Do extraterrestrials exist? If so, why are they so chickensh__ to publicly show themselves in broad daylight?

Because the military believes in shoot first, ask questions later.

The problem is, that's all most people think aliens are; little green men who ride in weird-looking UFOs. Aliens, in the true sense, would be any form of life anywhere outside Earth. Now, in a universe filled with millions of galaxies, each galaxy with trillions of stars, and each star with at least 3 planets, what do you suppose are the chances that only ONE planet had the right conditions for life? Now, as for why they haven't come to Earth, ask why we haven't gone to them. We're always under the impression that aliens would be super-advanced and omnipotent, but why would they be if we're not? For all we know, we could be the OLDEST form of sentient life in the universe. And if not, and there are alines looking for life and listening for radio signals, if we sent a radio message to the nearest (possible) habitable star system, it would be hundreds of years before it got there. And who's to say they'd even be looking in our direction? To dispute the existence of alien life just because it hasn't made contact would be like saying cells don't exist because you can't see them without a microscope.

This is such a great question, I don't think they do exist though. They're probably just an amalgam of a hundred random faces you see in a day.

You can see many of them with the naked eye, and some of the get pretty darn bright.  You can even see the inetrantional space station when it passes overhead.  Of course any of these objects will jusst look like a star moving across the sky at a decent rate.  But it is pretty cool.\n\nhttp://www.heavens-above.com will tell you exactly what is visible from your location on any night, as well as where to look.  You'll need a little bit of amature astronomy knowledge (magnitudes, reading a starchart) to get much out of it, but it is an awsome resource for this kind of thing.

Hi, I answered this question earlier. I'm going to cut and paste it for you.\n--\nMost sightings happen at night. People see strange lights or shapes in the sky.\nMine happened in broad daylight. Crystal clear blue sky. About noon. No sun in my eyes. An object appeared in the sky directly in front of me. It was traveling parallel to the ground. It wasn't zipping along at lightning fast speed. It was fairly slow. About airplane speed. \nIt wasn't more than a half mile away. Fairly low in the sky.\nI could see every detail. The color. It was a semi-shiny or brushed metallic almost burnt looking. Very hard to explain. All one color. No markings. No lights. I could see the intricate patterns of the body. I wont ever describe them. I'm not planting any seeds. When I hear an identical description then I'll know it was real. You see this was 25 years ago. To this day nobody has matched the description. Not even close. I watched it for a few seconds. I was in amazement. It simply vanished. \n--\nPsst, don't take me wrong. I'm not discounting your sighting at all. Just because it was at night doesn't mean you didn't see it. I totally believe you. Look at my story. People tell me I imagined it. What do they know anyway!\n.

If UFO's were not real..why would the government have top secret classification for them?..they exist..and it is getting harder every day for certain governments of this world to continue to play this charade..There are thousands of wittnesses a year..there is a motive behind the "secret" and after being wittness for 30 years to governments and to UFOs..I would say that the reason its all being played this way is for the selfish greedy leaders to benifit and keep the control of people.  Think about it...all of a sudden we learn the truth...we are not alone..and we are NOT intelligent..but we find these aliens are very very smart..does that not begin to change our perspectives? Who do we start to listen too?...Who would have more control?..Who would lose out? \nSo we find these aliens and they are friendly and peaceful (part of being intelligent). That would pose a bigger threat to certain governments. The easiest way to control people is to keep them uneducated and to keep them in fear.

Very Fascinating  Query indeed...Even scientists are looking for its answer...Their existence has been detected several times but it has never been confirmed...Even Armstrong saw them on the Moon...A few years back, Mexican Air Force had detected some Unidentified Flying Objects(UFOs) that could only be seen with the help of an Infra Red equipment...but they couldn't exactly explain what the flying objects were...eventually this matter went into cold storage...SETI has been trying to detect Aliens on the darker side of the moon...the side which can't be seen from earth...special and powerful modern equipments are also being utilised for this purpose...Well lets hope that their are Aliens........and they do not hate us..

Rofl! That was going to be my answer.\n\nI think more than anything else, this is more a question of personal belief. It's like one of those "Is there a God" type questions, since even if somebody does know they answer they are not going to divulge it.\n\nTaking my own advice about the whole "personal belief" thing, I can honestly say that I think the government is more corupt than we could ever fathom, and they have gone from a government of the people to a government out to get people.\n\nI do also believe that sinister extra-terrestrials may play a large role in the corruption of our government... but that's me. The aliens are very much real, you know. And they are already here, and in about four or five years we will be hearing all about them.\n\nIlluminati? For all anybody knows they are real and they do have an influence among government officials.

