SVK5 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I have been wondering ....like i know that aliens are real...we can't be alone in vast universe it doesn't make sense ....but why don't they just appear in front of us....i mean even other supernatural beings are just hidden...why are they so hard to find?

Holmbo Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Aliens are not supernatural beings though. I would love for us to find aliens. I'm reading a book with alien first contact now and it's great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jot-Aro Kujo Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Huh? There's nothing supernatural about aliens. Just because someone's from a different planet doesn't mean they're like, a ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option is that their apparent habit of abducting drunk dudes in the middle of nowhere and sticking a probe up their bums is actually not on. Maybe any alien that wants to visit earth is put on a watchlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaAro Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 You say they hide. But can you really discount all those stories about alien lovers as mere alloromantic fantasies? 7 hours ago, Holmbo said: Aliens are not supernatural beings though. What about Deanna Troi? Or is Xenu conceived as supernatural? 👽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltalorian Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Not gonna lie, if I were a member of an advanced species where I could go to any planet on holiday, one where the locals are slowly cooking the damn thing to death wouldn't exactly be my first pick. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is called "Dark Tourism". It depends if the aliens are into this. If yes, Earth would be a great destination.

Luc Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 They aren't obligated to and they probably think we are idiots lol. If you are interested in alien stuff, check out Hellier it's on YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a book where the plot was that aliens had agreement they were allowed to enslave any civilization that wasn't sustainable, so they came to earth to sabotage humans effort to stabilize climate change.

SkyTuneRein Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) If and when they make their presence known, it's likely because they want the Earth's natural resources. If they've already been here covertly, they're likely to only be here for observation (if they're scientists) or reconnaissance (for future attacks or ensuring we're no threat yet). That said, getting here would be a huge feat in the first place which means their tech would be far beyond ours (and they'll be much smarter) and they're determined enough, which probably means they want precious resources or they're very concerned about us. Although sailing over the Atlantic is much easier, looking at what the Europeans did to the Americans during the colonial days, the exploring and travelling between was still a feat that was driven more than just discovery. So one can imagine that all but the most advanced and well-travelled beings won't be just dropping by to say "hi". Whether it's gathering resources or information, there's bound to be a bigger reason and probably not in our favour. The question is, are humans just particularly cruel and greedy, or is it an inevitable trait within interloping/expansive beings? If they're really advanced, and staying out of sight, then it may be in both of our interests to maintain the status quo which is why they're doing it. The less advanced they are, the more they'll need to take stuff from other planets and the harder it is to get there, thus the more likely they'll be here as a threat. So let's just hope they're the former and we'll not hear from them anytime soon...or not? Edited June 18, 2022 by SkyTuneRein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticanary Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 ok we've talked aliens a fair bit now but i'm really interested in the other supernatural creatures bit. Like, does anyone have a favourite. I mean, as far as i'm concerned dragons good, manticores very good. not keen on unicorns, just skinny rhinos. honestly i'm more keen on what is the sillyest thing i can find rather than any care about whether they have a chance of being true. Llamhigyn Y Dwr is the goodest froggy wild haggis is a very important beast, as is the square pig, which between them provide the scottish people with much of their sustenance. although i'm not sure if they count as supernatural. my favourite though is there's a village in norfolk with a fairy cow which appears when the village is in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyTuneRein Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Behold, the Flying Spaghetti Monster...probably alien and supernatural. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
