Smiley Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Visited Rendlesham Forest yesterday. Did the UFO trail. Interesting stuff. Got home last night and watched a couple of short documentaries about the 1980 sightings. Seems pretty legit. Anyone else believe they are out there?

Something very weird definitely happened in that forest, what's this trail about is it something you put together yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 There will be stuff out there, there has to be, are they coming here to Earth and making crop circles and kidnapping and probing rednecks? - I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroySwoosh Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Has to be other species out there, to think we're the only intelligent life forms is typically human! recent video from the International Space Station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breightmet Boy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 There was one over Levdrhulme Park in the Late 60's, my mother saw it and ran upstairs to my sisters room because she was on her own. My mum didn't believe in Life after death, ghost or anything she didn't see so I've no doubts it was a UFO. It was in the Manchester Evening News that two policemen saw it.

Always been fascinated with this stuff, so many of the reports can be explained but it's those few that can't. I remember when X-Files was at its most popular and everywhere seemed to want in on a story. Rivington had a few daft ones knocking about. Think there were doughnuts on a rope seen over there too at one stage, why Area 51 would send test flights over Horwich though I don't know.

I can say, without fear of contradiction, that no beings from other planets have wasted their time visiting us.

Moderators Zico Posted February 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2020 It's no coincidence that No one spots UFOs, or ghosts, anymore now plenty folk have decent definition cameras Whilst there may be life out there, even if it's bacteria squirming on a rock, that if it considered itself intelligent enough to develop the capabilities to get here, they'd at least say hello rather than hovering about over one place for a few minutes then fucking off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. It's pretty much a mathematical certainty that there is/has been/will be intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe, but they have never and almost certainly will never be able to visit us. The last episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage was about UFO's. It's worth a watch/listen for the bits in between Lucy Beaumont trying to be funny. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p081swwr Edited February 25, 2020 by Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they know about us, and can visit us, then why haven't they made themselves known? On a smaller but similar scale, we discovered and conquered the globe just because we could.

Its an argument neither of us are capable of "winning" We will basically never find out, not in our lifetime anyway Which ironically makes it a question of faith Go with what you believe This is a good mind bending read about it all https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1781256810/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_9jzvEb41ZT4PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted February 25, 2020 Members Share Posted February 25, 2020 My mam and dad did a tour of America and one of the excursions whilst they were in New Mexico was a trip to Roswell. They said it was shite, full of shit shops selling tat and a McDonald’s shaped like a spaceship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I'm less convinced that there's intelligent life elsewhere than I was 10 or 15 years ago. With the technology we have and the length of time we've been looking for something - we should have spotted something by now. If there was anything to spot. It could be that the odds against intelligent life developing are so infinitesimally small that we're it. Or at least we're the first one to have reached a point of technological advancement to produce radio waves in our galaxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we're still waiting for their signals to reach us. Dinosaurs may have been strutting their stuff when the first hello was sent out. That's a thought!

It takes years just to scan a pin-pricks' worth of space from Earth, and that's to a limited distance. There are hundreds of billions of stars in the OBSERVABLE Universe alone, each with God-knows how many planets orbitting them. We'll probably be extinct before we have chance to find anything, but it's almost certainly out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also quite plausible intelligent life came and went extinct somewhere else long before we came along And it may come along again somewhere else long after we're gone If we had an inkling that somewhere out there did have life we would have to send AI out there to look, we've already sent shuttles in the direction of some places where we think something might be going on If something ever does receive our messages and is able to come and check us out human life will probably be long gone by then Everything we can see now is already millions of years old, something like that I think the nearest star is something like 40,000 years away with current technology It will no doubt change in time but biological life won't allow anything to find out Anything else is currently science fiction and as plausible as the bible Because something surely had to exist to have caused the big bang I think we're in a Russian stacking doll type hadron collider of universes And the next one is currently expanding underground near Geneva And in that one, Bolton are still shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