None, they up in the Sky, best seen at night. The Earth does revolve around a Big Star that can actually be seen in the day and not night. Make for a good Word Play/Riddle question. ;-D

Many of the UFO's, that appear as LIGHTS, are actually Angels...celestial beings from another dimension.\nThe Bible says God is LIGHT.\nLight travels at such a speed that material objects cannot attain. It transcends time and physical space.\nElijah was taken up by these beings of Light.\nSPIRITS are merely beings that dwell in the dimension of Light. Of course there is also a dimension of darkness...where spirits dwell also.\nWe cannot see them because their dimension is going faster than our's.\nEnoch was also taken into this dimension of Light. His spirit attained a level of Spirituality that his physical/earthly body could not. Therefore, "he was not, for God took him".

I believe that they exist.  I believe that I have seen one, although the very nature of "Unidentified" makes it difficult for me to ascertain whether I have or not.\n\nOne night when I was camping, I saw what I thought was a formation of three planes flying across the sky at a rather low altitude.  I thought nothing more of it, until two of them STOPPED and hovered while the third one continued on.  It was quiet enough and close enough that had it been helicopters, I would have heard the chop of the rotors and engine, but all I heard was a very soft whirring, and no chop at all.\n\nSince that night (when I was 14), I've believed they exist.  I think Ezekiel saw UFO's too, as documented in the biblical book bearing his name.\n\nDo I think there's a government conspiracy?  No.  I think there just isn't enough evidence to warrant spending a lot of national resources on such a thing.  If we devoted resources to that, we'd have to cut the funding on the study of cow flatulence and its effects on the environment and global warming.

definitely, I mean so many people are so wrapped up in our lives that although we know there's outer space - we never think about it. It would be gr8 to know there are other things going on than what we can just see. Aliens (cos that's what they'll be even if they have two feet and two pairs of eyes etc) mark a whole new "time" for us - the potential to discover new things there may be things that could help us have a better quality of life that others have discovered that we haven't, to udnerstand more of what is going on around us. We think that knowing my stuff works is not important, but it definitly is... too many people live in ignorance and take things for granted.

Hey!  Don't put down a seemingly silly question that is under the alternate section of the science and mathematics area, especially under paranormal phenomena.  He has placed it in the right spot.  Be good little scientists and use logic and evidence to prove or disprove the topics brought up in here.\n\nI have never heard of shadow people myself.  I don't think we could ever sense "people" in another dimension or that they could ever sense or in any way interact with us because we are governed by different laws of physics.

Well, as often, maybe more often, as a group pops up claiming there are intelligent aliens from outer space - someone points out they are wrong.\n\nScientologists, either some or all, believe in aliens from outer space.  At least it is one of the tenets of their organization.\n\nThere was a rumor of an alien space craft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in the 1950s.  However, it turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by someone who was out there back then.\n\nI think he turned out to be someone who was an Air Force clerk that was stationed in the area at the time, and who was claiming at UFO events to have been a former AF intelligence officer.\n\nThe ruse was only conclusively refuted once he died.\n\nWho you believe depends on your own brain.\n\nPersonally, my belief is that there are none in close enough proximity to the Earth to be visiting us while we still exist as species homo sapien (i.e. "human") unless they left before our species evolved. That makes the odds of us and any encounters with an alien species pretty much non-existant.\n\nSo, you are left with a choice: either they don't exist, or they are completely irrelevant to us.  Either way, the answer is:  who cares?\n\nAgain, use your brain and decide for yourself.\n\nIf you believe anything that anyone tells you, then everything exists.\n\nI think what is far more interesting than the whole "alien race from outer space" question is the fact that many people are so quick to believe it. The so-called evidence is either flimsy, non-existant, based on wild conjecture, or yet another example of well-known fallacies often used in politics and silly day to day arguments.\n\nIf the facts are wrong or the logic is wrong, then it is wrong to accept the conclusion.

I think aliens exist, but I don't think they live among us. Think of Earth and all of the cosmic and environmental factors that are required to sustain and promote life.  I think it would be unusual for similar conditions to exist in other galaxies that will produce intelligent beings that look exactly like humans.

They don't exist.\n\nThey exist and have a level of technology similar or less advanced then we have.\n\nThey exist and have a superior level of technology.\n\nIf they have our level or a lesser level of technology it is not likely that we would know about them. With our current ability to communicate long distances it would take thousands of years to get a signal from the nearest galaxy, or to travel those distances. \n\n\nIf the have a superior level of technology we would probably not be able to detect them. \n\nSo, it is possible given the size and scope of the universe, however, it would be damn hard to prove.

There is extraterrestrial life out there .\nThe angelic conflict rages between fallen and elect angels.\nRecords show that angels have manifested themselves at times where people have been in trouble and they have needed rescuing.\nI personally have not seen one but worked in a hospice for a while and heard of patient encounters.
