Are UFOS space-craft from other star systems?
449024
English lesson 101:\n\nU. F. O. means Unidentified Flying Object. So if I take an object that you cannot identify and throw it in the air, that's a UFO.\n\nChances are, a space craft from another planet would/could be a UFO, but not all UFO's are from space.\n\nSo now I ask you, if I identify a space craft from another planet as a Flying Saucer, it is no longer unidentified. So therefore, would it be an IFO?

I believe that there are some [living] astronauts in the International Space Station as we speak.\nTechnically, this would be considered "living forms in space".\n\nBeyond that, (aliens, etc...),\nwe do not know, but it given the sheer number of stars in the universe, there is certainly a chance.

Yes! We would be arrogant if we thought we are the unique beings on the whole galaxy!\nHowever, I don't believe anyone has ever seen a UFO. It's just in our imagination.

yes of course there are other aliens and such that we dont know about. why would god just make us and not anything else. they do exist.

Since "UFO" means unidentified flying object, there is really no answer.  Once you believe that something is from outer space, it would not be a UFO any longer.\n\nHaving said that, there is a principle called "Occam's razor."  This principle states that if different theories agree with observations, then the theory with the most simple assumptions is the one that should be chosen.\n\nBecause "Flying Saucers" require many assumptions, such as faster that light travel, ET's, technology we are unaware of, this theory violates Occam's razor. \nSo the best theory is that UFOs are simply hoaxes, delusions, or misinterpretations of natural phenomena.\n\nIf ET's did want us to know of them, I don't beleive anyone would be able to supress that knowlwdge.  If aliens did not want us to know about them, then they would not do bizarre things, like make crop circles, return people who had witnessed them doing their surgeries, mutilate livestock.\n\nOnce, I was with someone who was seeing a "UFO."  It turned out to be an unlit streetlamp reflecting other lights.

By definition, there ARE UFOs drifting around somehwere in space.  It stands for Unidentified Flying Object, and that can consist of just about anything that we can't identify.  The real question is:  is there other intelligent life in space?  The answer to this, no one knows.\n\nPersonally, I think there is.  But that's just me.

i believe they exist, only because I believe that the universe doesn't end meaning that mathematically on some other planet, it maybe one out of the speed of light, but it is possible beacuse theere are millions apon billions of other galaxcies all with many other planets and chances of producing life\n\nhowever with that being said the closest galaxies have aready been examined and concluded impossible to produce life as the planets of the other systems are way too harsh to support life, let alone intellegent life, not too mention those galaxies are light years away, so any one who beleives in alein encounters are bogies.

since UFO simply means Unidentified Flying Object, anything you see zipping about in the sky that you can't identidy is a UFO... so yeah, you sorta have to believe in them.  ;)  \n\nas for creatures from another planet finding us, the possibilities of that are slim, due to the vastness of the universe.  travel at or above the speed of light is impossible, as that's when you get complete molecular and atomic disintigration.  the only way life can travel distances is if energic beings exist, or if it's in some primitive seed state, dormant inside some meteor, but that's not all that likely, especially since when simple protein molecules impact at those high speeds known to meteors, they change..  forming amino acids.  this is cool, as such can help form the building blocks of life, but i cannot imagine that such would actually spawn life, but hey, life is a product of environment, so if a species evolved to spread as such, then so be it.\n\nback to sentient beings finding us, let's say they mastered interstellar travel..  at speeds that don't cause their matter to break up, they could travel, but their ships would have to be of some sort of colony-type, so that the decendents of those who set out would be the ones that eventually "got there"...  and then our planet would be little more than a pile of resources they'd just end up taking, than some opportunity for some cool star-trekkish interstellar alliance.  ;)

