Of course it's a fake picture; it's the Triforce from Zelda with flames on the bottom.

I don't believe that aliens have visited us. However, I find it impossible to believe that we're a galactic fluke and we're the only *cough*intelligent*cough* life in the universe.

The whole concept of aliens having these highly-advanced civilizations and whatnot is sci-fi/fantasy romanticism and doesn't make a lot of sense to me - ever notice how in such situations, everybody on the whole alien planet either lives in a grand utopian society or they're marauding monsters bent on universal conquest. You're never going to get everyone on a whole planet to agree like that.

Well, I'm not thinking sci-fi generic aliens, but, think of time periods... star systems develop at different rates, consider how different human technology is from the humanity of say, 10,000 years ago, and now consider a civilization that is 10,000 years (and in astronomical time scales, that's still quite small) ahead of us... if they haven't wiped themselves out, of course.

That's how I knew it was fake.

I do what experimental aircraft are made for. Like I said before, UFOs could have masers for warfare purposes, but does any one else know an extremely powerful weapon that could be potentially be used for warfare (besides atomic bombs, lasers, and masers)?

Yes, I do: killsats which drop missiles from outer space, using the acceleration from such to turn them into lethal weapons.

[trope=StarfishAliens]Something like this[/trope]. It is not even about they getting to earth, but of they fitting in the concept of "location" or "space", or if we could notice them in any way. We would be talking about a biology completelly out of what we understand as such.

So while I have a very open mind, what I know says it is pretty absurd to think there is aircraft made with a coincidentially very similar to ours technology from a diferent species, let alone planet. The absolute only way of this would be some cliché alien conspirancy watching humanity for millenia plot. And while I am not going to deny that, it is rather... unlikely..

I'm siding with Reimu here. While life might exist out there, it's enitrely possible that it looks like some fungus/mold or even something we can't even imagine. It's unlikely that it would look even remotely humanoid.

Not like there's any point in discussing it. There might be, there might be not -- but for us, it should be currently irrelevant.
