I enjoy an old kook fanning a good UFO controversy, but his reference to an "intergalactic" war shows he lacks even a rudimentary understanding of the universe. The galaxies are so far apart as to make any trip much less a war highly unlikely. Any alien visitors are far more likely to be from our own galaxy. So his ignorance loses me right there.

And if he thinks we can build anything likely to be a threat to a civilization that can travel from another star system, much less another galaxy, we definitely do not have a shortage of good engineers. Why, however, are we merely planning a base on the moon, when we should be capable of launching an attack on Vega?

Untrue. We got a "stargate". There's a TV show about it. And our government JUST might start a war with the Goa'uld.

Maybe he meant 'intragalactic'. After all, those grey aliens from Zeta Reticuli are pretty nasty.
