I just watched Unacknowledged on Netflix by Disclosure Project founder Dr. Steven M. Greer. Interesting enough to make you wonder, although it is said the little "alien" that was found was actually human.
Whether or not you've watched the show what is your take?
I always thought it was interesting that there was this plethora of "UFO" videos in the 80's and 90's, grainy footage shot on handheld VHS cameras and difficult to really discern quite what was being shown due to the inherent limitations of the video technology. And now that we live in a time where almost everyone walks around with a device in their pocket capable of shooting 1080p high-definition video and instantly uploading it to the Internet...suddenly there are no more UFO videos. Weird.
^ different technology,if they can fly millions of miles to visit, surly they can interrupt the digital signal of the phones to erase any videos or prevent their images from being displayed.
Or just maybe their technology has advanced like ours and they can now cloak themselves and are there but are invisible.
One could be standing next to you right now,how would you know it?
That's because everyone walking around "with a device in their pocket capable of shooting 1080p high-definition video and instantly uploading it to the Internet...." are the next generation of the aliens who's plethora of "UFO" videos were taken in the 80's and 90's and nobody believed them!Quote:

To late to do anything about it now; you just gotta keep paying the exorbitant running costs and speaking less and less as the spoken word dies out.
Well you're the conspiracy theory expert, so I'll just have to take your word for it. I can also tell that you have a solid grasp on how video cameras work.Quote:

Kinda lends credence to Coracle's theory.
I've no doubt that you sincerely believe his theory.Quote:

The weirdest one IMHO was the belief that storing razor blades in a pyramid-shaped container somehow kept them sharper longer. One claim was that the material of the container didn't matter — only the shape itself mattered.
Eventually the fad fad faded. :)

Nannoo, nannoo.
And now an aside about the speed of light.
The speed of light is roughly 186,000 miles/second. Nothing with mass can go faster than the speed of light. The only reason light can go that fast is because photons, the particles that make up light, have no mass.
It's not that light is special, it's that light goes as fast as the laws of physics will allow anything to go. That's why the speed of light is in the equation e=mc^2, because, basically, the speed of light is the point at which mass becomes energy.
How positive are we that nothing can go faster than the speed of light? Well, it's an integral part of e=mc^2, and we use that equation all over the place. We use it to figure out chemical reactions, to design micro-electronics, batteries, microwave equipment, cell phones - anywhere energy is moved around. If the speed of light was not the speed limit of the universe, a whole bunch of stuff wouldn't be working right now.
So what does that mean?
1. You can't make a space ship go faster than the speed of light
2. If you *could* somehow get a spaceship to go that fast, every atom in it would tear apart into energy [[heat and light)
3. Once you turn something into energy, you can't turn it back into the original thing - all the structure is lost
4. This also means transporters are impossible - you can't convert matter into energy and have the matter retain it's structure
This isn't some arbitrary rule physicists came up with - it's a fundamental law of physics, that a bunch of other verified laws are also based on.
At the end of the day, if aliens are visiting this planet, they are going to need a lot of bloody mary mix and individually wrapped bags of peanuts - it's going to take millions of years.
That Humans are constrained to think in terms we invented based on our own limits of understanding. The real facts may be completely different, but Humans may not be smart enough to ever find out how thing really work.Quote:
So what does that mean?
But we are smart enough to figure out general relativity. Hence the speed of light being the fastest anything can go.Quote:

Remember, we once 'knew' the Earth was flat. And we once 'knew' that nothing could live in the deepest of deep underwater sea trenches and caverns. Until fairly recently when we found new forms of life we never knew existed. Or could exist.
If they could "interrupt the digital signal" surely they could have degaussed the video tapes with their advanced technology. Even WE had that technologyQuote:

Problem with that is we are not able to except space currency,so we would have to figure out how to pay for it.Forget about the whole vetting process.Quote:

That's why the movie "District 9" is such a good movie.

