Alien Argument on Anatomy

[J2x4]

I want to hear your guys' thoughts on this. I was recently thinking about aliens and their hoaxes sightings and such, and what I thought was that the images of so-called "aliens" that people encounter or have seen throughout time of recorded sightings (I would say most of them?) all the aliens have similar anatomy to humans. Heads with two eyes, neck(?), legs, arms etc. and to me this either can support aliens or dismiss them visiting Earth because people who have supposedly came across them could have just imagined them this way, subconsciously making them look like us using their only knowledge of what any current known intelligent life looks like. Or they look like us for other reasons such as they came from us somehow. I mean wouldn't they develop and evolve in a different way? Your thoughts please.

Aliens would be on a different planet with different atmospheres and gravitational pulls. The cliché alien, IMO, is bull shit. Aliens - extraterrestrial life, on the other hand, is completely plausible. Though, intelligent extraterrestrial life, very unlikely.
Bacteria or the alien equivalent of insects at most. What would their source of humans oxygen equivalent be? Do they have lungs, a heart to pump 'blood' around, kidneys, liver, bladders, a brain, etc. Do they have muscles to enable them to move? If so, how are they to work? They'd have to be made of a completely different molecular structure to live without oxygen.

All these aliens I've seen in movies look like complete bullshit. They usually have two eyes, a head, limbs, muscles, etc. They look way too similar to humans, and I just don't think life can only be adapted to conditions similar to the ones on earth. People just really don't think outside the box when it comes to "life", or what we think "life" even is.

In short, they look like aliens from 1950s films, complete with flying saucers. It's rubbish.

I agree with you guys but with what has been said I want to know if you think this is a good argument for saying that all the sightings etc. really are fake and made up.

Unless aliens live among us and always have, then they wouldn't be extraterrestrial life.. Merely another animal of sorts. So yes, I say all UFO sightings are bullshit. Notice how its only once in a blue moon that 1 person claims to have seen one? Never does an entire town speak up about it, and how it rarely, if ever, happens anywhere BUT America.

Yeah, true. Now I just have to figure out about the UFOs and such that are in old ass paintings and stories.

Notice how the pictures are blurry?
I read this book when I visited New Zealand, and it had all these pictures of fleets of UFO's approaching Earth and it turned out to be a swarm of Bees blurred =P

And then we reached the era of Photoshop, enabling people to create old style pictures and claiming they were taken in the 60's =]
