Do you think aliens are real?

The reason I ask, is lately NASA has reported possible signals from space, that they believe to be from not this world, and a planet that has the potential to be the perfect environment to support life, and want to create a mission to send a robot to explore it, but the journey would take 1,000 years to get there.

[abc3643]

Of course, they're real!
They're crossing the border every day!

See?

Just like the classic road sign that used to be on I-5 between Los Angeles and the Mexican border.

Even in the future (2031), it's still a problem.

RESPONSE TO UPDATE:

Do you have a link to this NASA "report"?

[Msputiton]

Nope you can google it if you would like

[abc3643]

Not NASA.

Abstract
The goal of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is to quantify the prevalence of technological life beyond Earth via their ‘technosignatures’. One theorized technosignature is narrowband Doppler drifting radio signals. The principal challenge in conducting SETI in the radio domain is developing a generalized technique to reject human radiofrequency interference. Here we present a comprehensive deep-learning-based technosignature search on 820 stellar targets from the Hipparcos catalogue, totalling over 480 h of on-sky data taken with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope as part of the Breakthrough Listen initiative. We implement a novel β-convolutional variational autoencoder to identify technosignature candidates in a semi-unsupervised manner while keeping the false-positive rate manageably low, reducing the number of candidate signals by approximately two orders of magnitude compared with previous analyses on the same dataset. Our work also returned eight promising extraterrestrial intelligence signals of interest not previously identified. Re-observations on these targets have so far not resulted in re-detections of signals with similar morphology. This machine-learning approach presents itself as a leading solution in accelerating SETI and other transient research into the age of data-driven astronomy.

=============

OR are you thinking of something else from NASA?

[DancingQueen16]

Do I believe in aliens yes and no no because science says there's no solid evidence that aliens exist and because no other planets in the solar system can support life and yes because maybe if there are aliens out there the conditions aliens need to survive are different than humans

[sage2021]

I think they are already here in America 🇺🇸 as well as other places around the world. They could already be among us looking exactly like humans. We would even be able to tell alien's from actual real human beings in a crowd. They are anong us.

[sage2021]

**wouldn't** not would

[exitseven]

I bet a lot of them live in California. It would explain a lot.

[FlyingJ]

@exitseven
C'mon, man! Cornpop was a bad dude.

[Sonorous]

Can't say. But I don't think we'll ever meet aliens face to face. But who knows, maybe if humans are still alive when the Andromeda galaxy collides with ours, we'll get to be attacked by some aliens.

[Sonorous]

Get to meet some aliens*

[exitseven]

Yes, Biden has let over 6 million in so far.

[FlyingJ]

Stop lying! Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says the border is as secure as Biden's garage!

[Msputiton]

I do wish you would chill on this political and biden obsession a little, mostly for your mental health

[exitseven]

@msputiton. I feel like I just landed on Mars sometimes.

[normalice]

I acknowledge the possibility. I don't know how to compute "likelihood per planet" and then count the number of habitable planets, though. So I don't have any idea how possible. I can say that, if there is life on other planets, it's less likely to be multicellular organisms.

[Anpu23]

Do I believe that there is life on other planets, yes absolutely.

Do I believe that that life is intelligent, probably

Do I believe that this life has visited earth, I'm highly skeptical.

[Msputiton]

I think we never encountered each other because they are so far from us, they would take like 100 to a 1,000 years to get there

[Ben487]

absolutely. It seems impossible that there wouldn't be aliens if you look into how big this freaking universe is. Surely there are other planets just like earth out there, probably many trillions. The weird thing about it is why aren't they here? they must be avoiding earth for some reason.

[Ben487]

it's possible they just don't give a shit about us the same way most humans probably don't care much to interact with squirrels in their backyard.

[worldscolide]

It's impossible for them to not be real. With the literally billions of planets in our own galaxy, life as to have evolved in more than one place. Weather or not they are visiting us though is debatable, mostly because we are still a violent primative species.

[Sixgunsound]

I find it hard to believe that the conditions for life to exist can only be found on one planet in the entire universe.

[Msputiton]

Agree

[DizzyDesii]

I think some sort of species or non human beings exist on other planets

[Msputiton]

Agree

[molonski2]

I always found it at super arrogant summary when I heard science say " no human like intelligent , life forms existed " , I'm with Elon on this one , I reckon its a certainty.

[serious]

Aliens? means extra terrestrial life form.

Yes I am sure there is extra terrestrial life other than Earth on this limitless universe.

[Paulychicagoluv]

Yes. From the latest news I've heard that nasal has heard radio signals from light years away

[Msputiton]

Yup they think there is a planet that is almost identical to earth, but it would take over 1000 years to get there with our technology.
They are planning a mission there, by sending a robot to explore

[Paulychicagoluv]

So billions of dollars spent of tax payers money instead of putting it back into our country

[Msputiton]

Yup.

[Paulychicagoluv]

Wonderful spending idea for our country.

[MeIsTomboy]

I do believe aliens are real, even though we might never meet them face to face.

[leahzrc]

Spirits told me it is a man-made hoax. I don't know what to believe

[slatyb]

Likely but there's no evidence any they have been here.

[SmokinAces2000]

Of course, there are literally billions of galaxies and more than a trillion planets so it just doesn’t make sense for life to have evolved on only one planet

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Extraterrestrials have to exist, the odds of them not would be enormous. However, I don't think they've ever visited out planet.

[loveslongnails]

I am an alien, so I don't just think so, I know so.

[humanearth]

From Mexico and Canada yes from outer space no

[humanearth]

NASA sure likes to waste money

[Msputiton]

Very true

[humanearth]

Hey for shits and giggles I looked more into this topic.

Here is something very cool about a secret space program on YouTube.

Check it out the YouTube video or check out The Why Files

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sfRcl5rmydI

[TallAnon]

Sure, it seems less reasonable to assume we are the only living beings in an infinite universe.

[Anonymous]

The fact that they do not visit our planet is the biggest proof of their existence.

[Christoff92]

Yes they are 👽

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I think they might be real.

[Pinay_ako]

Yes ET is real

[Astarlessnightsky]

Yep, there is life on other planets.

[Nikki1989]

I really hope so, but I doubt it.

[JosyJosy]

I actually don't know. Seeing is believing.

[Sparkie460]

Yes they are in area 51. Lol

[LiamJHayden]

I see no reason to preclude the idea.

[Iron_Man]

Possibly what do you think?

[PointTaken]

Yep. Just haven't found one yet. Lol

[Shamalien]

Of course, because we are real

[Reddy4it]

Yes…too much to say otherwise…

[Likes2drive]

If you mean Space aliens then probably yeah

[Luckycharms12]

There are other life forms for sure

[Fuentes]

Yeah lol

[Msputiton]

Same

[TrueConfection]

Nope

[Boomchakalaca]

Yes we r aliens

[Apulu_Imback]

Of course!

[Pink2000]

I do not.

[Jennz6]

I’m not really sure

[Charliefretz329]

Of course, I am one

[Batsy01010101]

yeah
