Very cool video. It is possible we are alone but with the amount of starts out there it is unlikely. Unfortunatly, we are probably the more advanced of whats out there though.

Hahaha. I don't think so -- humans wouldn't be that hard to beat

I don't think that we are alone either. The universe is too big and there are too many possibilities and opportunities for life. I'd hate to think that this is all there is!

Why do you say that? There are many stars that are much older than our sun. And I am sure many planets that are much older than ours. So I would bet that we are somewhere in the middle of the bell curve on advancement.

Unless you think that all life evolves like earth did and then when they get so advanced, they end up destroying themselves.

I came up with anywhere from 4 to 50 planets that might grow intelligent life that would actually reach out to communicate.

I DO believe there is other intelligent life out there. Maybe more intelligent than us. Maybe not. But if there's only between 4 - 50 other planets in the entire universe that we might ever have a chance of reaching or communicating with - we'll never see aliens.

I believe. I just don't know if we'll ever see/meet the little green men for ourselves.

A pretty smart guy that I know wrote a book about government cover-ups of aliens visiting Earth. I've only begun to read it. It's full of fascinating eye witness accounts of alien visitors/ships to our planet.
