    i don't really believe in aliens. i mean *maybe* they're out there, but if they ever found us they'd be so far advanced they'd have no reason to take notice of us either, unless we were in their way somehow.

    it'd be like explaining yourself to a cockroach before you stomp it to death.

    though i do believe in bigfoot so idk.

    Wouldn't it be ironic if we were the ones to find aliens and discover they're morons? After years upon years of science fiction leading us to believe aliens are some advanced species, the truth is revealed they're just....dumb.

    imo- if there *is* an alien race out there which was smart enough to establish reliable interstellar travel, they're very likely a peaceful race, who focused on the limits to which they could expand their minds and work together.

    i don't think they'd actually try to exterminate us, the cockroach analogy isn't a good one tbh- if anything they'd see us like we do a pet dog most likely, something to take care of and try to teach maybe.

    in return, i can only hope, if that alien race shows up to guide humanity some day, that we are able to introduce a man-made virus into their ship's ecosystem, slaughter the survivors and then harvest their technology for our own usage.

    They would probably watch us without our knowledge and turn it into an entertainment reality show. Not that I stole that idea from anywhere.

    Awesome. I just found it on YouTube. Thanks! <3

    Just to warn you, the youtube quality is very poor (at least the version I found).

    It's a seriously great program. The pilot interviews left me with this weird, wondrous, odd feeling where I wanted to go outside in the middle of the night and look up at the sky to see if I could spot any moving lights.

    Yeah, I've got it on now. We've gone through so many YouTube videos, some amazing ones with ex-military, and death-bed confessions from former pilots, generals, and folks involved in Project Blue Book.

    I've always thought this. Why do we assume they'd be so much more advanced? Maybe they shirk proper birth control or sometimes take three tries just to flip a light switch too.

    I think if you're talking about aliens visiting earth, you would have to assume they are pretty advanced to get here as they would have figured out interstellar travel...

    I don't know. It seems that I remember a documentary a few years back called Aliens vs Cowboys. Seemed pretty convincing to me. ;)

    its silly to be a believer, but i figure if you believe in aliens then why not bigfoot as well. he probably believes in you.

    plus there's been three bigfoot sightings in my hometown in the last 15-20 years. all at this one location i go to pretty regularly as well. i keep hoping for a sighting one day so i always take my phone with me. when i finally do get some footage i'm going to shoot in portrait mode.

    Will you also scream "Worldstar" while you're filming too?

    There are BILLIONS of stars out there and other galaxies. We can't even count the ones in our own and there are lots who summarize that there's no other life outside of our galaxy alone?

    Seems the universe is way too big for there not to be aliens out there.

    But I seriously doubt they are coming to earth and cutting up cows and abducting hill billies etc

    Pierogi, also known as varenyky, are filled dumplings of Central and Eastern European origin. They are made by wrapping pockets of unleavened dough around a savory or sweet filling and cooking them in boiling water.

    I hope there are aliens out there somewhere. And I hope they are more intelligent than humans.

    For some reason it makes me feel really lonely to think that Earth is the only planet that has "beings" on it.

    Don't know why...but the thought of all of space with nothing else...really disturbs me. And I don't feel like we are that special and unique.

    I'm a disaster, I don't know whats what most days...there has to be some intelligent sentient beings (I have hopes for the Universe)
