Do you believe in Aliens?
Just finished reading a book called 'The Uninvited'. It's about the Coombs family who experienced alien activity and visitations on their farm in 1977 in Wales, UK.
It was ok. After that I found a link to a BBC series called Britain's Closest Encounters.
also, does anyone remember that budget made movie about aliens visiting these people in America? It was shot in a Blair Witch style with a home video camera. I really want to see it again. Just cant remember what it was called. I remember two guys see some aliens experimenting on cows or something and the aliens look up and shoot one of them with the laser beam then the dudes run off.
I'm interested in the paranormal, but not sure I beleive everything I read and hear about.
how about you?

Many of the UFOs can be explained as natural occurances but the more believable ones could very well be government creaded crafts or weapons of some kind. However, they could also be alien space ships. I'm a very open minded person. I take in all the theories and put them together to form my own conclusions but don't really stick to them untill I believe they are fact.
I'm not sure what the movie is you're talking about but it sounds cool.
As for paranormal stuff. I'm open minded about that too. I'm also very interested in it. Ghosts, Aliens, Big Foot, Loch Ness Monster, you name it. I find them all very fascinating. But I'm not fully convinced that any of them exist. Although I'm fully open to the possiblity that they do.
I found that movie I was talking about:

It s a bit cheesey now I'm older and make films of my own, but still, not bad. Re-watching it now as I speak. I wonder if the guys who made The Blair Witch Project were influenced by this movie??? After all it seems it came out before TBW and had they done some internet marketing they might of made big bucks?
Okay, okay, joking aside! I wouldn't be surprised if there is some kind of life far, far out there, way, way beyond what we know.
Do I believe that aliens have visited Earth? Absolutely not.
Cloverfield. Although that's not the title Lonnie is thinking of as it's neither low budget, involves cows or even features an alien lifeform (the creatures in Cloverfield came from the deepest depths of our ocean). I love Cloverfield so much that I own both the single disc, plus the double disc DVDs, as well as the Blu-ray version. I get a llittle tired of people slagging off something that means so much to me but to each their own and all that.
As Lonnie stated the film he was thinking of was 1998's Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County, which actually beat the Blair Witch to kick starting the popularity of the captured footage horror genre that is so prevalent today. It's gone on to gain something of a cult following.
To answer your question Lonnie, The Blair Witch Project was released during '99, meaning that Alien Abduction came out the previous year but both film would have been in pre-preduction / production at roughly the same time so Blair Witch wouldn't have ripped off Alien Abduction in any way. None the less, it must have been frustrating for the makers of Alien Abduction to see Blair Witch get all the praise and kudos a year after the fact.
That's it, exactly. There might well be another species that somehow resembles us out there. But of course, they're only a blip on the radar of time, will exist only for some thousands of years just like we do, and they are so incredibly far away from us that there is no possiblity whatsoever that we might see them one day.
Unless they develop worm hole technology!
yep this is how I think too.
I would pray not as if their technology is that advanced and their knowledge that great then imagine what they may do with us when they find a bunch of relative primitives on our planet ripe with resources.
Just look at what the Europeans did when they discovered America and the Native-Indians who resided there. And that was the same species!
I would imagine that there are countless lifeforms out in the far reaches of space and those that are intelligent are most likely pondering and debating whether they themselves are alone in this universe. It's strange to think of ourselves as the weird alien species but to many other lifeforms that's exactly what we would be.
Just like one of my fave Justice Leauge storys Starcrossed where the
What about other weird stuff? Anyone here believe in ghosts or faith healing or bigfoot?
Mine escaped the giant block of ice I had him in and ran away.
In the Roswell "they've visited us and the lack of media coverage is all a big conspiracy" sense, nah.
Nope, nope, and nope.
Any so called evidence for the above has been debunked repeatably by that kooky concept known as science. I understand the human need to believe in such things because having a sense of mystery can provide us with a firm belief that our lives have a great purpose in the grand scheme of things.
Reading paranormal and conspiracy sites gives me a thrill, a sense of awe and wonderment.
Reading various scientific studies as to the actual explanations for such theories brings me straight back to reality with a depressing thud.
However, I would rather be in the know than to be in a continual state of ignorant bliss. Of course I fully understand why those who choose to be in denial do so, it can make life more bearable.
Not really, it's just my two cents on the whole paranormal question. It's not aimed at anybody in particular, it's just my opnion in response to a question and isn't that what a forum is all about?
So there...
Aliens? You've gotta be kiddin' me.
Yes i watched that program a year or two ago.
some of the encounters are spooky...
To quote Monty Python's The Meaning of Life...
"... pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth."
Aliens that come to Earth in secret to anally probe us, no.
I sure do hope that we invent warp drives, hyperdrives, or discover a Prothean mass relay in my lifetime though.
Not gonna to happen, at least not until the Governments of this world unite and they take the excessive funding that goes towards the various military factions and reinvest in the space programme.
Like I said; not gonna happen.
I know we only have a mere 106 years until the first FTL JumpShip is built, according to BattleTech.
I haven't actually seen Cloverfield, I thought it was gunna stink from the feedback I got from mates. But then again, I should see it for myself. You reckon its worth a watch then? Is it a H.P Lovecraft type sea monster?
Ah ok thanks for the info. I remember another budget film called The Last Broadcast which I hated to be honest lol. The ending was weak.
Where in England are you from? I'm from Cambridge and surrounding areas.
As for me. I can honestly say that its one of my top ten favortie movies of all times. (That list is still being worked on but I'm sure cloverfield would make it to the top ten)
I made these after seeing the movie. lol I don't have photoshop so it looks weird. But this is how much i was into the movie

