Aliens???

@Buell

So my DP lived on the IOW when he was about 8. He vividly remembered walking down Ryde High Street and seeing a group of teenagers coming towards him. One was a tall lad, dressed eccentrically with a signature accessory that was quite unique. This would have been in around 1977. He recalled that as they passed each other, the teenager seemed a little weirded out but passed on by without comment.

In his late teens, DP was again walking down Ryde High Street, with a group of friends and wearing said signature accessory which he had adopted after seeing a contemporary singer wearing similar. He swore blind he passed his 8 year old self coming the other way, recognising the outfit and haircut and he almost said something but passed by just feeling quite shaken.

He had strong recollection of both events, from both perspectives and no reason to make it up. 1977 boy fashion was quite distinctive so it was unlikely to have been the chosen garb of a child in the late 80s.

I’d give anything to be including him on this conversation right now - he loved sci-Fi and was hanging out for the singularity and wet-wiring. Blade Runner was one of his favourite films.

He’d be having a whale of a time with this. God I miss him.

Apparently Mussolini found a crashed aircraft with something not human 100 years ago and it was covered up

Then why is Congress giving them legitimacy with this public hearing?

Will there be someone coming to testify later who will debunk it all?

Is there life on other planets?

Probably.

Has that life evolved enough to have been able to harness the vast quantities of energy required to move between solar systems and then used it to briefly whizz around our planet every now and again for the last 100 years?

Unlikely.

I think pilots and others regularly see things they can't explain. But that doesn't mean there's an alien explanation for them. Weather phenomena, eyesight playing tricks on us etc can all account for these. It's the same as the black panther sightings that are most likely someone's pet cat.

The hearings today are mostly the testimony of one man who doesn't appear to have any evidence to back up his claims. Pinches of salt needed.

My late DP was absolutely convinced he saw his future teenage self when he was a child, and then repeated the experience as a teenager when he reached that age. He was way more sceptical than I most of the time but when he related the story, he was visibly discombobulated and subsequent re-telling never varied.

So the time / vibrations/ dimension aspect sort of tastes right even if the particulars have yet to be nailed down.

Although it’s pretty scary, I’d sort of love this to be true.

I do remain highly skeptical for now, though.

They're here, aren't they ?

The why was revealed I think by Garcia at the end.

It's about getting credible witnesses on public record as a stepping stone to further investigation.

I think it is the first time where the public can have confidence that there is a group of politicians in the US government (several US senators) who actually want to get to the truth of the matter and establish the facts, whatever they may actually be. And if people choose to frustrate them in that process, then the consequences for them could be quite serious.

Whatever you believe about the witnesses, I think the senators asking the questions are really serious about establishing the truth.

I’m definitely more intrigued about the why of this hearing than what IYSWIM.

But it is great to come on here and be able to have a talk about it without the instant David Icke dismissal for once.

But to say God doesn't exist is an opinion. I believe in God and I also believe we aren't the only life form.

I do think they will be going into damage control. Consider how many people have lost jobs, reputations ruined, silenced, paid off, etc.. all done in the name of the 'US government' for reporting 'sightings' (now appears to not be the US government but some department that the government aren't even aware of??).
I think the majority of the public already accept that we are not alone. There's more mistrust with the people in charge (who TF is even in charge?) and this could ruin the current way governments run.

Humans are complete pricks. We are the last species who should be in charge of the galaxies. We wreck everything.

Got it, thanks 😁

Basically humans are not alone.

It's not just my human mind, it's how the whole of humanity understands the nature of our universe at this current point in time.

Improbable doesn't = impossible, but it isn't as simple as Fred and Wilma from beta reticuli jumping in the family flying saucer and visiting Nevada for the weekend.

If they do exist, and if they have detected us as a planet and a civilisation worth bothering about, then the questions posed about how they actually get here require some pretty fantastical answers, but they are not completely beyond the scope of our human perception of the universe. Just because we don't know how, and we don't posses the technology to travel to black holes, never mind through them, doesn't mean that we can't conceive of the fact that could quite possibly be the secret to 'inter-dimensional' or 'warp' travel, because as we understand black holes, they appear to do some bizarre things to time and space, so it's possible some civilisation somewhere has develop the means to exploit that.

It's also entirely possible that we are, and always have been entirely alone as the only remotely developed civilisation in the universe, and what people are witnessing has nothing at all to do with ET's, because just as 'Improbable doesn't = Impossible', 'Possible and plausible does not = probable'.
