"We may not be alone"

PLOT TWIST - Alien female leaders reproductive organ is in her 'hands'

I've seen this image before, but I still want to know what horrors the kitten in the back can see....

Welcome to Earth

I'm surprised no else posted this

Given the sheer size of the universe, I think that it is inevitable that we are not alone. Whether or not we've actually been visited by aliens is another matter; I haven't seen anything that I would consider to be concrete proof, but on the other hand there have been some very compelling anecdotes.

As much as I like a good alien conspiracy theory this seems more like a scam by Reed to funnel taxpayer money into a bogus program run by one of his mates.

Have they revealed what sort of research this program conducted and what findings this research uncovered?

Seems...familiar.

if we exist its foolish to think that others dont, our own scientific research suggests that our part of the universe is younger than other parts and other parts are younger still than ours, so it stands to reason that there would be sentient life (maybe not as we know it) out there and at various degrees of advancement.

its often said that necessity is the mother of invention, and for us that tends to mean some avenue of warfare drives most things forwards (be that against the ravages of the natural world like viri or bacteria or militarily) we often innovate in order to overcome some obstacle and as a race humans tend to be quite adaptive, 

so is there some alien group out in the universe thats figured out some of the primary stumbling blocks preventing us from undertaking true intergalactic study (and transit) sure it stands to reason there would be, and at some point they will come into contact for sure..... we might be in a relatively uninhabited part of the galaxy or we might be in a very crowded region. 

sci-fi has done an awful lot to engender us as a race towards working together with aliens but at the same time combatting them if there unreasonable..... and it would tend to suggest that such things were also likely of any other alien race out there...

The galaxy is too big for us to alone in it. Heck even Proxima Centauri has a planet in its habitable zone, not to mention Europa and Enceladus. That said, in our current understanding the distances between stars are so vast it is impossible to travel between them in a reasonable time-frame. I do believe that there is another intelligent life form in our close neighborhood of stars (up to 30 light years away), but in our modern history at least we didn't meet them, because it will take too many people to hide an alien conspiracy, especially considering that US isn't the only country in the world. While it will be fun to speculate that US achieves technological superiority by reverse engineering alien technology stored in area 51, I very doubt that this is the case.

As for the program mentioned in the video, the more interesting implications would be to hear if they found something rather if they existed at all.
