I think our age will at least be recognisable in the geological record by the plastics, pollution and particularly radiation we've added to the environment. These will be recorded in new rock laid down.

Quite, which in my view makes any prior technological civilization on Earth unlikely, as there is no evidence. One of things I remember most about the programme was the speculation around what future archaeologists would make of out of town shopping malls. Would they think them to be sites of religious significance etc.

Despite all of the thousands of reported sightings of UFO's and Aliens,there doesn't seem to be any real substantial proof.Most video's/photo's seem always to be taken from a distance.Why is there never anyone under a UFO. Why has no-one ever taken a photo of a UFO or Alien they say they have been close up to.
Reported sightings from pilots of objects which move at a fantastic speed or move around in an unusal way always seem to come to nothing.
With every device we have to record or detect we still have nothing.

Perhaps - but I don't think any prior civilisation was able to span the entire planet as we do now, if only because the number of humans on the planet was substantially fewer than we see today. The 'trace' evidence would not be there, or at least only in a very small area... unless of course there was an un-recorded population spike in ancient antiquity that was cut short somehow.
The Voyager space probes could be around virtually for ever.

Is the right answer.....................I think. It would take a phenomenally statically unlikely coincidence combined with some spectacular technology and will for two intelligent species to ever have the opportunity to interact.

They could, but would a latter civilisation know to look for them.? Perhaps they'd come back as an envoy for some far off planet of living machines.... perplexed by the carbon units that infest Earth.

So how do you explain Star Trek? Captain Kirk discovered so many new life forms they retired him.

Aliens will find us before we find them. Just hope it’s not the Borg
Unless it's Seven of Nine of course.

Paradoxically, I think it is more likely that one day, if we survive and thrive as a species for long enough (big if), that we'll be able to interact in some way with different versions of ourselves via the multiverse rather than any alien species potentially co-existing somewhere at the same time as us in this version.
I've seen that film. Star Trek.

Thomas Leary was a big advocate of this. He reckoned the human race would make the biggest advances not by looking to the stars but looking inward and exploring our consciousness with the help of lots of drugs.
He's got a point. We went to the moon and it gave us Teflon coated frying pans. Loads of musicians took drugs and that gave us dance music and Withnail and I.
1 nil to chemically induced introspection.

Yes I do. I blame the drugs.

Combining the two subjects of drugs and aliens nicely, a past clubbing acquaintance of mine once tried to convince me that the fact that he woke up one morning with a sore bottom and no memory of what happened over the preceding 8 hours or so was down to his being abducted and probed by aliens. I think we can all think of a much more plausible explanation.
