What about Oxygen?

This is sort of a silly question, but I was wondering if these UFOs, which are alien craft, have oxygen tanks or atmospheric generators on board? Or do they get to their destination so quickly that there's enough breathable air trapped inside for the short duration? I'm guessing they would have to have some form of air carried along just in case. What do you ladies and gentlemen think?

Assuming that they breath oxygen.
I wondered about humans that have been abducted. If they take them into space they must have to have some way to supply them with oxygen.

lately im starting to believe these ufos are not manned and these "greys" are biological robots.

I am beginning to agree with you. I believe that there are a lot of people on ATS and the web in general that believe that UFOs are unoccupied. There are also a lot of people that believe that the occupied UFOs are on their way or have just recently arrived.

I agree, makes sense. The tall ones are always in control of them.

Thats correct, or they just somehow cloak the ship in a field or mountain somewhere while they do the deed

Only a fraction of these craft contain a self sustained atmosphere. A majority of the craft are either "unmanned", or manned by bio-engineered robotic drones. These drones do require a similar atmosphere to humans, but they sustain that need internally through robotic implants. Additionally, out of 3 races with an active presence in the Sol System, only one shares a similar atmosphere to humans. The other two do not need it to breath, but do maintain a supply for different functions.

I believe there are unmanned, and manned craft.

regarding oxygen, simple, just bring some plants onboard.

the biological robot theory is intriguing and makes a lot of sense. like how we explore mars, if possible, why take any chances. further more, we can imagine the bots relay all sensical signal to the host back at home planet, so the host can have a near reality experience of the visit without having to physically be there and take any risks.

And 80% of UFO's are simply plasma 'critters' When the rest of the world finally figures that out it will be amusing

who knows....the periodic table of elements only represents elements that are known to us....there could be hundreds of other elements that we dont know about that others beings need to function... assuming that they do breath oxygen i belive that having the abilty to travel thought time and space they would have the issue of ocygen easily handled

Basing ones assumptions about UFO on our limited grasp of biology , and physics has always been, and will forever remain, a deeply flawed starting point for our thoughts about them.
We simply do not have enough knowlege of what is physicaly possible , what if any biological processes might be required by a race outside our understanding , in order to make even the barest assumption without some strong evidence, physical hard evidence. For all we know , the races which might inhabit such vehicles might be vacuum breathers, or exist by the decay of isotopes within thier bodies. Then again thier vehicles could be adapted to collect mineral deposits from clouds of broken asteroids and break them down by way of a chemical process which would release atmospheric gases, replenishing the ships supply, or by skimming atmospheres in order to directly aquire the gases required for the travelers to breathe.

To answer the question " What about Oxygen?" I can say only this. There is no reason to suspect that oxygen would be as much use to a hypothetical alien species, as it would be to us. We already know of species on our own planet which do not require oxygen, they are microbes of course, but this is surely evidence that life itself has not finished suprising us with its diversity on our own planet. Imagine therefore the sheer scale of the universe and really ask yourself "Why do I assume anything? Is it because I am right to do so, or because my mind is too feeble to imagine the great depths of the cosmos, or for that matter, what may live in its fathomless heart?" That is not a dig at anyone, it is just my way of trying to remind people who ask these questions, that our frame of reference is far too limited to make assumptions, and that we should stop assuming all together.

Awsome post

Maybe they live on earth?
There have been countless sightings of supposed ufos coming out of the sea and for that matter even exiting from mountains.
Maybe they never developed in aerobic conditions so have never needed to metabolize oxygen.

Well they are always in the air so air ducts might be helpful.
Same goes for the engines in the engine room for combustion engines.
Unless we want to promote one of those Helium Papp engines.
I figure electrical vacuum ducting using the one way flow tubing of Tesla
for a sophisticated advanced airflow system using the electricity on board.
But right about in flight speed.
In hover all the air flow is normal.
The airflow is most likely stopped and crew and engine run on stored oxygen.
And as you say 300 miles per second gets you places within a few
breaths of air.
