Life on other planets?

Being realistic do you think we will ever find life on other planets know
matter how small it is.
I dont think we will unless we put it there.

Ever is a long time. I'm not prepared to say we never will, nor do I believe
such a discovery is right around the corner.

I believe that life of some sort probably exists elsewhere in the universe,
but the chance we will find it in our lifetime is remote.

I think our only possibilities would be Mars or one of the moons of either
Jupiter or Saturn. Considering the fact that we've largely given up on space
travel, it is unlikely we'll go to any of those places to actually see for
ourselves.

Has anyone ever think that we might NOT be the only intelligent beings
on the planet?

Don't you think that there's something strange with all of these focus
on SETI and the lack of focus STI (Search for Terresttrial
Intelligence)?

All of the reports on alien sightings (either reported or rumored)
happened on Earth and near Earth areas (including the moon), don't you
think that we should instead be more terrestrial on our search?

I don't believe we should be "searching" at all. It isn't our business,
really, and is of no benefit to anyone but philosophers (who need to prove that
we are commonplace and pathetic).

Let's put our energy and resources into our own life and knowledge base.

Unless you're a member of a pre-neolithic tribe that
inhabits the African rift valley then you put the
lie to your own statement by your very existence.

Jean-Jacques Velasco published in France a book called:
Ovnis, l'evidence.

Velasco is the head of the section of the CNES that investigates
the UFO phenomena. The CNES is the NASA equivalent in
France.

In english the title can be translated as: UFOs: the evidence.

And it is that: a convincing sample of the visitors whereabouts
and doings.

For instance the recit of several UFOs that went to the Pentagon and
the White House at the beginning of the fifties. After several hours, some
planes did take off to "investigate".

Then, the UFOs went away. They only came back when the planes
returned and landed. !!!

I will not repeat the whole recit here. There are many others,
completely clear and very documented. The CNES is one of the few
official organisms that investigates this phenomena and even if it
doesn't officially endorse this, the evidence is there.

But most people do not want to see this. Because it is a disruptive
fact. Our beliefs, our superiority, our science. Many things
are shaken by the implications of those sightings.

So, we ignore it.

Or maybe is the fact that we are just starting to get out of
our planet. The possibility of accepting those facts grows
as we travel to other planets.

SETI search looks light years away. It is safer than trying
to start a conversation with them.

Because if humans would care about it, they could at
any time prepare a message, setup a world wide watch
(there aren't many places completely devoid of humans
left in earth) and the next UFO could receive a message
in form of light pulses for instance. We could encode
a digital message and send it to the UFO in question.

There are some places where more UFOs are seen as in others.
They seem to come in "waves", but in general the
importance of the phnomenon is decreasing, maybe because
we are so boring :-)

Never attempted to say to them anything!

"UFO"s are not a single kind, and who knows from where the
different machines come. Some of them have the capacity
of "turning off" a human being. A shepherd that surprised
an UFO early in the morning, here in France, was paralyzed
for 15 minutes.

He survived unscathed. He just couldn't move, that's all.

I wondered how the UFOs could have done that, until
I came to an "explanation":

We have a big switch inside us. Each night, the switch is
turned off, and the consciousness is disconnected from the
body. In our dreams we move the arms, we walk and
run, without anything moving at all. Our vegetative nervous
system (breathing digesting, etc) goes on, but the consiousness
can't move any muscle.

Those beings know exactly where this switch is, and they can
turn it on/off as they please. We are in the same situation that
the animals we investigate giving them a sedative first.

They just do not need sedatives. They know exactly our
anatomy and how it can be manipulated.

They interest themselves for our planes, and they have followed
many.

They give us an example however.

They didn't invade us, nor do they interfere with our
development.

I think we should apply the same
policy when we visit Mars, or any other celestial
body. Let's do to the aliens out there as the
aliens here do to us.

Just look. Do not intefere, do not invade.

Most stars seem to have bodies orbiting them in effect other "solar
systems'. Since there are hunderds of billions of stars in this galaxy
alone with trillions of planets in orbit it is just about impossible for
life not to have developed on at least some of them. Life also may have
developed mucher earlier and be much more developed in some systems. then
think of the hundereds of billions of galaxies and all their stars and
planets. The stuff of life is everywhere in the universe. Exploration of the
galaxie should be our prime objective! Not the last thing on the menu. But
mankind is not too bright yet.

In addition to my last message, life can spark out just as fast it sparks
on. We could just as easily go extinct before we do any significant space
work by disease, war or catstrophy. This too, is the possible fate of any
life that has or ever will evolve. Civilizations must overcome it's fears
and superstitions and give up it's greed or it will tear itself apart.

In our own solar system, I think that there is a 2/3 chance of non-Earth
life. Finding it will be difficult. If there is life on Europa, we may
have to land 100 tons of equipment there to find it. I'll guess the year
2075. Europa isn't the only possibility. Io, Titan, and Mars are options.

There is almost certainly life elsewhere in our galaxy. Searching other
star systems for life could be done with existing technology, but it would
take centuries. We can wait before attempting that task.

human type life will be found on another planet within 100 years and
will be far superior to us, they will also provide us with a cure for
every disease. this is if we are told of the discovery of course.
