I wonder if this was the Llanbedr Bellman they flew through. A Meteor lost an engine on take off, tore a wing through the roof and ended up inside the Bessonneau hangar in the background. The pilot survived and eventually flew 748s for Emerald Airways up to his retirement. Sadly, he is no longer with us.

What’s the tail dragger in the background. Firefly?

Two points of discussion.

1. If space is infinite, or almost infinite i.e. really big. Shouldn’t there be lots of aliens flying around? Monkeys, typewriters and all that.

2. How do we know we are not the first form of life? Presumably it had to start somewhere. Maybe here which is why we haven’t found anything yet.

I thought it was because they wanted to have sex with people who they kidnap from remote areas.

Moggy

Depends if you consider an `anal probe` as sex I guess.

Surely the key point is, accepting the highly probable likelihood that we are not the only life forms in the universe

Or accepting that we are alone. Both points of view are equally valid until proven otherwise.

You cannot possibly know that…..and statistically you’re probably wrong!

You cannot possibly know there is life and statistics are just that.

When certain people see something they cannot explain rather than believe the logical, obvious or use common sense they fantasize about what they `hope` or `want` that
thing to be. Lets not assume because a person is intelligent, famous or credible that they do not fall into this category.

We ridicule, challenge, and deride politicians in almost every way except when dealing with a conspiracy when we suddenly believe everything they say, even when what they say is laughable. Should that politician be a second rate actor doubly so.

Just because we as mere mortals long for far off worlds full of mythical beings there is absolutely no evidence to suggest in any way, shape or form that any do exist. Meanwhile we destroy the only confirmed oasis of life that does exist. Cause extinction, destruction and death on a daily basis. Do you really think that if an alien looked down on us it would actually bother to pay us a visit, let alone, after many light years of highly precise space travel in a craft so advanced we probably wouldn’t understand what is was if it landed on us, unexpectedly crash in a remote area of America, near an airbase, full of said politicians, actors and banjo players. Probably the worst place for anyone to visit let alone an omnipotent space traveler.

Sorry to disappoint everyone but there is no other life in the Universe and until an Alien is seen down the Strand trying to double park it’s space cruiser I will consider the matter closed.
The rest of you can believe whatever you want to believe.
