I think in most cases any light associated with a UFO is supposed to be related to the drive field of the space craft, not decoration.

in space travel, the last thing to think about would be decoration

I don't think an alien would randomly decide to land in Times Square.

well they might want to land were they see a lot of creatures

Passive Sensory Systems will be woefully slow & inadequate

 

Passive visual sensors, which "wait for lagging light" to slowly percolate across the cosmos, and "deign to finally inform" Mankind, of "cosmic politics", will be woefully inadequate, for figuring out, what actually is occurring, across the cosmos. In theory, the Hyper-Civilizations, of alien Hyper-Species, could be billions of years old, at present, and yet the light from their fledgling "Apollo Programs" wouldn't be seen in the skies of Earth, for billions & billions of years to come. Most of the "meat of the onion of [expanding, closed] spacetime" is above & beyond the Backwards Light-Conoid of Earth.

 

i dout our race will last 1 billion years.unless wereach the type 3 stage civilization faster. i thing in 1 billion years the human race would have evolved very much tothe point were not human anymore.

Sophisticated technology requires some kind of digital dexterity, such as our opposible thumb.

and intelligence

how would the US government respond to an alien landing?

P.S. im going to see that movie skyline, who is with me

Demonstrate with specific examples that this is so.

 

Explain how the US military was surprised in December 1941 by the Japanese when they had been aware for almost a decade of the possibility of hostile action by the Japanese. Why did they not assume the worst case scenario and place Honolulu on a war footing?

 

Why, during the Cuban missile crisis did the Kennedy administration not assume that some of the installations were ready for action and thus carry out a pre-emptive strike on Cuba?

 

In short justify your statement that is contradicted by dozens (and probably thousands) of incidents/scenarios, large and small throughout US history.

hmm u make a pint but i think it was much more recent like twards the end of the cold war crisis

Ideas???

the universal speed limit is the speed of light but there might be ways around that

well we dont know anything about a black hole except it large amount of gravity.

for all we know it does destroy everything from existance or it could be a passage to another part of the universe since there have been reports of white hole or it could lead to another dimension or even another universe

the government would assume worst case scenario, they always do

well depending on the actions we take and the way those aliens would respond might cause a large conflict

in read a lot of books and this was one of the subjects.

what do you think they would do if an alien ship landed in time square.

just one life form telling the others wat to do is governing them

if an alien space ship landed in the middle of time squar, the government would quarantine the area and everyone whom saw it even if it were 1000+ people. they would take the alien and study everything about its anatomy. they would check the ship for any hazard material using level 4 bio suits then take that in for study to learn how it got here. the alien would be alive for study about it in particular then kill it to study inside. this might trigger a conflict but thats how the government would handle it. they wouldnt even consider starting a conflict. all the people that were quarantined would be paid to keep shut and kept under heavy watch b the government for awile.

Giant cockroaches, and giant insects as you know them, are not physically possible.

 

how dou know,maybe the aliens are insectoid type organism

On a related note. I think we're spending too much time concentrating on Mars. I think we should drop a couple of baloons on the cloud tops of Venus. I said earlier that the Venusian surface is too hot, but the cloud tops (about 50km up) are actually the most Earth-like environment in the solar system, with a temperature and pressure about the same as the earth.

 

There is microbial life in the clouds of earth. It is conceivable that life might have appeared on Venus before it got too hot, and that it might have survived in the clouds. I'm sure that's worth a single mission with a few baloons.

i do believe there was once life on mars since it had an earth-like magnetic field and similar atmospere.

In a sense you have a point. Civilization evolves around complex communication, something beyond body language like the wolves.

true, as i stated above civilization needs some form of government, communication, and adaptabilty to its eviroment.

While we're talking about alternative chemicals for life, how about aromatic compounds? Can we make complex aromatic compounds without carbon?

were getting off topic people. this thread is about first contact with aliens

As far as we know life WHICH EVOLVED ON EARTH cannot survive without water. Even in environments such as sulfur, there are still traces of water to support life. <=fixed

 

We're talking about aliens here.

hmm u make a good point but there are such a large amount of species on this planet that evolved from different chemical reactions based on water that i think that race would have been the same. if that were true that not all life needs water there could be life on venus wich i dout

as far as we know life cannot survive without water. even in enviroments such as sulfur, there are still traces of water to support life

i dout the earth would be worthless since water is such an important liquid for life, they might even be looking for a place to settle there population.

the question is if can support human life. or even an atmosphere. do u know how we came across the planet?

well we have tech thats cloaks us you no stealth fighters and now were even producing stealth ships. im sure the aliens might have the same devices.

theres such a lot of theories of what was there before. some say its a never ending death and rebirth of universes one after each other. some say there are countless numbers of unverses with different laws of physics then ours

an emp only effects mechanical items like cars and electricity. it has no effect on humans that i no of. maybe we could use this against the aliens if there hostile

That gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth is [math]g=0.980665\,\text{m}/{\text{s}^2[/math], is not a universal law of physics. Heck, it isn't even universally true on the Earth. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.779 m/s² in Mexico City but 9.819 m/s² in Oslo.

the 4 universal elements keeps our universe together
