Why would the Government lie to us? If they knew certainly of the existence of life on other planets, surely we would know? The Ministry of Defence said it examined the reports solely to determine whether enemy aircraft had infiltrated British airspace. Once it was determined that no enemy aircraft were in the sky, it did not investigate further. Why do we not believe the Government? And if they were lying, it would not bode well with the rest of the world.

Once again, science does provide an answer. And, unfortunately for the alien enthusiasts, it is much more logical, much more believable and many sightings have been proved to be something else. The phenomenon that has been seen is not a UFO, or other life forces. Scientists explain how many sightings are simply clouds; meteors that create spectacular light shows when they burn through the Earth’s atmosphere; ball or bead lightning ( strange forms of lightning that are rarely seen); stars or planets or sundogs – bright spots on the solar halo that appear as balls of light in the sky(1). Sorry for the boring scientific explanations, but the little green men have not landed, nor are they likely too.

Not only do many of the sightings have scientific explanations, but they also have stupid ones. It cannot be denied that the majority of the sightings of life on other planets are witnessed by fanaticals who sit in their basement with their trusty telescopes, desperate for anything unexplainable. Many of the sightings have been simple light reflections, strangely-shaped clouds and military aircraft. But people are not willing to even consider believing this. In one case, a purported UFO was the planet Venus near the horizon, but the lady who recorded the supposed phenomenon would not hand over the videotape because she was absolutely certain that the UFO investigators were part of a government conspiracy. (1) And there is no denying there are certainly many others like this lady out there, desperate to believe in something that does not exist.

In my opinion I believe that many people want to believe that there are aliens, but we just simply do not have enough proof. There are not clear images because this generation is exposed to thousands of technologies making it possible to create image that look real. In the internet anyone can create a webpage and add his/her own ideas with no proof or validation but judged on a personal opinion. therefore, Most of the images we find in the internet are a false.

The key point raised over and over again by UFO sceptics is the lack of evidence that aliens are visiting us. Why have they not landed and made themselves known? Scientists have long been sending out signals far into the universe. Where are they?

So many images of alleged UFO’s focus on the disc-shaped objects with lights. Why do they have lights? Our aircraft turn on their lights at night to help prevent collisions with other aircraft. Does a UFO have this kind of consideration? Why do alien spaceships need them? First of all, they would presumably want to conceal their presence rather than advertise it, otherwise they would have landed on the lawn outside the Houses of Parliament by now. And if they have technology advanced enough to travel to the far distances of space, surely they would have the means of avoiding collisions with all the other spaceships that are so obviously flying around without the need to resort to a light show.

Those who claim to have seen alien beings nearly always describe humanoid creatures of some sort. The aliens broadly resemble human beings: two eyes, a head with a mouth and some kind of nose, two arms and walk upright on two legs. Does it not seem extraordinary that all of these extra-terrestrial creatures, at least some of which must have evolved on planets vastly different from our own, should nonetheless all closely resemble us? Surely there must be some planets where aliens have an evolutionary advantage: four eyes, or six arms and five legs?

According to NASA they have been observing as well as researching the universe for 60 years, how long does it take to simply poof if there’s life in space? Obviously, in the world we live in we advance rapidly (“so they say”). Technology is way advanced and the government and other people spend so much money researching things but if in fact we were threatened by this so called “aliens” wouldn’t the government and elected officials spend governmental money so that it could be a proven fact, they spend it on everything else anyways. As of now there is not enough evidence to say that life exist in another planet. Just because someone sees a bright little light in the sky moving doesn’t mean it’s a “UFO” and if it was who build the UFO’S? Let me guess ALIENS. They must be quite smart to build such a thing, we should have them build cars for us then so we can save gas.lol….I think this alien thing is all a myth people believe a lot of things so the next time you see them tell them to land in LA.

As human beings we are equipped with a mind full of questions and fascination for the unknown. This is our human nature, and sometimes this fascination makes us see and even believe in things that are not true. For many the fascination is the belief of UFOs. In the past decade the reports of people that have "seen" a UFO has increased dramatically. One may ask why more and more people report seeing a UFO? Well, it's really not difficult to find the answer to that. Along with the increase of reports during the last decade or two, we have had major increases in technology. Anything from a digital camera, video camera, cell phones, computers, etc. Nowadays technology is everywhere and sometimes people own more than one of these devices. As a photography student I know how easy it is to alter a photograph and make it seem what it really isn't. To alter a photograph or take something out of context is really not difficult and anybody can do so with just basic knowledge of a computer and a digital camera. And like people say "a photograph is word a thousand words", and many times we believe what we see. Once you are hooked on this belief, your mind starts believing other things even if its not entirely true. These reports of UFO sightings are in direct correlation with our advancements in technology. The reports will continue to increase but none with physical proof of UFOs.

I completely agree with the above point. There are some people who dedicate their life trying to prove any type of supernatural phenomena, including aliens, and go to great measures to do so. Photographs are easily altered and many times images in the sky can be deceiving to an untrained eye. To most of us the unknown is unbelievably fascinating yet some people take the subject to unnecessary and even tragic levels. One example of this was the incident that took place in California on March of 1997 involving the Heaven's Gate Cult. Twenty-one women and eighteen men committed suicide because of there believe that the world was going to be "recycled" by UFO's. Their religion combined elements of Christianity with unusual believes about UFO's and thus played the key factor in the multiple suicides. Whatever the reason of why people develop stories that are based on a very active imagination and spare time, they must acknowledge that their words will have some sort of impact on others and consider all the consequences that come along with their words.

