  1.  @craigthescott5074  Darkwing Duck! Darkwing Duck!

  2. yup

  3. take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints

  4. Great analogy, especially considering the Indian Navy wants the ocean in that region to itself. Protecting Andaman works for the Andamanese and the Indian national security strategy.

  5. Someone should interview the folks involved in Cuban Missile Crisis to see if there were many UFO sightings
    2
  6. yes that is a wild fact
    2
  7.  @zprep4707  the PBS Spacetime episode The New Warp Drive was very interesting in that respect
    2
  8. Cirque de Solei?
    2
  9. Hubble detects a sign on Pluto reading "Please do not feed the people"
    2
  10. why would they stay in the oceans? perhaps they are aquatic beings
    2
  11.  @Yoziggy  wow yeah that's logical. Some years ago a couple guys were hanging out on my friend's boat telling us about a UFO they saw on the North Shore. They said it came right out of the water. I wish I could recall more details. I have long wondered about the underwater tech tree. How could they get to "fire" or something similar that would allow materials and energy to be motivated in big ways? Maybe they learned to forge tools at the hot smokers and harness the electric eels for welding...

  12. the answer to that is always 'yes' if the civ is based on the tech

  13.  @Alderak1  Do you have a good source for Egyptian temple allignments? Ancient astronomy is a rare look into how people thought, and our amazing abilities. Love that stuff.

  14.  @erebusrealm  Which literally means before a sumptuous, so like an appetizer? In any case hypotheses are welcome to be bold and even unlikely, as long as they are testable; as gfresh said let's dare!

  15. yeah Kardashev is like a biggest engine competition. it is a fascinating concept and got people talking. but like you I don't expect progress to always equal "bigger"
    1
  16. Yeah, especially if they are dropping their trash callously. Otherwise I might assume they like floating.

  17. @0-0-0 QSR and the drone ships could have a supply of "instant alien" just add water
    1
  18. Tic tac is extraordinary, and it's very hard to conclude otherwise. I'm not saying alien, but there is a very impressive set of data on the event.
    1
  19.  @theklaus7436  I watched it. There was nothing that changed what I thought of the Tic Tac incident.
    1
  20.  @theklaus7436  In terms of thoughts, we have a bimodal population today: those who have seen crazy stuff, and watch 60 minutes and think "sounds right" and those who haven't seen crazy flying stuff watch 60 minutes and think "Prove it." Both are valid, just different Bayesian priors.

  21. keep looking up!
    1
  22. does not compute.
    1
  23.  @Jsmith32t  The former head of Israel's Space Security told reporters that there is in fact a galactic federation...
    1
  24. that's how I see it also. A really smart God might design a universe to run without constant intervention and repair.
    1
  25. idk, some 'alien' species may have been here for up to 65 million years i figure
    1
  26. certainly if it keeps growing. but our pop is going down the richer we get
    1
  27. Can Lex get Snoop and Willie on together? maybe same subject, UFOs
    1
  28.  @PixelPhobiac  maybe in the other Brane (braneworlds scenario, legit science although it is totally speculative)
    1
  29. yes they sure are "poking around"! But maybe not actually poking very often
    1
  30. the best was the Nimitz incident with multiple sensor recordings from ships and planes and four eye witnesses. much of that data has not been released
    1
  31. fire ants excepted
    1
  32.  @dirtypure2023  youtube seems to be on a tear. i imagine them trying to control the algorithm as it destroys office after office looking for more comments to delete
    1
  33. The audacity of radar analysis.
    1
  34. 30m people in the US have seen things that don't seem to fit any known animal or technology.
    1
  35. incorrect. Pentagon reported ~40 incidents that could not be explained
    1
  36. complete knowledge of the quantum state of a system gives us at least one measurement that can be predicted, and one that cannot...
    1
  37. agree. life grows.
    1
  38. Once. E. O. Wilson was our ambassador.
    1
  39. I wonder what would be next after synthetic?
    1
  40. Because they like to wear tuxedos?
    1
  41. those aliens sound like Paul's friends
    1
  42.  @damyr  It would be nice if those type of encounters were commonplace and we didn't have to worry about radiation burns. I suppose there are ships that are safe and ones that are hot. There are so many different kinds
    1
  43. Ok but... Lazar says they were working on alien crafts, so did we back engineer some great stuff already? Could be! He said when he was working there they couldn't yet duplicate the tech, but they could kinda fly it.
    1
  44.  @kerryblackburn7850  Agree! Just a few of the wild things we can do today: Metamaterials FTL propagation in gain assisted media Single atom placement Stationary light
    1
  45. I would expect boundaries on tech, but it looks like we're not close yet. One prediction from SETI failure: radio will be replaced fairly soon with something better. Thus, most civs in the galaxy do not use it, so we don't detect it.
    1
  46. so far beyond our tech that we can look right at it and not know what it is
    1
  47. yes, efficiency may increase as tech advances, to the point where they are invisible among the stars (but visible on earth)
    1
  48. find a skeptic, not a debunker. debunkers like west confuse their feeble protest for actual fact
    1
  49. There are accounts of telepathy, which would (partly) ameliorate that difficulty perhaps.
    1
  50. it worked with the Shakers. you don't see many Shakers any more even at Bed Bath and Beyond
    1
  51.  @julythrunov  Yeah totally agree, but on the other hand we aren't the only intelligent species. There's even one species that learned our language before we learned theirs!
    1
  52. 99.9999% of wild animals are harmless to people
    1
  53. all it took was a couple guys like Elizondon and an official Pentagon release. we are ready to talk about it, maybe soon to get a whole new level of disclosure. i expect there are many levels
    1
  54.  @paulbedichek5177  about 30 million people in the US have seen a UFO. the identity is usually not apparent. one mystery is why we see the here but not among the stars or other planets! they may not be alien. also, maybe aliens don't leave large tech signatures. Earth's radio signature is smaller now than in the 1950s if i recall. efficiency increases over time...
    1
  55. is expansion the same as exploration?
    1
  56. Yeah. The Tic Tac's behavior was almost playful.
    1
  57. what resources do we have that aren't floating around all over known space?
    1
  58.  @SomeGuy-mu9mt  yes! that's it. Earth has unique biology, but very normal minerals. It seems they also wanted a ton of cattle DNA also. Or maybe that was for a growth medium. Back in the 80s a rancher near here saw a saucer beaming at some cattle, and he shot through the beam with his 30-06. The saucer departed. Poor cows. Can't the aliens cook up some agar instead? Thankfully cattle incidents seem to have declined in recent decades.

  59. There is some talk that the Greys are engineered clone-like creatures with little emotion
    1
  60. some say there is a UFO/ Jesus connection
    1
  61. Gofast object: it was at 12k feet moving 59 mph, according to a computer model triangulation done by NYU Quantum Tech Lab (video is on youtube) I dig the "bird" hypothesis as I studied migration for many years -- but does it actually fit any known bird? Audubon called, he wants his duck back.

  62. sightings are in every country. check out Uruguay
    1
  63. that makes sense. also it is good advice with or without aliens! live softly on the earth and respect all creation.

  64. west's debunking has been debunked
