To not understand why more people are not taking about potential ALIENS on earth!
I've just seen on the BBC a video of the lab probe in Mexico. This is crazy!!
I feel like we're being fed snippets of news feeds regarding this, in preparation for something big.
No-one seems bothered, which I'm really confused about!

The Mexican National University has said it's a hoax. That they paid to use their labs, but that it was a commercial relationship and not an academic one.

The Ufologist is a former journalist that decided to focus his career on aliens and UFO'S since the 80s or so.

I think all Ufologists are self proclaimed

@JustAnotherPoster00 which stage do you think we’re at re: the Great Filter? Life is unlikely to be organic, we’re too far away.

Given the amount of galaxies etc correspond to grains of sand on many beaches the silence & lack of evidence extraordinary.

All of the greatest minds on this planet believe that the Fermi paradox is correct, I'm going to go with what they say and until Brian Cox says there's aliens I'll take everything on the subject with a massive pinch of salt, although while saying that I do find what Bob Lasar has to say compelling

In that video they were also banding them about like wands in a single hand. Anything this precious (if it were even slightly suspected to be real) would have a special box out of which it would never come and white glove treatment.

and yes you can CT through a box (unless it’s metal). You can even edit the box out later. Regardless, they just wouldn’t be handled like that.

I actually am just not bothered if aliens turn up, bring it on, beam me up greyboys I don't want to live on this planet anymore anyway.

ladyofshertonabbas · 20/09/2023 23:20

Ohh, links please.

They did a live stream during which they x-rayed and scanned them apparently and they appeared to be genuine. I'm surprised because they didn't look convincing. Who knows.

My DS said that they're made of cake!

Yep they definitely from another planet 😅

Do you really think that creatures from another planet will have two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth on a head, attached by a neck to a body from which two legs with feet and two arms with hands sprout?

Why not, its practical. Never heard of parallel evolution. I think the same basic patterns will be repeated over and over if the environments are similar

Shh, don't tell them 👽

@Coyoacan that's exactly what I always think. All the possibilities for life forms in the universe and they always seem to look more or less like us.

@Thirtiesphysio
‘Also, to the poster who asked about their bodies supporting their large heads, I would be happy to try and explain if you like! Obviously with tongue firmly in cheek!’ 😂 I’m hoping you are as your username suggests, a physio, so I’m hoping you would be able to explain in any case please? I am genuinely interested!

I can certainly give it a go! I'm a physio student so lots of study of movement and biomechanics etc.

So putting aside the whole 'alien' thing for a moment, I believe theoretically yes it's body could have supported the large head.

This would have been dependent on several variables, including muscle mass, muscle tone, motor and sensorimotor control - in other words how its nervous system communicated with its muscles to coordinate the sequencing and timing of muscle activity - all of these things would contribute to overcoming the weight and mechanical disadvantages of a very large head in proportion to a small body in order to achieve postural control and balance.

How it moved and walked is another major factor, including whether it was bipedal/quadrupedal; it may have needed to move in a compensatory way in order to readjust it's centre of gravity and widen its base of support due to the large head - which appears to protrude more at the back, and small body and feet in comparison.

Lastly, lets suppose for a moment that it is an ancient extra-terrestrial being that evolved on a distant planet. How much it would need to compensate for the larger head would be dependent on how much gravity there was on that planet, and possibly other variations in the laws of physics I suppose.

I hope that helps, obviously only meant to be a bit of fun, definitely not any kind of theoretical, alien movement, head expert 😂

Come on OP it looks like someone’s child’s paper mache project it’s that fake!

squareyedannie · 20/09/2023 21:42

I'll only believe it when they've been independently verified.
At the moment, they remind me of the mermaids that used to be made out of a monkey skull sewn to a fish. A bit side-show.

I'm the biggest skeptic going but I am seriously starting to think this, too. There have been more alien stories this year than I've heard in my lifetime.

Well it makes a nice distraction from the fact our ecosystem is collapsing. Maybe they'll come down and rescue us? 👽

I was really heartened to find this thread as I'm also surprised that this story hasn't featured more in the mainstream news!

I initially assumed hoax, and prepared to move on. Then I saw the Mexican medical team tentatively placing them into the CT scanner, surprised that the findings were even credible enough to bother with expensive imaging.

The findings that have emerged today from the doctors are unexpected and odd to say the least. They are claiming that they are intact skeletons from the same individuals, that they are 1000 years old (allegedly confirmed by carbon dating) and that one was female and appears to be in gestation complete with eggs. I'm still extremely sceptical, since none of these findings have been independently verified in any way. It is undeniably interesting though!

Also, to the poster who asked about their bodies supporting their large heads, I would be happy to try and explain if you like! Obviously with tongue firmly in cheek!

TorqueWrench · 19/09/2023 23:57

(wonders if said aliens will destroy their intergalactic passports to avoid being deported... 🤔).

Peverellshire · 19/09/2023 21:52

Any aliens likely to be AI, not carbon.
