I agree that the chances for extra-terrestrial life being somewhere out there are good. But that last part of your sentence doesn't make sense. How is one supposed to disprove the existence of aliens? Do you want somebody to search the whole universe? That always leaves the possibility of just not having found them yet. If you claim the existence of something, the burden of proof is on you.

The universe is potentially infinite right? So the existence of everything seems probable. I am not a formal scientist. I bear no burden, I just have an opinion based on my education.

Area 51 is just a cult of butt-fucking old dudes that have this Fraternal Organization much like the Shriners, Freemasons, or the Skull and Bones society. They do highly illegal deals with foreign drug deals, much like hacker said, do ungodly amounts of these drugs (I've heard that the Noreiga era stuff was better) and have ungodly amounts of buttsex. If you ask too many questions, don't be surprised if dudes in black suits and sunglasses start appearing out of nowhere.... I'm staying out of this one. Yes, I believe in Extraterrestrial Life. I do know that Area-51 has a certain hangar number with an underground base underneath.... or so the story goes....

Actually I was reffering to this site when I said the drug thing

What if someone drove a tanker truck full of explosives into the compound and fucked it's shit up?

This would, most likely, be the result:

I think Area-51 is a decoy. I think the government allows just enough "leaked" info on it to keep all eyes on it, while the base with the real crazy shit goes unnoticed.

If I was in charge of US Military top secrets I would want them somewhere far safer than a desert surrounded by nothing. Like, in the Rocky Mountains, where NORAD is. Perhaps, underneth NORAD.

I live in Roswell, New Mexico. I know a lady whose grandfather owned the funeral home, where the US military ordered the several child sized coffins after the crash.

I don't believe the weather balloon, the earth is gouged where it hit. Aliens? Not so much.

This might sound dumb, but I've never thought that aliens would ever visit earth for the simple reason that, if they actually had the capacity to travel from their home location to our planet, they'd be intelligent enough to figure out that if an alien actually landed on the earth, we'd probably air its dissection on Fox 2 or something. Sad

As for what's actually in Area 51, well, whatever it is, the government doesn't want us to know about it, so I'm not sure it's particularly good.

Come to think of it, if Area 51 DID contain proof of life on other planets, why would the government hide that?

You know darned well that if humans achieved interstellar travel, and found an inhabited planet, we'd try and land and make contact too. Maybe the aliens are just as dumb as we are.

As Star Trek has shown us, just because a culture achieves space travel does not mean that they have some sort of advanced intelligence beyond engineering.

The point I was trying to make was that you can't believe something just because it hasn't been disproven yet. That's not a viable form of reasoning, scientist or not.

Wait, you mean we won't have a Prime Directive to protect pre-warp civilizations?

I would normally agree, but with the Universe being potentially infinite... aren't all possibilities possible unless someone can prove them impossible? Potentially of course ...

I have a sneaking suspicion that the rest of the Galaxy looks at us like the backwards retard planet and reminds travelers NOT to stop here for gas.

If anything is possible, then the impossible is possible.

Wow dude, that was kinda deep...yet it totally wasn't.

Surpass the impossible and kick reason to the curb.

Sorry, that just had to be said.

First liquid water may have been spotted on Mars

NASA's Phoenix lander may have captured the first images of liquid water on Mars - droplets that apparently splashed onto the spacecraft's leg during landing, according to some members of the Phoenix team.

The controversial observation could be explained by the mission's previous discovery of perchlorate salts in the soil, since the salts can keep water liquid at sub-zero temperatures. Researchers say this antifreeze effect makes it possible for liquid water to be widespread just below the surface of Mars, but point out that even if it is there, it may be too salty to support life as we know it.

A few days after Phoenix landed on 25 May 2008, it sent back an image showing mysterious splotches of material attached to one of its legs. Strangely, the splotches grew in size over the next few weeks, and Phoenix scientists have been debating the origin of the objects ever since.

Hot damn.

Even if this turns out to be a dead end like the Mars microbes, its still cool. Go Phoenix!

I think the aliens are amongst us and we can't tell. Do you need proof? Here you go: 4chan. 4chan is the reason they come here. Dissect any /b/tard and I guarantee you won't find an organ similar to ours.

Okay! I have a theory: You know when you lose something, like your left sock? You know where it goes? It goes to Area-51's Super-Duper Top-Secret Paralell Universe Machine. It is by law, that a minuturaized "Opener" be installed in every Washer and Dryer in the world. The "Opener" Opens the Gate to the Paralell Universe, and approved UniAstroCosmonauts Explore the Universe and steal your socks and resell them as brand new after revitalizing them with thier "Revitalization Beam". I know this because a very imformed source has told me that this is the answer to the question "Where are all of my left socks?"

lol I was up really late one night, that's when I have by best thinking and that's when I figured out that "anything is possible" is a paradox. Sweet and simple but makes you think.

I think earth may be an experiment aliens have produced and the results will be basically as Kurt Vonnegut said about people and the earth, well if goes something like:

When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
"It is done."
People did not like it here.