Do you use voice to text? It apparently doesn't know the difference between accept and except. Or you don't.Quote:

Thus, your computer monitor can display colors because we understand what is happening at the sub-atomic level as light is split apart through semiconductors.Quote:

Some people thought that, others didn't. Pythagoras had a very early proof that earth was round, and that was 500BC.Quote:

I'd like to see a scientific paper that said that life was "impossible" in the deep ocean, because I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist. I'm sure a scientist has said at some point in time that they didn't think it was possible, but that is different than coming up with a proof that it's impossible.Quote:

If evidence comes up showing that something can go faster than the speed of light, then the physical models will be changed appropriately. This is highly unlikely, as we are currently using the physical models that depend on this fact all over the place, and it works.
Do you have any evidence that matter can travel faster than the speed of light? Because if you don't, you're argument is basically that, because you think aliens have visited this planet, a huge portion of extensively proven and researched physics is completely wrong, because scientists have been wrong before.
No,speech to text seems to have issues with my northern/southern accent and to me is no more advanced then the early days of dragon naturally speaking.Quote:

My forte is mechanical aptitude,and that is what I excelled at and it seems to have worked because I was able to semi- retire at 53 with no debt.
In my younger years,if I built you a house and a hurricane was bearing down on you and your family,are you going to be concerned about my spelling or your families safety in the house that I built for you.Priorities.
I was not an English teacher or educator so spelling was really not a requirement or used as a factor when cutting checks.
I am on two other sites,a boating site,and a vintage truck site.
The boating site by its nature,involves a diverse group of participants from all walks of life and levels of education,also a variety of subjects,but yet nobody seems to feel the need to comment or correct spelling or sentence structure.
Same as the vintage truck site,why is that?
Notice the difference when posting this from XP pro verses IPhone 6.
To use the phrase from the now banned and soon to be erased from history movie... Frankly,my dear,I do not give a damn.
But using the work "except" gives your post an entirely different connotation than using the word "accept". To except something means to leave it out, so the way it's written you state that if we are not able to leave out space currency we will have to find some other way to pay for whatever it is you want to pay for. Also you want to know if we can really afford to start leaving out millions of aliens rather than can we really afford to start opting them in. This reverses what you are trying to say.Quote:

Accountants same thing,if I need to present a properly structured paper,I can flip a collage student $50 and tell them have at it,see how ones short comings can have a trickle down effect.
I do admire those who can say something in 6 words or less that takes me 3 pages to convey,but I do not let it bother me,life is too short.
If everybody was an expert in everything we would be bored and be a mirror of each other,what fun is a non diverse society.
An artist can have zero education but yet transfer an image from their brain onto canvas into a beautiful picture that tells a story,I cannot.
I cannot play a musical instrument even after piano lessons as a child,and have the stupid row row your boat gently lyrics down the stream,forever burned into my brain.
I am good at what I do and I do not place judgement on others based on their shortcomings or not.
I think an education is important but I also think it is to generic and tries to narrow down the train of thought when everybody is different.
Not important,but I have a friend,very intelligent at what he does,he is of 5 in the world doing what he does,zero common sense.
He moves to this country,his daughter is placed in the 7th grade by the school and immediately starts getting Cs and Ds on her report card,he was having none of that because she was a across the board straight As before and forces the school to have her tested.
They bumped her from the 7th grade to the 12th grade and she finished 4 years of collage in a year and half.
Comparatively to the rest of the world,we are not exactly considered a highly educated country as a whole,we wholesale students and wonder at the results.
Anyways,did you actually come here to comment on aliens or just my jist of it all?
You are obviously not using your hired talent to help you convey your thoughts here, so it's hard to understand what you are trying to convey so I will pass on discussing aliens, or much of anything else, with you. I'm glad you've made money though; your post explains much of why you back the right.

Is that how one separates a sentence,with a dot colon ; ?
Remember: All aliens must register.
Even if they land in a alien sanctuary city?
I can imagine if they are watching us it would be for entertainment purposes.Maybe they have the earth channel on satellite.

The new Google headquarters does kinda look like a space ship,maybe they are already here and only allow their technology to slowly leak out because they were introduced to capitalism.

They have discovered a signal that supposedly was sent 5 billion years ago,maybe they were calling for help,while we endure 30 minute police response.

Great,just what we need,more anti American aliens.
I think we should take a cue from the movie Mars Attacks and just nuke em before they get a chance.
Relax the aliens don't stand a chance:

That's called a semi colon and yes, if you're denoting a pause. A regular colon denotes a list or explanation
I could accept that theory, except I don't really want to.Quote:
