Very sceptical - but you never know... could be true.
if it is true - WOW!!! :D:D
if not - well... was an interesting read anyway. :)
it's not that i am not a believer in other world life - because i do believe there has to be something else out there other than us, but let's face it the pictures are less than conclusive and as for the "video" it's just a simple flash animation isn't it.
There is life outside earth, and UFO's do exist.
The U.S. Government (Military) have already had their hands on ufo material for ages, but deny it.
In fact, they've developed their own 'flying saucers', not too different from those witnessed previously.
I am from a different planet myself, but don't worry about it. I've come in peace.
Maybe you should shut your mouth then and give us all a little bit of peace and quiet ;)
lmao @ Breeny, thats funny!
theres gotta b life other than us, just look at the size of the universe! it never ends, or does it???
If u think long and deep, it makes o wonder bout the possibilities, of what could b out there!
Im a bit ooh/aah bout time travel, it just seems impossible!
but other life forms defo, thers gota b!
There is other life out there.
People say the universe is never ending, but arent they the same people who said hundreds of years ago that if you went to the horizon you would fall off the end of the earth.
Once we develop or admit to developing some type of craft that is capable of these journies, then we will be able to determine if there is truly ufo's amongst us.
my favorite argument is this...Quote:

a good point when you think about it.
Are you sitting comfortably - then I'll begin :lol:
Sorry this is so long - but if you take the time to read it, it's pretty good.
Hope you found that interesting, and bothered to read it all in one go :DQuote:

supernova innit
A rare celestial phenomenon involving the explosion of most of the material in a star, resulting in an extremely bright, short-lived object that emits vast amounts of energy.
:D
Actually - and i really don't want to seem big headed - but you will find hypernovae are much more impressive :D
Just happened to find this just before i read this post again :lol:Quote:
What is a Hypernova?
A hypernova is the most destructive force in this universe. The power is almost incomprehensible and they seem to produce so much energy they defy the laws of physics. When one sets off it is the brighter than everything else you can see in the sky.
One hypernova releases millions of times more light than the all of the billions of stars in our galaxy put together.
What causes hypernovae?
Hypernovae are, like supernovae, formed from dying stars. In a supernovae, a star grows rapidly, into a huge star called a red giant, but runs out of fuel. This means it suddenly collapses into a dense core, but then explodes outwards releasing a tremendous amount of energy. This blasts of the outer parts, leaving a neutron star. This doe not happen with most stars; only very heavy stars have sufficient energy for this.
A supernova awesomely powerful, but nothing compared to a hypernova. Hypernova are only formed by incredibly heavy and fast burning stars. A normal star may live for 10 billion years, but one that will become a hypernova will collapse in just 1 million. To burn this quickly they need a huge amount of fuel. The stars find this in what are called 'stellar nurseries', huge clouds of gas that combine to form stars. If a star can get enough gas it will have enough fuel to go through it's whole life cycle in a tiny fraction of other stars. To do this these stars need to be around 20x the mass of our sun.
Unlike in a supernova the outer layers of the star are not blown off in an explosion. Instead, the star has so much gravity, because of its mass, that it continues to contract very rapidly. This converts all the gravitational potential energy of the star into heat and light. All the energy in the largest type of star is quickly converted into a form of radiation called 'gamma rays', and then unleashed on the rest of the universe. The effect of these is therefore called a 'gamma ray burst' (GRB). What is left behind is an incredibly dense lump of matter, called a black hole.
What would happen if a hypernovae occurred near Earth?
Here, 'near' is a relative term. 300 light years (almost 10,000 billion kilometres) is close enough for it to appear 1,000,000 times brighter than the sun. The destruction would be total: it would be like 1 million 1-megaton hydrogen bombs going off all over the world at once. That is very approximately 100 times the entire world's nuclear arsenal.
The first thing that would happen would be that the enormous heat would convert the nitrogen in the upper atmosphere to nitrous oxides. This would destroy the ozone layer that protects us from ultra violet light. Then the rest of the atmosphere would become superheated. It would be like Hiroshima all over the world. This would also trigger other forms of destruction: the high temperatures would cause cyclones, tsunamis and hurricanes all over the Earth.
An electro-magnetic pulse would also hit. If enough energy is released without there being matter to absorb it, it is converted to electro-magnetic energy. The size of the pulse from a hypernova would instantly destroy every electronic circuit on one half of the Earth.
The effect on the earth would be identical to a microwave. Invisible and silent rays would roast the atmosphere. If you were deep underground you could survive all this. But then what? All the plants and livestock would have burnt to death and going outside would be impossible because with no ozone layer, our own sun would continually bombard us with harmful rays. Most importantly of all, all the algae would die. Algae are tiny organism that produce most of the Earth's oxygen and are at the bottom of the food chain. With these dead, what life remained on Earth would slowly starve or choke to death. Earth would become a scorched, dead, uninhabitable planet.
There is absolutely no defence to any of this. We wouldn't even see it coming, as the gamma rays travel at the speed of light so the first time we detected them would be when they hit us.
How often to hypernovae occur?
Hypernovae occur frighteningly often. Every night more and more gamma ray bursts are located across the universe. They are so powerful we can see them 10 billion light years away, on the other side of the space. At this distance they are no threat, but if one were to occur even a few thousand light years away then the ozone layer would be destroyed and EMP would fry every electronic circuit on one half of the planet. Hypernovae are constantly occurring all over the universe, one day our luck will run out.
