Also, light travels at 186,600 miles PER SECOND. At that speed, it takes four years for light from the nearest star (other than the sun) to get here. It takes light from many of the stars we see in the night sky millions of years to get here at that incredibly fast speed. I seriously doubt that anyone from anywhere else is coming here.
Toby, maybe you've got to give the fishing a break and take up a daytime sport like golf that lets you get some more sleep.

VERY TRUE. Some of the stars we see in the night sky may not even exist anymore.

you are not thinking about inter dimensional travel though..

where you pop thru from one dimension to another...

and alien beings that are a million more years advanced can do things
that we could neither understand or believe possible...

True, they must have better acid than we do.

When we do admit/publicly meet life from elsewhere in the cosmos, organized religion is going to take a hit.

I don't think we are the only life form out there but who knows what happened at Roswell? It was during the cold war, we played disinformation games with the Soviets, so who knows?

About 10 years ago I walked into my living room in Yuma, AZ and turned on the tv. The announcer was asking a question along the lines of "Does anyone know what those lights are?"My instant response was "flares dropped from a jet". It turned out that what I was watching was a news broadcast from Phoenix and people were in a panic over the Phoenix Lights. UFOs they said. Solid proof right here on all the networks in Phoenix. It couldn't possibly be anything but UFOs. Witnesses were coming up with wild stories on what the lights did despite video evidence that all they did was disappear, slowly.
Sure enough they found out that the mysterious lights were in fact flares dropped from jets doing night manuevers out of Luke AFB. Of course there are a few of the nut jobs that claim it is a cover up, Phoenix was being warned or surveilled.......
