-16 fighter jets to investigate a series of UFO sightings -- and reportedly "locked on" to them with their radars.

 

"The mystery remains unresolved," wrote General Wilfried de Brouwer, Chief of Operations, Belgian Air Staff, adding that despite being sceptical, "the evidence was remarkable."

 

One of the spookiest incidents occurred in the early hours of July 15, 1996, when a UFO was spotted hovering over a cemetery in Widnes, northwest England, before firing burning laser beams into the ground.

 

Cynics would note that the man involved was heading home from a night out at the time -- possibly in a similar mental state to two revellers who claimed to have seen a UFO hovering over the jazz tent at the 1994 Glastonbury Festival.

 

And sceptics will also point to a more general trend made clear by the latest archives.

 

In 1995 there were 117 UFO sightings reported to authorities, but this spiked to 609 in 1996, according to the MoD reports, released after a three-year project with the National Archives.

 

"It's evident there is some connection between newspaper stories, TV programmes and films about alien visitors and the numbers of UFO sightings reported," said UFO expert and journalism lecturer David Clarke.

 

"Aside from 1996, one of the busiest years for UFO sightings reported to the MoD over the past half century was 1978 -- the year 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' was released," added Clarke.

The universe is big enough to have more than 1 solar system like ours.

U call them alien...they call u something else of their language...

 

So who is the alien?

[Tigershark1976]

how come alien also discuss in MCF?? i mean, its nothing wrong to start it in Lite & EZ section but err....

There are 100 of billion of galaxies around holding trillion of stars each.

If we are the only ones around, that mean we are one in 1000 quintillion!

[Shull]

Put it in this way..

 

There a billions of stars just in Milky Way(our galaxy), some stars have no planets, while others have alot more than what our sun has..

 

Then, there are billions of galaxies in the universe..and ALL of them have millions and billions of stars in them..

 

So i would say that i'm 99.9% sure that there are other form of lifeforms out there..and when i say lifeforms, i don't mean intelligent..even cells, microbes all are considered lifeforms..

and not to mention that the size of earth is actually about the same as some of jupiter's moon..

I start with the simple one first. Do UFOs exist? 100% yes. This is because UFO simply stands for Unidentified Flying Object. They exist simply by the definition alone. If we associate UFO with alien spaceships, then it is very debatable.

 

Do aliens exist? Do a google for Drake's law. The probability according to this equation is very high. On the other hand, Drake's law is countered by Fermi's paradox. Given the age and size of our universe, surely intelligent aliens would have developed elsewhere long before us and made contact by now.

 

Do note that the definition of alien is subjective. Right now, humans can only search for life as we know it, meaning to say the lifeforms have to be very similiar to what we can observe on Earth. There could be "life" that is so different from what we understand as "life" that we don't even recognize it as "life".

And if you've read Arthur C Clarke novel. There's potential for life form on one of the moons of Jupiter.

You see them walking around Geylang soliciting our old uncles. They cut toenails in our buses and mrts, and make scam phone calls to our home-bound old folks about us being kidnapped.

Even if they are other intelligent life forms out there, they would not dare make contact with us humans. We are uncivilised & aggressive, not to mention we like to use nuclear weapons. I mean just look at our alien movies.
