It's very disappointing, but all evidence indicates that we (a technological species) are alone, in this area, at this time. It even seems possible that we might be the first technological species in our Local Group.[0]
If someone could prove me wrong, I would be so excited!
Please prove me wrong!

- consumer451 3y agoI wish I could buy into something like this. But I believe that alien theory, alien simulation theory, etc.. are all our modern form of deism. Humans have a great need to find order from a higher power. I will believe in god(s), aliens, or any other higher power when I am shown irrefutable proof. Until then, we are on our own folks!
- gfodor 3y agoI mean I thought this too but this is the one area, particularly under recent events, that I think it’s reasonable to start trying to come up with good non-prosaic explanations. You’ll probably find an increasingly surprising number of people talking and thinking about this in a serious way, because events seem to be pointing to something that isn’t just smoke and mirrors the entire way down. It’s smoke and mirrors to be sure in many ways. But it’s sufficiently uniquely weird that it is looking increasingly likely there is a significant non-prosaic thing going on here.
- hackerlight 3y ago> But it’s sufficiently uniquely weird Why do you believe this? What events and information led you to this conclusion?

- bongodongobob 3y agoNo they're on the surface they're just invisible. Also they drive invisible cars. Oh and they are made out of a different kind of matter that just passes through normal matter. If you don't believe me it means I'm right!
- lancesells 3y ago> Also they drive invisible cars Maybe you mean flying cars, because if there's one thing I've learned about alien life it's that they only exist in the sky.
- beeboobaa 3y agoThat's a pretty fun theory, you should write scifi
- netsharc 3y agoHah, this is the second time in the last half a year where I've heard the "underground civilization" theory. The previous person mentioning it to me was totally serious too...
- NegativeK 3y agoYou're being downvoted because you're making bold claims without the proportionally bold and rigorous evidence. Downvotes are a bit crude, but people can't be expected to make detailed responses to statements that aren't rigorous.
- gfodor 3y agoPeople make claims here all the time without evidence and don't get downvoted. How absurd.

- zabzonk 3y agowhy do you think these "theories" (or what some may call deranged speculation) upset people?
- gfodor 3y agobeats me. some people have emotional reactions to hypotheses around the UAP phenomenon. it's not that surprising given the implications of if it is due to non-human intelligence, but it's annoying that speculative theorizing about this is treated the way it is compared to other mysteries.
