Woman, named 'Jackie', called in to US radio station, Coast to Coast AM

Jackie said she was downloading telemetry from a Nasa Viking Lander

She claims that's when she saw two humans walking on Martian surface

According to Jackie, six other Nasa employees witnessed the same thing

Conspiracy theorists say this is evidence of a 'secret space programme'

Nice mention of the Fermi Paradox.

[MattyP]

I have a love/hate relationship with the Fermi paradox. I'm comforted by the fact Noone has visited us yet but it also scares the bejeezus out of me that we maybe alone. Scary stuff

[The Gonz]

Yep, the more I travel the smaller the world gets and the lonelier I feel.

With the vastness of space and the infinite number of other planets and solar systems I don't think you have to be scared...

There would have to be other life forms out there.. Whether we will ever interact with them is a different matter! 

[Phil №❶]

Statistically, there has to be life out there.

I'm not so sure we haven't been visited before, because there seems to be quite a gap between archaic achievement and present day achievements.

I'd be more worried about how we would interact with other civilizations, than simply being alone in the universe.

Blame it on the Prime Directive. It'll all be good once we hit warp drive.

Since the nearest star is a THOUSAND years away (and that is within our own Milky way Galaxy.   And the nearest Galaxy is millions of years away I don't think we need worry, do you.    From the far Galaxies life may have evolved and they maybe on there way, if they left several million years ago they won't even be half way here yet.

PLEASE do not start talking crap about worm holes and time travel or I will have to increase your anti psychotic medication

Can we mention warp drives 

[FatBoy]

Can we mention warp drives 

She can nae give any more, Jim.

[asathorny]

Can we mention warp drives 

Course ya can Phil

I am sure I have mentioned it before, but I have personally witnessed a documented UFO sighting.
I have also read first hand accounts of an encounter by two police officers in the south-west of Western Australia a few decades ago.
I do not believe we are alone.

[Dazzler]

If they have long legs and short skirts I'm quite looking forward to them coming! 

Hopefully they don't have a religion that wants to kill everybody though!

I do not believe we are alone.

You are not wrong there.

Just look how many friends you have on this forum .....

Alpha Centauri is 4.2 light years away. Not quite a thousand.
But I get your point.

Examine the Fermi Paradox closely and the skies should be full of encounters.
