Do you believe in UFOs?

Actually, I don't believe in it either.

A friend posted this video link on Facebook and I started to wonder about most of these seems quite fake (and you know how the media got so hyped up on these findings).

But there are a few of the sighting incident from the clip that seems nearly impossible to fabricate (like the clip from Jerusalem), which has got me thinking.

The universe is so big and the speed of light is so slow that, from a human perspective, the universe is set in concrete. And it is somewhere between unlikely and impossible for flying saucers to be zipping around in concrete.

On the other hand we have been left bereft. The gods have left us and ascended into heaven, like Jesus or Mohammed, leaving us behind, but with a promise to return. So we pine and look to the skies looking for any sign of their return. And guess what, we see what we are looking for.

Yes. The can use ourselves as reference that the universe is capable of sustaining some form of life. To think we're in any way some type of unique anomaly just seems absurd. The universe is seemingly endless.

Yes I do believe some objects that fly can be unidentified.

I truly, truly believe that there are objects that are both flying and unidentified.

Ha! Creepy video.

Idk, I think if "Extra Dimensional" beings really do exist, they probably have a lot better things to fuck with than us.

If they were after the resources we have, why wait until we are a more advanced and populated species? Seems inefficient.

If they really are that advanced, why did it take us sending something into space for us to be on their radar? It isn't like we would have traveled so far beyond our own space at that time that this would have suddenly caught their attention. It isn't like they couldn't have avoided contact.

Certainly, if they are as advanced as implied, why would they seek to control our obviously inferior and non threatening species?

A lot of it doesn't make sense.

yes. they are light years away and have never been anywhere close to our solar system. also, they are very closely related to us through their physical make up. i also believe know they and us will meet simultaneously and not one well more advanced than the other/s in order to reach the other/s first.
i also found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Design#Concepts

one thing that throws me off is when europeans overwhelmed the indians in america among other examples, which conflicts with this>> " they and us will meet simultaneously and not one well more advanced than the other/s in order to reach the other/s first."
i'm kinda torn there:)

Difference between Europeans and Indians, nothing. Same species, same resources, competition, greed.

Difference between us and aliens, Comes From Completely Different Worlds! Advanced intelligence.

@ OP

Is your question deliberately simple or are you actually trying to get at whether TypC members believe in intelligent alien life forms?

The Prime Directive of course.

Actually a more interesting case than modern UFO sightings to me is the apparent familiarity with them in the past. What are we to make of old renaissance paintings with spaceships in them? Were they a product of imagination.. maybe some speculative interpretation of angels? Perhaps angels who preferred some alternative design in their carriages and chariots. Or were these painters simply trying to say.. "Umm, yeah, I don't what this is, but I witnessed it, and I'm just going to let you decide."

I was about to say something along these lines.

The universe is ginormous. It would be unreasonable, in my opinion, to rule out the possibility.

On the other hand, no I don't think I've been ever abducted and raped with an anal probe, either.
