      Science is all about the data, ehab2k11, and as far as I know, there is absolutely no hard data (and a bunch of conspiracy theories is not data). Makes great fodder for movies and TV, but not the stuff of science.

      If you ask me could there be aliens? Different question, and absolutely there could. My money is on bacteria. They are incredibly adaptable, and can live in all sorts of extreme environments – pretty much everywhere on earth we look for them, we find them, even at extremely high or low temperatures, or in concentrations of acid or base that would eat our flesh away. Pretty versatile things.

      Hi ehab,
      No, I don’t think there is any proof that aliens have visited earth. The secret service might be hiding something (that’s their job after all) but it’s probably something they’ve benn up to themselves rather than aliens.
      If aliens had visited, why would anybody try to hide it… it would be great fun 🙂

      I think probably not. If there were aliens then why would only the secret services know about it? Unless aliens have some peculiar desire only to make contact with secret services, which seems fairly unlikely.

      no sadly there isn’t! i really wish there was evidence that we were all really kept in the dark about aliens by the CIA. But there isn’t.
      Firstly i think the secret services are in reality pretty lame and would never have the ability to keep such a big discovery from us.
      Secondly i don’t believe aliens have come to earth. It’s just to far to come. Why would they? If they’re interested in making contact, they would send us radio mesages, which would travel here at the speed of light! Much faster than their spaceships (this though is a guess – they could have a warp drive, but as i have no evidence that one is possible i have to (reluctantly!) say they are impossible).
      I do though believe in aliens…. just not here, and (probably) not little green men!
