| Hey, erm... the bit about the floating things on the first post... you believe me, right? |
| Weeellll.... thinking about it for a second, the weight of skin required to hold Hydrogen in and survive living stresses requires a huge volume of Hydrogen - so yeah, Greenland-sized sounds about right >.< |

Everybody knows they'd be floating Hydrogen-filled grazers the size of Greenland in Jupiter's Atmosphere...
Or... wierd little plankton in Venus' Clouds of Sulfuric Acid >.<
Discuss; how crappy movies end up getting more attention on predicting what stuff like Aliens will be like than Modern Science does xp

I don't really know. For all we know aliens could be on Earth right now and they probally look just like us. I think movies about aliens would probally offend real aliens. It always seems like the aliens are the bad guys.

Kei-Kei89 I don't really know. For all we know aliens could be on Earth right now and they probally look just like us. Why? Why would a body that looks exactly like ours have evolved on another World completely different to this one? We already have billions of other shapes, sizes, colours, whatever, of Species on Earth as it is, many of which that live today are capable of using tools, if not nearly so well as we do. Why can't they look naturally like Dolphins? Yeah, I suppose they could try disguising themselves as a Human, but think about this for a second - do you see yourself being able to disguise yourelf as another Species? In all probability, their size and shape is nothing like ours, so they wouldn't fit into a costume (how many Human sized and shaped Animals are there on Earth now? lol, could you see yourself dressing up (convincingly) as a meerkat? XD) Then comes the mannerisms - they surely would have a completely different set of instinctual behaviours and body language, so... surely they'd never blend in? I like the idea that they visit, but not in person. Kei-Kei89 I think movies about aliens would probally offend real aliens. It always seems like the aliens are the bad guys. Yeah. That's paranoia - but again, think about this. If we found an Alien Civilisation and saw movies of theirs that made us out to be evil, the researches we sent would find it funny not offensive. That's because the people who'd actually want to go out and see them aren't the sort who are Xenophobic or easily offended, just like our Astronaughts and Cosmonaughts already. They'd be the open and friendly types - otherwise, why not send an Army instead?

They wouldn't be able to look like us unless they figured out how to change their features. There would be no point in them disguising themselves as us, be cause they wouldn't be able to communicate like us or act either. I think they would rather want to get to know us and show us that they're peaceful. I guess I was overreacting with the aliens looking like humans.

Kei-Kei89 Now that I think about it you're right. They wouldn't be able to look like us unless they figured out how to change their features. There would be no point in them disguising themselves as us, be cause they wouldn't be able to communicate like us or act either. Yeah - effectively, thy'd have to change their bodies so much that they'd be more Human than of their original Species. Now, don't get me wrong, the sort of Technology they'd need to possess in order to behave like UFOs behave is quite spectacular, so they could do it, but... As to whether or not one of their Species would do something so extreeme, we'll know more about the sort of things people do in that kind of situation when we find other Life ourselves. Kei-Kei89 I think they would rather want to get to know us and show us that they're peaceful. If, indeed, they are peacefull... Human Beings are capable of being very peacefull creatures sometimes, which is why we have such a large Civilisation in the first place. But that doesn't mean that we're all nice, or that there aren't some people that do bad things when nasty people tell them to... Space is very big. They would in all probability have a very nice Government indeed, with most of them geared towards protecting any other Species they come across in The Void and spreading peace and prosperity to every Species that's ready to recieve it. But, if one of them wants to start up a wierd cult exploring sexual fetishes with Alien Species from Earth, there must be hundreds ot trillions of places you could just hide away, where your Government can't find you... It would explain all the cows, don't you think? XD And why we haven't had any formal arrivals or anything - the main bulk of their Civilisation is probably trying it's best to make sure all the crazies don't come down and rape us all... And every so often one gets through, kidnaps some people and "experiments" with them. Kei-Kei89 I guess I was overreacting with the aliens looking like humans. Well you may still be right - like off the Movie Galaxy Quest, they might have seen our Civilisation and thought it was beautiful beyond comprehension and descided to restructure their entire lives around us, changing their bodies and minds forever so they could live amoungst us... But it would be quite hard to do is all I'm saying sweatdrop

Why would an alien want to reconstruc their entire lives around us? I think that if there are aliens out there they wouldn't want to go that far, but there could be. Just like some people seem to revolve there lives around aliens, there could be aliens that do the same.
Also I don't think all aliens want peace and equality. Out of all the planets and alien species that are probally out there one has to have a race of aliens hungry for power. Just like here on Earth there must be aleast one dictator in outerspace. The race may not stand out so other more peaceful races may not notice it.

