The odds of there NOT being life on another planet other than our own are astronomical. There has got to be other life out there just due to the size of our universe. The building blocks for life are extremely common throughout our solar system/galaxy/universe. All it takes it that one spark to get it goin and in hte right conditions "its on".

Keep in mind that human beings have only really been paying attention to this stuff seriously for the past couple hundred years. Thats it. Up until now we have brushed aside any past encounters as "folks lore" or "myths". The history of ancient peoples are abound with descriptions of creatures and beings coming from the skies. Gods, angels, strange beasts.. we may not have been "alone" all this time.. its just that no one believes anyone when they tell their stories.

Now remember again that humans have really only had electricity and technology that can really be called technology without a chuckle attached for the past 200 years or so. Before that time there were BILLIONS of years. Billions of years that other entire races and civilizations could have sprung up, burned out, and died. BIlLIONS of years where other life forms could have evolved up through the sludge to become sentient.

Now some have used this arguement to say "well if thre's all those billions of years why havent we seen them yet?" I say we have seen them. They've been here before.. and really may just not give a flying fuck. We would be nothing compaired to a race that can traverse time-space the way they could. Even now we'd be the equivalent of amoeba to them. They would most likely enter our orbit, study our primitive asses briefly, then move on to check out the other countless worlds that are twirling around the nearly endless vastness of this existance. Sure they may have a few stick around to watch us or pop in and out to check on us.. but really what reason would they have to contact us at all? What would they POSSIBLY want or need from us that they dont have?

I have heard the stores of US planes sent to shoot down alien craft before as well. I've also seen a few video accounts from US pilots who were sent to do it. Each of them will tell you that they were flat out out-classed when it came to speed and maneuverability. They could kick on the full burn and the aliens would fly circles around their sorry asses. At the very least we're a joke to them. At most.. entertainment.
