Aliens???

But do ancient civilisations need to mess with Darwin? Surely there's a lot of time unaccounted for maybe not exactly homisapian but other early humans or later? Pre ice age maybe we already left? So we are the aliens.

As a scientist this scares the living shit out of me. We have recently sent up the James Webb telescope to see back in time billions of years to distant galaxies but something can travel from it? A life form? Organic? Carbon based? What? They could tell us about the big bang if they can travel here. With the tech they must know everything. Blows my mind. I do belive in alien life forms. Just look at the size of what's out there. I'm not sure it could travel to us. There's lots of weird shit been seen by so many. There's weird similarlarities in ancient civilisations but I like to think that's just maths and patterns in maths ( which is also weird shit 🤔) .

But being older than we think a a species and anything that messes with Darwin then I couldn't cope. We fit perfectly in our phylum with out near DNA. Fundamental belief in science is that life is a perfect happy accident. Its such a core belief its like religion. It would blow everything apart.

I understand that part of the reason the name has changed from UFOs to UAPs is that they may not always be flying as we know it. They may be breaking through from dimensions we’ve not found yet?

I reckon at least some of the sightings must be hypersonic Chinese spyware but it’s fascinating nonetheless.

i don’t understand how it could have been kept a state secret for nearly 100 years, though.

I believe extraterrestrial life is a distinct possibility. I don't however believe fat american ex soldiers who claim to have seen flying saucers etc. More likely it was just a donut lol.

You'd be ignorant to think there's nothing else out there. Billions of planets and yet we're the only life form?

The original was brilliant - at the time! I thought Marc Singer was gorgeous. And Robert Englund is in it - played Freddy Krueger in the NOES films. He looked so innocent in V!

Unidentified they may be. But does anybody here believe these objects are from outside of Earth?

I lost half an hour earlier to reading this https://imgur.com/a/NXjWQaN

Its screenshots of someone who claims to be a government whistleblower doing an AMA on 4chan.

Quite mad but I enjoyed it!

Haven’t got to the end of the thread yet, but this made me laugh. It’s the overseas destinations and then Clacton tagged on the end has just made me chuckle.

Oh yes, the whole idea that history has been manipulated to cover up anomalies is indeed fascinating.

My Dad is a nuclear test veteran and has researched a lot all round the subject.

One of the interesting things he told me about is areas where sand has been impacted by something causing it to fuse in a particular way that has been seen in test zones. But these other areas are not in test areas. The theory is that it’s a by-product of meteor impact so far.

There are also famous Indian texts that describe what seem to be air battles a few thousand years ago.

There are medieval paintings, of religious type, with dubious things in the sky behind resembling UFOs.

Heck, even the Bible describes people seeing things in the sky that are deemed from “God” …..

There is an awful lot of stuff out there that has been rationalised away….. but we can’t know for sure…..

Absolutely think aliens probably exist.

Open to the possibility of aliens having visited, or even crashed, on Earth, but I do think it is so extraordinary that skepticism is warranted.

I do think the ‘Ancient Aliens’ stuff is completely implausible though. Maybe fun to listen to, but proper make-believe stuff.

What did someone quote? something along the lines of you'd take matches of a toddler, so why do you think they interfere with nuclear sites.

There's a whole thing about humanity being much older than we're told, catastrophic events and advanced civilisations dying out with unknown technologies being lost. But apparently it's all hushed up and artifacts hidden.
Love listening to these kinds of podcasts when I'm working

One could argue it hasn’t been kept a secret though, it has just been denied by those allegedly involved. Those who have tried to impart their knowledge have been ridiculed and discredited.

Admittedly some of those claiming to be in the know have been caught out in bare faces lies, some have plainly been chasing fame and money. So it’s easy to throw the baby out with the bath water.

But for every documented report there must be, statistically speaking, people who have had alleged alien encounters/ seen UFOs etc who have kept it quiet to avoid ridicule.

I predict a marked upturn in people sharing their stories. Of course, some will be bandwagon jumpers, as is human nature, and some will be strategic disinformation agents. It will be nigh on impossible to glean the truth.

What if we're just some aliens class project and their presence has increased because we're at risk of nuclear war and they want to make sure we don't do anything stupid

My money's on Trump unzipping his face on Fox News live... Then the "orangeyness" will explain itself.

I completely missed the Mars thing.

Hmm, a slow drip of “we may not be alone” …..

Shall we up the ante and throw a few predictions around?

I’ll put money on something archaeological, possibly in Egypt, that calls a few things into question…..

I'm not buying it. The world is full of corrupt governments and people, yet none have ever shown proof of existence. Surely Trump would have released proof if there was evidence as a) he could then take credit for telling the truth when everyone else has lied, and b) he could have made a shit ton of money from it.
One guy that testified took what he was told as true and has never seen any proof.
I'm not saying I don't believe aliens exist, I just don't know how it would have been kept a secret for so long.

@mauveiscurious yes they released video footage of people in China collapsing and fitting in the street and the same happening in hospitals with even doctors just randomly dropping down dead.
None of that happened here so i believe it was faked to scare us into taking it seriously.

That's the thing, given the scientists projections of the galaxies how can earth be the only planet with a civilisation on it

Maybe Neil A (aka) Alien was an actual Alien disguised as a human with human features and was the poster boy for space expedition. Sounds far fetched but with some of the things I have heard over the years doesn't sound so out there does it.

A pickle indeed …. Which reminds me of Rick and Morty.

There are theories that sci Fi is used to gently ease us into new technology etc…..

The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one.....

So in the entire universe and beyond earth has the only life?

I will do. I might see if there's any podcasts on it.
