Would be funny if they tried, considering all the stuff that he knows and that he is legally represented by the former Director of National Intelligence.
If an advanced civilization developed the technology for interstellar travel, and came all this way to earth, I suspect one of 2 things will happen. Either their tech is so advanced that we won’t even detect them, or they show up ready to communicate or destroy us.
I can’t see them clumsily flying around, getting seen and whooshing off like some dumb teenagers playing ding-dong-ditch.
They travel thousands of light years just to pick up some ding dong and toss him back. I just picture a grey little alien dropping off a hillbilly after a solid butt probin’ with a finger over his mouth uttering, “Shhhh! No one will believe you.”
I mean if you look at it like *observe and don’t interact" then it makes a lot of sense why the craft keep going into the ocean. It’s the best place on earth to hide and you can get anywhere on the planet that way.
It amuses me that they get caught on VHS flying around clumsily, but no one’s ever seen anything out in space. How did they get into the atmosphere? Not one telescope on the planet can spot ships flying towards the planet
You implied we could see everything with telescopes, we can’t even see everything with the tech nasa employs.
Maybe, maybe not, doesn’t change the fact that we’ve missed lots of stuff that’s hit or missed earth despite your asinine claim we don’t miss anything.
Also: for a civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel to want to destroy us is unlikely. The universe is filled with resources. We pose no threat and don’t really have anything special.
I’m starting to think they’re inter dimensional, not extra terrestrial. Google what would a human in 4d look like to us, and it sounds just like the descriptions of angels in the Bible. Our brain just glitching out and seeing them as a mess of eyeballs and appendages. They can pop in and out of our reality, seemingly out of nowhere.
I don’t get why everyone was always assuming ‘alien’ vs “time travelers.”
The interest in Earth, general similarity to our own tech but more advanced, coupled with non-intervention makes a lot more sense under those conditions than aliens.
Why is it so hard to understand that an Unidentified Flying Object is simply something flying that the observer doesn’t know what it is. We know that the aerospace industry makes new planes, and that many of these are secret designs that we don’t have clearance to know about. Thus, many, if not all, UFOs are simply classified aircraft. Simple.
My guess would be that a majority of people don’t know what UFO stands for, or even if they do, don’t think about it. Most of the time you hear about UFOs is in pop culture referencing aliens, or the conspiracy guys equating crafts they can’t identify as alien UFOs, so it’s really not that hard to see why people jump to alien when they hear it.
100% not all. Many UFOs have been positively identified as something else, like balloons, blimps, drones, frisbees, lens effects, smut, CGI or other intentional fakes, etc.
Not sure why this is news. UFOs are always human aerospace craft or nature. I remember a few years ago they showed TGP video of a bird-sized blob, moving over the sea, moving at bird speeds, than then dipped into the water, much like a bird would while hunting fish. Then everyone started talking about how this blob was clearly a multi-modal vessel that featured currently unknown flight properties.
A spike in UFO sightings in the 1960s was likely caused by tests of advanced US spy planes and space technology, a Pentagon report has concluded.
The findings, submitted in a report to Congress on Friday, also said there was “no evidence” that the US government had interactions with aliens.
Most sightings of UFOs or “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP) were ordinary objects, officials said.
“The proliferation of television programmes, books, movies, and the vast amount of internet and social media content centred on UAP-related topics most likely has influenced the public conversation on this topic, and reinforced these beliefs within some sections of the population,” the report said.
A Pentagon spokesperson said that officials had approached the report in an open-minded way, but had simply found no evidence of extra-terrestrial visitors.
“All investigative efforts, at all levels of classification, concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of misidentification,” Maj Gen Pat Ryder told reporters.

With the court decision that fertilized eggs are children doesn’t this mean that the legislators are making the murder of children legal?
Note: The court is wrong, I’m just pointing out that it wouldn’t make sense to have a law that makes killing five year olds fine and the court said fertilized eggs have the same rights as a five year old so someone could get charged with ‘killing’ some fertilized eggs by dropping them.
It’s exactly what it means. This has to be potential common ground that can help the “pro life” crowd see that their argument is an oversimplification. But I also think it’s a fragile situation. This just passed. It still has to survive court scrutiny, spread, and last long enough for a majority to continue to see it as sensible. I think then in it can be part of an argument that mere conception isn’t when a person suddenly exists. (And I know that’s all about choosing to engage the discussion on the terms of the “pro life” crowd; the “pro choice” argument isn’t contingent on the personhood status of an embryo but, rather, the right of the mother to choose what happens to her own body. But the “pro life” crowd either doesn’t seem to grasp or doesn’t more highly value that logic, so something like IVF might be like getting them to compare a mother’s weight to that of a duck to “realize” what’s really important to them, that she’s not made of wood.)
I feel like the court ruling was another example of a dog catching the car.
Their rage and anger against abortion went so far that they didn’t realize that important services like IVF were going to be affected.
The passage of this law, in some ways, clarifies the GOP position: good Christians want babies. Only sluts need abortions.
They are making it legal to kill IVF eggs to satisfy companies. But by keeping the killing part quiet, they can still say they are pro-life to their voters.
You and many others that have shared the same opinion that Roe v Wade is the dog catching the car. The problem is that this dog believes the creator of the universe told him to catch the car, they are never gonna see the error of their ways and about face
Because they are trying to pass laws that make no logical sense, where the only goal is to achieve an agenda no matter what. There’s no way the laws will ever make sense because the goal itself isn’t logical.
I don’t understand, isn’t it against God’s plan if you get an IVF? What if he doesn’t want you to have children and has done everything to prevent you from doing it.
Not that I’m not relieved that they make rape exceptions (when they even do), but from their perspective, a rape exception also makes no sense. Abortion is murder and every life is precious unless it’s conceived in a rape?
At least three IVF clinics paused treatments in the wake of the ruling, which divided Alabama’s conservative
The outcome was worse that just pausing. Because clinics didn’t have clear guidance about responsibility about fertilized eggs, clinics refused to release them to the prospective parents.
As soon as this new legislation passes and the pause is removed, the smartest patients will immediately transfer their fertilized eggs out of the state and outside the control of these religious zealot lawmakers and state supreme court justices.
Our religious zealotry caused us to come to a really stupid conclusion. Rather than reconsider our zealotry, we’re just going to pretend that that’s ok, and just kinda brush that cognitive dissonance under the rug.
