UFO's - Do you believe?

Biggins · 08-06-2010 06:07PM #1

Just reading about Stanton Friedman (HERE), a man that stated "some UFOs are intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft, and this is the biggest story of the millennium."

Before anyone can say, here we go, we have another nutter (besides myself

), Stanton was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for companies like General Electric, General Motors, Westinghouse and Aerojet General Nucleonics.
He worked on highly classified programs involving nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets.
With 53 years of serious study apparently of the subject, he seems to know his stuff.

So I ask my fellow boardies - do you believe that (a) secrets are being withheld from us in regards to the actual existence of UFO's and (b) if they do actually exist?

mink_man · 08-06-2010 06:08PM

yes stevo hawkings said there is so there is!

That doesn't rule out the possibility of him being wrong though, does it? In fact, you can be a genius and still have crazy crackpot beliefs.

I don't believe secrets are being withheld from us in regards to the actual existence of UFO's, because I'm not a paranoid conspiracy-theory nut.

I believe that there are other life forms somewhere in the Universe; I feel like there has to be something somewhere because, as Douglas Adams put it "Space is big. Really big."
As to whether they actually travel around in flying saucers; nah, don't think so. Think that just comes from watching too much sci-fi.

Karl Hungus · 08-06-2010 06:19PM

I believe we're being lied to by our governments about whether or not the Knife-Wrench is actually practical and safe. It's pressure from the Knife-Wrench lobbyists.

bluto63 · 08-06-2010 06:22PM

I voted to bring back Bosco and nothing else.

Fratton Fred · 08-06-2010 06:23PM

Duh, there are 26 ships floating above the worlds major cities right now, don't you watch Sky News....(Or was it SyFy, I get those two mixed up)

Fratton Fred · 08-06-2010 06:24PM

Damn, I voted "I love Biggins". I thought it said Biguns.

Of course it's practical and safe. "Knife-WREEENCH....for kids!"

Owww.....

On another note: I REALLY like this poll!

mink_man · 08-06-2010 06:27PM

wow what a waste of time put into making the poll....

My name is URL · 08-06-2010 06:27PM

I don't think the full details and knowledge that governments (esp the US) hold regarding UFOs have been disclosed

Interesting video here from a former US legislator asking for the government to disclose info which he believes they hold - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrK2YgfjnHo

jd007 · 08-06-2010 06:29PM

ha! Best poll i've seen in a while!

On topic, yes I do believe in UFO's/aliens and also think they've definitely been here. After watching the disclosure project on youtube I do think the US government is hiding something from us.

Karl Hungus · 08-06-2010 06:29PM

alwaysadub · 08-06-2010 06:31PM

Best poll ever Biggins :pac:

i'm not sure about ufo's in the traditional sense of the word, like with little green men in them, but i do think that there is more than just us living in all the galaxies .

I voted "Don't cry for me, Argentina".

The_Kew_Tour · 08-06-2010 06:42PM

Why the hell so many polls?

No they dont exist just like Santa.

Mike 1972 · 08-06-2010 06:43PM

What a stupid question

Of course UFO's exist

Anytime you see something in the Sky and ask yourself "what the

is that ?" Youve seen a UFO

Once youve determined that it is a bird/a plane/superman the UFO becomes an IFO

ScumLord · 08-06-2010 06:45PM

There's no way the human race could keep this secret. If Aliens where talking to the yanks and any other country found out there'd be uproar, any country that would be speaking to them would want the deal to be exclusive. There's practically no way the aliens could play each country off each other because we'd do everything to find out what deal the others are getting.

Gossip, power and greed make secrets damn near impossible to keep.

Pherekydes · 08-06-2010 06:45PM

To be serious, since life has evolved somewhere in the universe, the probability that it has done so twice (or any other multiple of one) is equal to one.

You don't have to be a paranoid conspiracy-nut to consider the idea that Government's may wish to withhold information of that nature. Such an argument is silly, and reduces any chance of having a serious discussion.

Consider this.

The possibility of intelligent life existing outside of Earth is extremely high. The possibility of such intelligent life wishing to explore, by virtue of a curious nature of intelligent life - would also be very high. So the chances of life outside earth having visited us isn't beyond the realms of reality.

So with that in mind. We must then examine reasons for why a Government might supress such information? For one - to avoid mass hysteria.

Common arguments against my above points are as follows.

But how could they travel so far?
Even if they could travel such distances, why would they?

One would be naive if they thought that advanced intelligent life would be confined to our technology. Curiosity would drive them to seek out other intelligent life.

I'm not saying for sure that we have been visited - but nobody can say for sure that we have not.

Voodu Child · 08-06-2010 06:48PM

I believe it's highly probable that there is intelligent life on Earth, and I hope someday to encounter it.

Considering how vast space is and the millions of stars and planets throughout it, it's illogical to think planet Earth is the only place of life in space.

There certainly is some interesting videos of UFOs on the internet, not to mention the conspiracy around Roswell, area 51 and area S4.

Paddy Samurai · 08-06-2010 06:52PM

Unidentified Flying Objects?..................yea of couse they exist,to say otherwise is daft.

midlandsmissus · 08-06-2010 06:52PM

They exist.

If you think about it, it's so blatantly obvious they exist.
But we have all been conditioned to think of it as crazy.

Think of it this way:

Say Your neighbour tells you he saw an alien, what would your immediate response be? I'm betting it would be 'you're crazy!'.

But why - if you think about it logically there are bound to be other lifeforms out there. It makes more sense that there is than there isn't.

When there is something that you have an immediate set reaction to , such as 'that's crazy'....this is something you have been conditioned to think.

Try to think outside the box...

Antamojo · 08-06-2010 06:59PM

Of all the options in the poll I don't see Atari Jaguar.... WHAT THE ****?

Sea Sharp · 08-06-2010 06:59PM

I believe that they do exist but are more likely top-secret aircraft than extra terrestrial beings.

The reason they're being kept secret is that if any technology was introduced that removed the need for fossil fuels the whole global economy would grind to a halt and there would no longer be any motivation for us as a species to evolve socially.

And that would be a massive shame because the 'evil capitalist society' we all frown upon was the driving force behind the 21st century environment and this environment is a hell of a lot better than for that of any other people that have lived throughout history.

UFO's - Do you believe?

Are (a) secrets are being withheld about UFO's and (b) Do you think they exist? 1030 votes
