news://news.povray.org:119/54256812@news.povray.org here I explain that 
are not only theories. Aliens, can't be discarded, a lot of BS about 
them, but still many things without explanation, and there is a 
plausible number of hundreds of intelligent species to be alive right 
now in the know Universe, I admit that might be all BS and that the next 
intelligent civilization could be too far way, but again, we don't know. 
This is supported by the fact that the satellite that is charting all 
the planets in the known universe is finding more than the scientist 
anticipated, Keppler IIRC.

That's you opinion and I think the same about you right here.

As I wrote, I wanted not so much to discuss but to inform and again, 2 
of my 6 posts were links only. I have background info that supports my 
posting, not abundant but I think enough for solid probable cause and 
those articles are mostly facts what's happening in actuality and some 
documentaries are more than theories are facts as the ones I pointed out 
in that other post, so it's about analyzing and checking, but people are 
simply lazy and call BS and forget about it, because they like their 
"perfect little corner of the Wworld".

I am, and ready many of the posts silently over time and checked that a 
good number of them are political-related and the rest pretty random, so 
I thought mine wouldn't be the exception but rather normal but 
interesting, maybe you should check the topics before making this such 
recommendation.
