Ooh! I'm jumping in it now! UFO's?

No, you still got it wrong.
there is only one alien a great large, green alien
His name is jolly, he hangs out in the valley hoeing peas (?)
don't talk much, only an occasional ' ho, ho, ho'
works for Libby's

He has a part time job, making great large pea boats,
owl and pussycats are snapping them up

yes I do believe in these creatures -- I saw a oblong ship last year when had just moved -we live in open
field space in the uk. it never moved just still ' odd shape but stood out from the dark clouds ;
 
There must be something.

From the 1950s on there were thousands of
sightings of unidentified flying things, but
since every mobile telephone became a super
-duper camera, they have all disappeared or
have got camera shy, I can't remember the
last time I heard one mentioned except in a
movie.

I agree with you [most anything is possible] & Pecos....that the universe is so vast, that it is almost arrogant to think we are the only ones.

Ten or so years ago, I saw something [three somethings] in the sky, just past dusk, directly over my house. I could not identify them. So that made them UFOs , but! That does not mean they were extraterrestrial.

If they had landed?.....I would have offered them a beer. If they are here? and land in my yard?....they are too smart to fight with.........might as well have a cold one.

I check the 'on-line' list of sightings on occasion , they are still being reported.

In Star Trek they have "warps". It's only science-fiction, but maybe someday they WILL know how to speed travel.

Anything is possible, but Einstein has a pretty good record so far. The Large Hadron Collider at Cern is over 16 miles in circumference and uses a huge amount of energy just to accelerate subatomic particles to close to the speed of light. The mass of an object approaches infinity as it nears that velocity.

Things like worm holes and folds in the universe are just theories now. Whether they exist or are useful, who knows? But, I think it's a long shot.

We're just infants in the space age right now. I doubt that the inventor of the calculator would have envisioned computers that we hold in our hands (smartphones). Warps and worm holes etc. may not sound doable now, but even Einstein could not explain Black Holes. I'm just sorry that I won't be around another 300-500 years to see it all come to pass. 😭 :(
 
Carl Sagan said "I'll believe it when I see it." Discounting 100% of the videos we have seen is a little questionable. As far as the enormity of the universe it is only as enormous as is our ability to travel through it. Just on last Monday on "Cosmos" the theory of speed is being addressed by the people of science even time travel. If scientists did not believe it may be possible why then would they be dedicating their working lives on the subject? What will science and technology look like in one thousand or one million years? I don't believe either way but to rule out life elsewhere is silly. It does not have to be intelligent life but biological life I firmly believe exists in the universe.

Many scientists will at least privately profess a belief that intelligent alien life exists in the universe somewhere. That life may not look like us, or be what we expect. As to when we will contact such life or they us (perhaps via radio waves or other transmissions), I've heard a time frame mentioned of perhaps within thirty years...

Thirty years may be a little too soon, IMO.

Or maybe not. George Orwell published "1984" in 1949 and now some of it has come to pass. We are being watched (cameras) and our habits analyzed by both the government and social media (like Google and FB etc). I find it creepy, but also time saving, when I'm asking something of Google and it guesses what I'm trying to type.

You're right of course. In my electronics classes we spent half our time on vacuum tube circuits. Transistors were new, and had limited applications. We could never imagine the micro-electronics of today. Flat screen TV's were just a dream. If you could take a smart phone back in time, they wouldn't have a clue of how it works.

So, anything is possible. It would be nice if we could evolve into something like the Star Trek world. But, there are many potential pitfalls besides the point that it may just be technically impossible. I worry a bit about humanity hundreds of years from now. Even if the climate doesn't kill us, we are using up resources at an alarming rate. Our civilization is built on petroleum. It will run out. Will we find and incorporate alternatives? Are we smart enough? From what I see now, I find it somewhat doubtful. It is so easy to slip into chaos when times are tough.
