UFO?

By habitable in the context of SETI I think that we all mean that we could go there now and live without any artificial life support once we could figure out how to get there. I will venture a guess that we won't find a single planet that meets the criteria that this definition implies. Of course, I hope that I am wrong. There probably are a few such planets in the Galaxy but they may be too far away to ever find. Just a hunch--I am eagerly awaiting to see what we can find over the the next few decades. You can't prove a negative but just one example would prove me wrong.

As I said , in the context of SETI, we are most interested in :"habitable" planets that can support intelligent life on a level that rivals human intelligence. I posit that the requirements for such life to start and evolve may consist of many finely tuned parameters for which there are few (if any) known candidate planets. Time will tell --I would be pleased to be found wrong in my suppositions.

LONDON - Men in black, Mork and Mindy, shining lights in the sky and more than 20 years of other alien visitations and bizarre sightings recorded in Britain's own "X-Files" were made available online to the public on Thursday.

The nearly 9,000 pages of UFO-related documents, drawings, letters and parliamentary questions recorded by Britain's Ministry of Defence (MoD) from 1985 to 2007 are the eighth batch of UFO files to be released to the National Archives.

U.K. X-Files go online

Can you think of any logical reasons why aliens need to visit us on a regular basis?...if any of these visitations were actually genuinely true.

They can't buy Marmite on their home planet.

• In 1986, a Japan Airlines pilot saw what he described as an unidentified flying object over Alaska closely tailing his 747. He made an evasive move. His career was thrown into turmoil, but he never recanted what he claimed he saw.

• In 1987, a Federal Aviation Administration executive says the CIA warned him not to talk about UFOs because the public would panic.

• In 1997, former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington mocked thousands of people who said they saw mysterious lights over Phoenix, calling out a staffer dressed in a cheesy ET costume at a press conference. Ten years later, he apologized for lying to the media and the public.

What these events have in common is that they are unveiled on a new two-hour History Channel special, "Secret Access: UFOs On The Record," that features in-depth accounts from people who have been willing to risk their jobs and reputations to speak out about their remarkable experiences with UFOs.
