Thanks for the tactical info.

BTW. In Texas we have mosquitos that would make any self-respecting ET wish that pirahnas had bitten him instead! Not to mention fireants, redwasps, copperheads, rattlesnakes, moccasins and the occasional "bubba".

I suggest reading “The Demon Haunted World, Ccience as a Candle in the Dark” By Carl Sagan instead.

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” -Carl Sagan

again
I am a hard ass skeptic,
I would not waste time on such as I.

But you shouldn't say
there's "no evidence." It's there,
you just ignore it.

Then get the evidence as I desribed that I cannot ignore.
Get it to a lab. Get it to a TV station. Get it verified by labs around the world, get it on the cover of National Geographic and Scientific American.
Change the course of human history with it.

Ill be the first to celebrate the discovery.

Short of that, I am not interested.

Sorry. I am a hard ass unapologetic skeptic in the full sense of the word.

No hard feelings. Just who I am.

You have your answers for you. Thats great.

There actually is some pretty good eyewitness type of evidence around, from reliable people, including military, though there are no generally accepted “artifacts” that I know of. But as I noted on another thread, when I was on jury duty last month, the judge explained to us that eyewitness testimony alone was enough to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

I don’t follow this stuff all the time, so I don’t have the more reliable reports at my fingertips, but I think they are not very hard to dig up either. I do enjoy these threads when they appear on FR. There are a fair number of freepers who’ve seen weird things, for that matter.

Interesting that you run a SETI program, I think there are other freepers who do that as well.

They’d need a hole the size of the Grand Canyon.

Fortunately for them, God knew they’d be coming and made advanced preparations.

While I do not agree with all this Alien business, I do think it’s silly to need proof for everything. I’m the last one who wants to admit it, but weird shit happens a lot more than people think.
Of course when it does, you should turn your back on it. Keep yourself sane.

I guess the only fitting response to that is . . .

ENJOY YOUR ADDICTION to TYPE II errors.

But . . . you might keep in mind, that they can bite every bit as hard as TYPE I errors.

How about a little reality in this discussion.

If a species capable of extra celestial travel were to choose to invade earth I doubt that we would ever get the opportunity to use weapons of any kind in defense.

Such a species if they desired to take Earth for their own could most likely engineer a human specific virus to wipe out the human population.

If for some reason they decided that humans would make a good slave population (I can’t think of a reason that a so advanced civilization would need slaves) they could engineer a virus to lobotomize we humans making us passive.

It is most likely that the war would be over before we knew we were under attack. We would for all intents and purposes be at their mercy.

I think it’s pretty well accepted and/or proven in the field that Carl Sagan was a paid government stooge/debunker.

You make it sound like there are no TYPE II errors to be concerned about.

That’s IRRATIONAL.

TYPE II errors are every bit as common as TYPE I errors and just as deadly.

Stanton Friedman shredded the whole SETI enterprise with great humor. You can read it on his website.

BTW, there have been interesting artifacts etc. examined in multiple labs with otherworldly sorts of compositions verified. But it’s lost in the shuffle in that the MSM is typically ordered to avoid publishing the solid stuff or to publish bits of it sandwiched between lots of discounting stuff that leaves an impression of ridicule or weak evidence.

Assuming that’s the true story is virtually a guaranteed route to a horrendous TYPE II error.

There’s some serious suggestions from more than a few diverse sources that something very close to that has been designed to be the case. That implants that render humans passive, compliant slaves at a given future technological switch thrown or signal sent . . . are now likely planted in upwards of 3,000,0000 Americans alone.

Well dont let it bother you guys.

Keep persuing your truths.
