Conclusion: Alien existence is still in doubt. Scientists, physicists, and astronomers still
continue to examine evidences.
There could be another life entities on the outer space. Because there are some photographed
UFO sightings. There could be hundreds planets that have life if one of every galaxies has its
own liveable planets, and if it's true, that's cool!
Most sci-fi movies use aliens as antagonistic characters or even protagonist. Somehow many
people like it, including me. For example, Master Yoda from Star Wars. Many people like him,
even though he is an ugly alien. Aliens in movies usually have extraordinary strength compared
to humans. Sometimes have more advanced thoughts and friendliness. But how can the
producers think of the form of the alien? Certainly from the development of alien forms from
previous movies. Why do aliens which are commonly known as strange with oval heads? Like
in Indiana Jones movie. It seems like someone has seen it directly, and it has been described
from generation to generation.
There are many UFO sightings recorded by peole. As reported in www.nuforc.org, there are
52 reported sightings in May 2019. Including, large V/triangle-shaped craft that moved silently,
disappeared at incredible rate of speed at Cincinnati, Ohio. In May 8th, there is extremely loud
bang and light spotted in sky at Norfolk, Virginia. From nymag.com reported that navy pilots
were seeing UFOs on an almost daily basis in 2014 and 2015. In late 2014, a pilot of a Super
Hornet reported a near-collision with a UFO when an object that looked like a “sphere encasing
a cube” zipped between two fighter jets flying roughly 100 feet from each other. Another pilot
could identify a flying object’s presence on his radar, missile system, and infrared camera but
was not able to actually see it in his helmet camera.
There are several areas where theories about aliens is well-known. Area 51, now part of the so-
called "Groom box", a rectangular area measuring 23 by 25 miles (37 by 40 km), of restricted
airspace. The area is connected to the internal Nevada Test Site (NTS) road network, with
paved roads leading south to Mercury and west to Yucca Flat. Its secretive nature and
undoubted connection to classified aircraft research, together with reports of unusual
phenomena, have led Area 51 to become a focus of modern UFO and other conspiracy theories.
Some of the activities mentioned in such theories at Area 51 include, The storage, examination,
and reverse engineering of crashed alien spacecraft (including material supposedly recovered
at Roswell), the study of their occupants (living and dead), and the manufacture of aircraft
based on alien technology; Meetings or joint undertakings with extraterrestrials; The
development of exotic energy weapons for the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or other
weapons programs; The development of means of weather control; The development of time
travel and teleportation technology; The development of unusual and exotic propulsion systems
related to the Aurora Program; Activities related to a supposed shadowy one world government
or the Majestic 12 organization.
There also an incident of a United States Army Air Forces balloon crashed at a ranch near
Roswell, New Mexico. Roswell has been described as "the world's most famous, most
exhaustively investigated, and most thoroughly debunked UFO claim". Although there is no
evidence that a UFO crashed at Roswell, believers firmly hold to the belief that one did, and
that the truth has been concealed as a result of a government conspiracy. In an attempt to
produce fresh evidence, some researchers used new technology to try to re-analyze photographs
of the telegram held by General Ramey during his 1947 press conference. Goldberg writes that
the results proved inconclusive: while some claimed they could discern wording like "victims
of the wreck", others claimed they saw "turn out to be weather balloons". Overall, there was
no consensus that anything was legible.
Imagine, if other galaxies has its own liveable planet, there could be hundreds billion planets
that have life. According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred
billion galaxies in the observable universe. Of course this universe is very broad and will
expand over time. There is probability estimates of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations
elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy, called Fermi Paradox. The basic points of the argument
were more fully developed in a 1975 paper by Michael H. Hart and include, There are billions
of stars in the galaxy that are similar to the Sun, and many of these stars are billions of years
older than the Solar system; With high probability, some of these stars have Earth-like planets,
and if the Earth is typical, some may have already developed intelligent life; Some of these
civilizations may have developed interstellar travel, a step the Earth is investigating now; and
even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could
be completely traversed in a few million years. If there is only us on Earth, alone, then clearly
the vastness of the universe is solely power of God.
But if it’s true, alien existences, that's going to be cool. Imagine about Star Wars, Star Trek,
Superman, and others. Then we have to build protection on earth before they are here. Sounds
like fantasy, but we will not live with them. Because surely we have different culture, emotional
quotient, and rules. Also, is not it’s scary if we are truly alone in this massive universe?
After all, alien existence is still in doubt. Scientists, physicists, and astronomers still continue
the examine evidences.
