#3) Yes, there was life on mars, they are also searching for life on Europa (Jupiter's 4th largest moon), which has an atmosphere like ours, and plenty of H2O.
Then why did you mention the Y-formation in the first place? And if there IS life on Io or Europa, then according to you, our Radio Satellites would have found this life by now. Now, if there IS life on a moon of Jupitor (which is in our own solar system), that kinda screws your idea of there being nothing within 90 light years from us (or whatever you said)

#5) If an alien spaceship really crashed in a US desert, why hasn't the government tried to copy the ship in any way shape or form?

#1) Joe, I didn't say the Radio Satilites detect life, they detect radio communication, i.e. radio transmitters.
#2) It is highly doubtful that there's no way they could have copied the "alien" egineering.
#3) Why are you makng this an arguement about if the are aliens or not. I do believe in life outside of our planet, but if they came here already, we would have scanned them already and / or made some sort of meaningful contact with them.
I'm just trying to bring the scientific facts into the conversation, and the main facts are... if they found us, chances are, we found them. And it's not just a government cover-up, because i highly doubt if there were aliens here, only the US would know about it.
OK, now to the hypotheticals.
Lets say, yes... there has been an alien landing here, and it was confirmed by the US Government, ok? The most armed country in the world. Why wouldn't we start making weapons to defend against alien invaders? We've already wasted trillions on "just incase" defense, why not more?
How bout this one, if these aliens are so powerful, and all knowing. They can't be detected, and they move at super speeds, why the hell would they be crashing in the desert?
So the chances that there have been aliens here recently, are very slim. I wish i could give you a scientific estimate... but i honestly don't know. Pretty hard to find info, ya know
But if I were to guess, I'd say, about 1/1,000,000,000 probably higher.
Stranger things have happened against odds, how bout the guy who was struck by lightning 7 times in his life? heh.
Well, hopefully we're done here.
P.S. I do believe aliens could have been on earth before, but the chances are very very slim, considering they haven't made any contact in recorded history, and we haven't detected anything.
