Posts from UFO (The Truth Is Out There)

I wanted to ask... Do you believe in UFOs or paranormal phenomena like ghosts and the Loch Ness Monster...?

No, I don't believe it. It's all just fairy tales.

No, I don't believe it. It's all just fairy tales.

Why are you so sure about that??? Can you provide some arguments?

I, for example, believe in UFOs! But not the kind that fly in saucers and kill people, but rather small, single-celled organisms from other planets... The Loch Ness Monster is probably a myth...

Why are you so sure about this??? Can you provide some arguments?

I can: I don't believe it because I've never seen it myself.
For example, the story about mermaids: old fishermen saw them. But they were just drunk, and their thoughts were only about women and fish. That's how the mermaid appeared.

Where on Earth would we find organisms from other planets? I doubt they even exist.

well, firstly, I'm not saying that there are creatures from other planets on Earth)) they are on their planet, and we are on ours)) but with mermaids, that's probably true))) you're probably right

PROBABLY YOU ARE RIGHT! to believe it, you need to see it with your own eyes!!!!!!!!!!

I believe, but only in microorganisms, not in little devils from a flying saucer... after all, according to one theory, life came to Earth from another planet...

It’s not that I don’t believe in aliens and the like at all – I just approach such phenomena with skepticism. It seems to me that 90% of reports about all sorts of unusual facts are simply fabrications by people who have nothing to do, nothing to occupy themselves with, or who simply want to attract attention to themselves (...oh, how cool, they’ll show it on TV...).

A tale may be fiction, but it contains a hint of truth... I adhere to the presumption of possibility. That is, I prefer not to deny anything unless its non-existence has been scientifically proven.

If you accept the mathematical concept of infinity. Then: First: It is impossible to prove the IMPOSSIBILITY of anything... There is always a chance that at some point in time and space, ANYTHING exists. Second: Regarding the topic at hand. Extraterrestrial life exists. Similarly, anomalous phenomena exist.

If we assume that there is more than one solar system in the Universe, then we can say with the same degree of confidence that life exists there too...
And one can also disbelieve that America exists (I personally haven't been there), and that all the TV shows are just sensational stories designed to attract an audience:
and that the Earth is round and looks the way it does from space (I haven't been to space either).
Acknowledging the probability, in my opinion, is much more promising than simply disbelieving.

Generally, I agree with Laura Vita regarding the presumption, although only partially...
Now, regarding my opinion about "flying saucers":::cool:
In my early childhood, I was absolutely certain about the existence of aliens in flying saucers, but a little later I abandoned this idea (if I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it can't be real). Maybe it was all about age-related thinking – I only operated with extreme categories (Yes/No, Black/White)... But towards the end of school, my worldview began to change again, and I started to allow for the existence of aliens, and not only them, within reasonable limits, of course...
Now about the aliens, whose existence in a reasonable form I almost don't doubt:
1. There are many theories about the aliens themselves (who they are, where they come from, why and on what they fly to us, why they don't make contact with us – not just "little green men from another planet"). To say that they don't exist just because they don't exist is simply STUPID...:smile04:
2. (Statistical aspect)*: People have been looking at the stars for a long time (I look at them) and believed that gods live there... In our galaxy, there are about 100 billion star systems, and in total, according to scientists, our Universe consists of 200 billion galaxies (I read an article, it seems in "Geo"). As a result, a probabilistic value of the obligatory existence of intelligent life was derived... in general, the figure turned out to be very convincing...
3. The whole thing may be due to the peculiarities of human thinking. People unconsciously convince themselves of what they want to believe (and not only about aliens) and subsequently are very reluctant to change their views. There is a very unusual theory about self-deception in the Middle Ages, but that's a separate topic...
4. Over the 6-7 thousand years of human civilization, progress has moved very slowly. How the ancient Sumerians invented laws, irrigation, taxes, etc., everything remained practically unchanged for thousands of years – everything changed slowly... And then came the 20th century!!! A person who saw the first flights of airplanes becomes a witness to the beginning of the exploration of space... nuclear energy... computers... telecommunications... incredible military technologies... Doesn't this mean that they are preparing us for Contact...?
5. Romantic aspect*: How much we want to believe that we are not alone in the universe...
In general, I have briefly outlined my opinion regarding UFOs here, without touching on other things, such as Nessie, for example...
I look forward to your feedback on the topic, any criticism is welcome, except for obscene language, preferably with arguments...
And also – maybe I missed something – I just want to sleep!:D

Yeah, you might be right)) but think about it... 200 billion star systems... and there can't be any aliens in them? I remember one time when I woke up early in the morning and looked out the window!! and what did I see?? A perfectly clean flying saucer. I quickly got up and ran for my camera, and when I got there, I saw a street lamp, not a flying saucer)))))

But I do believe in ghosts...

Maybe you're right)) but think about it yourself...200 billion systems.. and there can't be aliens in them.. I remember one case when early in the morning I opened my eyes and looked out the window!! and what did I see there?? A CLEAR flying saucer; I quickly got up and ran for my camera, and when I rushed back, I saw a Lamp post and not a flying saucer)))))

But as for ghosts, I do believe in them...

...*flipping through the magazine-...the probability of life arising repeatedly in the Universe is approximately 400(!) times greater than the probability of life arising on Earth(...another formula)
...and in general—whatever you set yourself to, that's most likely what you'll see>>>you wanted to see a saucer—so you saw one...
But as for ghosts, I don't believe in them...:smile16:

maybe so)) but regarding "configured - saw," that's not quite right... I was asleep. And when I'm asleep, I don't think about anything... although, who knows...

Maybe so)) but the "I adjusted and saw" thing isn't quite right... I was asleep. And when I'm asleep, I don't think about anything... although, who knows...

That's not what I meant – it's just that the human mind is structured in such a way that you see what you can see, what you're aware of...
So, you were asleep, then you looked out the window, and what did you see? - A FLYING SAUCER! You saw something incomprehensible, and what was the first thing that came to your mind? - A FLYING SAUCER!!! If, instead of UFOs, another idea was widespread in society, for example, the idea of a MAGICAL FLYING GNOME, then you would most likely have seen that instead!;)
There's an interesting theory that in the Middle Ages, during the time of the Inquisition, it was quite possible for a person to encounter what we call the supernatural (devil, demon, angel). The point was that people were infinitely sure of their existence, and their consciousness focused on them, as on completely ordinary everyday things; it materialized the supernatural into a form that was easy to understand. For a person of that era, it was commonplace to talk to a demon, and then tell their neighbor about it, whom they saw just as clearly as the demon.
