I have a somewhat belief in them, and i have my own understanding of things. But limit kid, ease up when people make a few jokes, besides, maybe outer space species do have different ways of sound production, and reproduction... after all, there is more then one way to do something, with different results, benefits, flaws, and reprecussions.
And anyways, when did aliens become so mystic and magical, after all the definition for alien is
- An unnaturalized foreign resident of a country. Also called noncitizen.
- A person from another and very different family, people, or place.
- A person who is not included in a group; an outsider.
- A creature from outer space: science fiction about an invasion of aliens.
- Ecology. An organism, especially a plant or animal, that occurs in or is naturalized in a region to which it is not native.

The english were aliens to the natives of north america, rabbits were aliens when they were introduced to australlias habitat, japanese is an alien language to me.
What do i think aliens are?
Well, I dont think they are anything we can take from any movies we have had of them, nor will we know unless they show up and we some how figure it out. Their language could be any system of clicks, pauses, tones, loudness, or, it could be a speechless language... Many animals communicate through releasing chemicals and having another animal of their species respond to the smell of those chemicals. Why stop at that form of communication, after all, your computer communicates with other systems and responds by displaying information so that you can send information that will be converted back to information that can be sent back to the system, so that other computers can access this information and display it to its owner.
Which makes you wonder about quite a few things, but to answer one question that i think no one has said directly yet, is, why havent these outer space aliens come down to earth and attemted to communicate with us yet? Well, i know one answer that would make me not want to come down to this planet and communicate with you guys (lol), if you were to consider our history, then it might just stick out to you like a telephone pole in a hay stack.
WE CANT EVEN GET ALONG WITH OURSELVES. WE KILL OUR OWN SPECIES IF SOMEONE HAS A DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING THINGS. HOW THE **** ARE WE GOING TO RESPOND TO A FEW ALIEN SPECIES THAT COME DOWN IN AN UNEXPLAINABLE FLYING SHIP THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH US!
Just let your mind slip from the boundaries which hold it.
