Honestly, Allen, I'm not preoccupied with aliens and don't think of them
at all, really, until I get near a forum like this one. In the '90's,
though, I'll confess that I listened to the Art Bell show and enjoyed
it. I used to be very interested in all of that X Factor kind of thing
--the secrets of the pyramids,dire prophecies, Atlantis, the whole
lot. Since taking up the path of novel writing, though (wrote one,
which is a delightful train wreck, and my current one, which is going to
be my debut novel, I have no doubt-- I'm more concerned with getting
nouns and verbs to agree. I'll try to keep up in the future, though I
have to admit that the conversations I've seen here so far seem way out
of my ball park --and I've always been thought of as your smarter kind
of guy, Art Bell notwithstanding. Guess I should wait for subjects
which I, or anyone, knows about.

Of course there are "other" species the universe is to large for it
not to occur..
it is more of a question of what type of space drive have they
developed.. or have the figured out how to grasp the very fabric of
space and pull space toward themselves.. or how to travel immense
distances.. fortunately we have not.

Hey, Illuminated Friends,
I'm thinking I may have already asked this question in essence, but I'm
rolling it out again. It seems that I'm the high woo woo guy in this crowd,
though I freely admit that everyone entertains my high woo woo ideas with
all seriousness and courtesy.
So this is the thing: does the final game boil down to just humans and God
--whatever who / that is-- or do you suppose that we share this huge
universe --a universe positively dripping with poisonous gamma rays-- with
alien others? For my own part, I'm thinking that the cosmos has cooked up
numerous quasi-crustacean species on at least hundreds of thousands of
worlds in our galaxy alone, with an additional several hundred sentient
species for good measure. Most human beings, it seems to me, are basically
good as long as they're getting their basic animal requirements met, so I
also think that a few intelligent anthropoids have survived long enough to
have become space-faring peoples. It is beyond me, though, why any such
people would find us very interesting at this point in our history. Another
thousand years, should we make it that long, though, and I think that the
"Alien Love Fest" sequence from the end of "Close Encounters of the Third
Kind" will have become reality.
