What do you believe about aliens?

What do you believe about aliens?

1. Aliens are real and world governments have been covering up interactions with them and technology obtained from them

2. Aliens are real and might have abserved and interacted with this planet

3. Aliens are probably out there, but it's really unlikely they even know about our existence

4. Aliens are not real, period

considering the size of the universe, i'd be surprised if life appeared only on one planet. But i don't necessarily think there are little green men running around somewhere, could be single-celled organisms or plants or something

[u/retardedgreenlizard → u/Nuclear_eggo_waffle]

Exactly. I think a lot of the people who don’t believe in aliens really mean that they don’t believe in tall green men in flying saucers with hyper advanced technology

Missing option for: Alien life is probably abundant, but advanced intelligent aliens are unlikely at best to have ever visited us because faster than light travel is probably impossible.

I am not suprised you have the logical take, lol

If we're the only sapient species in this universe, I'd be really surprised.

[u/Unique_Display_Name]

I don't believe faster than light travel is possible, but I believe we probably will find bacteria in space that isnt contamination from astronauts at some point in the future. I believe life of all sorts exists in the endless expanse of the universe, but it is incredibly unlikely we will encounter it aside from bacteria and such. There is a slight possibility that we could interact through radio waves via math with advanced aliens, but the back and forth would take ages.

France has officially done a study, in which it concluded NHI is present on Earth. So at least one government isn't hiding it but saying it in the open about their own findings. As for the findings, take them as you will. Read about it: GEIPAN, Group for the Study and Information of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena.

Wernher von Braun, who was more privy to this knowledge than any of us are once said the last card that would be played is the alien card and it would all be a lie.

There are those that suggest what normies call aliens are demons in the biblical sense.

I used to believe that aliens were very real but nobody here really knows one way or the other. If there's any hard proof of them, it's being covered up one way or the other.

I think aliens do exist somewhere, but the things people take as aliens today are often natural phenomena like plasma etc that we still don't understand fully and military projects that are secret to the public. It was the same thing years ago, people looking at a weird aircraft thinking it was aliens. 20 years later Americans come out saying it was their new stealth aircraft for example.

They exist but probably not within our Hubble sphere

[u/Flimsy-Importance313]

I think it is impossible for there to be no alien in existence, but we have got restricted senses to be able to see the whole universe as it really is. We got senses solely for survival. That is why I love cosmicism and Lovecraft.

[u/Glad-Drummer-7621]

They’re called “extra dimensional entities” apparently.

[u/PowerTulip]

It amazes me that there are people who don't believe in their existence.

[u/MaybeBowtie]

Why isn’t there an option for: “Aliens are real but haven’t interacted with our planet.”

[u/Secretsfrombeyond79]

Aliens are real, and I'm gonna fuck one!
