Do you believe those real-life aliens with the gray skin and black eyes exist?

[CyberCubed]

So at this point I think most people agree there is other life in the universe even though we've never found it yet. Whether it just be bacteria, or animals or insects...most people agree there is life out there somewhere.

However this thread is about the "intelligent" aliens who have supposedly been visiting earth for thousands of years. We all know what they look like. The small grey beings with huge black eyes and domed heads. They're the most common agreed upon look as to what "real" aliens actually look like.

Do you believe in those real-life aliens? You can google them and see hundreds of art sketches of what they look like.

[Prowler]

Nope. That's just how us humans imagine them to be like. And I doubt they all have the same flyer sauces either. For all we know, other planets might be similar to ours in terms of political structure(many nations, languages, etc.) or even something completely different.

[IndigoErth]

Nah, those aren't aliens - they're humans from the future with the advent of time travel after messing with human genetics waaaaay too much, so they've come back to try to figure out how to fix what they did.

Really though, no. I think it's probably beyond likely that other life, including intelligent life, exists, but I doubt if they'd ever be coming here. Vast universe, I suppose something looking like that somewhere isn't entirely of the question, but who knows.

[TurtleTitan97]

I don't know which thread in this section I find weirder. This or the Apollo Moon landing one...

But in answer to the question: No, I don't.

I wouldn't say those aliens but deep down I hope the aliens from Mass Effect are real lol I want to meet a hanaar....

I don't know. I assume that any aliens would be too far away to reach Earth. I believe that there is life on other planets, out there in the universe. There may be a multiverse too. I just don't think we will meet any of these aliens.

[BubblyShell22]

No, I don't believe in those type of aliens at all. It would be cool if aliens did land on Earth, but I don't think they'd want to. Could there be aliens on other planets? Maybe, but not one of them have landed on Earth yet, and until they do, I won't believe it.

[Leo656]

I hope Twileks are real. I always wanted to nail one'a them.

[BubblyShell22]

When I was younger, I wished the Ewoks were real. That would be kind of cool.

Since the human race has barely been around compared to the trillions of years the universe has existed, its possible alien life started long ago and have like a million year head-start over humans in terms of when they existed.

So it is possible they've created spaceships that allow them to cover vast distances of space quickly. Just like what we humans have now was unthinkable to people back in the 1500's....you think they ever thought man would leave the planet?

Real-life aliens.

[Leo656]

Whether or not aliens exist in "real-life" isn't a question. Yes, they do, it's a mathematical certainty, if the universe is as big as it seems. The circumstances that allowed life to exist here positively have to exist elsewhere, even if it's somewhere so far away we would never even know about it.

Keep in mind, "alien life" is a very broad definition that could just as easily include anything from full-blown humanoids to microscopic bacteria. But it's certain that *something* is alive out there somewhere. People's disbelief in that idea is rooted in the arrogant belief that the human species is somehow unique and superior instead of, essentially, an evolutionary accident.

As to whether or not those particular "aliens" everyone talks about actually exist and have been here... I dunno, I kinda don't think so. I think they'd have made a bigger deal of themselves. Why go to the trouble to travel halfway across the universe and then do nothing at all once you get there? Surely more than a few sketchy rednecks would'a seen something.

But who knows? Anything is possible.

Isn't it pretty much a fact that such minor forms of life exist in other planets of our galaxy? Haven't they found something like that on Mars not so many years ago or am I mistaken?

[Powder]

Yes, I do.

I was gonna mention that but didn't because I don't remember the facts of it. I do believe they found crystalized water on Mars which may have contained bacteria. But I didn't remember the entire story so I didn't bother, just in case I had it wrong.

Still, life is life. Other Life exists in the universe, definitely. If there's bacteria, then there's probably much more than that.

They've found water/ice on one of Jupiter's moons that is speculated to have sea life.

Didn't the US government decide to cut back on NASA's funding a few years ago? Sounds like mankind won't make a lot of discoveries in space during my lifetime.

[Leo656]

Had to invest in all those "shovel-ready" jobs that were gonna kickstart the economy. Hoooo, that was a good one. Real knee-slapper.

You're seriously stuck in 1999, aren't you?

I guess that's cool. Sorta trapped in a mix of the early 90's and mid 00's over here.

[AT-Man]

I don't believe any "sentient" extra-terrestrials could or would visit here, and I don't believe them to look like what we see on tv.
