I‘m super excited about all the hard evidence we will surely get to see very soon! Can’t wait!

Remember "Alien Autopsy" back in the 90s?

Presented with a completely deadpan face by Jonathan Frakes from Star Trek: TNG, I thought at the time just what a coincidence it was that this "bold" bit of "journalism" came out at precisely a time when Hollywood had developed its' makeup and prostheses technology enough to make a visually believable fake video on the subject.

A very large coincidence indeed. Wouldn't you say?
And so it always is and has been with this subject and the people that swirl around t.

I just... Don't believe it. I generally believe there is more going on than nothing but if the US had a spaceship with an alien body then we are really fucking bad at capitalizing on that technology, past the point of believability.

I believe aliens exist, somewhere in the universe. Statistically it seems inevitable, I just don't believe they've visited earth or even know we exist, just like we don't know they exist. You can sit on something like that, there would be much better evidence than grainy fake looking videos and second hand accounts.

Earth is a very early stable planet, I'm sure there will be lots more species in the coming billions of years. We might even be the most advanced civilization in the galaxy. But we'll probably never contact anyone else, best we do is notice signs of life on a distant planet.

We're really bad at a lot of things, despite what we have achieved. Just because you have a piece of material doesn't mean you can just recreate it. It's like Newton being handed a CPU. He may even be able to look at the nanoscale structures but he sure as shit can't recreate it. We're simply that far behind.

The other day I heard a great line somewhere: Consider how humans and apes share almost 99% of their DNA. You'll still have a tough time trying to explain the stock market to them.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Good to see AOC asking decent questions, and the non partisan nature of the hearing was really interesting. No political point scoring whatsoever except for one republican at the start.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

This is the most convincing part, in a political climate that can be called divisive at best.

If it involves, "its classified" its fake.

If the story involves naked aliens, its fake.

If it involves abductions, humans are doing the abducting, or its fake.
