A news story today about a few towns in Texas where a number of people claim to have seen something about a mile big with lots of lights on it in the sky.  Many people cannot figure out what the heck it is and are claiming it is a UFO.

Question:  Do you believe that there is intelligent life "out there?"

From my point of view, the thought that we are the only intelligent life in the cosmos smacks of pure egotism.  Granted, we have not found life on other planets we have been to, but we have only begun to scratch the surface of how far into space we can go. 

I think that there may be life somewhere "out there", billions of light years away, that we cannot get to with our technology.  However, if they can get to us with theirs, think about how much more advanced and technologically savvy they must be. 

I wonder if they know about our technology (computers, I-phones, internet, yada yada,) and just laugh at the primitiveness of it.  These were things they probably had thousands of years ago. 

So kids - whatcha think?  Is there life "out there?"

    i think there's something out there, i just don't know what. having said that, i think there's a lot of hallucination being reported as extraterrestrials, to be honest.

    Group Hallucinations, Ed?  This "sighting" is being claimed by many people in a number of different towns in TX.  However, what I find strange is that currently there are no pictures of this "thing".  In this day and age, when most (if not everyone except me) have cameras on their cell phones, NO ONE got a picture.  This just seems a bit hinkey to me.

    I saw this news story and I was actually thinking of posting about it too! It's pretty interesting. I definitely think there's life outside of this galaxy. Space is so vast and we have no idea what's out there, so why can't there be life? I saw something once that I think might have been some sort of UFO, but I don't know. But I think there are aliens out there somewhere...

    Yes, I believe there is life out there somewhere.

    ET - I have seen things in the sky too - but I believe I was on powerful drugs at the time, so maybe I was just hallucinating <big grin>.  Seriously, they were talking about this story this morning on the TODAY show and the question was asked:  If an alien craft landed near you would you run towards it and say "howdy" or would you run away. 

    Personally, I would like to say I would go say "Hi", but I would probably be pooping my pants and just stand there like a statue.

    I'm not sure if you guys had a chance to check out my post on the subject, but I don't find any direct association between unidentified lights and intelligence from other worlds. There are plenty of other possible explanations, some mundane, some fantastic, some more plausible than others.
