Anybody ever seen a bugger, like I did one fateful night in 2001?

I'd love to hear about it

i see odd lights in the sky sometimes. too far away to say if it's just a plane or not though.

There was one over town last fall/winter. I didn't personally notice it but it was on the news.



and

I've personally seen more evidence of ghosts than ET. However, I am certain there is other life out there. The universe is so vast that it actually seems impossible for there NOT to be. However, the chances decrease when you factor in intelligent life, which, out of the BILLIONS of species on this planet alone, only one ever managed our level of intelligence. Then, to be able to cross the vast reaches of space, would take years and a heck of a lot of time, effort and (if the have it on their world) money. There should, at the very least, be a massive spaceship out there that can support these visitors. It has yet to be reported. And don't start about government coverups, that kind of thing gets boring real quick.
I don't doubt what you saw, or what you think you saw, and I won't ever say you're wrong. It just seems highly unlikely. Of course it is also highly unlikely that I could roll a d20 a hundred times and get 100 critical hits. It can happen.

Question is; would we even recognised an alien intelligence if we ever saw one?

I think we are in for one big surprise when it finally happens; it is going to be like NOTHING we ever imagined it to be.

Exactly. Earth itself already has many highly intelligent species, we're just only starting to recognize them as such.

2001: A Space Odyssey?

The thing about UFOs in that they're Unidentified Flying Objects. We don't know what they are. it bothers that if you see one people automatically assign you as a beleiver of Aliens (which could very well be the case) if you claim to have witnessed somthing like that. The fact of the matter is no one knows, so when somone tells you they've seen a UFO, just chalk it up to the fact they've seen somthing THEY cannot explain.

Yes I've seen UFOs, one of the most fantastic Ive ever seen was a bright light that traversed the sky from horizon to horizon in under A FEW SECONDs, all while making a few random sharp angle (one of them being close to 90 degrees) turns without even slowing the slightest.

Ugly Fat Oafs, why yes I see them every day.

UFOs? Ghosts? Sightings? Cthulhu uprising videos? Levitating monks?
Well, for most of us catching those things on camera might be a lil' bit more probable than catching a lass's ass, amirite? LOL!
