UFO's... What do you think?

Remember what one Coke bottle did in The Gods Must Be Crazy. That's what would happen to all of us, just like James points out.

I had many a laugh from that movie.

And if there was any life found out there, it would not be long before some religious group would send missionaries out there to "civilise" them and convert them to their brand of religion.

Ahh... or the opposite, the aliens came here and gave us religion. They knew that would keep us busy for a while.

The thing that puzzles me is .. If they do exist, why would they fly all this way, then not even make themselves known? Why would they hide their existence? The only sensible answer I can think of is that there are so many advanced / inhabited planets out there that we aren't even worth paying much attention to. Just like we don't stop and poke every anthill we drive past.

Any creatures that could reach us would have to be vastly more advanced and very different. If they can reach our planet then they can probably reach all of them.

And as was mentioned earlier, I'd hope if we could travel like that we would have reached a level of understanding and acceptance that we could also visit but not disturb other life forms. We sure couldn't do it now...

I once saw what I thought was a group of aliens in a field. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be stacked pallets.

Stacked pallets from Deneb 7, I'll wager!

The "Pallets in Fields" thread rides again!!!

And hopefully it will ride straight back out of town on the same four flat, bald, wobbly tires it came in on...!
