Recently since wrinkles made that 2012 theory topic, I have been intrigued to research about Ufo's. I have come to the conclusion that yes, Ufo's are indeed real. That doesn't mean that they have anything to do with aliens or whatnot. They are simply an unidentified flying object. But usually when I think of Ufo's I think aliens, and usually thats the same for a lot of people. I have found a couple of videos of great footage of Ufo Sightings. Discuss on what you think.

I'm a skeptic. Pretty much every photo or footage of supposed "alien spacecraft" can be explained by some fluke of the image. I understand not all of them claim for the ufo to be alien in origin, but I don't really even believe that we have that kind of advanced technology. It is much more likely that there is some kind of flaw in the footage, or it's a hoax.
I believe that there IS intelligent life that traverses the universe with some kind of ship, but I'm not a fan of the supposed sightings or evidence (crop circles, etc.) that pop up on the news every so often.
aliens? do they exists...? bum bum BUM!

No macroorganisms exist in the known universe, other than on Sol. To suggest otherwise without proof would be stupid. Most people know that 98% of UFO sightings, become known. None of them are from outer space origin.
It's a statistical certainty that aliens exist. Have they ever visited Earth, on the other hand? Extremely unlikely.

I agree with this. I didn't mean for my post above to sound like I didn't believe in the possibility of intelligent life on other planets. I just don't think they have ever visited Earth. Considering the immensly vast reaches of space, it is, as you say, extremely unlikely.
I have proof they are real.

I feel like making screen shots today. I'm so bored. Help me.
I don't believe complex life is out there, I don't think any other life will visit Earth.

and thus i have to say i don't agree with your statement that other lifeforms have never visited our earth, if there are any out there. I believe there are probably UFO's out there, and so-called "aliens". the chance that there isn't is so slim. but for something to never have visited earth might be slim but it also might be huge depending on how you look. Earth has been around for a long time in our standards. Millions of years. Whose not to say that something has stopped here while the cavemen or even dinosaurs were here, hell, even before the dinosaurs when our planet was being born. I have listened to people say that they don't believe that there isn't life out there, and i can see where they come from, but i think that there is life out there, and possibly life intelligent enough to possibly create something that could make it to earth. But, who isn't to say that there isn't anything else on this planet moving at our speed of light, walking through us unaware of us eh? there are just so many possibilities that people spend their life on such a topic

They'd eventually crash into something, then theyll see >:( I'm thinking there might be non organic lifeforms out there that are fighting for some sort of cube that gives them life. Also they can turn into cars!
I believe in another intellegent life form out in space, yes.
I personally don't see UFO's as aliens flying around in some space shuttle, rather a much different aerial phenomenon. UFO stands for "Unidentified flying object" which generally means anything that is, simply put, unidentified to the observer. With that in mind, a UFO can be just about everything you find odd (you had never seen it before) floating up in the sky - Planets, spaceships, stars... ect.
There is bound to be another civilization of intelligent people within our universe.

I doubt it. Think of the diverse life on our planet. Intelligence isn't a main characteristic amonst the organisms.

I'm saying there will probably be a planet like us. Since the universe is somewhat near infinite, there is most likely a planet with organisms that look like stick people.
The human race must be arrogant to think that we are the highest Intelligent life form.. i dont believe that aliens have visited Earth but it doesnt meen they dont exsist.. They are out there.. but 2 far for them to visit :P

We don't have to be arrogant, we just have to be.

I really don't think you understand the vast time scales and distances involved here. Yes, the Universe has been around long enough for several intelligent space faring civilizations to emerge (statistically). But, there has also been enough time for those same civiliations to fall. AND, I do not believe there has been enough time for it to be statistically probable that one of those civilizations set out at around the exact time period they would have needed to leave in order to make it to Earth during our modern era. To use an analogy, it would be like threading a needle the size of an atom. They would have needed to leave some hundreds of millions of years ago... maybe longer. If they were off by even a few hundred thousand we would never know. Not to mention how they would even find Earth...

thus is true, but if a race has somehow managed to get close to light speed that time slows down for them relative to us, then they could possibly find us, and if that is the case, then they might have the technology to find a planet, and see it with the possibility of detecting life on it. We can only see galaxies and estimate at what we think might be a planet orbiting a star (by noticing a slight wobble in the star from the gravity of the planet moving the star), but who is to say that either of us is correct, we can only guess. Thats why science is amazing. but as even then, there could be something on earth right now watching us while they aren't visible to us. never know

That's... not quite how it works. Yes, if they are moving at relativistic speeds time for them would move slower than it would for us. But, on the scale we're talking about, they could potentially bypass our entire civilization in a manner of centuries in their time frame. With that in mind, and the fact that they would probably be spending much more time than that at those speeds (because of how far away they would be) it's just not likely at all. Plus, they can't use that effect while they're searching for our planet. They would have to find our planet before hand, or find all possible candidates of planets with intelligent life on them, and then travel to each one. That would increase the travel time immensely because for each planet they go to they would have to ramp up to near light speeds for the first half of the trip, and then ramp down their speed for the second half of the trip at the same rate (because otherwise if they stopped from near light speed down to zero too quickly they would kill themselves with G forces).
