Do You Really Believe There Is Life In Space?

[Salty80]

If there really is smart life on another world, why don't they make an effort to contact us?

[naomi24]

Coming from a supposedly intelligent man, that's sad, Khandro.

[Gromit]

Khandro,
We get Martian Meteorites falling to Earth, so we already have a good idea of what minerals that planet contains. Russia and the US have been landing probes on Mars for over 50 years analysing samples on board craft such as Viking 1 & 2. We already know what it is made of.
With probes such as ‘Perseverance’ the mission is to return samples to Earch for rigorous scientific study looking for evidence of organic life, or historic evidence of previous life.

Do you really take pleasure out of being rude to people? I had thought that you were a creative artistic spiritual person - Naomi recommended you as such. I don't expect a reply, so don't feel the need. I suppose you'd call my question rhetorical. If you did reply, I'd be interested, so don't let me put you off.

Myself and two other witnesses actually saw an unidentified flying craft at about five hundred feet, in broad daylight, for at least five minutes. There was no sound. Make of this what you will.

[Atheist]

david small. Could you give us a bit more info?

[david small]

Atheist. It was dark brown/bronze. Longer in length than width. Totally silent. Moved purposely across the sky at approximately five hundred feet, and slowly went out on my viewing field. It was under some power but I know not what. Three separate people stood and watched this, I was one of them. Area, was Lichfield, Staffordshire. 1967.

david small. Just another vague description which wouldn't impress the average person. But three years ago I saw a black sphere, silent and only a hundred or so feet above my back garden in a clear blue sky. No sound, no vapour trail, no sparks or glows or wings - moving steadily in a straight line without deviation; no amazing direction changes. Completely boring, except that I've never seen anything like it. It went out of my field of view when it went over the house roof, and whn I had run through the house there was no longer any sign of it. The simple theory is that it was some kind of drone, but it was rally un-drone-like in that there was no sound.

My wife's mum saw something similar over Vauxhall in the late fifties. Some college chums saw typical 'cigar-shaped' Ufo in the south of France in the mid sixties. My daughter saw something odd close to Greenham Common in the eighties (she wasn't a Greenham woman).
Ther's a huge amount of human testimony, including USA personnel. But, it's all a bit too way-out to be taken seriously.

Atheist, //I had thought that you were a creative artistic spiritual person - Naomi recommended you as such. //

Khandro is without doubt creative and artistic - but I don't recall 'recommending' him as 'spiritual'.

[naomi24]

I've seen a UFO too.

[Atheist]

Sorry Naomi. I think I recall Khandro describing himself as spiritual.

[Atheist]

Naomi; what was your UFO like?

[naomi24]

It was a silver ball moving silently on a definite trajectory very low over a four-storey block of flats - in broad daylight.

[Atheist]

Naomi; Any sound? Vapour trail? Direction changes? Was it windy?

[naomi24]

Nothing. A clear, bright day. The object was metallic.

[Atheist]

Naomi; It sounds as if it was shiny. Did it have any self-illumination? Any other witnesses?

[naomi24]

I didn't see any lights on it - just what looked like glass at the top with the sun glinting on it. Yes, there was someone with me. We ran across the road to follow its path across the rooftops.

[Atheist]

Naomi; what happened eventually? Did you lose sight of it behind buildings, or did it move off into the distance?

[naomi24]

Once it had flown over the rooftops it was hidden from view.

[Atheist]

Naomi; Was this a long time ago? Were there drones available at the time?
