Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Have the aliens landed?; Have the little green men made contact, or is it a figment of our imagination?

Then again, if you look at all the videos of lights presumably from spaceships, they SEEM like they could be from aliens. If I remember correctly, there was a massive sighting somewhere where witnesses observed many lights in the shape of a triangle. After maybe twenty minutes, all of the lights seemingly broke of and whizzed in all different directions. Make of that what you will.

I've seen UFO's. They appeared above my street. They looked like areoplane lights, but they moved too fast and too close together to actually belong to one. Having said that, if they were UFO's from another planet, either they were unmanned probes, or the aliens were tiny....

Do you mean Phoenix Arizona?

Kingpin, I'll agree with you. That's part of why I put 'I'm not sure'. Even though I want to say 'No', I can't do it without a small twinge of doubt.

I saw a U.F.O. when I was 6. It was just above the tree across the street from me. It flew to low to be a plane and a large portion night sky was missing, and in its place was a triangular shadow with ten even sized lights forming a band across its middle. Then it flew off after 10 seconds.

That's certainly more spectacular than the usual descriptions for UFOs. Nevertheless, I remain a skeptic. You seemed to be pretty young at the time, sure it wasn't a dream of a false memory?

Most UFO sightings can be explained, there are, however, unexplained events that are aknowledged by authorities such as airforces etc.

The Phoenix sighting? Official explanation is that it was a training operation, and that the lights were flares on parachutes. May not fit all of the descriptions, but such things can be very confusing if you don't know what they are.

For example, it is very, very easy to identify aircraft as UFOs. And UFO also does not mean "extraterrestrial spacecraft". It means Unidentified Flying Object, which is Exactly What It Says On The Tin.
A hard mathematical figure provides a sort of enlightenment to one's understanding of an idea that is never matched by mere guesswork.

Are you plausible?

You'd think, with all of the astonomers, both professional and amateur, training their telescopes, binoculars, and even attention at the skies, that there would be a much larger number of reported sightings, and with better documentation to boot...

They are documented daily and documented well. It's just goes in the 'oh how nice, you saw something' category.

The Triangle is one of the most common UFO sightings. A lot of people connect it too either Project Aurora (which I am skeptical of) or a few patents that came out rather recently for a series of 'Stealth Blimps'.

FakePokemon, do you live in the sourthern or central U.S?

Despite these relatively unexplained sightings, I am still a skeptic.

Just say I'm from Missouri, if any of you all get the joke.

This is why I don't believe in anything cryptozoology or ufology says. I've got to have conclusive proof before I believe something pseudoscientifical.

If you don't count in the fact, that they are surely in the possession of highly advanced technology, that trick our detection methods.

Not that I am advocating UFO sightings, but I think, that, even if aliens are visiting our planet on a frequent basis, we wouldn't even be ABLE to find out.

Maybe they're still trying to find out how to best approach us without having us run around as headless chicken. :P

I don't know. If I were an alien race, I'd WANT humans to run around like headless chickens. Headless chickens are much easier to kill than headed ones.
