First Contact on October 14, 2008. Are you ready!!!!

geez we have enough ufo/et games...GTA is better than those..you'd think they'd say a 69 Camaro was gonna be seen in the skies for 3 days

Just one question....
Why do we need aliens from another planet when we already KNOW the answer to the universe is 42?

-Blu- (eyes turned to the skies)

They better get sum clearance first or Anonymous will have to shoot them down. Marcab Confederacy doesn't liek competitors for Earth, especially after so much work preparing the planet for the invasion.

So this is about the "V" remake, right?

Because they are bringing free snow cones for EVERYONE!

Choosen few posts here a lot

i want blueberry!!!!

So some store in Alabama wants to increase its traffic..

And we have to put up with a huge spacecraft full of bots???

What about the carbon footprint?
Somebody should write a stiffly-worded letter to the newspapers.

Stop worrying guys.

The fairies at the bottom of my garden have promised to keep it away.

It's very simple people...

A native american spirit is talking through a channeling medium telling her the extraterrestrial pleiadians, who mostly live in other dimensions, are coming in a big ship, to rearrange our DNA back from the 2 stranded helix we have now to a 12 stranded helix which was destroyed by evil aliens thousands of years ago, so they could feed on our turmoil and misery. So now our chakras will be restored and we can vibrate the right way again and receive messages from the rest of the universe. To better connect with the Prime Being which is sending vibrations of love through the universe.

So stop your joking around, as this sounds pretty convincing.


(I hope they have those snowcones too though... i heard DNA rearranging leaves you with quite a thirst.)

Um... the last time a UFO was supposed to visit us, a bunch of wacky cultists wearing Nikes drank some poisoned punch.

Altho..... I got a great pic of the Hale Bop Comet

Can I ask for a bigger penis then?

It's one of the chakras, so no. But you'll get twelve now though.

They're here already, with their message of universal love.

My expectations of contact in my lifetime are somewhat bleak... humanity has been around for 130,000 years and the age of the universe is estimated to be in the region of 14 billion years. We have only been sending powerful radio transmissions into space for the last 50 years.

We'd have to assume a civilisation capable of contacting us arose in a similar time in galactic history and still exists. That civilisation would have to be in a 25 light year sphere from the Earth to have heard from us and sent a message back. Given current life expectancy, I have another 40 or 50 years, which expands the sphere to around a 50 light-year radius. Not very big in galactic terms.

This assumes 'they' can detect radio waves, can understand our messages and want to reply. And that they exist in the same tiny area of space, during the same eye-blink moment of my (and yep, probably *your* lifetime). Even expanding it to future generations, we are isolated in time as well as in space.

This theory makes many assumptions, so it's far from water-tight. There may be faster-than-light communications and/or travel just waiting to be discovered. Civilisations the level of technology necessary for interstellar communication might, by consequence of their technology, become very long-lived, increasing the time available for such cultures to meet. There's a lot we don't know. We know the universe is huge, we are starting to discover 'Earth-like' worlds, and it seems to be very easy for carbon-based life to evolve from simple chemicals. I'd bet there is life out there, someWHERE and someWHEN, and probably intelligent life too. I just don't find it very likely they'll be knocking on our door any time soon.

- If ET exists in the Milky Way galaxy, then I am fairly certain that they are aware that there is life on Earth and have been for potentially millions of years or more. I believe this because of our own current astronomical technology and some common sense extrapolations on the future capabilities of that technology.

- If that's true, then it *does* seem plausible to me that ET may have sent some kind of probe in the past to our solar system or planet to observe us in more detail.

- I don't believe that ET would have any need or desire to travel here in person since a single probe or machine could gather all the information they could ever need. A probe needn't even enter Earth's atmosphere to study our entire planet and every individual organism on it in complete detail. Since our technology allows us to study planets within a certain amount of detail without landing on them, I extrapolate that and assume that ET's technology will allow them to do so in much greater detail; perhaps complete detail. If ET is millions of years more advanced than us, why would they ever need to enter Earth's atmosphere to study our planet when our current ability to study planets without landing on them is getting more and more detailed by the decade?

- An ET probe might exist at a gravitational lagrange point where it could remain stationary in a stable orbit without expending energy over long periods of time. This has been hypothesized by some astronomers, including Jill Tarter of the SETI Institute. The lagrange points between Earth, the moon, and the sun haven't been scanned for artificial objects, so their existence remains a possibility. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point A probe may also exist on the moon as a von Neumann probe, as was depicted in the movie "2001".

- Even if no probes are discovered, it seems that ET could have the technology to make such a probe absolutely invisible and undetectable...or perhaps such a probe would be microscopic in size?... When speculating about ET's technology, it's easy to make basic assumptions about what they would have based on what we know about our own tech, but difficult to imagine what's possible to create from as yet undiscovered sciences.

- If UFOs are real, it would seem pretty funny to me that ET can avoid detection by private and government satelittes and telescopes in the ground and in space owned and operated by organizations in various countries throughout the entire world.......yet they can't avoid detection by some dude with a hand-held camera in his backyard. Heck, our stealth bombers could be utterly invisible to machines and fly at heights making them undetectable by eyeballs on the ground in the Persian Gulf War.... so those aliens must be pretty dumb.

- As far as abductions, etc.
Again, I guess our technology must be better than theirs.
If ET wanted to dissect humans, all they would have to do is retrieve a single human hair follicle or skin cell and they could clone billions of us to experiment on if they wanted to. So why do they insist on sneaking into Uncle Goober's house and fiddling with his weewee?

The 'transcript' of the original channelled message as per Miz Blossom is hilarious in itself.

Jammed with references taken out of pulp fiction and Hollywood, it seems to cover all the bases. It uses human language that evolved from historic and cultural events and includes concepts that are just too human to be in usage by some distant civilizations. In other words, it was written by a human
(Although, to be fair, there is a reference there indicating that they've been watching our TV shows, too)
Hilariously, after threats that "love" was going to be foisted upon us without further ado and making clear that this will happen like it or not, it asks for our help in making nice.

This newest spaceship hysteria is, however, a very sad statement about the human condition in general.
While others look to God to bail us out, this group is anxiously awaiting some other deux ex machina to miraculously (or scientifically) create a shangri-la at a time where we cannot rely on our own leaders to run this planet for the good of all.

At this dark moment in history it is just too convenient to put our hopes in someone who can wave a magic wand and make it all better, especially if promised without the fire and brimstone accompanying the biblical versions.

B.

Sounds to me like the OP is off their meds.

Or on some really really good ones.

Hey, I didnt make it up..and nah..just good ol fashion barley and hops

Evidence in Roswell.
