Astronaut Edgar Mitchell makes news about UFO’s and Extraterrestrials.

Posted on 09/27/2009 8:43:24 PM PDT by RoloSport

Are UFO's real? Are we alone in this vast universe? If there is other life out there in the universe have they visited our planet?

I think anyone who believes in this stupidity should be locked up.

Fools.

It is comforting that you are so

persistently WRONG.

I don’t think you’d recognize a tangible scientifically verified fact

if it bit you in a sensitive spot.

I’ve talked to the researchers face to face. Their research was solidly and scrupulously scientific.

Enjoy the TYPE II ERROR ADDICTION FOSTERED DELUSION about the scientifically verified evidence.

It does keep you around to play with.

Again, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, of which we have yet to see. That is an objective fact. I’m not saying that we have not been visited, I’m simply saying that we have no CREDIBLE, CONFIRMED, EVIDENCE of such.

Also, calling those like myself “silly idiots” for not being interested in accepting the ‘evidence’ is pretty immature and closed minded. It would be great if we can confirm not only the existence of intelligent alien life, but also if they have and have been visiting us. Until then, I think my Soviet conspiracy theory is just as, if not more plausible and more believable.

NO.

At this point . . . it’s hilariously obvious.

All these wails about extraordinary evidence wedded with the terminal level addiction to a TYPE II ERROR

with seemingly thorough-going ignorance about the implications of that marriage

ARE THOROUGHLY and hilariously IDIOTIC.

Ok, post the CREDIBLE UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE so us idiotic idiots who have the audacity to question the reality of E.T. visiting us and conducting anal probes can be enlightened..go ahead Quix....give us the proof that no one else has been able to and become instantly famous.....

the only Unidentified Flying Object I see is the Hubris of people like you whose smug ‘I know the truth and therefore am smarter than you’ attitude gets a bit tiring.

I’m simply saying that we have no CREDIBLE, CONFIRMED, EVIDENCE of such.

THAT NONSENSE ASSERTION falls in pieces on the piles of evidenc scientifically verified.

Folks who really care to know the truth have likely already researched such facts out.

Folks with a death grip on TYPE II ERRORS AND THEIR OWN BIASES seem to be genetically immune to proofs of any quality or solid logic.

Search yourself. I have no interest in being your rersearch clerk.

It’s a religion with these guys. The only people they can convert are the gullible. After that, there’s very little hope of turning them back. Same as the global warming crowd.

Have fun with the ufo-believing whacktards! They are amazingly idiotic. It’s a friggin riot how they claim YOU are the one making some kind of Type XXX error and yet there isn’t single shred of evidence to support their whacked out claims.

Show me some solid evidence. How about a picture of a real ET, or a genuine (clear, not blurry) picture of an alien craft. Just because a former astronaut believes it doesn’t make it so.

A former astronaut? I can think of one more at least -- Gordon Cooper. His bio, "Leap of Faith," is mostly NOT about UFOs, but a small portion of it is. And you know something? I give Gordo and Mitchell a lot more credibility than an anonymous internet poster, even if he/she IS a FReeper ...

... especially someone who says, "show me a picture and then maybe I'll believe you," when EVERYONE knows that no matter how clear the photo, no matter how realistic "a picture of a real ET," there's not a snowball's chance IN HELL that you would EVER consider either one authentic. You would continue to call them frauds and fakes, AND YOU KNOW IT. After posting such fraudulent drivel as what I quote above from your post, you actually think that you're more deserving of consideration than at least two men who were professional space explorers?

Talk about deluded.

I didn't realize they were even on this board until this thread. I mean, the guy claiming it was an open secret at NASA?!? Come on! I grew up with those men. Outside of Mitchell not a one of them that I know believes this malarkey. MUFON morons.

As I recall, Gordo did speculate that there was life out there and that surely some of it was/is intelligent — just as many of us have. I don’t recall him ever saying that they had visited earth. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Now I can’t say this for a certainty, just food for thought....the UFO phenomenon was used by the Soviets as part of their propaganda and Subversion in the Western World to weaken peoples belief in Religion and make it easier to change the culture and make it more receptive to Marxism.

I'd call that reaching and weak ... why on earth would you or anyone else conclude that UFOs would negate God and weaken people's religious faith? Especially when the opposite could quite possibly happen and people's faith become strengthened in the face of such chaos? Sounds more like rationalizing than theorizing.

Here's another theory: World governments have supressed and are supressing evidence in order to avoid mass world panic, and you, dear otherwise level-headed and sensible EAGLE, would be among the first to completely lose ALL sanity if it was suddenly revealed to you that indeed, UFOs are real.

The rest of us who have accepted and pondered the probability of their being real and all of its accompanying implications, would be the ones to keep our heads. You are the one making yourself vulnerable. Those of us who comprehend that there is a whole lot more about the universe and our reality that we don't understand (paranormal phenomena, for example) than what we do, are in a way upholding the wise Boy Scout motto: "Be prepared."

You, on the otherhand, would be among those blindsided in the unfortunate event that these critters make themselves known to us in our lifetimes -- which I hope NEVER COMES TO PASS. I hope and pray that you, me, Sam, LV Dave, yaz, Quix, and all of the rest of us on this thread -- even the unpleasant Travis T. -- live to ripe, healthy, vital old age and die contented still having this argument, it being never resolved. I really do. You see, I really don't want to "believe," but then again, I don't want to "believe" the math that says the dollars in my checking account only add up to what they do.

But here's the deal: it isn't a matter of belief, it's a matter of common sense and being prepared.

Same as the global warming crowd.

Cheap shot, low blow, lazy, and also wrong. Common sense and knowledge of natural history tells ME that man-caused global warming is a bunch of hooey and a socialist power-grab. Common sense and knowledge of what credible people have experienced/written about UFOs tell me that going into denial about it is a defensive mechanism folks like you take to bury your fear of the genuinely possible.

I take it then that you haven’t read Leap of Faith and never knew Gordon Cooper.

Wow you sound smart. Unfortunately you didn’t comprehend my “otherwise level headed and sensible” post. I write that I can’t say for a certainty. It’s just a theory and food for thought. The fact that people like you, and yes, even me, have no problem accepting the possibility that a loving God did create more worlds out there does not mean that the Soviets did not engage in disinformation in the belief that getting people to believe in UFO’s would weaken their religious beliefs and open the door for Marxism. Yuri Bezmenov did tell us that the Soviets were active in propaganda and subversion in the USA.

Well said. It is a religion with these wack-a-doo’s. They even use the same phrase Carl Jung did when speaking of belief in God. When asked if he believed in God, Jung stated that he did not believe, he KNEW. It was a matter of knowledge gained from experience.

Read his book. Gordo didn't "speculate." He wrote clearly and firmly that through his personal experience, he had concluded that a) the craft were certainly NOT of earthly origin and b) the government was certainly engaging in a massive cover-up.

"Speculation" had about as much to do with it as catfood has to do with parasailing.

Why would I have to search for CREDIBLE CONFIRMED EVIDENCE of the existence of Intelligent Alien Life and their penchant for anal probes? Such evidence would be so amazing that it would hit the Media like a speeding bullet. You couldn’t keep that a secret and out of the news. The fact that I have to search for such evidence all the more convinces me that none is to be found.
