Are we alone in the universe? Are there extraterrestrials who have come, seen, and decided we're better off by ourselves? Better off for them, rather. That would explain why the existence of aliens isn't widely confirmed, though evidence they've visited at least keeps mounting.
Fermi's Paradox suggests we should have met other intelligent life by now because the likelihood of earth containing the only life in the universe is so slim. So, whether they're not out there because life actually IS rare and we're a freaking miracle....or something else.
On r/AskReddit, user u/Sisyphuzz asked, "What’s the best theory on UFOs or aliens you’ve ever heard?"
The responses cover more than "is there isn't there" when it comes to aliens, bringing up alternate realities, underwater alien agencies, and time traveling.
It's given me a lot to think about and some very exciting conspiracy theories to dive into. Join me on the other side:
1.
If aliens are on this planet, they are likely using the ocean as a place to hide —Frequent-Muffin1
Absolutely. The Nimitz encounter and some of the best actual video evidence we have shows that UFOs and USOs might be the same thing and that they can easily travel through both water and air.
Plus there have been rumors about Lake Baikal in Russia for centuries. (Lake Baikal is one of the deepest lakes on Earth and could absolutely harbor some crazy sh-t.) —cbandy
2.
That Greys aren't fully biological, but rather remotely controlled androids, or that they are biological, but their "Grey" appearance is a suit and not the actual body. —FZIdeas
3.
Inter dimensional not extraterrestrial —oiquake
4.
That if any civilization elsewhere in the universe had the technology to reach us, for any reason, they'd be very likely to also be able to disguise their presence from our detection methods. —Zharan_Colonel
5.
Aliens don’t necessarily mean an intelligent civilization. —Xerxes_Generous
6.
There are so many star systems with potentially inhabitable planets out there that the chances that we have been the only life in the universe is extremely slim.
The question, instead, is whether life arising elsewhere has managed to survive destruction and remain alive today such that they might be able to contact us.
That is to say, there have probably been countless civilizations for the past several billion years that simply haven't made it. —boulomai_mathein
7.
The best two I've heard:
We don't allow ourselves to contact lost tribes in the Amazon or other wild places. Extraterrestrials may have similar laws on a galactic scale.
We split the atom, but made weapons out of them instead of trying to reach the stars. They leave us alone out of fear that we'll destroy ourselves if war accidentally breaks out. —Throwitaltawayroot
8.
That life in the universe could be so unrecognizable to us that we wouldn’t even register it as being alien life. What if life on another world was not carbon-based, but another element?
How would we even know what to look for since our definitions and descriptions of life are based on a completely different perspective? —swheels125
9.
Any species advanced enough to find us wouldn't "make contact". They'd study us the way we study animals. Ideally with minimal interference. Compare the average "abduction" story to the way we dart large animals, collect data and leave them to wake a bit groggy and confused but unharmed. —thepizzapeople
10.
UFOs are higher-dimensional objects moving through our dimension.
Like, if we moved a 3D object through 2D space, to a 2D being it would look crazy weird. A hollow sphere would start as a dot, then look like a hula-hoop that starts small, gets big, then small again. They'd have no idea what they were looking at.
So wtf would a higher dimensional object look like passing through our 3D dimension? It might rapidly change shape or appear to move at incredible speed as the (whatever) moved through our space-time. Gravity wouldn't affect it (I don't think). It wouldn't appear to have any form of propulsion. —mkultra123
11.
Or, as they can harness huge amounts of energy and can probably fuse any element they want and manufacture anything they want, they have no need to conquer or invade. Why would they want our crappy little planet?
They could just build one, or move a suitable planet closer/further away from a closer star. They might seek information, the existence of new life and their stories, but that would be about it. —OTCM_
12.
Consider the fact that the human race is a divided mess of contradictory intents. We have the scientific community reaching out peacefully, yet if aliens do come into the airspace of any nation, the first to greet them would be the military.
You can imagine what the response of the military would be when a UFO enters forbidden airspace.
