As you might think that Mr. Hawking's statements are somehwat naive, please, for one minute, recognize that he might be stating this relatively simply put opinion, as a warning with more information and understanding backing it.
In other words, they (Stephen Hawkings, Government, etc.) know more than they can say and don't want to scare everyone by coming forward with everything they know but, simple need to get their point across by making brief and simple statements in the media.
On the other hand, we don't seem to have been visited by aliens. I am discounting the reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?
“I suspect there could be life and intelligence out there in forms we can’t conceive,” he said.
“Just as a chimpanzee can’t understand quantum theory, it could be there are aspects of reality that are beyond the capacity of our brains.”

I have noticed the alien talk has been coming up in a number of national TV networks, as well as a lot of state wide radio shows in Colorad, anyways...? Is this a form of disclosure? Who really knows?

We're depending on these very smart people to find other intelligent life outside of our planet, so it's a bit disheartening when one of the lead scientists in the world says we shouldn't be looking for it, when we all know they're out there...

I'd be more excited about Hawking's words if it weren't for the frothing fervor of excitement and "I told you so"s that are already reminding people about why Ufology is considered a joke science to begin with.
Oh, and the "respected" leaders of the community coming out and bashing Hawking's opinions on contact. That'll certainly help.

Who are these "respected" members that you speak of??? Is Hawkings not respected? Now that he's made this claim, has the scientific community shunned him after all of his research and credentials?

Stephen Hawkins has gone off the deep end since as anybody who has researched UFOs knows..THEY..have been here since the beginning of time and if THEY wanted to harm us THEY would have done so a long time ago

Skeptics, please don't start calling Hawking names like you did with Edgar Mitchell.

Again, you accuse me of saying extraterrestrials do not exist. Please provide evidence of this.

Lol, you must define evidence first, there is a lot of people in this word who have big problems trying to understand what evidence is.
Originally posted by DoomsdayRex
For the purposes of this discussion and Matrix's accusations, it should be self-evident what evidence is.
Is it not just me Matrix Rising has made this accusation of. She has accused the entire skeptical community (using skeptic and pseudoskeptic interchangeably) of claiming aliens do not exist. However, it should be clear there is no doubt in the scientific community that we are not alone. Matrix is attacking a caricature that only exists in her mind with no bearing on the real world; she is operating off a script and cannot deviate from that script, refusing to actually address what anyone says or even bothering to listen, all the while accusing others of being "closed-minded" and "pseudoskeptics".
The only true "pseudoskeptic" here is Matrix Rising.

Keep in mind too that Hawkins' opinions are but one man's view. He is not the only 'intelligent' man around. There are far more distinguish than him.
It is condescending and an insult to humanity, if not for the hundreds of other credible UFO investigators researching and informing the public on the UFO phenomena for decades!
He only threw this crumb and joined the bandwagon due to the pressure and effects of such men who had been pushing for disclosure.
But even that crumb would not be necessary, for there is more than meets the eye in the comming months as scientists and fellow humnas who have more intergrity than the likes of him will be forthcoming to share their experiences, and in that flood, the elected representatives will have to do something.

Keep in mind that, while the debate has moved from "are we being visited" to "should we hope to be visited", the point still stands that there's no proof that we have.

The main problem with this debate is that the proof has been hidden from us by our own government leaders and TPTB.
The fact that WE do not have access to the evidence does not mean that the evidence proving existence and interaction does not exist. It just means that our limited, Earthly, 3-dimensional, simpleton science cannot prove it exists in a manner that our Earthly, human minds and bodies can experience to perceive.
For example: Just because the U.S. Federal Reserve DOES exist in a building does NOT mean that there is gold in those buildings backing up the U.S. dollar. We are told by TPTB that is DOES exist, therefore we are accepting the word of what we are being told by those in control. The same thing applies in reverse to Extra Terrestrials. TPTB tell us that E.T.'s do NOT exist and there is no proof of their existence, therefore we must believe what we are told by those in control.
It's all a system of control and Stephen Hawking saying "Aliens exist but we should fear them" is TPTB using this same system to control us through fear. This is all just part of a larger agenda to control us through fear to beg for the NWO to be put into place.
WHEN the E.T.'s make themselves known to the world, they will react in kind to how WE react to the exposure of their existence. React with violence and they will be violent. React with light & love and they will too. Act with caution and reservation and they will too. IF the E.T.'s are not violent, then there will be no need for our govt to retaliate and cause the planet's humans to beg for slavery under the NWO.

Enough of these BS calls for 'proofs' based upon your own stubborness to accept reality.
What do you want me to do? Shoot down one of these crafts, courier it to your doorstep? Then what? Would you know what to do with it? Then what? You gonna call your mom over in person to see it because she aint gonna believe you over the phone? Then what? Get cam and start rolling, and then others telling you it is CGI? I can go on and on, but you'll get the point if you are not that thickheaded.
The millions of UFO witnesses can only report what they saw, and it would be up to the authorities who are in charge of our nation's soveriegnity and air space, as well as investigating abduction cases to do their job right and bring evidence to light.
But for 50 years, they had neglected their duties, either out of wilful ignorance or tacit cooperation with the owners of UFO to hide the truth from humanity. One may lie, but million others cannot process the same hallucinations. Truths can be manipulated but REALITY cannot be twisted. Deny Ignorance!