First, given the number of planets that we can observe and the number about which (namely Earth) is inhabitable, there is some sort of formula which extrapolates to calculate how many habitable planets there may likely be in all the star systems in all the galaxies in all the universe. This figure- the probability of other habitable planets in the universe- is very likely indeed.
Then, we can discuss how many of those planets which is capable of sustaining life actually is sustaining life at present.
Further, of those life sustaining planets is the probability by which a certain percentage is sustaining intelligent or sentient life.
Of that value is the probability of a percentage of life out there whose level of technology is equal to our own.
Of that value is the probability of a percentage of life out there whose level of technology exceeds our own to the point of being able to contact us remotely.
Of that value is the probability of a percentage of life out there who has the capability of traveling to other distant star systems from theirs.
Of that value is the probability of a percentage of life out there who would be close enough or care enough to bother coming to ours.
While the first value in all of this (the probability of other habitable planets) may indeed be very high, the last value (the probability of aliens from distant planets visiting us) is very, very VERY infinitesimally low.
Not only this, but my own personal experience with UFO sightings:
Once upon a time, I was watching a show called Sightings which talks about aliens and ghosts and such. During one particular episode, a group of various people were being interviewed about their witnessing what they believed to be an alien spacecraft in the sky. They all described this alien craft as big, black, boomerang-shaped, and made no noise whatsoever as it slowly flew over them.
Fast forward to the day when I went to take the ASVAB test (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) which was being administered at a military base. While there, I saw a craft in the sky: it was big, black, boomerang-shaped and made absolutely no noise unless it was taking off or landing. What did I see?
A B-2 Stealth Bomber.
That's right, folks. I have personal experience of making an on-the-spot realization that a once-classified military aircraft I was currently watching had been mistaken by a lot of people for being an alien spaceship.
There are no aliens from outer space visiting us. The likelihood that they would or even could is extremely low, and even if they (hypothetically) did, why would they only bother people and places in extremely rural areas?
April 5, 2063. Created using parts from a nuclear missile shortly after the Third World War, and aided in its construction by people from the future.
Hahaha. Come on Honda. Get your act together.
Oh. First Contact. Right.
Ugh.
