How much proof of aliens would you need to satisfy you?

See with physically with my 2 eyes.
If there were aliens, developed enough to travel through galaxies and the stars, then they would be powerful enough to enslave us or wipe us out.
No point believing in something like that when governments can’t even keep simple secrets from leaking. Especially worldwide.

If you don't believe in aliens you probably 'believe' the official story of the Kennedy killing,911,AIDS etc etc and no amount of evidence will convince you. That's ok! Many aliens actually live in the hollow earth whose volume exceeds the surface area:there are secret earth openings to access them everywhere but the main entrances are at both poles.
They were here before us!
They were here before us!

Y'all ever read 'Childhood's End'?
If we have 'proof' of extraterrestrials, the human race will be doomed to extinction.....moreso than we already are.

The contrary is actually closer to being true (see: Fermi Paradox), because we have no calculation or concept of the probability -
What you stated is the equivalent rationale of saying if you don't believe in God then "something is wrong with you".
I think that's a flawed analogy. We have proof and evidence that life has existed and evolved into a higher state at least once before in the universe (Earth). There's a precedent, so you can propose a rational hypothesis that given the same or similiar conditions elsewhere in the universe, it has or can occur again. And you could (theoretically) test that hypothesis.
None of that can be said for a belief in a traditional God concept.
And while The Fermi Paradox does have to be addressed in someway, it still only applies to our own galaxy. There are hundreds of billions of other galaxies that exist outside the Milky Way.
None.

I'm speaking in terms of theistic rationale (the equivalent of - I used this because it's easier to digest the point I was making), where there's the belief that we have a creator, and the evidence being our existence - we are the proof; now, quite obviously, just because we exist doesn't prove/disprove any concept of probability that there is a God, let alone that he made us.
And I think the "something is wrong with you" lining may have gone over your head, because just like theists tell us, if you don't believe in God, there is something wrong with you.

it always comes to down to.... what aliens?
organisms, plants, some form of life? i already believe it... no way there's that many stars and planets, and not a single sign of life except on one... impossible
but that movie shyt... i'd have to see it myself. i wouldn't even believe it on the news or if my mom said she saw one.. i need to see for myself cause space traveling beings with infinite technology, do not hide for billions of years... and our bytch ass little government couldn't hide it either

I look at this topic as two questions.
-- Do aliens exist?
-- Have we been visited by aliens?
I believe yes to the first, but I'm not sure about the second.

Dont mind me..Im a azzhole
If you believe in god, you have to believe aliens exist.
Because in theory...god is also a alien..

Basically this...chances are interstellar travel would take too long for organic life. Seems more likely being visited by alien technology or something like that.
I would have to know someone personally that this happened to, or if it happened to me.

Here's a fun question: How much of what we see as modern tech is alien derived? Smartphones, HD folding TVs, GPS and 3D printers?
I’m very well read in ufology, and I’m way past the point of questioning the alien phenomenon. It exists, I know it, and I’ve moved on to more interesting questions about the alien situation. If you’re not at that point yourself, you’ll probably find this unbelievable, but multiple sources say the “Greys” are biological robots. They are a neutral platform that different species program and send to other planets (for the reason you mentioned about interstellar travel taking to long). Supposedly the Greys have no “soul” like humans or other species. They’re like artificial intelligence. Allegedly, the Draconians use them for abducting humans and carrying out experiments. They’re basically computer technology, but made from organic compounds. They are disposable. Other species are said to use the “grey” platform to explore the universe.
Supposedly, President Eisenhower made a treaty with alien races in the 50s, where aliens can abduct a small number of humans in exchange for the aliens giving us new tech. So, if you follow that train of logic, most of the advancements from the 50s onward derive from alien technology.
