It is also a mathematical impossibility that there is not another earth / solar system exactly the same as ours. If you break down our solar system to its smallest components the amount of space it would take for that pattern to have to be repeated / to run out of other possible combinations is not large within the context of the size of universe.

It is quite possible that by the time we receive a signal from intelligent alien life that they may well be long extinct, such is the size of the known universe and the possible distances a signal might have to travel.

Personally I believe there is quite likely other intelligent life in the universe and certainly life of some description (bacterial or other single cell) on many other planets.

We have a Peter Pan fantasy to meet, greet and then destroy the little green men. The only place alien species will be seen in our galaxy is in Hollywood or down the Seven Sisters.

The elite among humanity know very little more than us. Ask Roly.

I've never seen a ufo myself. I do, however know an RAF pilot who saw one over the north Atlantic. The rest of the Nimrod crew also saw it. He never reported it in. This guy is not the kind of man given to flights of fancy(pun intended). He only mentioned it to me on one occassion and then clammed up.

I'm fairly sure that most ufo sightings can be explained away by natural phenomena/poor eyesight/mis-perception/hoaxes.

I'm also fairly sure that many ufo reports cannot be explained away. Especially when those reports come from highly trained, and highly respected, military witnesses.

The link at the bottom is about the Disclosure Project. Headed up by an American doctor. Backed up with over 200 witnesses (who are prepared to testify before US Congress) and a huge amount of official documents/reports. The idea is to get their government to release suppressed information about ufo reports. It goes on for hours, but it's worth a quick scan of the various witness stories.

Take it, or leave it, I'm wondering how many of us believe in UFOs, and how many think it's a lot of old bollocks?
