Do you beleive in Project Serpo?

Basically an assertion that the US had an exchange program with an alien civilization that lives 37 light years away in Zeta Reticuli.

Big Foot is only slightly more probable (and the odds Big Foot is real is like 1:15,000).  It's laughable.  The amount of people that would be required to keep something like this quiet is ridiculously high.  You'd be hard pressed to have 10 men keep a secret that big, much less a few thousand.  Some people will believe anything if they want to believe it bad enough and there will always be people around willing to sell them books and movies.

Sounds...interesting to say the least but it doesn't exactly sound plausible. Looked on wikipedia and it said one of the webmasters had admitted that at least some of the stuff on the website wasn't true. Generally I agree with dead0man, although it is possible - though not a common occurrence - for a very large group of people to keep something quiet - Bletchley Park is a prime example.

I am pretty sure it doesn't exist. A secret this important can only be kept by like 150 people, not enough people for this sort of conspiracy.

Although, what's interesting is that we will soon have the Kepler mission online. With this mission, it could be possible to find some alien planets that are in our star cluster.

I should point out that while I don't think we've ever been "visited", I have little doubt that we are not alone in the universe.  It's just too big.  We're either really really special (which to me would indicate a higher power) or there is tons of life out there.  Carl Sagan changed my life*.