Is there life on other planets , no one credible source has provided solid eveidence that life exist outside our planet, therefore life is exclusive to earth. The intelligent life on this planet has provided the means for information to be shared and contested, whether right or wrong, in open forums, free from censorship. None of the so called evidence proving extraterrestrial life exist has been acknowledged as accurate by credible professionals in the field of science. the scientist cannot agree there is no solid proof, scientist base their claims on sound proof and no such evidence proving extraterrestrials life exist. Most of the evidence claiming that aliens exist comes from uncertified, uncredible individuals who are on a wild goose chase. None of the evidence cited in this website is articulated or given any method of conformation but simply mentioned. To believe the individuals who make their claim in the favor of life on other planets would do you just as good to believe a car mechanic claiming he found a cure for cancer. No consistent proof exist, until then humans need to only to worry about the preservation of the only life know on any planet, our own and the sub species which we share the earth with. -Certo

no one has confirm the presence of life on other planets! firsts of all were did the whole idea of life on other planets such as existing aliens come from? life on other planets has not been found. aliens as many say are just made up by normal commun humans. why would there be life somewhere else other then earth it self? how do anyone know that they are aliens and not people? how can someone identify them and say its them and not the government poeple such as the air force, army..just to keep people wondering...Moreover the Bible does not state if there is life on other planets.It just clearify that God created the heavens and the earth.

We have all heard of stories where people clame to have some kind of aproch with aliens. Although this stories might be true no one has yet provided any evidence to the public. Its understandable that the Governments does not want to make a big comotion about this mayor issue but there has been people that have made stories intentional to scare the public and to recieve some kind of reward, to see who gets to show the evidence first. We need some answers and we need them now!!

Life in Mars is simply too vague to be completely narrowed down on why it doesn’t exist to some people. However, the possibilities are endless on how life could possibly never exist in Mars. Although it has the many similar aspects of earth, it is still not quite ready to support life. Over 90% of methane is produced biologically here on earth; it comes from living organisms which are mostly cows. We obviously do not have any proof of living organisms or cows for that matter in Mars. Mars is so small which means less gravity and therefore not much atmosphere. With not much atmosphere and no ozone layer there is no protection from the UV radiation of the sun, and that is extremely harmful to life. There may be possibility that there was life before, but certainly life could not be supported in this time and era. There are only a handful of terrestrial organisms that can uphold harsh climates, but then again…where are those organisms they have been searching for?

There is no life on other planets because, there is no air on other planets other than on Earth and anything consider to have life needs air. Also because NASA has sent out a robot to Mars and since it's been there it hasn't seen anything out of the ordinary, just small amounts of water. No other type of life could exist on other planets because where would they and how would they survive. They wouldn't have the technology, water, air, or resources we have to survive. There is no life on other planets because whatever has been shown about life on other planets is all made up. Such as, UFO's and aliens they are made up by people who seek for attention and can't get it anyway other than by making up such a things as UFO's and aliens. With the way technology has improved anyone can say they have a picture of a UFO's or have seen some lights flashing like on the shows. There is no life on other planets because no concrete evidence of life other than life on planet Earth has been found. -Chel

Several individuals believe in a different life form, life forms that habitat the abyss. With the scientific research and data that exists one might ask, where is this other life form. Scientific researchers have spent years studying earth and its surroundings yet empirical evidence is to be found to prove the existence of these different life forms. No evidence has been found to date that would even suggest the existence of another life form. Scientists are in fact studying earth's surroundings for the simple reason that, our population continues to expand at a fast rate. And as the human race continues this expand we will need to expand our capabilities of being able to survive in a different habitat. Thus resulting in the reason why scientists have spent so many years studying earth's neighboring planets.

Many reports that have been filed or reported have been told by one or a couple of individuals but never from a mass audience. If there was really intelligent life out there with super advanced technology then there would have been a mass introduction of their existence to a large audience, where there would be no doubt or cover up that there is life out there. People would believe each other instead of debating whether or not the statement of "alien life" has been overstated.

well as far life is concerned on the red planet, ts kind of hard to believe that there is life on mars because as studies have shown the temperatures are far to cold an far to cold at times. which makes it impossible for some life t o be able to survive, well im thinkin as far as humans are concerned. but who kows. its kind of hard to believe that their ever was life on mars because so far after all of these years, we have yet to find some sort of physical evidence, besides signs of water, that there even once was life. im pretty sure if somethin was inhabitting the planet at one point then at least there ad to have been something that shows that somethin was there. since nothing yet has been found, i think that its reasonable to conclude that there hasnt been any life on the red planet. scientist are still unsure if we humans are able to breath in the atmosphere of mars, the way i see it, go to the planet and try it. ut who is crazy enough to possibly die in the name of science. well given these facts, im lead to believe that there is no life and never was life on the planet mars.

Scientists and researchers left and right have tried to answer one question, Are we alone in life? the common often ridiculous belief is that little green aliens live outside our planet. The truth of the matter is that no they probably do not. This idea is often boosted by the media. Now and days we have cartoons, television shows like “Phil Of The Future” that depict little green alien families, even Hollywood films have played their share in convincing the public that aliens exist, producing films like “Signs” starting Mel Gibson. The truth is that scientists are not looking for full blown, grown aliens, they are looking for conditions that might seem favorable to life. Thing such as water, bacteria, microbes and such. The truth is our resources are getting scare, with an ever increasing number in population we better start looking for other planets able to sustain us, the human race! In response to "my opponent to the left here" :) yes I am aware of the fact that water has already been found in Mars and that with some manipulation by man, perhaps Mars could in some way support life in its present state right now. So yes indeed if there is water there must be some sort of life, however much more than just water is needed in order to sustain the human race! we are exceedingly complex organisms that require certain conditions. For instance, all living things contain carbon within them and amino acids and proteins etc ... yes water becomes then a very important componenet but it would'nt be safe to say that "If there is water there is life." authored by Luna
