SETI?
Oh cool
Is it a quest for one of the most significant discoveries in the history of humans, or a fool’s errand? What are the odds that we will ever contact ET? What would be its impact: awesome advances in science or marginal gains in knowledge; a recipe for saving our planet or a precursor of our destruction? The questions that orbit the world of SETI are grand in scope. While the investment in the search is tiny compared to the overall extent of the academic sciences, let alone national budgets, it is serious and warrants the continuing effort. The probability of success may be quite small, but if we never search, or buy that LOTTO ticket, the odds are even closer to zero. Though perhaps ET might show itself without our searching (or already has, according to some whose veracity you may evaluate for yourself).
We discussed these odds in a previous essay in this series (The Drake Equation Revisited). No one knows the number of civilizations in our galaxy that can send us information. Rational scientists and non-professionals can justify the answer ranging from one (we are alone) to millions amidst the 300 billion stars and a comparable number of planets in our Milky Way galaxy. Of the variables involved in the estimate, the largest range of uncertainty seems to be the chance that technological civilizations will arise on a planet with a hospitable temperature, and the lifetime such civilizations. (SETI choses a standard definition of “technological” to refer to entities that send out radio or optical signals we can detect, or who just show up here in person or via their artifacts or machines. Sorry, smart dolphins don’t count.). In addition, there are billions of more galaxies in the visible universe, and the unseen universe might be infinite in scope. But what do we expect if and when the contact occurs? The only safe assumption is that the response will not be blasé.
Speculations on the consequences of contact ranges from utopian to disastrous. As Michael Michaud so colorfully put it, “contact could lead to a Woodstock of the Skies or to Armageddon.” Perhaps the minimum state of SETI success would be a radio or optical signal that unequivocally comes from ET. A series of prime numbers as in the book and movie Contact would suffice. Many of us would be delighted just to know that we are not alone in the cosmos. As for me, I would also like to know if biology could have originated elsewhere, and how it found alternate solutions to create life from non-living chemistry. What other ways did assembled molecules use energy to create structures, to grow, to find the means to produce offspring and evolve into myriad species? For that, finding microbial life on Mars or under the ice of some moons of Jupiter or Saturn would do the trick. But if we expect more from the “I” of SETI, a “here-we-are” call would be followed by a message that we could decode. Some of the pioneers of SETI even hope those messages would not only advance our science, but solve the problems of humanity as well. In this regard, astronomer Gerrit Verschuur called SETI “a technological search for god”.

If you're going to serve up copypasta, at least hold the food coloring.
Seti is costing billions of dollars...they would not spend that kind of money if it was all a bogus story...
I dont know how it got black lol
It is the other way around...If they can find us they have the advantage of technology...Better hope they have good plans with us...

the Fermi Paradox is the most interesting take on this. i suggest looking it up yourself. my explanation sill surely fall short (and im lazy)

The ignorance that our civilization is based in, concerning science, loses hold the fact of what’s within each of these massively huge ‘VOLUMED’ planets. There could easily be several hundred different extraterrestrial species with their metropolises etc. far far beyond our captive understanding, since the day the doctor slapped our hiney to make sure not a lousy conception of a manifestation as a stillborn, as he grabbed us out of the womb.
Only on wonderfully good circumstances, I totally agree, yes!

A little from the article;
Prophecies & Predictions
The Henoch Prophecies from the Billy Meier Contacts
So many of the prophecies and predictions written by, Swiss UFO contactee Billy Meier, and/or given to him by the Plejaren extraterrestrial/alien human beings, have come true that we'd be wise to heed the warning that terrible things will befall humanity and our planet if we don't correct our errors and learn to live together in peace, love, freedom and harmony.
Proof Beyond A Reasonable Doubt
Many people are still unaware of the amazing story of "Billy" Eduard Albert Meier, the now 77-year-old Swiss man whose voluntary, face-to-face contacts with extraterrestrial/alien human beings have been going on for the past 72 years. For many years, Meier was dismissed by sceptics as a fraud and hoaxer. But the recent failure of the top professional sceptics' organisation CFI-West, in Los Angeles, to duplicate even one of his "easily duplicated" UFO photos or film segments, followed by the sudden retraction by magician/debunker James Randi that the case is a hoax, has resulted in much deserved, renewed interest in the case. In addition to producing the clearest photos, films and video of UFOs ever taken, as well as other physical evidence, for the past nearly 60 years Meier has published the most specific, prophetically accurate, scientific and world-event-related information of any known source.
Before you consider the prophecies and predictions below, please note that from his 251st Contact on February 3, 1995, Meier published advance warning of the US attack on Iraq, the increase in Islamic terrorism to follow, the appearance of SARS, the spread of "mad cow disease", the renewed public concern over chemical warfare, and the near accident at the nuclear power plant near Lyon, France (which occurred in August 2003). All of this information and more from the 251st Contact was also published in Guido Moosbrugger's book, And Yet They Fly!, in September 2001—well before any of the foretold events occurred. Combine this unprecedented evidence and all of the following with the still irreproducible, scientifically authenticated physical evidence, and you may understand why this remarkable one-armed man, who has been the target of 21 documented assassination attempts, stands at the centre of the most important story in all of human history.
Okay.....please listen @ 1:02:44 to 1:10:42.
This is from a respected Military Soldier, his Grandad gave him a diary describing what he witnessed and experienced at the true account at Roswell. These photos are what's being shared here.
The whole video is astoundingly interesting information, but not a short one, but do feel free to watch entirely and enjoy..
Probably a Yes..given all those billions of planets..
