Well it seems there is a challenger. Someone that believes aliens visit earth all the time to kidnap people and experiment on them. I had to dig quite deep to find this thread, and although the chat about aliens died pretty quickly, it seems there is someone on this site that can reinvigorate it.
That someone is me.
War and sickness are the only two I can come up with.
This is where you apply the human thought process. The only reasons you can think of are irrelevant to an alien civilization. They have things going on we could never begin to understand. Who knows why they do what they do.
If WE found another planet out there and the inhabitants were much less advanced, what do you think we would do?Do you think we might strip that planet of all it's resources to feed our technological advancements? If the inhabitants fought back do you think we'd destroy them?
Absolutely positively yes to all of those, IF the U.S. government has anything to do with it. You see what they do here on our own planet. They would go stark raving mad with a newly discovered, easily manipulated race of whatevers. If they fought back then they would annhialate them just like they did the Native Americans so long ago when "The New World" was discovered on the other side of the ocean.
You want to see aliens? look no further than our own planet and the creatures that live within it. Ants, sharks, birds etc, are these not what life on other planets could be like? In other words, not intelligent enough to see past their next meal
These are not aliens when they are on our planet, however I do not see why there could not be these same things on other planets. It is said that most alien species resemble life on Earth.
The odds of there being life even close to our galaxy are extremely high. Let alone talking about life intelligent enough to travel millions of light years just to kidnap a few people for pointless experiments
This is the most narrow minded statement I have ever heard. How do you know what is possible within our own galaxy? The Milky Way houses not just our solar system, but at least 200 billion more stars, and you're saying there is no way there is life there other than us? Are you sure you're not holed up in Texas somewhere with President Bush and his right wing religous fanatics? That has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
How do you know how far they travel to get here? For all we know they may be coming from Mars. There have been hundreds of pictures recently released of the surface of Mars showing many things that are not natural. Google "Mars Anomales" and see for yourself. You think the experiments are pointless. You assume they travel here just for shits and giggles? I doubt that they would abduct people and do whatever they do if their was no point. Maybe they need something from us, who knows. I don't claim to have all these answers, I just believe that they have been here and continue to come here.
To travel those sort of distances they would need to use worm holes, stabilised worm holes; as to create something like this takes the power equivilent to something like what our sun produces.
Assuming that they are traveling great distances, how do you know what they need to do? Now you are applying human limitations to them. Maybe they know something we haven't figured out yet about propulsion. Like I said before, they probably have a couple billion, or million, or thousand years on us in terms of evolution. Either way, they obviously
(in my opinion) are getting here somehow.
Also why have people's accounts of these aliens changed to match movie depictions of these aliens? In the 1950's it was little green men that look like something out of a 50's sci fi movie, 60's again images followed what people were seeing in the movies. now we've got the modernised aliens, how come nobody gets kidnapped by little green men anymore?
The very first reported case of abduction was Sep. 19 1961 by Betty and Barney Hill. They described their abductors as "Small beings with whitish skin and cat like eyes". There have never been ANY reports of abductions by "little green men". That was 1950's Hollywood slang. Are you that old? Do your homework before blurting statements.
