Space aliens?

Would evidence of space aliens, and perhaps their different senses and technologies, perhaps qualify somehow for the million dollar prize?

If not, is there any similar prize out there for someone that proves the existence of extraterrestrial life?

For the record, I have absolutely no evidence of space aliens, and I am skeptical that anything is out there at all. I'm just curious about this.

I don't know of any prizes specifically for this evidence.

But, I am sure it would be worth alot more than just a million bucks.

Look what the networks paid to air all the Micheal Jackson drivel.

If you really had the goods, it would be worth alot of money.

From the beginning of the application form:
Quote:
I, James Randi, through the JREF, will pay US$1,000,000 to any person who can demonstrate any psychic, supernatural or paranormal ability under satisfactory observing conditions.
From this statement alone, I would conclude that the scenario you present falls outside requirements necessary to qualify for the Million Dollar Challenge.

I am unaware of any organization offering a monetary prize for presentation of such evidence.

Just my 2¢, I'm not attempting to speak on JREF's behalf.

However, I think if you could produce telepathic aliens.... You might be eligible for the Million Dollar price.

He can win that ebay auction for that personalized anti-matter containment chamber, which will allow him to power up his temporal displacement modulator, which will allow him to go back in time about four years, and then party like it's 1999...

Thankew, thankew, I'll be here all week...
