What would you all do if Other beings came to our planet tomorrow. Just showed up in the sky a few of them and finally proved the really are other beings in the universe.

Hard to say if we've been visited or not because most every sighting seems to have a logical counter arguement. We really cannot fathom why aliens may visit Earth or how. The reality is we know very little about the universe and how things work even though we learn more every year. Why we could have been or are visited may not be understood by us. Maybe it's for scientific purposes or they are simply passing through like extraterrestrial sightseers.
If we're to believe ancient history there are claims of beings from the stars then too. Hopefully if we were going to be conquered the fact we weren't when civilization was in its infancy is a good sign. At any rate if something is out there I hope we find out within my liftetime.

Perhaps you mean you know very little about the universe? This argument comes up often in pseudoscientific discussions relating to phenomenon that can't be readily explained (e.g. people who believe there are ghosts, etc.). People in support of these claims always try to relegate scientific understanding to a rudimentary status in order to breed support for their aberrant ideas.

I was watching "Unexplained Mysteries" on TV, and then I looked up in this forum to see if anyone had written anything about crop circles. This is the closes thread I have seen to deal wit it, but nobody has tried to explain the crop circles. What are some likely causes? Are they just pranks?

I'd consider myself a fool to think that out of all the planets in all the galaxies, that only our planet has intelligent life IMO :)

Some of the crop circles they get in England are pretty fantastic. Huge, crazy patterns.

Do I believe that there are flying objects that have not been identified? Sure.
Do I believe that there are aliens somewhere? I think it's possible.
Do I believe that aliens are visiting Earth? No.
