Highly likely but there won't be any traces left.
If you look at it in detail at the very basis of all biological replication is RNA.
RNA though while very good at producing copies of itself is also quite instable and breaks down easily.
Traces only persist since RNA accidentally managed to produce DNA analogues and those stumbled across a recipe to create cell walls around themselves which further protect it.
RNA and DNA are naturally occurring and the primary carriers of genetic information. Now add in some amino acids and you have everything needed for life.
I think it was in the 60s when somebody recreated the conditions of early Earth in a glass bottle. To his surprise within two weeks complex amino acids had formed which when produced with an aim to create some specific ones on purpose was quite difficult but once you extrapolate from a single small bottle and 14 days to the entire planet and say a few million years it is practically inevitable that the ones necessary for life as we know are amongst them in abundance.
The first one managing to build a cell wall to protect itself would very quickly outcompete the others and swiftly take over.
But then of course you have the problem of getting from single cells to multicellular life and that is a really bottleneck because somehow the individual cells need to be stopped from acting in their own 'self-interest' ie under certain circumstances to commit suicide for the multicellular life form to survive rather than just replicate which comes naturally to them.
Cancer is an excellent example for what happens if these controls break down, a cell does not destroy itself and reverts to type.
Which is why I think that if we ever were to find life on another planet it is most likely going to nothing more than single cell organisms.
Thank you Charles. And then there's the mitochondria story..........we desperately don't want to be alone, but probably are I think.
But at the same time, Dr. Ian Malcolm posits that chaos theory would dictate that small changes in complex systems can have big, unpredictable effects.
Maybe we end up bringing back to Earth a wolf in sheep's clothing?
Mercury
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Which other planet in our solar system do you think has a higher form of life than Earth?
I meant to say Universe... my bad. Sometimes I make mistakes, eh?
That should open up the possibilities, no?
i figure the craft i saw was 30-40 feet in diameter, like my boat. as far as i know it was not reported on in the local media.
nothing serious in this thread so im out. i dont care if you dont believe me.
Mitochondria evolved later. Prokaryotes, simple single cell lifeforms ie bacteria and archaea, do not have them.
This is Captain Obvious commenting about the huge distances involved between different solar systems with planets. The nearest star is Alpha Centauri, if I remember well, and this is FOUR LIGHTYEARS away! Since, a lightyear is quite a little more than a mile, it seems it is logically impossible to travel such distances. This limitation also applies to space probes. To complicate matters even more, the undisputedly unique genius of Albert Einstein, predicted that the speed of light is the ultimate winner of all speed records. No one can ever travel faster than that, as travelling at the speed of light would amount to a non-zero mass to possess an INFINITE amount of kinetic energy, and this energy has to be produced by engines with a finite power and a nice collection of engineering challenges/problems.
We can dream of ever succeeding to penetrate deep space, but this, will "happen" when not even the dust of my bones will exist.

The ID (inter-dimensional) hypothesis posits that the phenomenon is a control system guided by non-human intelligences that have been here for eons and is able to transverse dimensions.
No space travel required.

Why are there so many different UFOs? You think there are dozens of different alien races visiting us right now. Space and time are too large.
Because the observer did not know what he/she has seen. Hence the first letter of the acronym - unidentified. Could be little green men or strange meteorological phenomena - guess which one has more probability.
Not in the strictest sense, no.
Jacques Vallee is the one who’s turnabout from the ETH to the IDH made waves in the 70s.
The work of Fortean researcher John Keel is noted as promoting a similar theory years prior to Vallee.
Actually, we do have the capability...to rule it out. And if there is we will forever remain isolated and never confirm it since as time passes the impossibility continues to increase exponentially. We have the knowledge to arrive at this inevitable conclusion.A valid perspective, yes. Whether or not that proves to be the correct perspective remains to be seen. We don't yet know which perspective is correct simply because we don't yet have the technical capability to find out. Therefore, in the meanwhile, it is human arrogance and vanity to deny the possibility of life elsewhere, and quite possibly on a nearby planet.
I am by no means a crusader in this regard. All we have to do is the math.
“Mr. President, I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens....it would be quite easy...heh....heh...heh....”You obviously cannot handle the truth.
😀
Oh, it was also posted in the current Pass Labs thread about the upcoming project utilizing the Tokin SITs. I thought you were extending the humor from that thread. It was suggested Nelson was warehousing untold SITs. 🙂That's the ending scene of a movie Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
Perhaps, there are. Didn't an outgoing Israeli defense chief recently say that there is something akin to a Federation of Planets (yes, like in Star Trek), and that aliens from there were very concerned that humanity was not prepared for disclosure and would panic? Which, I also suspect would happen.
The weirdest reports seem to be the ones not involving what we would recognize as a vehicle. It's reports such as the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident in the U.K., where there were traditional UFO vehicles, and also what was described as phenomena appearing like an glowing red/orange object resembling an eye, hovering just above the forest floor. Dripping of what appeared to be molten steel - probably said for lack of better descriptors. More recently, one the Navy sightings was described as a transparent sphere, a meter or two in diameter, with a cube inside it like some flying beachball, just tooling around the sky and toying with the Navy jets. Zooming past them within a few meters, at high velocity. No sign of occupants, flight surfaces, propulsion, or any other machinery as we know it. Bizarre, doesn't begin to describe either of these incidents.

Could be. A psyops operation would certainly be far less fantastic. Any one of such fantastic UFO stories is easy to dismiss by itself. It's the multiple similar stories, across time, which make that harder to simply do.
What would say was the purpose of the psyops?
