Atheists: Do you believe UFO Phenomenon?

No, I do not believe aliens have visited earth; however, life on other planets is highly probable..

What I like is when I read the remarks that simply elude to, " Well, man kind has not discovered this yet so nobody else has either." Pompous in my opinion. People said something similar in the past about air breaks, motion pictures, air planes, and so on. That it was impossible to do any of it and more. Science is coming up with all sorts of technology that would be deemed impossible even one year ago.

The vastness of space makes it probable enough that aliens might exist left with the same chances that life exists on earth. If it can happen once, it is possible to happen again. Then who is to say we were the first ones it happened to?

The case for aliens is marred by fakers who get caught trying to imitate UFO proof for whatever reason. Also, tinfoil army personnel who advocate the thought of UFOs discredit the idea as well do to their radical thinking and behavior all wile listening to fiction writers talking about their ideas as if it were cold hard facts. (NOTE: Not everyone who believes in UFOs have funky hair, extra tinfoil lying around, or has every track of David Ike.)

More importantly, what do you think the "Phenomenon" is?

Do I believe in UFOs? Definition is U.S. acronym for "Unidentified Flying Object", UK term is different. Yes, until you have squinted at a fuzzy blur in the sky for sufficient time to analyse what it is, it will remain a UFO.

Do I believe they are all Alien Space Craft? Heck no! Get away from me you loony.

Do I believe *some* of them *may* be space craft from other worlds? Maybe.

As a previous answerer stated, for the trip to be worth-while, you have to travel faster than the speed of light. Our current understanding of such "physics" is under constant flux, but the probability is that the laws of "time" will be drastic altered when traveling at such speeds.

Whether you take the route of cryogenics and avoid breaking the speed of light, or travel "at" or "faster than" the speed of light, a round trip to the nearest solar system will take several millennia. Therefore, in order to get home before your species has evolved into something completely different requires "time manipulation".

If you can travel to another solar system, then you *must* be able to manipulate *time*, because the simple act of traveling fast enough to get there in less than 10 centuries will "manipulate time"... in fact, we can, and have proven that travelling around the globe on a super-sonic aircraft alters your time relative to someone standing still.

So, it's just as likely that they are FTL Terrestrial vehicles from a future time!

It's not worth considering *what* they may be, other than UFOs until we have the ability to "identify" them.

Some of them are so poorly documented, we will probably never know what they where, any more than we know what the Isle of Atlantis or the "Great Flood" was. Both too frequently documented in antiquity to be ignored, and both so convoluted by the passage of time and lack of scientific descriptives by observers that they could well be one of several presently known locations and archaeologically evident events.

Do I believe there are species as intelligent and technologically advanced as humans on other planets? No. I believe we are probably the most stupid, technological backwater of the galaxy, never mind the rest of the universe. ;)

I'm sure there are species out there who could (where they present) tell us exactly what every UFO was the moment they saw it. The question is, why would they bother coming here? And why now? I don't believe we are that interesting, unless they have come to view earth and it's primitive species as a "nature reserve" to visit for a holiday and remember how their worlds used to be before they made them better.

This planet is but a nursery for different, antagonistic species planted here in order to create a race that would comprise the genetics of a certain quadrant of this, what humans term "galaxy."

It is but one of an exponentially incomprehensible number of such "genetic gardens" if you will that has been taking place for an equally incomprehensible number of ages....

We need to get over ourselves and understand that we are not that unique...

Apart from the obvious lack of evidence for other than unidentifiable flying objects there is the inevitable finances. Regardless of the level of sophistication attained by another civilization it will still involve risk time and money to accomplish trips to earth why does nobody take this simple fact into account when flying UFO theories, put simply, WHY

I think it's incredibly arrogant of us to believe we are the only intelligent life in this vast universe.

Do they visit us as regularly as all this seems to point to? I doubt it very much. Why would they want to? We're just insignificant little specks hurtling through space on a little blue planet in the tail of the spiral of our little galaxy. A backwater, if you will, bumfuckedegypt, the middle of nowhere with nothing to really offer or draw a species advanced enough to know we are here.

I think it's so ignorant when people say they don't believe in UFOs.

I haven't even bothered to check the evidence.

But why wouldn't there be UFOs?

Do you think that we're the only living species in the universe?

The other planets could be more technologically advanced.

There isn't definitive evidence for the existence of extraterrestrials, but simple logic and an understanding of the sheer vastness of the universe really makes it kind of ridiculous to assume that Earth is the sole location for life anywhere.

I have no reason to not think that the vast majority of this is just military black projects.

As far as we can tell there is no way to break light speed in a spacecraft. That alone makes it impossible that aliens from out of the Solar System are making regular visits.

I highly doubt aliens invented faster than light technology already.That would be needed to even get to Earth.Or a really efficient cyro tank thing.
