I just got Amazon prime and watched Earth:final conundrum and now I'm getting bombarded with UFO recommendations.
Watched a few.
What are peoples' opinions?

Opinion about what... The show? Or UFOs in general? The show: Haven't watched that show yet... or anything else on Amazon about aliens, really (other than Ancient Aliens because my Fiance likes to have it playing as she drifts off to sleep, sometimes.) In general: Well, with more and more "official" information releases from the .gov, it does lend credence to the idea that SOMETHING is out there. Personally, I tend to agree with the Fermi Paradox... at least as far as we understand the physics of the universe, it makes sense.
I def want to believe that there is something else out there, hopefully benevolent, that would possibly give us a hand in getting over the Species development hump of multiple nation states battling it out over finite resources, by introducing near limitless, cost-free energy, that somehow ends up uniting the Earth (and of course, its peoples) in a grand scheme to branch out into the stars as a whole new batch of colonizers... I just don't think it's likely. As we understand things, to have the ability to travel the stars in anything other than a slow as 「fluffernutter」, multi-generational caravan, there should be some sort of evidence of intelligent civilizations. Things like obvious Sun harvesting gear that changes the way we receive light and other emissions from a star, as well as any other observations that Astronomers could pick up with the equipment and data that they have now.
But... I threw out the sheet anchor of "as far as we understand the physics of the universe" to cover for the fact that there absolutely could be things that we know nothing about and can't account for by using the observational methods that we do, today.
In a nutshell... Sounds cool and I love SciFi, but without proof, I decline to profess belief or disbelief, yet keep an open mind.

that somehow ends up uniting the Earth (and of course, its peoples) Right now, I'd just take this. Really tired of the thought police trying to rule the world.
I liked it better when everyone who wanted to rule the world just sang along with Tears For Fears. |

I'm a long-time UFO interested-person/hobbyist.
Now that seemingly EVERYBODY has a darn fine camera in their hip-pocket, "WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD PICTURES OF UFOs and BIGFOOT?" There aren't any pics because they don't exist.
Bigfoot definitely does not exist. Sorry to those enthusiasts.
UFOs (as in the little green man type of UFO) probably do exist in this vast Universe of ours. Have they been here? Heck if I know.

UFOs (as in the little green man type of UFO) probably do exist in this vast Universe of ours. Have they been here? Heck if I know. I saw a UFO 5 years ago. It wasn't dancing lights, a flying saucer, or any of the stuff you see on the internet.
I was at my parents' house in suburban Maryland in the evening. You could fairly call it dusk, I suppose. As you can imagine there's a lot of waste light in the Washington DC suburbs. Anyway, I was walking on their sidewalk to get to the garage when I looked up at the stars for some reason.
My eye caught some movement way up there maybe 60 degrees up from the horizon and off to the East. It moved like a satellite does in a straight line as if going around the Earth. It then stopped, flared quite brightly, then changed direction and went what I can only describe as being "out." It rather quickly got dimmer/smaller as it went away.
I couldn't say it was aliens or anything like that. It didn't move like any of the stuff I've read about online. It meets the description of UFO in that it's unidentified, flew, and was certainly an object.

UFOs (as in the little green man type of UFO) probably do exist in this vast Universe of ours. Have they been here? Heck if I know. Out of curiosity, why does Bigfoot not exist? Also those guys are hardcore That’s a fair question. Over the years i’ve wanted Bigfoot to exist and i’ve been rooting for the hunters. Assuming that there’s nothing weird/supernatural/alien about BF, then if you look at it solely as a large bipedal mammal, then... A: There has to be a viable breeding population of, I don’t know, 200? And even that is dangerously low genetics-wise. B: After all the efforts not one skeleton has been found. No thigh bone, no teeth. Where do the dying ones go? Some subterranean burial ground? No skeletons of The Bumble Snow man either. They bounce apparently. C: They are so fantastically smart that none get hit by an 18 wheeler or cornered by mistake by a group of deer hunters? There’s such a vast lack of evidence after all this time that we need to throw in the towel. If i’m wrong i’ll be the first to cheer for the hunters/enthusiasts, but i’m no longer holding my breath. |

I’ve seen some UFOs myself and the craziest ones were of the similar type to yours that is some weird satellite flight pattern. Certainly nothing scary, and not convincing to myself. My brother saw a large silent craft fly overhead at night maybe at 300 feet altitude that he said was definitely not any kind of normal aircraft. It would’ve had to be a blimp, basically without lights flying way too low at night. Unlikely, right? But certainly not proof of an alien horde.  |

As I amass more and more days behind me a fewer in front, I increasingly think we’re an accident. If it’s true that every snowflake is unique and no two anywhere are exactly alike despite existing in the confines of a 6-sided ice crystal model (are they still pushing that notion in schools today?), then it’s entirely likely that we are just as unique and alone in the universe. If that correlation isn’t enough, look at all the variables that are possible in the whole universe and the tiny slivers of ranges that they all have to meet at the same time in the same place, it wouldn’t take much to convince me that the conditions necessary to support intelligent life (if you call this intelligent) are a freak happenstance that should never have happened.
Or we’re an experiment concept that’s the subject of an intergalactic reality show.

"aliens" are just humans from another galaxy that are more advanced\and or out ancestors were exiled from the homeworld to this solar system. |