Just like some people seem to revolve there lives around aliens, there could be aliens that do the same. Well, yeah - I mean, if we found out about an Alien Species so fantastic to our eyes that we'd never have thought it possible otherwise, surely there'd be people crazy enough to almost want to be of their Species... lol, I'm sure I'd be completely fascinated by their Culture anyway, though whether or not I'd want to BE one depends entirely on what they look like and how they behave sweatdrop Kei-Kei89 Also I don't think all aliens want peace and equality. Out of all the planets and alien species that are probally out there one has to have a race of aliens hungry for power. Just like here on Earth there must be aleast one dictator in outerspace. Yes, but how often has a Dictator ruled over all of our Civilisation in the past? How often has there been a time with no "good guys" at all? If they're creative enough to make Faster-Than-Light Drives, it should follow that each individual would be independant enough for their Society never to be entirely united on anything, which means there'd probably always be good and bad guys in a Species. Space is huge - the need for there to be evil Dictators and even for war itself is thus limited, since there is always more than enough space and materials for everybody to have. If a Species is entirely built around War, then they'd surely not work together long enough to get advanced to the point of Interstellar Travel? All we know for sure is that if they do know about us, they haven't destroyed Earth yet.... That's gotta count for something ^_^ Kei-Kei89 The race may not stand out so other more peaceful races may not notice it. Right, but the only reason a Species would Evolve to be like that would be if it made it successfull - if we spent all our time wrecking Technology instead of making it, we wouldn't get very advanced, would we? XD So if they do exist, they're either not successfull enough to pose a big threat, or... Something very nasty happened to them to turn them from an advanced, peacefull and intelligent Society... into a nasty one, that's powerfull. Let's hope we never see one of those...

I'm not saying that the race of aliens would rule over everyone, I'm saying they may have control of a small planet or two. Planets could be considered as countries. Like in World War 2 Germany took control of other countries to gain more power. Spain and France decided not to stop them because thay didn't want to start another war. Maybe other civlizations do the same thing so that they don't end up in war.
I think if a civilazation turned from kind to nasty something bad had to happen. Maybe the civilazation was destroyed by another more equally powerful one which was looking for more planets. The civilazation may have been small ones looking to be noticed by bigger civilazations.

I believe we put too much faith in the whole alien thing. We are the dominant life forms here, to our knowledge, and billions of galaxy to our left, there is another race wondering the same things we are.

Like in World War 2 Germany took control of other countries to gain more power. Erm.... Well, I don't know how Aliens work, but that almost certainly shouldn't be a problem for us. See, Asteroids hold lots of materials and there are millions of them in this System alone, and that's just the stuff in System - Earth, Mars, Venus, Jupiter.... If you take us as having 4 rocky Planets and 4 Gas Giants, that's 8 Planets overall that you can Colonise. If you can generate your power without the need for Sunlight, then you can make a Colony on a floating Rock anywhere in the System - the Kuiper Belt, or the Alien System's equivalent. There are literally millions of giant Rocks floating about that are easily big enough to be colonised ( estimated 35,000 in the Kuiper Belt that are about 100 km in diameter!!! XD) As I say, I dunno what Aliens would do, but... if it was us... practically everybody would live on Asteroids and practically everything would get built on them. Kei-Kei89 Spain and France decided not to stop them because thay didn't want to start another war. Maybe other civlizations do the same thing so that they don't end up in war. If it was just France and Spain in the World and they surrendered to Germany, there'd be no France and Spain anymore. They're still around because other Countries were in a better position to fight. But it wouldn't be like that - when your Civilisation is spread over such vast distances, millions of Colonies around every Star in your control, it becomes an impossible task to track anything down. If an evil Civilisation wants to go out and conquer everyone, it has to find them first. If it was us, it would take such an incredible amount of Manpower that nobody would bother doing it in the first place. Kei-Kei89 I think if a civilazation turned from kind to nasty something bad had to happen. Maybe the civilazation was destroyed by another more equally powerful one which was looking for more planets. The civilazation may have been small ones looking to be noticed by bigger civilazations. Again, Space is so very big that nobody in their right minds would fight over resources - there's enough in this Solar System alone to last Humanity for.... well.... forever, really. But if there was a war, for something more valuable perhaps, like technology or some religious ideal, you could get a nasty Civilisation. The problem with Space being so big is that policing what everyone does would be impossible for any type of Government we've invented so far... As I say, that's what I reckon Abductions are XD

I was watching something today that said the whole upraor about aliens was caused by the FBI. Project Muggle as it was called(I think that was how you say it) was used to see if the Soviet Union was testing nucleur weapons. The detector was a balloon with kite-like trackers on it. They say that one of the balloons got lost and landed in the desert. A person found it and thought it was a UFO.
The show was saying that we came up with aliens because we couldn't explain what the machines were that the FBI was secretly sending out.

Yeah, state education will be the death of us.
Next thing! I watching something else about the chubracabra(most likely spelled it all). It's the monster that lives in Latin America that's been killing those animals. They say that it may have been an alien's pet. They also say that we on different dimensions from other cretures and sometimes the dimensions interconnect. They say that's how they show up here. It could also mean that other life forms may live parallel to this world. I think it's a pretty good theory.

It's interesting, but it is just a legend. A very riveting legend however.
Little Green men =no
In my opinion.
