Do you think extraterrestrials exist? Why or why not? What is your opinion of ufos? Of the ones that are not lies, hoaxes, or people making mistakes, do you think they are alien, military, illusions, undiscovered natural phenomenon, ghosts or other spirits, a combination of these things, or something completely different?


First of all, I think extraterrestrials do exist. The universe is just so big that it just seems impossible for there not to be someone else out there. There must be at least some other spark of life out in the deep dark universe.

Secondly, I cautiously believe that a very few ufos may be extraterrestrial in origin. "I want to believe." However, I think that a large number of the ufos that are seen and not immediately found to be mistakes or hoaxes may be natural phenomenon of some sort. As for the abductions, there may be a few that really are from extraterrestrials, but most of them are probably lies/hoaxes or take place entirely inside the person's brain. I have seen on TV that they did experiments with the effects of certain magnetic waves or radio waves or something on people completely alone and with there senses blocked. These people reported many things that were typical of an abduction. This combined with sleep paralysis* are probably the source of most non-hoax abduction reports.

*When you sleep, you are normally paralysed except for your eyes to keep you from acting out your dreams. It doesn't always work (sleep walkers). Sometimes something goes wrong and people can awake while still paralyzed. They can see, hear, and feel everything around them, but are paralysed for a short time. This is what is known as sleep paralysis (as far as I know).
