Whether you believe it or not depends on whether you are willing to consider it possible.

Incidentally, the depiction of ostriches here was misleading - the pictures he drew as a child (allegedly) looked more like praying mantids.

Even if you consider alien abduction is possible, there is no benefit to be gained from believing them all to be true - often they are fabricated for material gain (books sell)

OK I have an open mind on Aliens - it's possible!

Now the fact is if an Alien came down landed their craft on someones lawn and said "I want to talk to the person in this house!" Within minutes the house would be surrounded by Armed Police and cordoned off etc etc. You've seen the film "E.T." and what happens in this film - that is what would happen in reality also - that the government would isolate the Alien!

From the stand point it's clear why any Aliens there may be, would not openly visit any individual on this planet! What would happen has been documented in various Sc-fi films as stated; ET, Starman and The Man who fell to Earth! etc

The three books by Dr Karla Turner I found quite convincing as narratives of alien abduction phenomena - the books are free on the web.

Sorry Aliens.....
I deal in facts, things you can prove, not hearsay.


The image is the Pale Blue Dot, it is from 6,000,000 miles away.
A light year is 6,000,000,000,000 miles.
Is there intelligent life out there, well I would have thought so, but can they cross the interstellar distances, well maybe not.

Why would they visit, how could the even know we were here, assuming our radio signals (which travel at the speed of light) can be detected far into space, where they get weaker, we could have passed 4000 stars by now. Hardly a lot in terms of space.

Still who knows, maybe Zaphod is at a party in isslington

Now that's proof! I hope the Vogons don't come!

I heard that Cllr Parkes had undergone a psychiatric assessment to prove he was of 'sound mind'. The doctor asked him ten questions including name, date of birth, date of Battle of Hastings etc, etc. It was going well until 10th question when the doctor asked him "Do you think Ed Milliband will win the next election?" Cllr Parkes answered "Yes, or course".

When your concept of travel is limited by boundaries of time, distance and velocity you neccessarily conclude that. There may well be other ways not yet known to our primitive minds.

Recall the time of the invention of the steam passenger train, when it was commonly thought that it was impossible for the human body to withstand speeds above 60mph.

I would have thought you coud have done better Margaret, maybe the sound barrier, described as a wall, your controls would freeze and the aircraft would disintegrate.

What you are suggesting really is Si Fi
