https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_and_Betty_Hill Barney and Betty Hill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Barney and Betty Hill with their dog, Desley. Barney and Betty Hill were an American couple who were allegedly abducted by extraterrestrials in a rural portion of New Hampshire on September 19, 1961 through September 20, 1961. We are alone for now. I underlined allegedly. The story of the Betty & Barney, has been debunked. |

Getting back to "Is anyone Out There". Distance is the killer. It isn't very likely that ET will be found on a planet circling a star or stars within 100ly. So we get the ultimate practical joke played on us. We have the brains to figure out we aren't alone but not so much yet that we will be able to do anything about it when the proof does land on our doorstep.

I still think that generally scientists are correct when they say that given the size of the observable universe and maybe an unknown size of a yet to be observed larger universe, the sheer odds are in favour of other life forms out there somewhere.

The "God" that Einstein and Hawking have mentioned is not your god who is vengeful, indifferent to suffering, keeps a tally on your misdeeds and listens to your supplications. It is the intricacies, intelligence, chance and mysteries that they perceive in Nature, like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=31&v=oKeDR7YI4is ;) non-profit org.

Who would then buy a package? I have a friend who is hooked on one of those games to the tune of $75/week. I keep telling him he needs counselling. And believe me it ain't me. As soon as a game site asks for money I'm gone. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required.

Reading through this thread, this idea came to my mind. In which way is nature supposed to make intelligence visible or present? There are so many words available trying to better explain this. Rather than assuming that a manifest could be a written document or a statement, also something which could go invisible could make itself visible in order to manifest itself. We are taking ourselves for granted because we are supposed to be what we really are by means of our physical appearance. But intelligence is something which comes along with us. It is being included as part of our brain and makes us able to think and dream. Whether or not other intelligent beings, or extraterrestrials, are physical or not, they may be supposed to be having intelligence, meaning ability of thinking and deduction. Is communication the only way possible intelligence might be detected, or is there perhaps other ways in which such a thing might be carried out? |

There IS alien life out there: Nasa administrator says he believes we are not alone in the universe Charles Frank Bolden Jr., the Administrator of Nasa confirmed he believes there is life outside of Earth. Facing readers from First News for the newspaper's Hotseat show on Sky News, he was asked if he believed in aliens by 10-year-old Carmen Dearing. 'I do believe that we will someday find other forms of life or a form of life, if not in our solar system then in some of the other solar systems - the billions of solar systems in the universe, he said. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3130345/There-alien-life-Nasa-administrator-says-believes-not-universe.html |

The four Rama books by Arthur C Clarke depict the Ramans as finding us, not the other way around. it will be centuries before we go outside our Solar system! ;) non-profit org. Play4Life in Zagreb, Croatia, EU |

The way I understood the events in the Rama stories was that a previous disaster involving an asteroid strike had finally stirred the governments of earth to establish an early warning network including telescopes and space vehicles to prevent a repeat. One of the telescopes detected Rama and when it was determined that Rama wasn't a natural object one of the space ships was sent to intercept it. During the course of that mission it was determined that Rama was some sort of a space ark and that Rama wasn't sent to look for us and was only using the sun to alter it's trajectory to get to it's destination. They initially weren't aware of our presence and it was only after astronauts had boarded Rama they took an interest in us and came back centuries later. To me that is a very likely scenario.
