hybrids are ...[text shortened]... n earth, unless to steal resources from us! what about the hybrids...they wont talk and we cant.
You are joking! ๐Ÿ˜€

Technically, this is MY thread. ๐Ÿ˜›

Ever see Terminator? The original? Go to the scene with the psychologist in the police station explaining to Sarah Connor his psychological assessment of her latest squeeze from the future and you'll know what I wanna say.

Yeah, now if we combine the techniques of finding the organic molecules witht he techniques used to find rocky planets in the goldilocks zone we'll be getting somewhere!

You should have qualified that with "outside our solar system". There are other planets in our solar system with methane and that has been known for a long time.
That fact should make it unsurprising that other planetary systems contain planets with methane.
True, though one would hope that other people read the links before posting. The most interesting point is that it was from such a distance, should it be possible to downscale it, without the background star bleaching out the required data, it could be very useful.

hey i think i saw that movie ..........the man who fell to earth, with david bowie? : )
we cant trust other people to think on our behalf so i form my own views. it is more rational to assume that there is life out there, rather than the other way around.

we're all telepathically controlled by aliens the less we kn ow, the easier it is for them to control us. if you don;t know they exist๐Ÿ˜ด then athey already control you and us

Here's something interesting related to this thread:
I was on a research team about 20 years ago.Our goal was to find theoretical existing earth like planets with a higher probability of life on them from various distant stars in our galaxy.
Now,how on earth is this accomplished,especially if we only had only relatively amateur sized telescopes and spectrographic equip.?No floating telescopes in space,no large multimillion dollar scopes,ect.
My team and i plotted various class M stars(stars identical in size,age,surface temperature,radiation ect)compared to our sun.This is done with piggy backed spectrometry devices on the telescopes we owned.Mine was a 24 inch diameter reflector telescope.the scope was about 10 foot long.Now using special cameras and the spectroscope,we can identify through light analysis which stars are identical to our sun.Then,through long time lapse photography and open shutters on the camera,night after night we plotted which M like stars ALSO has a slight "wobble" to them as they rotated.Now what does this mean?Answer:Those 2 or 3 stars out of about 60 that we plotted,means that there was some kind of "external" pull on that star to cause it to wobble...like a solar system!yes,it could be a large bunch of astroids,but asteriods have much less of a gravametric pull than a solar system.Now,this all does not prove the existance of life with planets revolving around that star,and not even the space telescope has enough resolution to prove it,but the probabilty of life on a planet from a wobble star,especially on a class M star increases the probability a 1000 fold!Now the next step was to focus a radio telescope to those stars,but we never got that far,plus an answer would have taken a few hundred years!
