Absolutely spot on with the highlighted bit. There is some laughable "evidence" including video/stills/ eye witness accounts which mention silver saucer spaceships with port holes and little green men. Personally, I disregard 99% of "witnesses" (past and present) as hoaxers, attention seekers, or simply people suffering from delusion.DB10GOONER wrote:Top Londoner and olgit, you misinterpret my words... what I mean is that in the vast majority of UFO lore that has existed since the 50's the public and media perception seems to be that visiting aliens look similar to us (1 head, 2 arms, 2 eyes, 2 legs, upright bipedal gait) and use similar technology (capable of movement through our oxygen rich atmosphere, use of jet-type engines and other fuel burning propulsion systems, the ability to hover etc).olgitgooner wrote:It's also ludicrous to assume that any alien race (possibly millions of years older than man) would be confined to using technology which is "basically similar to ours".DB10GOONER wrote:Agreed.

I feel we are making the aliens fit our preconceived idea of what aliens should look like and what their tech should be like, heavily influenced by comic books and film...
The odds are that any alien visitors (if they ever did visit) might well be totally unrecognisable to us as lifeforms...
So. How are things on Planet Cannabis?I Hate Hleb wrote:Alien life; God - it's all bollocks made up by man!!![]()

I wouldn't wish Rupert Murdoch on my worst ET.Top Londoner wrote:"The human race is not yet intelligent enough to understand all that happens around us".
I agree Oldgit.
What with an indoctrination of state education and dumbing down on television and main stream media, from birth. Being aware is something that comes with experience imo.
I just hope that other life forms do not have an equivalent of a Rupert Murdoch among them.

Your restricting yourself to Newtonian principles of Motion and our own views of time ,here DBAgreed. But it is also ludicrous to think that an alien race could travel the light years involved using technology that is basically very similar to ours! I reckon they are out there, but I don't believe they are regularly visiting us. The logistics do not add up.
As explained above, I'm NOT saying they use our tech, or that they would be imited because they use our type of tech. I'm saying that the majority of reports of sightings make the sighting fit our tech knowledge, that most people are misconstruing natural phemonena based on their preconceived ideas of what Alien tech would look and act like, influenced by cultural iconography in films and comic books.
