Oh yeah? We’ll see who laughs when you get an anal probe in the middle of the night.

Re: ...Once that’s plugged into the Drake Equation, you’re looking at maybe one in a trillion galaxies that might have intelligent life, if you’re lucky. And by lucky, I’m giving you 50 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE leeway.

Well, that's real white... of you, Kev!

We... are so confused!

As if a civilization able to master space and time to the extent that they can cross the great void between the stars would bother to come to Earth and stick things up people rectums.

If they do it, it’d have to be for the laughs. :p

And since your post was #2, what specific discussion were you referring to?
***Directly from the article:

The 19 former pilots and government officials, who say they have seen UFOs themselves or been involved in probes of strange flying objects, told reporters their questions can no longer be dismissed more than 30 years after the US case was closed.

THESE 19 PILOTS. What they saw are military aircraft. Now go and read the book. Educate yourself.

However, instead of a steady, straight trajectory as all the satellites I'd seen before in orbit, this one was juking all about moving in a rough northeast to southwest direction.

I think you were probably seeing a launch vehicle (rocket) tumbling around in low orbit, presenting different parts of itself to the sunshine as it tumbled. I've observed many of those over the years. They indeed appear to be jerking around as they move.

I’m inclined to think that what crashed at Roswell was an advanced military aircraft.

Does it make sense that Super-Duper Advanced Aliens come across the galaxy with their advanced technoloty and come here to stub their toe and crash? No.

Does it make sense that a military prototype would crash near a military base and get covered up by military personnel? Yes.

Occham’s Razor.

Read the thread, it’s worthwhile reading.

That is the best explanation I've heard so far--

My cuz Wick says it was all that tequila... I drink while fishing that made me see the thing juke about.

I do, however, believe there are some true unintelligent beings out and about--

Such as... Charlie Waffles!

Now playing on CBS!

I ate a UFO at McDonalds just the other day. [UFO = Unidentified Frying Object]

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Damn! I remember that series from my childhood.

Pinging the list...

The "Martian crinoid fossil":

I'm holding several genuine crinoid fossils right here in my hand -- and I don't see one (or a section thereof) in that photo...

Gadzooks, I just did... and the tequila works quicker!

You’re a fast reader.

Note that by spotting you 50 orders of magnitude, that is 50 zeroes in the number.

And 10^-50 is the traditional mathematical definition of being impossible.

[Bender2]

The beauty of the Drake Equation (N = N* fp ne fl fi fc fL), which even Frank admitted, is that you can plug in just about any figures you wish--

Of course, by the year 3000... we know life exists on Omicron Persei 8 and other such worlds.

Baloney. Produce evidence, please.

Baloney now responds to voice commands ?

Must be new fangled alien technology.

“Might it be of interest that one of the last threads I tried to post (several years ago) was a UFO story involving one of the astronauts? Pulled.”

The list of people who back this effort would amaze you.

Generals, Admirals........Astronauts (more than a few)...etc.....

re: post 56

Well then....The good Lord sure has wasted a lot of real estate....no?

I never totally forgot it and as a very young kid, some eps did give me a few nightmares.

There was a rumor on one those DVD sites that PUFO "could" be in line for production/release. I read once an episode was shown on TV Land as one of those fan favorites.
