UFO picks up teens in car and drops 180 feet away?

So this kid borrows her mom's car, parks in a parking lot, the car ends up damaged, cracked windshield, and airbags deployed, ... but you know, it's not just an auto-wreck caused by some adolescents fooling around and knocking off the parking brake, and while being too distracted by each other's genitalia they didn't notice they had started rolling, no, aliens did it, ... and nobody else saw anything, other than the teens involved in the wreck.

Damn, you're gullible Alan.

Very unlikely to make up a story no one would believe anyway. so we can take that off the table.

How fast would an alien vehicle need to travel to get to the earth? then we need to examine the possibilities. i dont think there are any possibilities and that is the only reason for me to reject the existence of visitations from other planets.

time+life expectancy= most likely an impossibility. how long would an intelligent living organism be willing to live in space even if it were possible? 10 years...20..30? unlikely. worm holes, the superhighway in space. i doubt it.
 
not to mention that IF it did take that long this precludes the likelihood of multiple visits and sightings. it isnt like just taking a casual ride.

I cannot claim to know for certain but there are things we do know. For one, what is the fastest somehting capable of carrying intelligent life to a planet that is further away than Jupiter? At some point any object, such as that, would reach the point of diminishing returns and the speed alone would destroy the craft. The speed creates too much friction and substances to withstand that, most likely, do not exist in nature anywhere. When you take into account the aging process and what we already know then the ligical conclusion is that it is so unlikely as to not even probable.

We have seen close up views of the panets. Notably Saturn and Jupiter.

And that is still over 6 million miles from Jupiter.

No. A Toyota would have kept going.

I totally misread your posts.
I apologize. I was misled by the starter line:
"Very unlikely to make up a story no one would believe anyway. so we can take that off the table."
I took that to mean that the story had to be true, and travel arrangements after to demonstrate that if not an alien, the giant birdie.

Bollocks.

1. Generation star ships.
2. Life spans of thousands of years.
3. At close to light speed subjective travel time is almost irrelevant.
4. Hibernation
5. von Neuman probes with embryos

You just aren't thinking.

Although possible, impractical.

As of yet, there is no conclusive evidence of Alien Visitation on Earth.

Instead, alien visitors has replaced previous superstition of Ghosts, wraiths, goblins and the like.

It's just the modern version.

As it stands, extreme distances separate worlds. VERY Extreme.
There is no sign of intelligent life other than Our Own in our Solar System.
Not much evidence of anything nearby, either.

This leads to the only possibilities being at very prohibitive distances.
Although it's possible, it is not possible enough to base any rational conclusions on.
 
Opiolite:2. Life spans of thousands of years.

What life spans of thousands of years?

I am working on the assumption of craft with intelligent life on them. How many times would an alien species travel and wait that long for the ship to reach the earth? maybe a few times but if you cannot physically get to a place with intelligent life (real organisms that think and are organic, not made in a lab) onboard then it is really more trouble than it is worth. There can be mechanical devices, robotic devices but not organic. This is, most likely, IMPOSSIBLE.

I just think the aliens would get bored observing the earth. Clearly the ability to get here would signify a level of intelligence and the idea they would do that just for the hell of it is not indicative of intelligence. Sure i can see a few times but not all these claimed sightings. We have decades worth of supposed sightings, if even a fraction of them were true then that would be a lot of traffic up there in space. And for what purpose? to observe and not even physically be there?

Maybe they started the anal probing because they got bored with observing.

Of course. Because no one ever makes up stories do they?

Speed alone wouldn't do anything.

The speed creates too much friction and substances to withstand that, most likely, do not exist in nature anywhere.

Friction with what?

Why do such a complex and ridiculously unbelievable one though? If they messed about and pranged the car, then they could simply say a domestic cat ran out right in front of them and caused them to swerve up a curb. Make more sense wouldn't it? Why would you want all your family and friends thinking you're nutters for the rest of your life? :shrug:

Why indeed.
But it works - Whitley Streiber, the loggers who had the film made about them... the list goes on.
 
Each incident needs to be studied case by case. In this particluar scenario, the big lie etc doesn't fit, there was no money to be made etc..

Right. And being scared of what mum and dad would say/ do for trashing the car due to fooling around wouldn't be an excuse either. :rolleyes:
Just read through some of the threads we have on the utter depths of human stupidity/ avoidance.
The most recent one was (IIRC) the guy who ended up being forced to call the cops over a (false) mugging because he lied about giving $5 to charity or something.
