It possible! The world is full of phenomenal things

Many other separate flying saucer witnesses have said the objects they witnessed appeared to wobble as well, so things aren't always how you think they should be.

Yes, you're right, the ʻOumuamua object certainly caused a stir too.
I agree and it is possible!

Where are your references, then? Gives us something to refer to to check ourselves. Trusted sources, not personal blogs or sites. Until then, all these "sightings" and witnesses are fake and hoax.

Oh, so your mind is already made up having done zero research yourself? Yes, it's typical. Do some research. Good luck.

Did you read about the Harvard professor and how the scientific community criticized him about his papers on Oumuamua? And he is a Harvard professor, and the object is talking about manifests strange behavior that doesn't comply to the natural causes and most scientists admit that, unlike this fake video that is very clearly a hoax to those who look objectively. I know I would find many writings about these hoaxes and fake sightings, but I don't read from anyone and from any source. I follow critical thinking and the scientific method in viewing the world, and not superficiality and emotions and wishful thinking. The fact that you didn't cite any source tells me that you know that the sources are not trusted, or you are aware of none, and just like the idea that we are not alone, and that we have been visited by so called aliens.

I'm not sure Buffy01. They seem to be tied in with people who are making them but there are also a lot of unanswered questions, as well. So, I'm not sure at this stage, Buffy01.

Well, there you go again. There are professors who have come forward with their flying saucer accounts as well but you wouldn't know that because you haven't done any research. You make too many assumptions for me, sorry. Just do your own research. It's really quite easy and also the best way, imo, to determine anything. Now go and do your research and remember: 'Condemnation before investigation is the highest form of ignorance.' Good luck in your quest.

Please don't argue guys, I don't want this thread to be closed. It was only meant for personal opinions and experiences, no arguments about whether this is scientifically real or not.


I shouldn't really be reading this thread anyway. It's night and I'm home alone, I'm a little scared already, I need to distract.

I don't condemn anyone. I just don't accept believing in something isn't real because I want to believe. The only ignorant in this is one who believes in these hoaxes and accounts without any verifiable evidence. One professor making a claim doesn't mean it's true. The scientific community doesn't agree with this professor. This is what is important. We used to create justifications for things, only to turn out that these things can be explained by the law of physics. Of course, if you heard someone say he saw aliens, how could you verify his/her account? You cannot, and these people know or don't if they are hallucinating. I encourage you to be more critical in what you accept.

I just want to emphasize denying these sightings, doesn't mean I don't believe any form of life is not possible. On the contrary, I think primitive life is everywhere, although I don't believe intelligent life is very likely. However, these accounts are just wishful. The strangest thing is that most if not all of them occur in the US, and these aliens only visit the US

There are several YouTube videos on the topic, featuring well-established scientists and experts on the topic like this one, or this one.

I used to believe heavily in aliens, ghosts, and conspiracy theories. Reading about that stuff was a huge hobby of mine, for years. I used to have an entire bookcase on ufology and cryptozoology and the paranormal. I then read about sleep paralysis and what is actually happening when I am sleeping, and now I’m pretty skeptical about everything. That stuff scares me now. All I have to do is think of the words “Alien Abductions” and I’ll sometimes leave the room if I’m alone and it’s dark.

If I feel like scaring the daylights out of myself I’ll go on Askreddit Scary. That usually results in a night or two with me sleeping with the light on in my room.

I’m more into Mandela Effects (which I don’t really believe in) and lost media now.

I believe the possibility that we are not alone in this universe. However if there is intelligent life out there they would have to have scientific abilities that we can not at this time wrap our heads around based on the laws of physics that we have now. The other thing I thought about... lets just say there are aliens or intelligent life forms out there. Who's to say they are friendly? Who's to say they would visit and greet us with gifts and smiles? I would be more concerned with intelligent life being interested in our resources or some other nefarious plan. But again, I do not believe we are equipped enough to grasp or understand the science behind other lifeforms if they do indeed exist. At the same time I wonder why so many people all seemed to have experienced similar things?

Stephen Hawking was always concerned of the existence of intelligent lifeforms out there. If we were visited by aliens, it could be our dooms day because they would be way more advanced technologically.

I am not interested in other lifeforms, and for me, keep them away if they exist. What I am interested in is harnessing the energy and resources in our solar system, but before that let's try to make life on Earth more peaceful and habitable place to live.

Carl Sagan has a beautiful contemplation about our place in the Universe, and it gives perspective. We live on a speck of dust in an infinite Universe, with no sign of life anywhere else so far, which means we are lucky (or not), yet we think we are important, and every group tries to destroy another because of some differences. This is the video for those who are interested.

If there were aliens out there more intelligent than us, then I honestly doubt they would bother with us or our resources. I'm pretty sure an intelligent advanced alien could find better resources on other planets that we wouldn't have the tech or resources to even reach, and wouldn't bother with us. Kinda like we don't bother with ants and cockroaches that don't get in our way.

But yeah, with millions of planets and billions of stars that our known to us (imagine what is unknown), the probability of at least some life not existing is practically null. Even if there aren't any other intelligent lifeforms, there is bound to be other life in earlier stages of evolution existing somewhere. A documentary that I saw awhile back (forgot it's name) brought up a good point of the possibility of intelligent life evolving very differently to suit their planet's environment. The documentary gave an example of sea creatures with intelligence comparable to humans on a planet with mostly water, but can also temporarily survive on land, walking on tentacle like limbs. Said sea creature used in the example also lacks our speech patterns, and instead communicates using sound.

That sounds like a good possibility one that I never thought about!
