Roll on thursday BigGrin

There has been so much on various news sites and tv recently hinting that more is known than we have ever been told.

So many things in the skys being reported.

Although if we get to meet the alien on tv would it be NASA that would give the announcement? Who would take that honour of updating the world?

Happy Modelling

Not the Alien news we were hoping to hear but NASA's Kepler space telescope has discovered an eighth planet in a distant star system called Kepler 90 - the first time a faraway star has been found to have the same number of planets orbiting it as our own sun.

It is a shame because i was expecting something better. Although in one of the news stories on the bbc website thursday there was something about a meteor that had anoddshape and could be alien related.

I guess "the powers that be" put the mockers on them telling us "they are already here amongst us". Blink

OK, OK, I take the hint!

Jeez. Just because I haven't posted an update in my build thread!

LOL

Seriously though.

although I believe it's true that in an infinite space, anything can and will happen, I don't believe we will see any non-terrestrial life.

Nearer the core of the galaxy, there is more solar radiation, it is more reasonable to suppose that life started there before anything here, and that therefore life there is already over [or so different to us, we wouldn't recognise it] due to the intense radiation.

Slightly further in than us, but still a long way out along the galactic disc, we may find more advanced civilisations, but there is still a major amount of luck required. If you take a point slightly smaller than our radius and then rotate that point around the galactic disc, the distance we'd have to search is almost immeasurable - at least with current technology.

Further out, civilisations, if any, would be younger. We could move outward and end up giving nukes to Neanderthals. That would increase our odds of being top of the civilisations in the Galaxy!

And we haven't met any aliens so far because we wouldn't recognise then if we had. The 'Grays' are a figment of our collective imaginations. Their short stature and spindly legs suggest a world with a lower 'gravity'. Unfortunately, although this would also require less muscle mass to hold up those huge heads, this would undoubtedly mean that every one of them would break their necks without some serious support here on Earth.

And speaking of heads, unless those eyes of theirs are compound eyes like an insects, there is no space left in them for brains as so much would be taken up with the eyes and mouth.

IF aliens do exist, the chances are that their race died out long before we arrived on the scene, or that we are so far away from them that we'll never find them, or that they'll come after humans have long left the stage, or that we'll never recognise them for what they are. either way, I don't see much to make a fuss about.

Its coming and it aint called "Paul" Flapper

There is something going on BigGrin LOL LOL and according to the latest tv programne ( no not "CarnationEastenders") we may already be hybrids of what the powers that be want to tell us all about but cannot ( oh i did nearly split my sides).

If you are stuck on what to do when you go to bed at night ( and do not start making up your own jokes here) i have been tuning into a couple of episodes of porridge or open all hours just for a bit of nostalgia, but the best "comedy" comes on with a programme called "Ancient Aliens".

Apparently they have "been there", "done that". But what gets me is they never seem to have come back - maybe it was Swindon they visited because while born and brought up here i would only want to visit once as a "visitor".LOL