Given the declassified government files regarding UFOs, it is quite likely that contact has been attempted in the past and the results being tragic. —CaptainPlanetZi
13.
The movie "Contact" actually makes a good case that we haven't been visited by UFOs or aliens.
Our most powerful broadcasts have traveled at best a few dozen light-years from this planet. To put that into perspective...
If the Milky Way galaxy was the same size as North America, the Earth would be a speck of dust floating around a nick knack on a living room table in a house in Arizona. Our most powerful broadcast signals have made it to the end of the driveway, or at best across the street.
If there were a hyper-intelligent species two blocks over desperately listening for signs of intelligence in the neighborhood, they wouldn't even know we existed for at least a couple thousand years.
When they finally picked up our signal (our first television broadcasts) it would take their response another couple thousand years to arrive here. —gogojack
14.
That there is no one else and we are those advanced aliens. The universe is still in its toddler stage in age and we are the first intelligent people. —oatdaddy
15.
There is a very simple explanation as to why abductees independently described grey aliens as looking the same. There are no aliens and no abduction took place, but rather they are abstracting residual memories leftover from being infants and looking up at adults.
Before an infant's visual cortex is fully developed, an adult human looking down at them would appear rounded and grey in color with large eyes. Cross that indistinct memory with a sleep state subconscious and standard psychological patterns and boom; alien abduction. It also explains the sensation of being lifted, examined, and probed. —Riccma02
16.
All the UFO sightings throughout history are just humans from the future on a time-traveling safari meant to observe how we were in the past. They are supposed to keep out of sight, but thanks to human/mechanical errors there have been hiccups with their cloaking which have resulted in being seen. That's why there have always been so many reports of them throughout history, but there has never been an attack. It's just us.
Also, the reason why we don't see many as many examples of UFOs now even though pretty much everyone has a camera is that people are not that interested in this time period since we already document aspects of human life all the time. —-eDgAR-
17.
Aliens may perceive the passage of time differently than us. Our whole existence could play our before they've had their proverbial morning coffee or vice versa. Do I believe it? No. Fun to think about. —____REDACTED_____
18.
That they are from a break-away human civilization that is keeping their secrets to themselves.
Essentially, that some place like "Wakanda" is real. Or that Jules Verne really isn't science "fiction" --- it's actually science "fact." When the rest of the world was making due with steam-powered industrialization, someone figured out anti-gravity and zero-point energy from the interaction between electromagnetism and gravity. So they kept this technology for themselves, and have been zipping around the rest of us keeping an eye on things. —TellurumTanner
19.
The most logical theory I've ever heard is that 99% of alien sightings are set up by special intelligence agencies to distract from more nefarious things they are doing. The best theory I've ever heard is that aliens do want to make contact with us but they're simply shy. —dreamwithinadream93
20.
That we haven't met a single one yet because they're either as technologically advanced as us, or not as much as us.—Abovearth31
21.
That there are alien empires out there, but our planet is just restricted because it is on the border or neutral zone between them, so no visitors are supposed to appear but some jump quarantine to visit and deal in exotic Earth goods. Also from Issac Arthur, the sightings of UFOs are just black market traders in their janky spaceships who have bad stealth tech so they are more easily sighted and sometimes even crash. The govts of Earth may have some low level deals with them for protection against things like asteroids. —generalsturgeon
22.
In an alternate reality, we have developed different forms of technology due to different historical choices. So the humans of that alternate reality have advanced enough to travel to other realities.
And another theory is that UFOs are just the alien equivalent of a microscopic lens, and our entire universe is just a petri dish. —GyaradosDance
23.
Aliens came to Earth in 2550BC and built the pyramids as a gift to thank the Egyptians for introducing them to cats (the animal)
Then they came back in 1981 and gave us the internet for introducing them to Cats (the musical)
Then they came back once again in 2019 and gave us COVID-19 for introducing them to Cats (the movie)
Prove me wrong. —Battelalon
