With yesterday's supposed news, what are y'all's thoughts on aliens?

 

 

I think the universe is awfully big to not have any alien species in it.

 

That said, I feel like the recent alien discussions/discoveries are 50/50 of:

1) distraction for something the government(s) is doing that they don't want you to know about (this gets into conspiracy land of New World order stuff)

2) an alien invasion is coming lol

What was the news yesterday?

I've said for a long time, it would be weird if life only existed on Earth so I fully believe there is life out there.

I however do not believe they have ever visited us.

Whatever this is, was some kind of hoax. What are the odds that aliens actually would look like the depictions in our film industry? Nearly zero IMO.

Looks real to me. I bow before my new overlords

Alien tech could explain the massive leaps forward in tech the last 20-40 years too, though.

 

I'd lean toward hoax for this particular instance, too, though - that thing is way too similar to ET to be a real thing.

Meh.

Humans haven't existed that long in the grand scheme of things and space is massive. It is entirely possible alien life can exist and we haven't been visited or seen them yet.

Though maybe they visited Earth long before humans. How do we know some species aren't alien? Like some ocean life looks alien to me. I realize I am contradicting myself there but just throwing it out there.

It's equally terrifying to think we're literally all alone floating on one rock in the vast expanse of space that's so big our brains cant even comprehend it.

Well even if there is life out there somewhere, we know its far far far * 1000000 away so we're basically all alone anyway

Maybe somebody smart can answer this. When they take samples from a planet such as Mars and they say there's no sign of life. How do they know? They are basing it on what life on Earth needs to survive aren't they? How would we know what an alien lifeform could live on?

Yeah this always bugs me because they base nearly everything on the ol carbon based lifeform since that's what we know.

I do think there is intelligent life SOMEWHERE out there but it's not like the conspiracy theorists imagine.

Yeah, it's based on life as we know it.  Doesn't mean there's not another type.

For all we know there are life forms living in Mars's core, which we haven't gotten to.

Also we assume aliens will be more advanced, but there's also the possibility of low IQ mouthbreathers out there.

Like the ones on this forum. 

I can't breathe well through my nose so I have always been a mouthbreather. Sorry to disappoint y'all 😞

What would the Mexican government be trying to distract people from.  I find it interesting/ironic/comical that thse aliens are the most prototypical aliens you have seen in all kind of sci fi for decades though.

I literally put the thing they’d be distracting from in the sentence you quoted…..

A lot of world governments are suddenly talking about aliens….why now?

Again, Das misses the point of whatever the discussion is.
