There's no such thing as aliens. What is the likelihood of mankind creating this kind of technology? If it were piloted, not high. The rate of accelaration would be too extreme for a human passenger. That leaves a few options. 1. It's a hoax or elaborate lighting system. 2. It was unpiloted human technology or 3. Spiritual occurence. It'll be interesting to see what sort of answers the boffins come up with.

I disagree, I can't believe for a second God made this vast universe and left it empty.
But as for the video? I doubt it was aliens, well maybe the Goa'uld.

I love how the small little world that people live in is so quickly defined by what they "know" when we all know so little. (And I'm not even talking about the alien comment)
It makes me want to break out singing the old song "It's a small world after all" but with a brand new meaning.
It was the vast knowledge of mankind that led him to believe we lived on a flat earth and that rats came from old rags. And yet each generation thinks that we are the ones who finally know all parameters necessary to draw large and final conclusions.
Mankind, mankind... you never change.

Ah, fire falling on the Dome of the Rock Temple Mount--God is confirming His message again!

The Earth as seen from 3.7 billion miles away.
Quote:
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
Carl Sagan
