It's something i don't see much point in speculating about. If aliens are about to take over, we'll know soon enough. pam

needlesandpins -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (12/22/2011 3:02:52 PM)
it's human vanity that thinks we are the only ones in the whole of the universe, and that if not whatever life there is couldn't possibly be more advanced than us. some of the things the collective 'we' sees is just us testing out secret stuff as we always have done. some of it is natural occurance, some of it is hoax, but to me it stands to reason that some of it could well be truely alien. i'm sceptical by what i see, but i am a believer of life elsewhere. all i know for sure is that a friend and i saw something years ago that stopped us mid conversation and stride. both of us were looking at the sky at a huge light that had just appeared there. it was a clear day so not a reflection on the clouds and it disappeared in a blink of an eye moving at incredible speed. we looked at each other in amazement to make sure the other had seen the same thing. there are things on this planet from thousands of years ago that i find a little hard to compute for the intellect at the time. there is nothing to say that aliens haven't already been here and gone. all i know is; when they finally build the lighthuggers i want to be on one cumming as i watch the earth get smaller. sadly i doubt it will happen in my lifetime unless we stop pouring money into stupid bloody wars amongst ourselves. needles

Human vanity? Isn't that what earthlings call an oxymoron?

to Azonier, no, humans are extremely vain to assume that no other living thing could exist in the universe, or that if it does it can't possibly be intelligent enough to get here when we haven't got past our own bloody moon yet. IF we have even done that. there is the belief in some that if 'we' can't do it, nothing else can because 'we' are the most intelligent life form there is. vanity is extremely narrow minded. Moonhead, i said exactly what i meant. i do think that one day we will have space craft that travel at or damn near the speed of light. we may come up with it ourselves or it maybe stolen technology. be pedantic and say when when you are typing what you think about stuff so you can cover all bases, i'll say what i like when i'm typing. afteral, i think i know better what i think than you do. cheers needles

Moonhead -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (12/22/2011 4:18:10 PM)
Okay: There is no way in Hell any government on this Earth is going to piss away the money developing a spacecraft that can get up to a significant fraction of the speed of light in your lifetime, and whatever Robert Anson Heinlein and his brood of imitators since spend their careers arguing, private enterprise couldn't afford that if they wanted to. It's government or nothing, and not even China has that sort of money. Interstellar ships might be theoretically possible, but they're impossible in practical terms, and are likely to remain so for a long time yet. Clear enough what I'm getting at here?

needlesandpins -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (12/22/2011 4:33:33 PM)
i did say i seriously doubt that it will happen in my lifetime. however, dispite what you say from the practical side of things, the imaginative side of me likes to think that when it happens, for i do believe it will happen eventually, that i would be on it. there is a difference. so i will continue to say when, thanks all the same, dispite it probably not being in my lifetime. one lives in hope that thinks may change. if aliens do come here anytime soon you can bet your arse there'll be money from somewhere to replicate whatever technology got them here. needles

Moonhead -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (12/22/2011 4:44:38 PM)
Fair enough: I thought you were saying you expected it to happen during your lifetime from the comment about watching the earth shrink in time to your orgasm. Mea culpa. (As for reverse engineering alien technology, I wouldn't put too much hope in that one: the cargo cultists never managed to build their own transport planes after the war ended, did they? I'd suspect that one would work out a lot more like Roadside Picnic than The High Crusade. I'm buggered if I can think of single example of contact with a superior civilisation in recorded history that wasn't one of the worst things that ever happened to the contactees...)

needlesandpins -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (12/22/2011 4:58:51 PM)
seriously, my coment was said very much tongue in cheek. i really don't care about how or when it's done. my reference to 'lighthugger' comes from alastair reynolds' books. he also has a subsection of humans called conjoiners, i could go for their technology too. blar blar. his books have very real science in there, as does iain m banks. when it all happens, i want to be there lol needles

Moonhead -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (12/22/2011 5:04:04 PM)
I thought I'd read the term somewhere. Reynolds does have a day job at the ESA, so he knows a bit more about that stuff than most hard sf writers, but he's still fiddled some of the science a bit. (Though not half as much as Larry Niven and his peers and imitators tend to.) That said, I do love the fact that there's a fullblown space opera series with no FTL travel in it...

