If they were a threat to us we’d already be gone, or we’d be slaves to our alien overlords.

I think there are people who would benefit from us thinking aliens were a threat.

There are a lot of knowledgeable people who have very different views, backed up with consistent and persistent evidence (if you can call it that?) from many retired officials, many of whom have died in mysterious circumstances.

Loads of stories like that @ssd .

I’m trying so hard to hold in my inner conspiracy theorist. I love this stuff so much and could talk about it for days!

Tell me more lol

I feel like sky rocketing my anxiety

MySugarBabyLove · 26/07/2023 19:22

Seriously, unless they were lost or being punished, or had a serious God complex, why would intelligent alien life forms land on earth, much less stay here? well, you could ask yourself the same question wrt why we wanted to land on the moon, or are planning to travel to Mars. And invariably the answer is, because we can.

Another life form may well not even have known there was life here until they landed.

It’s completely naive to think that ours is the only planet with inteligent life.

Resources? (Water, oil, people to eat xD)

Or study of life on other planets. Maybe they're explorers. Or tourists.

Show quote history

Ha, like Alien 18-30. Maybe that’s why they keep crashing, they’re pissed youngsters on holiday 🍹 👽

Away atm but marking this to read later

I think it's far more likely that there is life on other planets, than that there isn't.

Why they would go to all the effort needed to repeatedly come here to whiz about a bit and occasionally crash, I've no idea.

Have you never been to the Zoo?

What's going on really with this sudden change of tack....are we being softened up for the day when our amazing leaders (cough) all fly away to Alpha Centaurus with the greys, leaving us less important lot to stay and scratch out a living on a burnt out planet??? (Meanwhile, in episode 5:31 of the Twilight Zone, our so called leaders discover just what it really means to be asked to dinner by a Grey....)

Seriously, unless they were lost or being punished, or had a serious God complex, why would intelligent alien life forms land on earth, much less stay here?

So just what are our cousins across the water really up to and what are they really trying to hide or distract from?

Incidentally I am absolutely 100% sure that there is life elsewhere in the universe. I am also 100% sure it has never been anywhere near us.

This is where I am too. I want to believe... but can't.

Oliotya · 26/07/2023 19:02

I'd be less worried about aliens and more worried about what they're trying to distract us from/convince us to do.

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

As in the US gov deliberately misled them

Boomboom22 · 26/07/2023 18:59

I think they are genuine just they were told a lie to cover up higher up military software.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 26/07/2023 18:39

Oh, that's ridiculous. (I'm paraphrasing below).

'I have seen alien spacecrafts in storage' Really? 'Absolutely'

Questioned on this.

'I can't talk about it'

'Well, I haven't actually seen them as such, but I've been told there are alien spacecrafts in storage'

'I personally know that people are harmed to protect the secret'

Further questioning.

'Well, I've heard that people have been harmed to protect the secret'

'I can't talk about it but I'll tell you in private'.

Bloody ridiculous.

The ramifications of speaking openly about potentially who is involved and why would be huge.
There are agendas from people who would use this (whether IFOs exist or not) to create fear amongst everyone to their advantage (terrified people are compliant). Rumours abound that recent disclosures are leading to a fake event to tighten control over people.

Do they bring unlimited energy sources for us and a solution to world famine etc

WhineWhineWhineWINE · 26/07/2023 18:56

The US I mean, not the aliens 🙄

WhineWhineWhineWINE · 26/07/2023 18:56

What are they up to now that they want to distract us from?

RaininSummer · 26/07/2023 18:55

Maybe they coming to save the planet from us.

WeetabixTowels · 26/07/2023 18:54

Haven’t heard of this thing in the US but I’m always surprised when people genuinely think in the entire universe, Earth is the only planet with life on it

WalterWitty · 26/07/2023 18:52

Sorry, realised I didn’t get to the point about changing the term to UAP’s. This is a clever tact as for years anyone talking about UFOs was publicly ridiculed…

Pinkbonbon · 26/07/2023 18:52

I don't see why not. We'd be mad to think our planet was the only one with life even from a religious perspective- who's to say God didn't go on to make more planets with living beings.

It's not really a good thing for them to come here though. They'd have to be more technologically advanced than us. So unless they have rules against plundering or domination of other planets...we'd be in big trouble.
