  • elscroto, on 07/23/2008, -10/+218Does that mean the Russian's have been visited too?

    I like how NASA denys it right away, but 'he's still a great american'


  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -13/+161I like how ignorant people are when it comes to aliens/other life forms. Do you realize the earth is not even a grain of sand in this universe? To think we're the only things alive is ridiculous. Whether we are the only things capable of communicating is another story.
  • dafragsta, on 07/23/2008, -4/+136My favorite thing about the word "conspriacy" is that it's listed in the dictionary apart from the word "theory."

    I've got a conspiracy theory for you. A bunch of people got together and conspired to dilute the meaning of the word so that it could never again be taken seriously. I love that our government does silly ***** all the time and it's in the public record, but as long as enough people call it a conspiracy theory, it loses all credibility and God forbid we investigate these "conspiracy theories" and attempt to decide one way or the other if any of them, especially the ones where there is a smoking ***** gun, have any merit. No, they are just conspiracy theories.

    We may or may not have made contact with aliens, but I can say this much. We have a lot of closed, fortified doors in this country that we all pay for, but we'll never see what's behind them. Area 51 exists, there is a lot of publicly known effort to keep what's there a secret. As long as it's done in the name of national security, you are not allowed to ask. (I bet that's what people in China are told when civilians are executed. It's for national security of course!) We also have NORAD, the NSA, CIA, and tons of other government agencies that forcibly take a metric *****-ton of money from your paycheck and you have no privilege to know what it's used for. I'll tell you what it's used for. It's used to discredit anyone who asks what it's used for.
  • overtoke, on 07/23/2008, -3/+123Awww, hell no.
  • dkapuchino, on 07/23/2008, -5/+96In my country, the government doesn't deny it at all. It's just that whenever they go public with the information, the other governments censor us.

  • Hoogs, on 07/23/2008, -0/+77I'd actually like for that to happen more than anything else. In my opinion, there could be nothing cooler than seeing an actual being from another planet.
  • lead2thehead, on 07/23/2008, -10/+87That's clearly an Asgard.
  • benologist, on 07/23/2008, -83/+160A government might lie. Several governments might. But every government in the whole world? And every person involved in it? And every media outlet? And every person who ever stumbled across it in any country? For decades, if not centuries or millenia?

    Really it's about as credible as people saying 9/11 was an inside job, the holocaust didn't happen or Ron Paul for president.
  • SlimeyPete, on 07/23/2008, -1/+75Who are you talking to? I doubt many in the Digg audience deny that aliens might exist.

  • phore, on 07/23/2008, -2/+68Not all governments cover up UFO related things. I believe a few countries in Europe have opened up their reports on UFO's.
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -5/+67*sigh*
    We're not ALIENS, OK? We're evolved humans from 175,000 years in the future.
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -18/+79You know what bothers me about all this UFO *****?

    Given the infinite potential for life in the universe. What do you figure the odds of an alien race capable of visiting earth, would act, look and behave in a manner relatively familiar to us. Like they are "supposedly" roughly the same size and shape as humans.

    Just given the fact that they fly ***** AIRCRAFT as we know them is a ***** ludicrous idea.

    You guys know what I'm saying?


  • LordVomit, on 07/23/2008, -15/+75Clearly they are trying to show respect to a hero of old, yet still making it clear that he is senile.

  • iMyst, on 07/23/2008, -2/+53It may have no effect after the first one, but I'm going to keep digging you until my finger falls off.
  • latrosicarius, on 07/23/2008, -10/+60To the people in this thread saying aliens would look completely different, and humans are badly designed and would not appear again if you re-rolled the evolution dice so to speak...


    No. Learn a little bit about evolution. Do you honestly think evolution is a linear progression? If you do, you obviously no nothing about evolution. Evolution is driven by the environment. Yes, random mutations cause evolution, but the only part that got stuck in you imbeciles' thick heads was the word "random".

    A species WILL NOT evolve unless that random mutation allows for some benefit to excelling in their environment. The random mutations that don't cause a benefit, will eliminate themselves from the gene pool. Therefore, humans are designed well for our environment or we wouldn’t be sitting here talking about this right now. First of all, our organs are not simply hung from our spine like a bridge. They are supported by the ribs in the front as well. But secondly, walking upright has evolutionary benefits, which is why we are the way we are-- Humans likely started in hot localities (Mediterranean / African regions). Overexertion and heat dissipation in these conditions pose significant biological design hurdles if a species plans of surviving. Walking upright means we have less surface area exposed to the sun, thus making our bodies cool better. Cooler bodies, mean cooler blood, which means larger brain size is possible (the brain generates significant heat and must not become too hot or you die).

