The image shown two posts below (M0ds one) is a photo taken by the space probe "spirit"... It is a UFO, as long as it flies and hasn't been identified.
It can be a meteor, or one old space probe which is no longer operative, by the orbital path it has, it just can be the "Viking 2"
But naive people start to think that it's an Alien probe... I personally think it's not, but, hey! This is a gen gen forum, express your oppinion about aliens, extraterrial intelligence, visits from outer people and abductions!
For those not familiar with Spanish acronyms, OVNI = UFO, btw
Obviously, it is the first sign of intelliegent life in our galaxy (and I'm including earth, here)
Your image doesn't work but I presume it's this one;

Interesting stuff :)
Hmm, somebody had a great release in the sky. Hope it doesn't hit anyone in the eye.
That's crazy stuff. I do beleive that we aren't the only intelligent beings in the universe, but I agree with Farlander, it's probably just another space probe of ours.
What ever happened with that "face" on Mars? did anyone ever find it, or figure out what it was? Has anyone ever seen it again since that satellite picked it up a few decades ago?
If we ever do make first contact, the first thing I'm doing is making the aliens take this probe outta my butt... it's giving me hemmoroids like mad. :P
The "face" is nothing special. It's just a perfectly normal hill that happened to look a lot like a face on the first picture taken of the region because the shadows happened to fall that way at the time.
Here (http://badastronomy.com/bad/misc/hoagland/face.html)'s something about the face. It's aimed at a particular idiot's claims of it being artificial, but it'll do.

DAMN YOU FUZZPILZ! get outta my head!
...I see a scratch on the lens...
Whatever happened to those 3 piramids on Mars. They featured in Zack MacKracken.
Afterall, the face on the moon isn't a real face.. :P
I'd like to believe alien's exist, and what with time and space and eric feurstine (sp), you can gurantee aliens probably do exist.
I don't believe in aliens in the sense of green men with oblong eyes and slit nostrils. Heck - I don't even believe in prokaryotes or eukaryotes (spelling? grade 12 biology didn't QUITE pay off...) outside of earth.
Though I DO believe there are some things which can't be explained fully, that people HAVE tried to explain using completely crap logic that doesn't make sense.
That photo, however, makes me laugh.
People will do anything to label an object a U.F.O
Although, I guess in the true sense of the word it IS...
Apparently, Voyager 2 found that one of the rings of Saturn has the same spectral analysis as one of the onion rings of CJ. Is this a clue as to the great one's origins, and his benevolent attitude towards enriching of earthling lives?
Just a syntaxis explanation... As this "image" appears to be an object, flies, and hasn't been identified, it is an U.F.O.
UFO is not equal to "spaceship piloted by extraterrestial intelligence".
Probably the other shit they sent up to Mars the last few times.
On another note, I watched that movie 'Communion' today, and the Aliens in that movie, the ones with the big eyes that are now Iconic, were only masks covering what they really looked like.
So this obsession with that alien look was just some stupid misunderstanding of someone, quite funny really.
Also what's the human obsession about aliens with the anal probe?
And why do Aliens only hang out in the USA?
ACK.

Ack ACK.
actually timosity, there were a large amount of UFO sightings in Belgium [i think] which caused a huge uproar and the government met with UFOologists [or whatever they are] and tried to figure out what to do about it.
the same thing happened in another country [and damn me for forgetting] and the leader tried to get the UN involved to have them discuss a plan of action in the case of any contact or other sightings [it never went through]
Communion was interesting and it had 1 scary part I remember when the alien was looking at him from behind a door or something, but then he took the mask of and in my mind I remember them looking like elephants or something...
anyway
QuoteThe surest sign that there is intelligent life in the universe is, they haven't tried to contact us yet.
I don't know who said it, but it's funny...
At any rate I run seti on my computer (for those that don't know, you download snippets of information from different radio sattelites, and your computer processes them then sends the results back).
I'm not like a X-Files it's all a conspiracy thing.... But I believe they more than likely do exist, if they have been here, maybe, maybe not.
Do I really care? Not until they try to anal probe me.

That would be Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes, written by Bill Watterson.
BAM! heh...
Anal probe? mmmm...
errmm...
next topic.
What I wanted to say, besides that cuz this is a still young topic, so someone could read my post, IS that I dont understand those hardheaded ppl who really think we are the only one in the universe.
It's like saying: My shi*t doesnt stink because I'm pretty.
OK, maybe not exactly, but there is a point in there somewhere.
Anyho' my possible theory would be that billions of years ago mars was an active planet with citizens or whatever, and then, when they saw that they couldn't use Mars no more, they made a gene transplant or whatever to Earth. So, that would explain the dust, the iced water and the coolnes and those cheap brothels on Mars, right?
Right.
I'm gonna sleep now.

I was being rather general, There have been sightings all over the world, you just tend to hear about it more from the US, and that's more likely because we get a lot of US TV.
But I also think that a lot of TV makes people think that there are Aliens landing on earth. (it's possible, but not likely [with all the equipment we have, I'm sure we'd have a better idea]{but hey, they could just be invisible to us, and us to them <we are both co-existing without any idea>})
I guess there are a lot of conspiracy theories (eg. the US Govt. covering up secret missions and failed experiments by blaming it on something that can't be proven etc)
If you report something and it makes the news, other people will do copycat reports (they may have seen the same thing eg. a large meteorite hitting the atmosphere) but copycat situations are very common. EG. coughing in a room full of people, other people with cough.
but my post wasn't too serious, just like this one
i wasn't really trying to call you on anything, you just gave a reason to share some news that i learned
but we all know UFO's are put there by God to test our faith and put there by Satan to also... test our faith
[i wonder if jesus' ascension into heaven could be seen from space]
It's funny to read this stuff while watching Independence Day on FX.
I do believe in UFO's. And when i do see one for real, i'll probably drop dead of a heart attack.
I believe in U.F.O's in the literal sense of the word. I believe there are super-ultra-freaky things out there that whizz around that don't have an explanation.
However I don't believe that they have brains and twelve fingers and T3 internet connections. I think it's just weird lumps of rock and ice.
The day I see a U.F.O I will repent. Until then, no.
P.S - Independance Day is on FX? I thought they were supposed to show good movies...?
