47. I don't see why so many get their knickers in knots over discussions about aliens.

It's not impossible, it can't yet be proven or disproven, it's an interesting topic. Certainly one of the more innocuous speculative discussions.

Anytime people see unexplainable things, there will be speculation. I don't see the harm.

Yeah, sure... MineralMan Apr 2023 #1

Can you or anyone disprove it? FoxNewsSucks Apr 2023 #9

Uh, no. Disproving things like that isn't really possible, is it? MineralMan Apr 2023 #12

Only by proving what they actually are FoxNewsSucks Apr 2023 #14

Not really. MineralMan Apr 2023 #21

The question isn't "is there life elsewhere" brooklynite Apr 2023 #17

Obviously any civilization capable of such travel would be far advanced over us FoxNewsSucks Apr 2023 #23

But somehow they're not advanced enough to hide their probes? brooklynite Apr 2023 #32

Or they just don't care edisdead Apr 2023 #35

It wouldn't be "harmful" in any obviously direct way for adults to speculate Santa Claus is real Silent3 Apr 2023 #63

Is there evidence that Santa exists? It's not the same thing at all. FoxNewsSucks Apr 2023 #66

There is no high-quality evidence of ETs visiting earth either Silent3 Apr 2023 #68

Yup Sugarcoated Apr 2023 #118

Cost might cease to be an important issue for an advanced technology Silent3 Apr 2023 #71

There will always be a "cost" that cost must be offset by "worth" Model35mech Apr 2023 #76