FrostedFlake -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (4/20/2012 2:13:33 AM)
Had a talk with my little brother. Got me thinking. That got me poking around. That made me change my view. This is what I sent my brother this evening. ===================================================================== Kevin. Re our coversation at our last meeting. You know, regarding do I think there are ufos. Since my attention was drawn in that direction and I now have decent internet access, I looked to see what I can see. I can see enough. The key data is at minute 21:30 in this documentary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mia70txRLXc Dr. "High Neck" (longtime Air Force science consultant) explains why the policy of desembling and denial was adopted. In a nutshell, to keep military communication lines clear. Always a laudible purpose. Can't have our military distracted by reports of what is going on. They have important things to destroy. You know, people. And flying saucers. http://www.allmystery.de/dateien/uf47782,1227531655,sts48uv9.jpg http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5007681655624638451 http://www.vgl.org/webfiles/STS-48/trajectories/article.htm http://www.scientificexploration.org/journal/jse_09_1_carlotto.pdf Naturally, I find Dr. High Necks' explanation self serving. The policy of ridicule and secrecy makes it easier for a certian clique to gain advantage in studying alien technology. Annnnd... it's his clique. I also do not fail to notice the risks associated with shooting at a technological superior who has not (yet) demonstrated hostility. Nor fail to note that the primary beneficiaries of both the pass and fail aspects of running those risks are the same people. The same clique. Interestingly, Dr. High Neck has changed his tune. http://aeroespacio.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/as12-48-7071hr.jpg Zoom to the astronaughts shield. What is that very interesting object reflected there? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkNfNUJl6dI Advance to 13;40 and let it roll. Pay particular attention to Dr. Ed Mitchell interview at 14:40. Mitchell Piloted Apollo 14 Lunar Module. At the 22 minute mark the editor cannot resist the urge, and the imagry becomes difficult to follow. Useless for my purposes. At that point, please roll this video instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQqCjTEWz78 Sorry about the soundtrack. Then there is this. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS13-61-8865 And this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=Xyx-ishUVuo It seems no matter where NASA points a camera, there one is. Naturally, people being what they are, most ufos are actually misidentifyed rather than unidentified in the pure sense. And some are downright fradulent. For example, I am certian that you can identify this object, photographed in Nashville in 1989. http://www.allmystery.de/dateien/uf47782,1227531655,nashville5br3.jpg ( for those who don't know, here you go. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/Y_Space-Needle-at-Night.jpg ) That should explain my focus on NASA photos and footage. NASA is not going to make fake ufo reports, because NASA does not report ufos. For example, if you will advance the STS-48 post mission press conference to 19:10 and listen carefully, you will hear no-one ask, "What the hell's THAT !?!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG9XuTxCOTw Naturally, I do not intend to cover everything. Just dropping a note to say, "Hmmmm..." Hope you feel good. ============================================= Note to admin. I figured, "What the fuck.".

Kirata -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (4/20/2012 3:53:35 AM)
There is no doubt that this phenomena has for a long time been regarded as real and of concern to our intelligence agencies and military services. At this time, the reports of incidents convince us that there is something going on that must have immediate attention.... Sightings of unexplained objects at great altitudes and travelling at high speeds in the vicinity of major U.S. defense installations are of such nature that they are not attributable to natural phenomena or known types of aerial vehicles. ~Memorandum from H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, to Director, Central Intelligence, 1952 Incidents of grave concern have included the disabling of strategic missles coincident with anomalous arial objects hoving over their installations.

