My System: Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!) | They're already here, do you really think Dale Winton is human with that tan?! Seriously, I doubt 'they' will even make themselves known to us until we are evolved enough, and that's if we make it that far.

Blog Entries: 2 My System: Dm500, TM9100, Pace Sky+ box, 1M Dish. Motect 2100.. 43Inch Plasma, Wii, PS2. | I believe personaly that Aliens have been and gone.. back to the point of the stone age mankind lived in caves, with no tools or methods to survive.. I believe aliens landed, shown humans how to make tools and and methods of surviving in return the stone age people made the pyramids and crop circles.. There would of been no way for people in the stone age to create the pyramids on such a large scale and they definatly didnt have the tools to acuratly calculate their positions.. Aliens then left and the aliens are what we now call God.. my 2p :S

My System: I bet on red. If I lose, I double the bet on red again. I continue with this until I lost everything.  Muhuhuhahahahahaaaaarrrgggh | Yeah, not only are aliens here already, one of them is an admin muhahahahaaaaa Seriously, I don't "believe" in aliens as I don't "believe" things like that, unless I have seen them or it can be scientifically be proven. Or if I see it on TV on discovery. But I do believe that the chances of life somewhere in the universe is quite big, considering that just in our own galaxy there are hundred billion star systems. I just hope that when they find us they won't like the taste of us, and that their own morality is a bit better than ours. Consider if we were to find a planet of juicy chickens, the first thing we do is a grill party. So hopefully he big hairy 8 legged insectoid alien with an intelligence of 300 IQ does not see us as simply speaking chickens or summing.

I believe we have been studied.... and they left us alone, cos were all nuts!!! (nuts and chicken?... starting to sound like a recipe LOL) if an alien did show up, we would probably try and kill it. which is probably why they havent

The Arrival (best alien film IMO) dealt with the Earths climate being adapted to suit the visitors at the expense of the natives. Forget Arrival 2. Independence day was just a shootem up, and none the worse for it, but I wonder where the sequel went. And then of course there is Southpark and Cartmans 'probing'
