...Hal Puthoff, Powerplant Engineering. An expert on zero-point energy, a means of extracting limitless power from the quantum vacuum without violating the known laws of physics, Puthoff would understand how ET powers its craft. I quit right here. Excuse me, UFO community? Shouldn't this man be dead or richer than Bill Gates? Why should I take any of this nonsense seriously beyond this point? And what kind of human arrogance makes you think that we could even begin to grasp a FTL technology if it did exist?

What arrogance? The same arrogance that said traveling beyond the sound barrier was biologically impossible? Or that horseless carriages were either impossible or would alter your physical health at speed?
C'mon, give us a break. The technology is not yet there, but the concept of FTL is being worked out. Look up a fella named Alcubierre, and you'll find a whole different set of possibilities for FTL theory.
This goes back to my whole feeling on ET's - physics is physics, and behavior of ALL systems, including biology, relies upon it. The motivations of an ET will not be all that far removed from our own, other than he/she/it may not see that we have anything they need beyond raw materials. Their physics and technology may be more advanced, but not necessarily incomprehensible.

I'm glad you have ALLLLLLLL
OF REALITY
so tidily arranged within your own construct system. It must be either very boring or very peaceful between your ears.
I happen to think you are exceedingly wrong on this score. We shall see. No, I don't care to debate or drag out refs. You can find them and rant at them quite well on your own.
