I just counted 16 'guests' reading this - members are more concerned with the fate of Accrington Stanley - typical

They speak English in Preston

Maybe they came for the pies.

I do believe that there is life in the Universe, other than us (thank god) ... in fact, I think I believe that the Universe is alive, or is life .... but I can't believe that "they" are given to the kind of travel and the kind of "visiting" that many would have us believe .... popular theories of "aliens" and "UFOs" are just too simplistic, merely Hollywood archetypes (if "archetypes" can be that recent or modern). UFOs are most likely an accidental creation of American movie "culture" ... and are about as real as American fast food is nutritious. Still, I like reading about them ... and I love science fiction (Asimov's 1950s Foundation trilogy is one of my favourite reads) ... but, it's fiction, about as "real" as reality shows.

some of us in California believe we already have a colony of Aliens amongst us , they live inside Mt. Shasta .....one of the most beautiful spots on earth

Mysterious Mt. Shasta

Obviously...because it's far more important than a mere trifle like the discovery of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

UFO's and Aliens might exist, however Margaret, a man in the LEP and some UFO Sighting forum, is pretty hard to believe.

I do think that we are not alone in the universe. But how do others know we are here?
Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI), SETI Institute - SETI Institute Homepage, have sent a signal into space, but it will take 21,000 light years to reach it's target, and thats on the edge of the Milky Way, our Galaxy. Which is only one of Millions of Galaxy's in the observable universe.

Radio Waves travel at light speed which is 5,878,630,000,000 Miles (Approx) per year.

So we have some deep space probes, Pioneer 10 is the furthest traveled probe, launched in 1973 and is on a trajectory to leave the solar system.

So assuming that alien intelligence had the ability to travel many light years at once, the universe is estimated at least 93 billion light years across, we could have visitors. But as I said how do they know how to find us?

One last point, if there are superior beings out there, looking at us, they could have made contact, if nt why not. If the technology exists to travel interstellar distances, then they would have no problem in solving our language and even could disarm our weapons making it almost impossible for us to hurt them, when they visit us.

So as I said, very unlikely.

You maybe surprised Margaret, but on this subject I don't need convincing, I have long been of the opinion that we are not alone. When I lived in Rossendale I regularly went out at night with my mate and took up residence on the moors overlooking the Valley. When I was first told about the possible settings I was very sceptical to say the least, it wasn't until I experience my first sitting that I started to think maybe there is something out there, I lost count of the number of times we saw unexplainable lights of different shapes and sizes moving at great speeds through the night sky

And its got nothing to do with BAe systems having a factory at Warton and another at Samlesbury

Boeing Guy - your approach is scientific but limited by known science.
Just expand your mind to the following possibilities
...language is uneccessary when you converse via telepathy which uses exchange of images
...long distances are not a problem when you can bend space/time to suit, and can move between dimensions 3 and 4 (so be invisible to us stuck in 3)
...even longer distances are not a problem when you have bases on planets in our solar system.
