I post this to show that this story is making the rounds. It appears that the force behind this story is the DOD (Luis Elizondo says nothing that hasn’t been approved by the DOD).
Hope they find hungry aliens that eat stupid people, we have plenty
I realize our science fantasy shows love to show all this lovely contact between alien races, sometimes even working together, sometimes at ‘odds’, yet rarely do you see entire planets or solar objects being destroyed.
Think about it: You have likely a thousand times closer relationship with ants or dolphins or even trees; tell me your plan to communicate with them before they decide that you're just too much trouble. The application of technology will be extermination not communication.
IF, by some grace of God, He sends to us people just like us, our first reaction should be to fire every single thing we have at them. Simply sharing the same air could easily create the most vicious epidemics we've ever experienced; something like Ebola might be a common vaccination among their people, making them immune and us wiped out in days.
There's really just no way around this. I know we crave for there to be something beyond us, above us, someone to take the journey with us. Heck, JUST the news of another entity out there would likely result in one of the deepest religious crisis ever. We argue over little points, imagine trying to rationalize another entity as one of God's creations, especially if they too believe they are made in God's image.
So, no, we've never had contact with an alien race. We've never been visited, and they certainly wouldn't give a flying rip about our petty nuclear plants or other ‘classic’ technologies. There will never be a pan galactic federation of aligned worlds unless we make it to destroy any other form of life we find.
Flights of fancy are wonderful, but the harsh reality is that it'll never happen in any of our lifetimes and it is questionable if it'll happen anywhere during the span of humanity. Yes, the odds say that life should exist out there. It also says that the chance is over billions of years and depending upon who you consult, humanity has been around for the smallest of fractions of that time.
The only thing that makes me question UFOs is the impossible (for us) travel times to the nearest foreign planets, given the mind-numbing distances involved.
Look at it from the other perspective ... If we could travel to neighboring stars in hours or days instead of centuries and millenia, our ships would be UFOs in their skies.
I say it’s the North Koreans. We should just wipe out North Korea before the UFOs do damage. If they’re still around, then maybe it’s the Iranians and we should just wipe out Iran. If they’re still around,... sooner or later we’ll run out of hostiles behind the UFOs. Hey, it’s a plan to deal with it.
No-such-thing. There is no life in the solar system other than on Earth, we can’t find it anywhere else. No signals, no messages, just blurry photos of hubcaps being thrown in the air. case closed.
Well i hope Trump makes a deal with them to clean up North Korea, let them matter transport all his weapons away.
Be careful what lens you use to interpret this world.
This UFO stuff culd be nothing but an attempt to distract.
That’s a relief. All this time I thought it was swamp gas caused by global warming!
They might be UFOs, but who’s UFOs are they?
They sure as heck aint from outer space.
The SR 71 was first flown when?
A UFO by definition means that the object is flying and we can’t identify it. Obviously there are UFOs. Is the unidentified flying object extraterrestrial simply because we can’t identify it? No, of course not, it’s just unidentified.
UFOs, in the sense that they are the product of extraterestials, are not happening. Much of it is pie pans on a string and meteors.
