So they come down here and let them be caught on film? (I know you already said you didn't believe this story though.)

I could believe that alien life visits Earth, I just won't believe they look anything like us.

*shrug*... Who's to say they'd even recognize what it is?

Someone happened to have a video camera, happened to already be filming, happened to notice something was wrong, and happened to look up just in time to record the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center on 9/11...

To name the most notable "right place, right time" video capture I can think of...

Caught on film / be recognized on film.... whatever.

I actually do like Spielberg's Taken.

Err, I meant who's to say the alien would recognize what the video camera was, it's purpose, etc etc... It wouldn't "let itself" be captured on film, but it wouldn't "not let itself" be captured on film either...

If it was captured on film, it would be because someone with a video camera happened to cross paths with it, and was able to get it out and turned on before it like... Ran away or... Bit their head off or something...

And if it was captured on film, it might not even realize it...

Ok ok you got your point I guess. Alien life would posibly not understand our world, running around like idiots. Somehow I have to take a look at your avatar now.

But it has nothing to do with my original point, that chances are practically zero that aliens would look like us. Unless they got the ability to change form or project things.

Just on this whole alien note, I want to say that, while I dont believe it, it could be true.


Aliens would most likely look like us, if they were carbon based. Because we're evolved to be (like Dylflon said) best suited for the environment and all that jazz. Now, the chance is, if carbon based, their environment would partially resemble ours. So while they could have Wharf-like ridges on their faces, they would most likely have foreward set eyes, opposable thumbs, ears and a nose.


Also, in response to Canyarion, they would come here to study people. If anything. They dont know they're being caught on film, if thats the case. Much like sometimes someone can take a picture of you and you wouldnt know they are.


And to all the people who say "well why do aliens only go to farms?"

Let me put it this way. If we had the technology, and wanted to study another planet. Would we drop our recon team to a heavily life infested area, or a rural area where we can study plantlife from a safe distance from a freak out of the alien life masses?


But like I said, I think the whole alien jazz is bollox.

Well there's no proof that was an alien. Could be some mutant of some sort. It's not like they saw it take off in a ship to classify it as an alien.

About coming to our planet: there is a theory that the greys are actually humans from the far distant future.
