Seriously If you can travel across the universe. What do we have that anyone would want or be interested in? Aside from life?

If you can get here. And you wanted resources there are plenty of other rocks with fancy stuff in them every where else in our solar system let alone the rest of the universe.

If you can travel faster than the speed of light. I think it is reasonable to assume they will have mastered Nuclear fusion. So park yourself in a nebula and you have more resources than you could possible ever need. Even if it wasn't present in its raw state you could produce anything through fusion.

Seriously earth is along way to go to pick a fight you know you will win, undertake an anthropological study or get resources you can get anywhere else...

Ok but what if the resource you wanted was meat, blood or bone, perhaps they are fertilising a garden or having a BBQ.

As has been pointed out there are thousands of rocks, asteroids and planets out there to mine for minerals or gases but I imagine this is one of the few with people.

Can anyone tell me the Earth people had the ability fly out the solar system? 2020 or 2090?

Well we have the ability to do it right now but it will take a long time to reach the end of the solar system.

Are we making ground on' them', are we dangerous, etc. etc.

For example, our development of nuclear power may have triggered such a signal . Are we being monitered?

Are we giant intellects or are we comparatively puny, with enlarged egos?

That got me to thinking along that line, too...

Sightings of UFO or extraterrestials have been on record since the beginning of Man's civilization. Even the Holy books mentioned it, phrases form the Bible, Quran, nad the Hindu scripts mentioned beings with extraordinary powers.

But, sightings have significantly increased since the development of nuclear power. Sightings, if you noticed, are rather high with country with nuclear capabilities. Why? I really do not have an answer to that.

Are we being monitored? Yes, possibly...

Another factor that we may want to consider is that these extraterrestials that we see or encounter could be this- they are our future decendants and that they may have somehow discovered time travel...

The American scientist said ,if three man abords spaceship fly to Mars. Each man need 12 tons oxygen gas in a single trip ,expect foods,water,and other supplys. How the man get the oxygn gas in the space? The singe trip need one year.
You said the human had ability fly out solar system is wrong! Of course the NASA use Unmanned probe can reach Uranus and shoot its photos. But it's not a Earth people fly out solar systems.

Only three countries capability land on Mars: The USA , China , Russia. Maybe USa astronaut land on Mars will happen in 2050, Chinese can land on Mars in 2060,Russuia will land on Mar in 2080. I guess.


But I don't think the resource and mineral only belong the three countries. Any resource in solar system belong all the human of the Earth!

Food is the only real issue there as we can recycle/generate oxygen and water but I would suggest that supplies would be sent ahead as unmanned stores vessels and the manned ship would resupply as it caught up to the supply dumps.

Based on current technology it would take roughly 20 years to reach the Kuiper belt so about 40 years to reach the edge of the solar system therefore it is not impossible just impractical.

Isn't it Lake Titicaca in Peru that is meant to be an alien underwater base, it is one of the worlds UFO hot spots.

Most life forms in outer space are probably microbial, but a handful of them may be advanced enough to actually reach us. Now, from their perspective, we humans are the microbial life and we would simply not be that interesting to them. I think this is one reason aliens don’t come here and say, “Take me to your leader, Earth man.” An extremely advanced civilization visiting humans would almost be like humans going down to an ant hill and telling them: "I bring you computers, I bring you knowledge…" Most of the time we simply step on them instead.

If intelligent alien life forms do exist out in the vastness of space, they might not be the friendly cosmic neighbors the people of Earth are looking for. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they could reach. If so, it makes sense for them to exploit each new planet for material to build more spaceships so they could move on. Who knows what the limits would be? We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.

Seems along way to go to have a BBQ. Synthetic fertilizers would be far more cost effective. Unless aliens were culturally compelled to travel ridiculous distances to seek out steak. If they were they wouldn't be able to just destroy the planet. Who is to say that when the get here the don't develop a taste for lamb?
