    There's no proof that they do or don't. So I can't say that they do or don't.

    Hello c2news

    Does Extraterrestrial highly intelligent life exist?

    There is no reason to assume that only on earth there is life in the universe.
    Nor is there any logical reason for that life not to grow to a level of high intelligence.
    With so many planets in many hundred of thousands of millions of solar system in many hundred of thousands of millions of galaxies, who are you or I to say anything else?

    Are UFO real
    Based on the enormous quantities of possible planets with life there surely will be many UFO's. However : if these ever have visited the earth? That is highly unlikely.
    To build an UFO one has to be intelligent. But why would intelligent life visit earth? That would be unintelligent in view of our human aggression.

    And also of course due to the consequences of space travel at near lightspeed that would make space travel rather uninviting, with contact upon arrival at a planet with intelligent life surely immediate. But that has never happened before.

    :rolleyes:

    People use to not believe in UFO's because only 'crazy nobody's' claimed to see them and
    Most all the photos and so forth were fake home made things But anymore
    Many pilots and air force people have reported seeing UFO's
    Here is a list of SOME famous people that have seen UFO's

    Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich
    In Sept. 1982 Kucinich claims to have seen a large triangular craft over the home of actress Shirley MacLaine in Graham, Washington. Kucinich said the craft hovered motionless for 10 minutes before it sped away at a speed that defies explanation.

    * Singer and former Beatle John Lennon
    On Aug. 23, 1974 John Lennon claims to have seen a UFO in the skies over New York City while walking with his secretary. Lennon said the craft had a flattened cone and a brilliant red light on top.

    * Apollo 11 Astronaut Buzz Aldrin
    On July 18, 1969 - just as his craft was completing its historic moon landing, Aldrin claims to have seen an L-shaped UFO that was close enough to be observed through the viewport.

    * Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter
    On Jan. 6, 1969 former U.S. President Jimmy Carter reported seeing a UFO in the skies over Leary, Georgia. Carter said the UFO was big and bright and estimated it was about the size of the moon.

    * U.S. Senator Richard Russell
    While on a fact-finding mission to the former Soviet Union on Oct. 13, 1955, U.S. Sen. Richard Russell says he saw a UFO while on a train. The sighting was confirmed by a military aide and interpreter, who added that a second UFO appeared a minute after the first one flew away.

    * CBS News Anchor Walter Cronkite
    In the 1950s Walter Cronkite was covering the launch of a new Air Force missile on a small island in the South Pacific island when he noticed a large disc-type UFO. Cronkite later estimated the object was about 50-60 feet in diameter and dull grey in color. The craft had no visible means of propulsion and hovered 30 feet above the ground.

    Also much of ancient history has UFO's in their art so where did they get the idea if they didn't see them?

    It's important to distinguish between UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence. UFOs are simply unidentified flying objects, something in the sky that somebody couldn't identify right away. It could be a plane, or a rocket booster a long way away, a light shining on the underside of a cloud, a flock of birds.

    Is there extraterrestrial intelligence? Most biologists and astronomers think it's likely that there is life elsewhere in the universe and that some of it is intelligent. But will it come here? Probably not. So the UFOs are probably not extraterrestrial beings, but simply things that people can't identify. People cannot identify a lot of things, including all kinds of spiders, bugs, different kinds of construction equipment, bizarre tools. But it's only when they see something overhead they don't recognize that they conclude it's Martians!

    A very poignant quote that might help you (and I'm sorry I can't remember who to attribute it to but.. ) "To assume that we are the only intelligent life in the universe is to think that in an entire field sown with millet only one grain will grow."
    It helped me put some perspective to the probability of life outside our solar system.

    A lot of UFO's end up being military airplanes, I'm sure there are dozens of classified experimental airplanes that are being mistaken for alien ships... again it's important to remember that a UFO means an object in the sky that can't be identified at the moment it is seen.

    I remember back in the 80's a lot of people saw "small triangular black spaceships" that could (and most likely were) the F117A, these signtings were mostly at night so fine details could not be seen.

    F-117 Nighthawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    And still others around the same time saw very wide triangular ships moving much slower, sometimes in the same area, could have been a B-2

    B-2 Spirit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    As for alien life, the universe is so huge I think it's not possible that there ISN'T other intelligent life out there, but they may not have ever come here.

    I am sure that life from other star systems travel all that way to visit trailer parks and do cow and sheep experiments.

    Actually there were ancient Gods on earth long before man ever existed, these were known as the " great old ones " or the Ancients , and some seem to say they are extraterrestrial's as they came from other Galaxies, but were banished by the " Elder Gods " for doing wrong. But should come again when the Stars are right. As they are just in a Deep slumber dreaming.

    Of course you saw something real. It was flying and it was unidentified. But it probably wasn't extraterrestrial. Over the years, I have seen a Russian rocket booster burning up, several Vandenberg rockets, many shooting stars and bolides (fireball meteors, which can break up), aurora borealis, gegenschein, and other lights in the sky. All interesting and often spectacular. The difference was that I was lucky enough to know what I was looking at. Flying, but identified.
