So far Mars has yet to reveal anything about whether there was a second life distinct from Earth, but it is probably unlikely. As for life elsewhere, how can anybody really know, the closest that we will all know is the telescope being currently prep for launch, even that is still a form of time travel, without knowing in actual live event locally.

^ I think one needs to differentiate between "life" and "intelligent life" here.
Given what I know, I find it possible that there was life on Mars, or maybe even is on Venus.
Micro-organisms.
A much more interesting topic than sketchy military airplane footage.

i would like to see what kind of life there is at Europa.
maybe they send something to search for life before i die.

i am believer in life at our solar system , not intelligent though.

Personally, and no offense meant, but I think this thread is comical.

Guys are up in space, looking for extra terrestrial life, traces in the sand, etc.

But we already know of one form at least of extra terrestrial life, who has gone so far as to introduce himself, saying in effect "Hi Folks, I'm here too and I made this place for you guys. I've even written you a book."

The modern reaction to that has been primarily "No, you're not there under any circumstances whatsoever, and no you didn't make anything, so shut up and go away!":rolleyes:

I must have missed that one... before I was born perhaps.

Just a friendly reminder of the slippery slope leading to rabbit holes...

While it certainly still exists in social circles (and it sucks!) aren't we glad that rumour and hearsay are at least inadmissible in court? It wasn't very long ago that thousands were burned at the stake and worse just because of gossip and rumor. I fact there are STILL places in the world where alleging witchcraft leads to a death sentence, STILL Flat Earthers, STILL belief in Angels and Demons, and visiting aliens with anal fixations who apparently understand FTL Interstellar Travel but are fascinated with cow guts etc etc etc. C'mon guys.

Cow guts may be a delicacy on Uranus...

Depends on how old you are.:rolleyes:

Ran into this recently: https://skyhub.org/index.html

They feed that to their Bigfoots.
The reason they're sighted mostly in the south is for quality mountain oysters for themselves

I am confident that there are many UFOs--that is, unidentified flying objects.

Indeed, back in the 1960s, when I was a young 'un, radio host Harv Morgan, who worked for KYW before it moved from Cleveland to Philadelphia and who had a week-nightly show, devoted one night a week to "UFOlogists." (I used to listen to it on the skip with the transistor radio that my parents gave me for Christmas back when transistor radios were the hot new thing.)

I am also confident that any species intelligent enough to develop interstellar flight would be intelligent enough to avoid human beings and their environs for the poisonous hate-full pestilence that we are.

So far the best case info I've seen is very recent and are the follow-ups on the Pentagon leak. The guy responsible for much of the good stuff is Luis Elozondo who was briefly at the head of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) which was formed to gather and analyze UFO data such as the 3 main leaked videos. He left that organization because of the elitist and often literally medieval attitudes of many government officials regarding UFO data. Some govt. officials actually told him it was "hands off" because UFOs "are obviously demonic in nature". <facepalm>

Elizondo does NOT conclude these sightings, and they literally happen every day, are not rare and isolated, are aliens. He has a military background so his concern and interest is purely national security and the nature of what qualifies for "Top Secret". Since he left and revealed his data and experiences, several pilots have come forth and talked rather openly about their similar concerns, experiences and even shared full color photos taken in daylight (not fuzzy blips). To all of them, whatever they are, they do things our best aircraft cannot do AND they fly openly in our airspace so they are the definition of at the very least "possible threat" exactly because they are commonplace and we have no idea what they are or how what they do is even possible, and that includes instantaneous disappearance in addition to maneuvers at G-Levels that would turn us to mush and have no apparent physical contact with air molecules.

I think it is extremely important to resist the urge to go all Sci Fi and assume the phenomena are "aliens" exactly because we truly need to identify what so far is unidentified, especially now that we know for a fact that such sightings happen almost daily and in broad daylight.

This does have the real potential to be actually paradigm-changing, historical milestone level of importance to understand what this is but we won't get there while so many leap into woo. Hard, verifiable facts gentlemen, please.

Hard verifiable facts …

One hard verifiable fact here is that daily UFO sightings only happen in the Excited States. There is a low budget section for that sort of thing.As far as I am aware, nobody has ever raised UFOs (much less daily sightings) at an EU level.

There have been more reported sightings of the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, or of Moving Statues in the 1980s & 1990s than UFOs.But the Excited States is obviously in a different league. I don't want promotion to that league, btw.

These (moving statues)were instances when solid statues of solid materials at Catholic Pilgrimage Sites were seen to move their head, of have a tear in their eye, and I'm sure many derisory youtube videos exist. I suffered from whiplash at the time, and after staring up for 2 hours with the blood supply restricted, many hallucinations were probable, more than possible. But any non-miraculous theories were cast aside as insults. The whole thing vanished as suddenly as it started around the beginning of the paedophilia scandals.

That's it. "Unidentified" does not equal "mysterious".

But I feel a little like a spoilsport saying that, because why try to dissuade people from the childlike joy they might feel at the possibility (however remote) that an unidentified flying object might indeed be alien in origin...
:redface:

To be fair Elizondo doesn't rule out aliens or even multi-dimensional possibilities. He just insists that we are not yet anywhere close to that point of drawing ANY conclusions. We simply need to do the serious, focused work to get there because whatever it is it is of extreme importance regardless.
