WASHINGTON - In the midst of the Cold War on several occasions, nuclear missiles at US Air Force bases were mysteriously shut down, according to US servicemen who said they witnessed the failure of the heavily guarded missile systems.
But they don't blame America's Cold War enemy, the Soviet Union; they say aliens from space did it.
"This was something Russia could have developed, but it turns out they didn't develop this and we don't have it either - to be able to shut down nuclear weapons with a beam of light," David Scott, a former sergeant in the US Air Force, told RIA Novosti at a conference in Washington on encounters with extraterrestrials.

Seems logically inconsistent to claim the speed of light is not a constant then claim nothing can go faster than the speed of light.
***Nothing with mass. It’s logically inconsistent to claim that nothing with mass can go faster than the speed of light but in the expansion phase of the big bang, most of the universe itself was travelling faster than C.
Such aggressive insults. No desire to debate politely.
If you want your posts not to be responded to, then use FReepmail. I’ve been at Chuck Yeager’s dinner table as well. You sir, are no Chuck Yeager.
I don’t demand. Go ahead and read through the posts where I point out the classical fallacies of others.
Weren’t you saying something along the lines of not wanting to hear from me? Even after posting along a thread I was involved with, responding to a post from a freeper to me... And I’m supposed to be the sick one here?
Do yourself a favor: Take a critical thinking class. It is only freshman level, it’s required for any bachelor’s degree these days. It will do you some good, and FR will be blessed as the result.
Read your won last sentence, little bully. You are becoming ... absurd.
Read your won last sentence, little bully. You are becoming ... absurd.
***OK, here it is: It will do you some good, and FR will be blessed as the result.
So, now that is being a bully, to suggest taking a critical thinking class that would do you and FR some good? And it’s absurd as well?
ummm, whatever floats yer boat and here’s my last sentence on this post:
May the Lord God bless you.
You’re a sick puppy, bub. enjoy the ride.
I have changed my mind. After observing your behavior on this thread, it turns out you are well described in post #160.

I think I will trust Kelly Johnson's 1953 sighting over your close-minded assertions.
As another example, a photon sent by a star when it was a million light years away might take 10 million light years to arrive simply because space/time expanded while it was en route.
1953, huh? Didn’t modern UFO sightings start in 1947? That would be the ones to look at in terms of the ORIgin of the phenomenon. Looking at data from 6 years later won’t give us as much information as the 1947 sightings.
Or we could go back to the 1890’s sightings of the 200MPH extraterrestrial wonder?
If you are all of a sudden willing to engage politely, I would suggest we start a new thread.
I'd certainly appreciate a ping should you decide to start such a thread.We have a decided advantage in that as well as thoughts and imaginings being held captive to Christ we can add 'personal agendas' to the list and therefore avoid being offended.We are so blessed!

***So if that photon were travelling at 20X the current speed of light, then it would have gotten there before the mass of space/time.
Did the Big Bang/ Ultra Inflationary early period of the universe last that long? My impression is that it was perhaps the first few seconds of our universe, not nearly long enough to form a star.
Wouldn’t it make sense to look at the speed of light during that epoch to be a rapidly decaying function? Then the mass of the universe isn’t going faster than the speed of light. And 15 billion years later, when mankind is obserfing the speed of light, it has every appearance of being a constant.
Or put another way, photons could not break the speed limit because they didn't exist yet - even though, in retrospect, we can use that measure (speed of light) as a constant to express how quickly the universe expanded in the Big Bang/Inflationary Model.
