Yea, right. Did it ever dawn on these wizards that the systems may have just failed on their own?
Golly Bert, that thing just shut down all by itself! Must have been them aliens they keep talking about!
Aw now come on now Willy, the aliens have no idea what is here, I mean they just walked across the border yesterday!
Ain’t buyin’ it.
Sounds like something the West Wing Clown Show of Felon/Cretins would come up with.
Paging Art Bell...
Unless we believe large numbers of military personnel who were chosen for their jobs based upon their strong grasp of reality were somehow made hysterical, then the reality of extraterrestrials is a given and their technological capabilities are real ... and we can eventually do likewise! That makes us very dangerous to the future of interstellar civilizations ... unless we somehow ‘grow up’ before we reach interstellar travel capabilities.
Of... course, they did.
Vodka.
Besides, after seeing our teenagers, honestly, who would know the difference?
Where’s that graphic when you need it - “I’m not saying it was aliens...but....it was aliens.”
Its just a suggestion, why not broadcast into deep space for help?
Ask for an outside source to come in and round up all Moslems.
What happen to them I care not for, they are a nuisance and a threat to everyone else.
They are the ones that have the utmost fanaticism of using nuclear power against anyone who opposes their ideology.
So do it now or face a world dominated by Islam with half a million orbiting nuclear weapons aimed at everything conceivable.
I did it on a lark.
I’ve seen the sort of electronics used by some of those old systems. Tube filaments burn out, as do contactor windings, especially those sourced by the low bidder.

I doubt aliens give a hoot whether Earthlings blow up the planet or not.
Go ahead and call me Space Cadet, but this is old news and, by the way, very well documented.
I can believe it. The aliens are always making my light bulbs burn out. Catnipman shakes fist: DAMN YOU ALIENS! LEAVE ME ALONE! LEAVE MY LIGHT BULBS ALONE!
Time travel does far less violence to the current understanding of physics than does interstellar travel. Humans from 100,000 years hence actually have a vested interest in visiting and making some changes or taking samples. It explains why they are avoiding DC/London/Moscow and visiting remote areas.
I’m not claiming it’s actually happening; just pointing out relative liklihoods.
This guy is stupid...everyone that knows anything about computers understands what caused this—it was gremlins.
Drug test overdue.
