I have seen a U.F.O

Three years ago in the north of England i was in my flat when I saw a bright light so i took a look with my binoculars and was astonished to see this weird shaped craft, it looked as though it was made of liquid metal like mercury and was changing shape!!! i was frozen to the spot, it was going into the shape of like a spiky layered flower then shrinking to a small ball then bigger again, it was amazing to see, the technology "they" have is thousands of years ahead. Perhaps they are visiters from the future!!!!! WHO KNOWS what do YOU think???

There's probably a terrestrial explanation. I highly doubt that extraterrestrial life has ever visited Earth because of what we know about how physics works.

Thats your first mistake even quantum science is acknowledging the possibility of an omniverse and bubbled universe with multi dimentions. scientist don't fully understand the true nature of the universe.

Just FYI, I probably have more technical training in physics than you, and that includes quantum mechanics. I actually did quite well in that.

Even if we ignore your retort being irrelevant to what we are talking about and is a red herring, there is zero experimental data for that. It's all mathematical models, and all attempts at getting experimental data have failed to do so. Even so, none of that implies realistic travel between cosmic distances. It's likely that alien life does exist in our universe, but because of special and general relativity, which is the physics that matters on very large scales, it's safe to say that it is not going to come into contact with earth. Having technical knowledge of physics makes the notion of alien life travelling to earth to be kind of ridiculous, to be honest.

As much as I would love it if we were visited by some sentient beings, apt-get is right---it's incredibly unlikely that we'll be having guests.

I guess we'll have to save the good china . . .

Because it is my nature to poke a cow patty with a stick to let it stink another day,I feel obligated to state that possible we live amongst extraterrestrials who do not take a form we are used to seeing on earth...they could be microscopic or even invisible to our perception of light waves...until someone has proof positive that this can't happen, it cannot be ruled out...just because it is not written down,it does not mean it can't exist...true science rules out nothing until proof arrives...

Here is the brilliant ( and fellow Aspie) Dan Akroyed talking on the matter.

You don't need to be disrespectful. An important part of posting on a forum is accepting that people will have opinions different from yours.

Truer words were never spoken and words we can ALL live by in this and many other threads we don't want closed down!

I personally do not expect Doctor Who/ Babylon 5/ Stargate type aliens flitting about the universe in ships, the possibility of other worlds where some form of beings are looking up at the stars and wondering like we do, maybe.
I would think people who have seen UFO's and aliens are not liars, nor are they deluded or suffering some malady of the brain, they just have a different belief than I do and I respect it enough not to wind them up about it, the same respect I give to people who profess to believe in anything else omnipotent/ omnipresent. The fact is that people need something to believe in and until mankind can foster the ability to believe in himself and his fellows then we probably won't get out among the stars ourselves for a very long time to come.
I also think that just because our science says there is no possibility does not discount that scientists on some other world would say the possibility is real, we thought Jules Verne's books quite fanciful, and HG Wells', but they saw what was coming much like Da Vinci and many other great thinkers, that is what imagination has, the ability to see possibilities, first we imagine then then we create.
