Nearly half of humans believe in alien life and want to make contact, a survey in 24 countries has found, in what researchers said helps to explain the lasting popularity of the "Star Wars" franchise 40 years after the first movie was screened.

On the eve of the release of "The Last Jedi", researchers published findings that 47 percent of more than 26,000 respondents believe "in the existence of intelligent alien civilizations in the universe".

I tend to believe in alien life. There are too many ancient constructions that required high technology to construct, and the location of these constructs are on positions that intersect magnetic energy lines around the globe, in perfect alignment not possible unless the builders were thinking globally.

Ancient constructions show evidence of machine tools, abrasions done by high-power machine sawblades and tools. Our largest cranes would have trouble moving heavy stones in place today. Truth is, scientists today are still guessing on what happened in the past and they simply don't know for sure what transpired. I believe aliens were here to help the human race, or that our ancestors were the alien race and some cataclysm happened. Flood perhaps? Maybe the aliens will come back, maybe they won't. But there is evidence that bolsters the theory that they were here.

If you have to ask, you’re one of them. ;)

If you have to ask, you’re one of them. ;)

I don't get it.

[BipolarBob]

So, you’re one of THEM.

[PilotDave]

I wonder what percentage of aliens believe in humans?

[UCANSEE2]

I will never believe that present existing races all evolved from the same ancestor without some kind of DNA help.

Here is something to help confuse that issue.

Why is it that Japanese fish look Japanese ?

[golux]

So, you’re one of THEM.

Now I'm really confused.

PS if this subject interests you I do recommend researching, and thinking about, the Frank Drake equation. (Lord knows my half doesn't understand it.)

we know there’s alien life (just look at Obama or whatever his real Arabic name is)

the question is, is there benign friendly non_BORG and non-Islamic alien life?

[jimbug]

I believe in aliens. I have even seen them vote:early and often. They’re called Democrats.

My wife think that my brother and I are aliens.
I re-grew the part of my heart damaged during a heart attack and my brother was in a car wreck and they had to remove his crushed kidney. The kidney grew back. It took about 5 years but it grew back, about the same length of time it took my heart to replace 3 sq. inches of beating cardiac tissue.

Half the Rats believe in aliens and the half think they’re aliens.

As the television and radio signals from the television propaganda networks spread out into space...any alien race that encountered them would have conclude there is no intelligent life here on Earth!
