by that I mean it's possible aliens could have visited and influenced the earth.
One of the best quotes I heard by someone who had an alien en-counter was that the aliens told them "that they didn't want to show themselves to the world because they didn't want to affect or influence our religions"
What do you think? That sounds a bit like a prime directive to me, and could be a good reason why the aliens are simply spying on us.
Sagan's The Demon Haunted World talks a lot about aliens. Sagan himself strongly believed in alien life, and wanted very much to find evidence. He examined all the UFO claims and wrote about it in that book. Bottom line: ain't no such thing, at least none that humanity has encountered yet.
In the Middle Ages, people had close encounters with Mary, or with demons. UFOs weren't encountered until science and science fiction wrote about the possibility. How nice of the aliens to wait to visit us until we were expecting them...NOT.
So do I. My parents are from Holland. Defintely aliens but legal.
In a scientific perspective, we really have no solid evidence that extraterresterial entities exist, but I think that it would be arrogant to presume they don't. The vast numbers of stars and galazies with even more planetary systems suggests to me that there must be other intelligent beings besides the human race.
Notwithstanding, however, I do not believe that extraterresterial beings have visited earth. The vast distances and technology required would make it unlikely. If evolution is true of other worlds, then the time needed since the Big Bang would make it less likely that such beings would have advanced technologically enough to travel through space very far. But, even if some races have developed the ability to travel across the vastness of space, the odds that they would arrive at earth is also very remote.
Finally, the evidence that seems to surface is always in the same kind of groups of those who like conspiracy theories. They never produce much more than fuzzy pictures, and oddball eyewitness accounts from some isolated dessert abduction. And these aliens always seem to love looking inside our asses with weird probes.
My belief is that an advance race able to travel here would be far along enough in their social structure and sciences to have better things to do than study human rectums. The benefits in making contact with us, I think, would far outweigh some nonsensical 'Prime Directive' of non-interferrence. And if they were so concerned with such a directive, they would stop probing our annal structures in dessert kidnappings. - Amazing

Ghosts, demons, Fairys,and this age:... Aliens. Is there aconnection?
Could it be our own subjective consciousness, or is there something more?
Some modern accounts of UFOs have left quite a number of high ranking officials puzzled and also a number of scientists believing in them.
I try to keep an open mind on the subject.
By the way, ever seen "Contact" with Jodi Foster?

Hence your picture of Rutger?
"I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
Well not that I exactly believe in aliens , but does anyone any comments on the huge head statues on Easter Is. or the huge spider carved out on the side of a mountain in Peru and all those several thousand year old stuctures around the world that scientist have no clue who or how or why they are?
Always interested me...Hhmm..
You would have to be completely ignorant and self-centered to even for one moment not even consider that their might indeed be another planet in another solar system like ours that supports life not dissimilar to us.
Hell, their finding evidence of it on our next-door neighbor.
Not only do aliens exist, but they've visited us many times.
They assume whatever appearance the 'locals' prefer - the Virgin
Mary, UFO's, etc. During the turn of the century, there were
sightings of 'mystery airships' - consistent with technology of
the time.
I'm impatient and wish NASA would get on with proving that life
exists on Mars - the world is ready for it.

Im a freak, does that count?
