Do you believe in Aliens?

[Lonnie]

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?

I believe in Aliens. But by that I mean that I believe there are other forms of life out there in space. I think it's more possible to find forms of plant life or micro organisms than fully devolped species simular to humans.

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.

[Lonnie]

I'm open minded too to any possibilites.

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?

I can believe there is intelligent life in space but don't believe they have visited Earth as they are millions of lightyears away.

[DAISHI]

Maybe they've developed a version of the Alcubierre Drive.

[Magic Emperor]

I do believe that aliens are very real, though I think that's kind of an insensitive way to describe foreigners.

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.

[Giant Tope]

I would say that there is a strong possibility of non-earthly life out there, yeah, but until there's proof I don't see a reason to believe it.

[Davies]

Do I believe in aliens? Absolutely.
Do I believe that aliens have visited Earth? Absolutely not.

The movie you're referring to sucked, but I think you're referring to that monster movie, can't remember the name of it. It had that giant monster at the end and those little ones in the subway...anyone??

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.

Sorry Davies, was arguing with a metal head at the time. Each to their own.

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 Thanagarians took over Earth and planed to use it as part of a chain to whipe out there enamys and win a galatic war but would have resluted in Earth being blown up

[doodinthemood]

yeah, but as most above, only in the "it's probable but irrelevant" sense.

What about other weird stuff? Anyone here believe in ghosts or faith healing or bigfoot?

[Sisyphus]

In the "of course life exists elsewhere" sense, sure.

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.
