True, or a VERY clever fake?
Personally I reserve judgement on this, what do YOU think. (Watch closely at the end, it has what appear to be US Airforce markings)

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
Think of it this way,
If the US Gov had a top secret aircraft would they take the thing out for a test spin in broad daylight?
I am thinking no.
Is it possible? Perhaps.....

guys come on! (Lol) The goofy video of the airplane landing with one wing was more realistic!

My guess would be not over the continental US if they did have something like that.

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
The thing about taking eons to travel across galactic distances; theoretical physicists have suggested plausible shortcuts. Space-time isn't necessarily linear, but rippled. In a Cigarette boat, you don't travel up and down every swell in the ocean, you skip over the tops of them. Or, here's one; what if they travel no distance at all. They are already here, simply from another Earth, in another - call it what you want - universe, dimension, ??? So maybe they are us, or whatever we developed into in their version.

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
I find that theory/myth interesting that we are actually decendents from Mars...it could explain a lot of things...and I do believe there is some type of life out there, and I think they'll will find it in the next twenty years easy. But that video...ha,ha,ha,ha,ha (old school lol)
Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
Something terrible evidently happened to Mars long ago. It looks as if some of it's crust was knocked off, possibly the same thing that took away the atmosphere and made it so mishapen. It wouldn't be all that surprising if it was actually the first green planet in our system. I wish I thought we'd find out in my lifetime, but it ain't gonna happen.

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
I think it will, they all ready found water on it, probably an asteroid, same thing that'll probably get us.
Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
Yeah. Luckily, there aren't quite as many coming this way now, but we've still had a couple of scary close calls recently. I believe one even passed us inside the moon's orbit not too long ago. Whew! Or the Sun could hiccup and immolate us in a heartbeat at any time. We'll know in 8 minutes.Mark Boesen wrote:I think it will, they all ready found water on it, probably an asteroid, same thing that'll probably get us.

Not deliberately for sure, but...........mechanical problems? something outside the crew's control? I agree it's unlikely, but I am fascinated by the video, even as a fake, it's a clever one!
My argument against UFOs being "Little Green Men" (or any other colour) from "Outer Space" is this......
Any race capable of crossing interstellar distances would be so far advanced that they would have nothing to fear from US!. So, if (or when) they arrive it will be on the White House Lawn, in Red Square, or wherever, why would they skulk about, hiding in clouds trying not to be noticed??
I have NO doubt that "We are Not Alone", common sense says there must be life elsewhere, but we are an insignificant planet on the outskirts of the Galaxy, why would anyone bother with the trip to get here?

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
i think its laughable how every "close encounter" video has a spaceship in it,
which magically looks exactly like we would have imagined it to look like.
all we "know" about the looks of alien space craft has been dreamt up by men, let's face it!
the flying saucer- it deviates from every other form of space and/or air craft,
and doesnt look the least bit like it could create any kind of lift.
the green men- green skin, they have nothing in common with any intelligent species we know.
but, they have a fairly human stature so we can identify with them. normal human thought procedure.
so if some life form really decides they have to pay us a visit, i reckon they will not look like green men,
nor will they arrive in oversized dishware. sorry, i'm a realist.

I note that the tendency now is to make "Alien" spacecraft look even more unlike anything that could ever enter an atmosphere, but of course this is all explained by "Anti-gravity drives" or similar, as to the aliens always being human-shaped, VERY unlikely, unless they happened to come from a planet virtually identical to earth, with roughly the same flora and fauna (Even MORE unlikely) but of course "Close encounter" stories come from the "Witnesses" imaginations, which are strictly limited!
But of course, "Aliens" MUST be humanoid, or how would they fit into the suits?

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
yup, i think alien visitors is the most unlikely thing to happen to us.
first, life has to somehow form itself. then, somehow has to
develop intelligence and survive for a VERY long time. when they actually
make it to where we are right now, they first have to learn to
not wipe themselves out with the technology they have created. we
have not learned that yet. and THEN, they actually have to develop some kind of
propulsion system that can carry them through space in a minimal amount of time, AND
THEN they have to find out that our planet is home to intelligent species!
the chances of getting all these factors right are probably the slimmest ones, next to
just being impossible.

Re: True or Very Clever Fake
Just have to tell this tale.
Back in the early 70's I worked offshore in the North sea on an oil platform,
unfortunately I was on the dayshift.
In the morning about a hundred nightshift workers all claimed to have a
seen the sky full of white lights moving at incredible speed across the sky and
stopping dead.
The platform management came on the radio saying, ' I see the little
green men are back tonight'
Now the management were to a man, hard bitten, drillers from USA
and working offshore for years had seen all the usual natural explanations.
Always wondered, do I believe, maybe.

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
Alot of universe out there, and it is still expanding. If you have ever stood out in the high Mojave on a clear night, you would look upon our galaxy with awe. It is breathtaking. Just to many stars out there for there not to be life of some sort.
Maybe not waking, talking life,, but microbial soup for sure.

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
yah, we just found numerous planets similar to ours, there could very well be some life there.

Re: True, or a VERY clever fake?
There ARE strange phenomena in the skies, I know, I've seen a couple of them. What they are, I don't know, what they are NOT, I do, they are NOT alien visitors, for the logical reasons given in my earlier post
