I have no doubts that we are regularly being observed and I'm interested to see what the consensus is on Pistonheads. The UFO phenomenon is something I've had a passing interest in for many years reinforced recently by the convincing account of a sighting made by a close friend.
My view is that Man has only really made scientific advances during the last 300 years or so. What do we know of civilisations that have evolved scientifically for hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of years? In comparison we know NOTHING.
Do a search on UTube for "Belgium UFO wave" or "UFO over Israel", and if you really want to become a little nervous "Mexico UFO fleet".

Agree with you on most counts but I wouldn't say it's a definite we are being observed, just highly likely. We have no idea of knowing what other races are out there unless they make themselves known to us, which by now they obviously have chosen not to. Can't blame them really, as a race us humans would appear mostly stupid, greedy, selfish and aggressive to an outsider viewing our planet from a distance. If I were an alien I would want nothing to do with the human race and would just monitor us to make sure we don't develop enough technology to pose a threat.
Believing we are alone in the universe just proves you don't understand how big the universe is. The probability of other life existing is 1, as far as I can tell.
With regards to being "observed"... my answer was "don't be stupid" but hey, its hard to know - maybe there IS a method of FTL travel, and we're just not advanced enough to know it yet.
Those videos are interesting but there's no scale and no frames of reference - and they could quite easily have been made using any number of "hoaxing" techniques which people have been doing for countless years.
My summary: Unproven, and highly unlikely.

Why would an alien specie with technology (presumably) thousands of years in advance to ours show themselves to us conspicuously in the form flying saucers ?
I'm not convinced, if they wtook the trouble to travel umpteen lightyears to get here, i'd imagine they would have developed some method of stealth.
Well, i suppose for all we know they are cunningly disguised as people, which explains a few things..

If there are other life forms out there, whos to say they are watching us?
We're not watching them.
There maybe another planet just like this one somewhere, with human beings and maybe they're more advances than us.
Maybe they are on the equivalent of PH now talking about whether we are watching them or not. Or even whether we exist. ooohhhh.
I'm getting confused now.

If they are so far advanced that we too them are just ants, relatively speaking no more intelligent that the other life forms on this planet - why should they give a stuff about us seeing them?I'm not convinced, if they wtook the trouble to travel umpteen lightyears to get here, i'd imagine they would have developed some method of stealth.

They would have the technology to understand us i would imagine, learn our languages, know how we think, etc.. So, by showing themselves so obviously, they know we would gain awareness of them, but why ?Also, unless the universe is teaming with life like our planet, then we should be worthy of interest
