Aliens! (Not the illegal kind)

So we've talked about other childhood interests here
But along with Greek Myths and Dinosaurs
Who else had a kick about UFO stories?
Reading about Area 51 and Project:Bluebook
Absolutely believing the ludicrous first hand accounts of abductions
Though I made this partly from nostalgia
We can also talk about more sober modern day enthusiasm for life on other planets
Like Martian Bacteria
Isn't Martian Bacteria awesome!

    i hope we never find other intelligent life

    because we'd probably eventually try to kill them and get fucked

    and it would be creepy as shit

    unintelligent life is alright though, cool as shit

    speaking of which a NASA spacecraft is gonna land on Mars sunday and search for signs of life in the arctic

    I used to be obsessed with Alien folklore when I was younger. It's still pretty interesting.

    I can't take it seriously like I used to, though.

    I also always used to watch Unsolved Mysteries religiously. Of course, after watching it, I'd never be able to sleep.

    It would chill me to my bones.

    I had a teacher in high school who was obsessed with Area 51 and the Kennedy assassination

    He's turn the lights off and sit with us in the dark and impart to us the vast knowledge he'd stored in his head from years of fascinated research

    In grade 7, I did an oral presentation about the fake moon landing.

    It was pretty rad.

    I was pedalling misinformation from a very young age.

    it is pretty fuckin awesome
    About how they might have evolved and stuff?

    Seriously though, Alien was on HBO or something yesterday and I watched the shit out of.

    Its one of those movies that just draws you in with the story and detail and then before you know it its 2 hours later and you're terrified.

    Aliens was on today, which is just a completely different type of awesome.

    I remember this special on network television about aliens
    They did a similar one about ghosts
    In both they had a hotline to call if you had an experience
    I loved how for the alien one, the announcer said
    "Call this number if you have personally had a close encounter of the third kind
    NOT IF YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE"

    I used to be convinced that my friend's house was haunted. At night you'd think hear strange whispering while walking up a huge creaky set of stairs.

    Of course, I look back now, and remember that it was really windy outside and lots of leaves were blowing around.

    There were two different documentaries on alien worlds

    One was called Alien Planet, and I think it was on Discovery

    The other was called something like Extraterrestrial Expedition or somesuch and was on National Geographic

    They were both pretty good, and took different approaches to what might be out there

    I still remember one of them had some very nice designs for primitive intelligent life, like weird giant floating squids crossed with fungus or something. I remember thinking "wow, that actually looks pretty alien, nice job documentary guys"

    I used to be all about alien abductions and visitations.

    I'm not really too convinced about it now, but some of the stuff I've heard about the USS FDR in the 50's makes me believe there is something going on that we still don't know about.

    You guys remember that episode of House

    where the kid thinks he's being abducted and has a tracking bug in his neck

    and then they find that piece of metal in his neck and House is all "The lab says the metals are non-terrestrial"

    and everyone is like "really?" and he's like "no stupid it's titanium".

    House is so cool.