    ---

    In regards to re-rolling evolution, the likelihood that human-like creatures would form again would be almost inevitable, given the a similar set of environmental conditions. Have you never heard of parallel evolution?--a concept taught in middle school science class??

    You know that first there were single-celled organisms, then specialization and single-cell colonies, then simple complex organisms like sponges, then development of differentiated tissues like muscle fiber, making it possible for worms, and more complicated animals to develop, eventually leading to swimming fish. Finally, amphibians came out of the water to dry land, leading the way for the development of reptiles, birds, and mammals. Sounds good. ---- oh wait!!! what about the bugs? Forgot about them, hmm? Yes, insects are an example of parallel evolution. They developed in parallel to fish becoming amphibians, and left the oceans themselves as scorpion-like creatures which developed further on land.

    Another example is the mostly parallel evolution several the several distinct species of the genus ***** after they diverged from Australopithecus such as ***** erectus, & other Hominids.

    So basically, there are two basic types of planets. Gas giants, and terrestrial planets. I’m going to make a bold statement and say right off the bat that life cannot exist on a gas giant, and if you know anything about astronomy or astrophysics you would know why (there is literally no difference between a gas giant and a star except mass. Not even considering the extreme crushing mass found within a gas giant, and the fact that there is no solid surface, the extreme heat and violent atmosphere would prohibit any organism from developing, even Hyperthermophile which can survive in conditions up to a “whopping” 140 degrees C).

    That leaves terrestrial planets. Small planets with a solid surface, possibly an ocean of some sort of liquid. I will admit the possibility of organisms developing in conditions outside those provided by the Habitable Zone (look it up), but it’s very unlikely if you know anything about anatomy or biological processes, you will see you need, at a minimum, a wide variety of compounds interacting with each other via liquid medium. Essentially, the envelope for evolving life is likely very thin, meaning most planets where life evolves would be eerily similar – and therefore meaning comparable organisms are likely to arise.

    Basically, aliens should and probably would look similar to something we would immediately recognize as a living organism, most likely easily identifiable and classifiable as some sort of animal or animal-like creature. To summarize for those with very stretchy imaginations, they would not be a big puddle of floating goo.
  • LampAndIBrokeUp, on 07/23/2008, -7/+56Does anyone else think NASA's "denial" sounds like "I did not have sex with that woman"? They don't deny alien life, just that they are involved in a cover-up.

    Would be interesting to see their entire statement.

  • benologist, on 07/23/2008, -5/+50Smellaporting. It's like teleporting but a lot more advanced and sophisticated than our crappy technology.
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -42/+87You people really think the incompetent government is capable of keeping a monumental conspiracy secret for over 60 years? Get real and stop believing this *****. What's the reason the government has for keeping such a thing secret for so long?
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -65/+109You can call me a Tin foil hat wearing Mo Fo or whatever, but i truly believe that they have made contact. I mean I dont go along with all these theories about reptoids and orange and green aliens and *****, but the reason they dont disclose the info is not because it would cause mass panic. Its because the world would figure out that we have been lied to for years and effectively ruin every current government and cause even the most hardcore believers of religion to take a step back and think about their ideologies.

    People would be pissed of and start asking questions like why are we still using primitive rockets to get to space and the such. They would try to say there hostile and ***** and say would should kill them but anybody with 2 brain cells would know if they have the technology to visit us they would absolutely destroy us if we were to try fight them.

    And there is to much evidence already to not think we have been visited. All the UFO sightings and this crazy ***** like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ8wTq3HcDk. So unless the gov has some really crazy technology or something. Beside how would the world react to know these supposed nut jobs were actually right all along. I dont know come up with your own conclusions. Id love to be proved wrong though but even so then it brings out that the gov is evil and proves that they have advanced technology they've been hiding from us. Then all the other crazy supposed nut jobs get proved right. Quit a conundrum either way.

  • lithera, on 07/23/2008, -13/+51In terms of evolution it seems very logical that "aliens" would look roughly like us. One of the reasons humans are successful as a species is the way we are shaped.
    The way we are structured allows us to be very flexible and adaptive in a wide variety of environments. This is one of the key elements for survival.
    So Aliens with arms, legs and a head.. seems very plausible to me. Laws of nature apply everywhere, not only earth.

  • azaraa09, on 07/23/2008, -2/+35No, stop, all of you, we have NO way of predicting what kind of species would dominate other planets. Different proximity and spectrum of their sun create way too many variables for us to control. We cannot even create a comprehensive algorithm for our own evolution.
