Not sure whether to be scared or satisfied

    Well I've posted stuff like this before and been ridiculed for it but even the most hardened skeptic has to accept this and pull their head out of the sand.

    NASA cut live feed of footage from the ISS. The footage has to be seen to be believed. Three craft leave the earth's atmosphere and proceed into deep space.

    How does this make people feel? I'm not sure whether to be happy at the vindication or appalled by the realisation we're no longer alone.

    Yet it never made the news?

    I've a sneaking suspicion you're going to be ridiculed for this as well.

    If you see my above post you'll notice that the Independent ran a story on it. No sweeping this under the rug.

    More than likely DARPA related than ET.

    The Independent has turned into quite the clickbait rag.

    In generations to come, small children sitting around firesides will marvel at tales of that time Ireland had two national broadsheets.

    SO a few blurry objects that could be space rubbish such as ex satellites now qualify as potential UFOs?

    You do know there is a conspiracy forum?

    Away with you

    Ah Cmon man that could literally be anything, from a glitch on the camera to an optical illusion, its a bit soon to say were not alone!!

    It's not a conspiracy theory. I'm wondering how people feel after this relevation.

    Do I really need to? You already said you were ridiculed for posting similar stuff before, and now you post an article from the Independent, of all places, and claim to have been vindicated despite having no proof whatsoever. So chances are pretty high that you'll get the same reaction that you got before. And from the posts here, it seems I was correct.

    Whats wrong with the Independent? I read it and the Times every week.

    Stop making me sound like a sun or daily mail reader.

    I feel like we're really missing something.

    All I saw was dim sparkles but OP seems to be sure it's proof of... something. It even zoomed in and confirmed dim sparkles of a few pixles.

    Conclusion:
    Clickbait

    If you follow the Independent link it is a better quality video.

    Where is the evidence of this? Don't get me wrong, I believe the universe is way too big for us to be the only living things in it but what you posted cannot in any way be claimed as proof of alien life.

    You'll have to ask NASA.

    Three blurry sparkles and "Why did Nasa cut the video feed" isn't conclusive evidence of alien life.

    Why didn't they cut the whole feed if there was something untoward going on? Why did they allow us to observe these "craft" for almost a minute before jumping in with the censor scissors?

    Maybe it was to lull us into a false sense of security. "Aha!", people like me would say. "Why didn't they cut the feed earlier?", we'd say. Thus casting doubt on the tin-foil hatters such as yourself; a double bluff, if you will.

    A cunning plan, NASA! And you would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for the tenacious Detective Reiver.

    Without wanting to drag this thread away from its noble topic, what, may I ask, precisely, is wrong with being a "sun or daily mail reader"?

    Both are august tribunes.

    They look like ice crystals to me. Now don't get me wrong here but I have seen 3 very strange unusual aerial objects in the past, one in the early 80's and two in the summer daylight in 2011. But regarding these objects from NASA, I'd put my money on ice-crystals. I saw these many times before on sts missions.

    Who cares if we're "alone" or not? We've come this far and we've been grand.

    It was probably that auld fella that was caught on camera yesterday dancing like a mad man after Westmeath won. He was probably out with his glow sticks, bouncing around.

    If I say 'I don't know' will you take it as evidence of aliens?

    I'd love to know if there are aliens. This isn't evidence of aliens any more than rustling in the bushes is evidence of Bigfoot. You do your cause no favours with this.

    There is a possibility that seeing that we humans send space-craft to other planets and the outer solar system, who is to say that these UFO's are not some sort of advanced unmanned craft of some kind sent from other distant star systems or of possible inter-dimensional travel ?. We're doing it, (except for the dimensional travel) so if there is another civilisation more advanced than we are out there then I'm sure they would be sending along their probes to other planets.

    Who knows until we catch one and study it.

    Why do we always depict aliens as being smarter and more advanced than us?

    How much of an anti-climax would it be, if we found aliens on a distant planet... but they were all less advanced than us? lol

    There's quite possibly both. How many earth-like planets have we found already, and that's in one tiny part of the universe. An alien civilisation could be thousands if not millions of years more advanced than us. It's something to think about, as well as their own technology structure. It's a very valid point.

    If we ever do find life on another planet, i fully expect it to be something similar to our bacteria.
