I know what your thinking: If Only The Pitt had had this many options...

Lol, your crazy! XD

I "The Warp of the West" your poll.

You mean to make a miracle of peace out of an inevitable discussion that could have (in some parrellel universes) needed heavy moderation?
Your awesome.

Y-E-S... and then some.

It's canon.

Aliens have been around in the FO universe, so why wouldn't this be canon?

Of course it is. I am just curious whether the fans hold the same opinion if it is canon or not as Beth does...

It's canon, both in my opinion and because Bethesda has the word-of-god when it comes to what is/isn't canon.

Bethesda owns the FO franchise. What's cannon and what isn't is their choice. DLC 6: Super Mutant Zombie Dinosaur Squad Go!

Whats a large artillery piece or not?

Sorry sorry I couldnt help myself.

I like the voted for obama (once) vs voted for obama (acorn)

This.

No idea. I'll wait for the next Fallout game to see.

As long as it doesnt mean...

"You escaped from a vault, filled with aliens!"

"You disarmed an alien bomb!"

"You found the source and stopped the alien fire ants!"

"You fixed an alien radio station!"

"You went into an alien simulation with an evil alien doctor!"

"You started an alien purifier!"

"You killed aliens on an alien ship in alien space with alien guns with alien ammo!!!111!!"

All of those happened in Fallout 3 and its DLC except for the last one.

I voted 'That's Confidential.' But seriously, Aliens are already in the fallout universe, I.E. Hypo, Alien blaster, etc.

those hypo are awesome...too bad there are only a few of em.
.
they came from an easter egg from star trek though,
.
on the bottom floor of the sierra army depot there is a corpse of an alien that looks just like the mzdlc. it apparently died while using psycho and reading cat's paw as I recall since these are found lying next to it.

The Hypo is actually from a crashed Star Trek shuttle special encounter. Are the United Federation of Planets and the TARDIS part of the Fallout universe?

Who said anything about TARDIS? (excuse my pun)

Yeah, but you get what I'm saying.

They could have crossed over through a wormhole into the Fallout universe.

I'm not serious of course, but that stuff does happen in fiction all the time.

Like that Terminator/ Robocop crossover comics in the '80s?

I voted probably. Why?

Bethesda has the ultimate say in what is and is not canon- however, it's been shown in the past that Bethesda doesn't make decisions in a vacuum; if anything they released is, without a doubt, elicts a negative player reaction, they'll make an attempt to correct it in the future. Thus, if Mothership Zeta proves to be widely unpopular with the fans, then Bethesda at a later date will make the effort to not mention aliens again, putting it in the Limbo of "is it canon?" Of course, this is if they decide not to come out and say it's not canon.

As for the TARDIS/Federation of Planets; tell me, can you point to a single peice of pop culture that has something called the Alien Blaster? Or something that looks exactly like it? Probably not; unlike the TARDIS/Federation of Planets, there's no real singe peice of pop culture that uses it, instead it's spread across seperate works of sci-fi dating to the pre-moon landing era when Outer Space was the big unknown (trust me, we now know far more about Space than we do the Earth's Oceans... More people have walked on the moon than dove to the deepest depths of the ocean.)

But we do know that the deep contains life. We still don't know for sure whether Space (other worlds) does or not.

I think it's logical to say that it would be highly improbable for there to be no life in the universe besides on earth.

The Fallout Universe has life beyond earth and its a good thing too since we blew it all up.
.
As to the logic of this...noting Enduring Protectron's interestingly worded thesis:
.
When I was a very small child one of my earliest logical conclusions was that since there was a kid in my own home (myself) there must be children in the other houses I could see from my livingroom window. When I got a couple years older it turned out I had made a correct presumption.
