Americans would be ‘up at night worrying’ if they knew the truth about alien life, Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett says

Burchett — a member of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets — recalled that he was briefed two weeks ago “on an issue” about extraterrestrial life that “would have set the Earth” on fire and “unglued” the country if released.

When Finnerty played a clip of former Rep. Matt Gaetz alleging knowledge of alien-human hybrid breeding programs, Burchett stopped short of directly addressing the explosive claims. “I’m still a member of Congress, so I can’t really comment too much on what Matt said,” Burchett told Finnerty.

“Wait, seriously?” Finnerty slightly pushed back.

“I’m being 100% serious,” Burchett replied.

I hate that show!

“Other intelligent life on earth”

Nope can’t rule that out. Seems mighty unlikely, but no physical reason it couldn’t be true

“Don't mind us. We're just here for the Nickel-Iron and H2O. All of it.”

Which makes no sense what so ever.

You can find all of that in much purer forms free floating in space. Grab it, haul it to your space based processing factory, (solves the heat and pollution issues) and make what ever you want out of it.

The only movie I have ever seen that had the aliens harvesting a resource that made sense, Jupiter Ascending, was truly awful in every other way.

My point is, how do you know Burchett is telling the truth about the ‘briefing’

How do we know that you're not actually a govt. agent trying to discredit him on public forums?

[from occupied ga]

Good point about Tucker Carlson.

Paid service? Which one?

Many of the members of the House Oversight Committee's UAP/Disclosure Task Force who have SCIF access, classified briefings, and direct witness testimony seem to have concluded that "we don't know what it is, but it's not from another planet or star system."

So all this, "there are no aliens because of, well, physics," is a strawman argument.

I realize I am dating myself, but I still remember the Outer Limits episode, called The Galaxy Being. That dude was a two dimensional being, who traveled a long way. 😜👍 That was my favorite show at the time. 😊

Fusion? I’ll believe it when I see it work. What your describing sounds like a con to swindle investors. Get back to me when fusion becomes a commercial reality.

Its not the kind of fusion you are thinking about. It not about producing power, but heating plasma to produce thrust. A different thing entirely.

I proposed no solution, nor mentioned anti-matter, just mentioned a realistic possibility.

Sorry you did not like my post.

[RoosterRedux]

The prevailing view among many is that "something is here, we don't know what it is, it might be interdimensional or something beyond our current understanding. Whatever it is, it isn't from another planet or distant star system, for the reasons you have laid out well.

Or as I have said elsewhere, it might be a government psyop or even some strange form of mass insanity, or some combination of the two.

But, all that said, something IS going on.

[PIF]

You assume that humans know everything and aliens are no smarter or further advanced.

There’s a BS meter image, but no hubris meter image or I’d post it - pegged in this case.

[PIF]

STOP, YOU’RE KILLING ME!

Opps sorry if you died. Not.

they would need to harness the power of their parent star

Actually they would need to harness power of the entire Universe. Currently we use the power of repulsion to travel. It can only provide energy from one source. What we need to do is learn how to use the force of attraction. It draws upon the energy of the whole Universe.

and somehow overcome the issues with near light speed travel

In order to travel the speed of light or FTL, one need only to use the equation made famous by Einstein. An object can go FTL as long as it's mass is zero. Ghosts, for instance, can travel FTL.

I do believe in life in the universe, but I think our planet is kept isolated from the universe to allow the sin story to run its course. I think it is a necessary thing for God’s universe.

I am in agreement that any aliens we meet will be fallen angels in disguise.

You don’t!

The site would die, if folks quit opining on things they can’t do anything about...

[UCANSEE2]

I always wanted there to be alien life but I’m starting to think there really isn’t anything else out there

Well, how many places have you looked ?

[gnarledmaw]

Any present collection methods. It could still be classified due to subject matter but not necessarily just because of all previous collection methods.

For example, one of the things that I was peripherally involved in supporting were the KH-9 (BYEMAN codename HEXAGON), commonly known as Big Bird or KeyHole-9 missions. We are told that all of that was declassified in 2012 and much of it is used by scholars today.

The last Gambit missions had could see objects less than a foot. Any previous evidence for example now declassified KH-9 (1971-2011)records that showed aliens would have to be reclassified due to subject matter or it would "have to" have been released when the program was declassified.

Im not saying that there isnt evidence out there, only that there is a bit more to what receives a classification.

When I took plasma physics years ago the prof said commercial\usable fusion power was 20/25 years away.. and always will be! So far I’ve seen nothing that contradicts that statement.