To each their own..But I say YES...there have been UFOs that have crashed in the U.S. and more recently Russia..in 1983. Anyone can say no it is not true..but they are also ones who want hard facts...think they deserve hard facts...live very shallow lives...we have been visited through out the history of mankind..that is obvious..it has been recorded..if you look you will see the obvious.. Yes they are real..Yes the governments have been hiding the facts on this from the world..But there are governments that are beginning to come clean a slowly release information that was deemed CLASSIFIED. Millions have seen objects that are not terrestrial. The truth will be revealed to us eventually..I for one have seen several crafts and objects in my lifetime..I cannot believe anything other that WE ARE NOT ALONE...nor are we as intelligent as we boast we are...that.. can be seen daily..Time will reveal the truth. Then all the non believers can..crawl back under their rocks ..and continue to lead their shallow lives.

many astronauts have reported seeing UFO's.  The Edge of Reality by J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee, (Regenery: Chicago, 1975)  might be a worthwhile place to begin a search on the details.

Yes, I believe in UFOs and ALL that other stuff...lol..actually I have seen many objects throughout my life. A few include a massive rectangular object in the sky the size of a football field that would have taken your breath away. \nMore recently in mid afternoon, I saw a silver disc object in the sky right above me as I was in the boat fishing in the middle of my lake. It blew me away.. after watching it for a couple or few minutes it shot straight up into the blue sky. It was unreal the speed of the craft..and it was instant speed..speed we dont have here..\nAnother more recent was during the last summer at my lake.. around midnight... August evening.. I saw an elongated white diamond light at the edge of my lake in the west north west sky..it struck me as being very strange..Its intensity grew to the intensity of a very bright spot light over the few minutes that I watched it..I was on my boat laying there looking up at the stars when I spotted it..I was freaked right out when it became brighter..I had thought maybe something was burning up in the atmosphere..then I realized it was not moving ..I was ready to run but thats when the object dimmed and then it shot straight up into the night sky...the speed was unreal.. \nSame lake last summer my buddy and I saw  a orange glowing sphere just sitting there in the sky..the object was itself was orange. We watched it for a few minutes then I tried to get closer but eventually lost it as I was moving through the trees. \nAlso this fall I had spotted a backwards c in the sky..it was like a jet contrail white but it never changed appearance..and it travelled west. I watched it for 45 minutes as it past right by a jet airliner heading east..real close..then it eventually dissapeared out of sight in the western horizon..\n\nWe brag we are intelligent..\nWe are too young to be as smart as we claim. \nThe first step to intelligence is to realize we are not intelligent.

ufos are baloney.  They are anything but what people think they are.

yes I believe in aliens..I have seen several objects in the sky both day and night..the speeds and the instant speed...they arent ours ..thats for sure...   ...humans want proof of UFOs...lol..why is it we think we deserve proof?..when the time comes..if the time comes ..I am sure the truth will be revealed to us...

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..

No..but if you are lucky enough to actually witness their technology..: UFO/disc/sphere/..etc..it certainly closes any doubt involving the questioning of the existence of extraterrestrials. I have been witness several occasions..day and night to objects in the sky..I certainly wasn't looking for them..I just happen to look up at the right times..but perhaps in the near future if we are lucky ..we can get more governments throughout the world to come clean..and fill us in..on what many believe and some even know...that we are not alone..here or the universe

U.F.O. is "unidentified flying object", so yes, there are. \nThe best evidence that there is more advanced technology than the general scientific consensus is able to agree upon is here: http://www.ufoevidence.org/topics/belgium.htm\n\nAre they alien? Depends if you believe that everything in your science textbook is gospel. If you do, they are. If you don't, they are probably government-owned and operated, along with a huge propaganda machine to keep anyone from finding out if there are or are not aliens involved. Either way, they know how to pick up our fighter aircraft's radar signals, so they probably have some link to our 'backward' technology in order to do so. Would aliens automatically worry about our missile control systems? Maybe. Would an advanced earth-based crew want to be backward-compatible with their own threats? Absolutely.

Sure. I see lots of flying objects that I can't identify. That doesn't mean that they are spaceships full of little green men, but it does mean they are technically unidentified flying objects.
