Storming of Area 51

Veritas Libertas

We're finally going to found to what's been happening there all these years......:eek: the Storming of Area 51 begins on the 20th.

2.1Million confirmed in attendance 1.5 million 'interested' according to facebook!

Or more likely people will turn up for a party, with a few arrests for drunk and disorderly.

With all the attention Area 51 has had in the last half a century would the yanks really be keeping their UFOs there? If they were ever there in the first place they’re long gone by now.

They just released tapes showing UFO's are real. No need to storm now.

There is life out there, just like we send craft to other planets, other planets are sending far more advanced craft here.

Infernal Racket

The surest sign that there are other life forms out there is the fact that they have never tried to contact us. Earthlings are pricks

More importantly do you think there was ever something there in the first place? :pac::pac::D

2 Dutch fellas were just arrested last week for trying to get in there and sentenced to a year in jail (but will be released after 10 days) Do people seriously think they will get anywhere near the place?

The festival thing that's supposedly organized seems like a giant scam, like a hillbilly fyre festival.

Well apparently it was just a joke among friends that caught world-wide attention. I thought most people were treating it sarcastically, but I guess not

Which turns into a good excuse to hold a party there. Why not who gets hurt.

Since almost every person on Earth now has a decent phone that can take clear images ufo sightings have gone to near zero, we are alone sadly.

And what about the footage released by the military in recent years?

UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object not Alien Space Ship, am sure loads of stuff is unidentified.

Of course UFOs are real. I saw something flying yesterday I couldn't identify.

Well apparently now they're UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena)

Not so, everyday there are UFO clips on youtube, they're non stop.

Very common now.

Here are some by planes

It's pretty well established by now that "Area 51" is and was just a testing range for US experimental aircraft.

Excluding optical illusions and mental illness much of the "hard evidence" around UFOs was also consistent with experimental aircraft: eg flying objects at heights and speeds in excess of any then declassified aircraft.

There are also fairly substantive allegations that parts of the US military and intelligence establishment deliberately spread UFO disinformation as a deception measure to maintain the secrecy of classified projects. See Ron Pandolfi at the CIA's "Weird Desk".

As the US is currently developing a wide range of new aerospace projects, from hypersonic missiles and the B21 stealth bomber to PCAS and stealth UAVs, it's only reasonable to see an accompanying uptick in such UFO disinformation.

The distances and time involved in interstellar travel are so big that the idea of an alien civilisation sending a spacecraft to observe us is completely impractical.

Furthermore, if they had the super advanced technology to actually build a craft that could transverse such distances in a practical timeframe, it wouldn’t look and act like something that’s just a small step in development on from our own technology. All the reports of UFOs are basically a testament to the limits of human imagination.

That’s not to say that I don’t think life exists elsewhere in the universe - I think it highly probable. I just think that the chances of us finding it or it finding us - particularly intelligent life - are basically zero because of the vast distances in space and time involved.

And no, wormholes aren’t an option. They’re fine for science fiction, but even if they are possible to create and maintain (which isn’t likely), there not something that a physical object would be able to use and survive as a physical object.

I don’t. I think it was advanced aircraft such as the SR-71 and F-117 being developed.

This is probably the best footage of a UFO ever.

RobbingBandit

The truth is in there

whisky_galore

Human beings are sh1tty observers, under and over estimating size, speed, distance etc, that's why there is a mass delusion about a prehistoric type aquatic lizard freezing it's ass off in chilly Loch Ness or the twattery that ghosts exist, pointlessly hanging around certain buildings and areas. If you half expect to see a ghost, a UFO or monster your brain may play tricks on you.

jimgoose

Area 51 is a highly classified military facility and these goobers would do well to stay away from it. And no, there are no green bug-eyed monsters there, it's much more dangerous than that.

WB Yokes

What to people think of that US navy video of the UFO and the speed it appeared to be doing?

NIMAN

I don't get this.

So this footage from 2017 is now all the talk among the ufo enthusiasts.

But I've been hearing since the 80s that there has been aliens meeting and chatting to governments since the 60s, and that there are even human sized aliens living among us.

So why the shock about the 2017 footage?

Given that the U.S. Navy is casually admitting that they have no clue what these things cruising over U.S. airspace are or who might own them, I'm pretty sure they're some sort of advanced American stealth V/STOL fighter that makes an F-22 look like a Sopwith Camel.

Yeah it has to be, whatever it is i cant wait to see it in action.

Exactly this. I don't think most people realise how vast space is. Take for example the fastest object humans have ever made - The Voyager One probe. It was launched in 1977, has been travelling at 11 miles per second ever since and despite all that it is only a mere 18 or so light hours from Earth. Now considering that any Alien civilisation will be at the very very least a dozen or more light years away from us, what kind of technology do you suppose they posses to be able to traverse those distances? If they are technologically advanced enough to have the ability to travel close to light speed or even to exceed it somehow then we would either be of no interest to them as we would be so primitive in comparison or they could wipe us out and we wouldn't even know about it. Either way, there are no little green men being interrogated in a meeting room in Area 51 or anywhere else for that matter.

Lol I clicked attending on the facebook event because I just thought it was hilarious and assumed it was a joke. I'm kinda amazed anyone is actually planning on turning up!

Pretty sure the American's know how to deal with these people.

Agreed. If they ever do turn up, it'll be in some sort of huge interstellar vessel(s), not some sort of winged wheelbarrow.

OK, I'll bite. The distances and time involved are completely impractical for sending a being with a lifespan of a human yes.

We have sent unmanned probes into space, to Mars and further afield. Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have already entered inter-stellar space. You don't think its possible races from other planets send similar probes around?

Many people would think it crazy to send a probe to Alpha Centauri if we won't have results for 141,000 years from now, and definitely there is no government funding for it. However, maybe other races have different motivations than how much will it cost and how soon can we get the data.

I think if they are carbon based life forms like us then their probes will be the first to reach here just as our probes have gone much deeper into space than any human has due to the fact probes aren't a living thing that needs to be kept alive and nurtured constantly. But the probes of such an advanced civilisation could probably take on the form of a gas or something. We wouldn't even know it was here. Hard to speculate with any accuracy of course because if we are just ants to them then we wouldn't even be able to comprehend their technology anyway even if we could recognise it as such.

I have an old family friend who was a fighter pilot in the early 50’s. He actually developed jet fighter maneuvers and tactics used even today. He operated on occasion out of secret military bases. He laughs at all the Area 51 hoopla. He says other worldly objects exist but weren’t located at Area 51 at the time, but elsewhere.

In fairness, phones are pretty crap at taking night time videos of the sky (at least in my experience).

That being so, I don't believe in any ETs.

Yes, and people see things that move in a way that is not possible with our current technology too, and again they could not identify it. So if you saw a helium balloon then great, but at least it didn't move as speeds not of this world.

They seem short of numbers for a raid. Hope then get in a free the aliens .

how good are you at estimating the speed of aircraft that may be many miles away? If you are in any way accurate you are a special individual because most people are crap at it.

Grab All Association

I'm no good at judging the size of crowds, but I'd say there's about 17 million people there

More reporters and undercover agents than actual people turned up

If they are miles away from the recorded observer, moving around as they do, at the rate they are seen in these clips, then you only really need to be accurate to around +/- the speed of sound (not accurate at all) to tell that they are moving unnaturally fast.