hardcybermaster -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (4/20/2012 4:32:18 AM)
lets say for a minute that there are aliens out there and they are here either on or near earth. Don't believe it myself but lets just say they're here. What the fuck are they doing? To get here from wherever they were they must be so far in advance of where we are that their tech would probably be unrecognisable to us. So if they wanted to come along and say hi, why haven't they done it? If they wanted to observe us I am sure they could do it without us having the slightest clue they are there. But they haven't chosen either of those routes, they have chosen to fuck about now and again in our atmosphere, where they are half seen or glimpsed through some cloud in a way that no one can agree if they are there or not, and they have been doing it for 100's of years. Why? Why would that be their choice? To see how we might react? Well they have had loads of time to work that out haven't they? they are not fucking here and it's all paranoid bullshit.

quote: ORIGINAL: Kirata Another link for those interested: Richard Dolan: Amsterdam 2011 Oh deary, deary me, and there I was wondering why you sometimes cited conspiracist sources a while back, defended Termy when he was spouting about the Protocols, etc... quote: There can be no doubt that Richard Dolan has made and continues to make a contribution to the field of Ufology, even if his fans are as credulous as he is. His volumes are must reading for anyone who considers him or herself conversant in the field. He has managed to compile a great amount of material, largely researched and/or popularized originally by others, in more or less chronological order, into a consolidated history of the UFO phenomenon. In other words, he is not so much a researcher as he is a compiler of others’research efforts, most all of them popular treatments of the subject. His reputation as a meticulous researcher is overstated by others who have not realizedthat footnotes do not make a researcher. He is at heart, a conspiracy theorist who believes conspiracy is at the heart of nearly everything important that has happened in the 20th and 21stcenturies. Whether it is CIA mind control that caused the Jonestown massacre, the staged 9/11 attacks, or the assassination of John F. Kennedy as a result of Kennedy wanting to spill the beans on UFOs (not to mention Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen), it remains the work of vast unseen power elites in perfect coordination who secretly rule the world and have in mind one world government and a New World Order, all at the expense of humanity. UFOs and aliens may have been the catalyst that startedall this, but they are incidental to the story of conspiracy itself. Reptilians from another parallel dimension would work just as well. Dolan doesn’t seem to care one way or another. For those who just love this sort of talk and who are convinced of this reality (and there are many of them), Dolan will continue to be the cult hero he is, basking in the glow of adoration, flitting from conference to conference with his General Systems Conspiracy Theory of Everything. Others will see him as a one trick pony with a tin foil hat, http://www.scribd.com/doc/25559072/Richard-Dolan-s-Tinfoil-Hat-a-general-systems-theory-of-conspiracy

My goodness, don't tell me there are "debunkers" out there? Really? Well damn, that settles that. No need to look at the evidence then. Good call. Intellectual rigor at its finest. Kudos, etc. Wasted my time on the Disclosure Project testimony too then, shit. Bunch of tin-hat liars. Thanks for setting me on the right path. K.

FrostedFlake -> RE: Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011 (4/20/2012 5:14:25 AM)
Paranoid bullshit? Who put this thing between Apollo 13 and the moon? http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/images/print/AS13/61/8865.jpg Are you saying it ain't there? THAT... would be paranoid bullshit. Thus, the change in my tune. If you want paranoid bullshit, let's think about how many children disappeared last year. Just... gone. What makes you think we are not simply convenient food for (some of) them? Moreover, what makes you think they are not native to Earth? As in Been Here everyday since we showed up? Could it not be that these are the same guys we been calling Demons and Angels? The good guys and the bad guys as suits the moment. Just like the farmer is to his cows, all the while caring for us in exactly the same way. Think about it. 30,000 years ago we were cave painters. 10,000 years ago we were building pyramids. And we built a lot of them, all over the world. And today, we don't know how. Or when. Or where. Or why. That is a little tough to explain, isn't it? Does it really sound like something we would have thought of ourselves? One day, Thag said, "Hey, I know! We'll just stack rocks for the rest of all of our lives!". And everyone said "Cool!". No one asked why. Trust me. I know from paranoid bullshit.

You are very welcome dear boy but I never said they were liars - some (perhaps like yourself) seem delusional enough to really believe that conspiracy is behind all the problems and tragedies that befall Man's unfortunate existence. I particularly liked his contention that John F. Kennedy was assassinated because he wanted to tell on UFOs. Wow... [:D]
