I don't think I have. I saw something weird in the sky the night the Pistons beat the Lakers for the NBA title in 2004. But that was probably just a collective physical manifestation of Lakers fan's disbelief floating away into the night sky. Lets get real, are there aliens or not? If you're an alien please let me know, but only if you're an E.T. alien and not an Alien alien.
That would make for an awesome movie though.
There have been so many sightings and reports of alien activity, but I haven't seen any concrete evidence, which leads me to believe there aren't any. But then I feel like anything is possible because of the size of our universe and everything we don't know. What would it mean to you personally if there were aliens? Whoever you are, whether you believe in a God, or if you are an atheist or an agnostic. It would really mean something for different for everyone. Would it be terrifying? Would it shake your faith? Would it dislodge everything you hold to be true? Would you be excited about it like the people on top of the skyscraper in Independence Day?
If we were to find some sentient life on other planets, or if they were to find us, I think it would shake my faith some. As a believer of intelligent design I would want to know if they are privy to the same benefits I have found in my faith. Essentially did Jesus die on the cross for them too? I can't answer that question.
I don't think I could trust an alien either. That makes me speciesist I think. If a sentient life form came to earth I don't see why they would be friendly, they have come to harvest us or force us into slavery. . And you know what? They should. We would do it to them. Shoot, America was founded on kicking people out of their homes. Have you not seen Avatar? Also aliens probably don't have the same moral guidelines that are loosely enjoyed here on Earth. Who knows what they are like, we are limited to the framework of what we have experienced on Earth, so as humans we limit their capabilities. That's whats strange about aliens, they could already be living among us controlling our every move. You would never know.
If that's the case I know who to call.
Let me put a little science fiction twist on U.F.O sightings.
We are our own aliens. Perhaps in the future time travel is discovered by the American government and strictly regulated. The government comes up with this time travel law that says that you can use it for research, but you must not interfere with any culture or society that you encounter. So they have to stay in their time travel aircraft and do their research from the air. Obviously since they know the technology of the time they are going to they know how to stay off radar and how to stay undetected. But every now and then as they are flying over a rural highway in the middle of the night a redneck sees them. That would explain U.F.O sightings wouldn't it? Its just us, from the future. Just think if you were from 1955 and you saw a DeLorean flying above you? What would you think it was a U.F.O or a time machine?
