    Seven Earth-like planets around a single star

    This seems to be the big announcement NASA was promoting.

    It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.

    Have you guys ever read about the Fermi Paradox?
    Here's a very good but long write up about it.

    I think it's a fascinating, yet sobering view of just how insignificant we probably are, and how huge the universe it.

    Now we just need to find Zefram Cochrane, get warp engines, and get off this rock before the new ones are too populated!

    Another UFO sighting by multiple pilots?

    Maybe the airlines should spend a couple hundred more bucks on their planes and add a dashcam.

    Like you want to pay even more for your baggage fees to cover that.

    I don't take baggage anymore. I wear all of my clothes in layers and stuff the pockets with my tooth brush and shaving kit.

    An object, which appears to be flying, and is not yet identified. That's a very far cry from declaring something to be an alien craft from outer space. Just saying.

    You shut your mouth and let me believe what I want to believe. Just saying.

    UFOs are humans sent back in time. That's why the greys look like us. Would aliens from another planet coincidentally look like they evolved from apes? 2 arms, 2 legs, five fingers? No way, they'd have evolved from some completely different animal.

    Also, without warp drive you can't really explore the galaxy, the distances are too large. Even at the speed of light it takes 100,000 years to traverse the Milky Way. Thing about warp drive is, it doesn't just warp space, it warps spacetime, meaning any warp drive will also function as a time machine. And with time travel and space travel being effectively the same thing, who's most likely to come to this planet at this time? We are.

    The greys are us, after some thousands of years of evolution.

    If a plane is coming straight them, they'd never see it....

    Wonder what it was....over NM, probably a test.

    I cant imagine a civilization having the technology to visit us, hovering at 40,000 feet so a commercial airline would see them.

    So you've seen them?
