Space The Final Frontier?

[moonraker558]

Just been standing outside looking at the stars, there is obviously other life out there but they say space is infinate but I believe everything has an end and nothing goes on forever, what do you think? are there other forms of life out there? I have witnessed something one night for which there is no explaination,and if space does have an ending what lies beyond? I would be interested to read your views. And no I have not been drinking.

The universe continues to expand. There was a theory a couple of decades ago that suggested that this process might halt and even reverse due to gravity, leading to what was coined the "big crunch" (cf "big bang"). This is generally thought not to be the case now.

Given the number of galaxies and stars, the likelihood that there is life beyond our solar system is as guaranteed as it's possible to be without physical proof...

[ChuckFickens]

the standard, accepted, big bang theory doesn't say the universe is infinite, it more like a finite sphere that is always growing.

that said I refuse to believe that this is the only planet that is able to support life in the universe,

When I was lorry driving I was returnig from a night run to Cornwall, while crossing a unpopulated area of Salisbury plain at about 0230 I saw what appeared to be 3 sets of triangular lights (9 in total) flying towards me at low level then banking over to their right in unison before vannishing. Even with the window wound down there was no noise at all. This was also witnessed by a another driver following me.

[caslass]

Maybe it was the Tardis.

[hannibalsmith]

A military secret testflight?

[ChuckFickens]

very likely it was the military around Salisbury plain area.

[moonraker558]

No I dont agree I live on Salisbury Plain and have worked for the MOD I have seen nearly everything there is to see military wise but I cant explain what this was.

[MarkRae]

You obviously haven't. If you had, you'd have had to sign the Official Secrets Act and the last thing you'd be doing is talking about it on a public website...

[hannibalsmith]

How big were they moonraker and was it 9 different objects in a "red arrows" formation or just one big one with many lights?

[moonraker558]

Three triangular shapes with a bright light in each corner 9 in total, flying at about 100 ft with no sound at all.

[hannibalsmith]

Strange, unexplained yet interesting. Was you a "believer' beforethis incident?

[moonraker558]

Yes I dont see why we are the only ones. I dont hold with the area51 stuff or anything like that or crop circles as I know some of the guys that are responsible and the pub they use as a meeting place.

[ChuckFickens]

probably 3 helicopters. you'd be surprised how close they can get and not be heard in the correct conditions and "stealth" helicopters have been around for years.

[hannibalsmith]

Ok, like I said were you a believer in ufo's or any other unexplained phenomenon or conspiracy theroies before this occurance?

[moonraker558]
