    The problem with stuff like Roswell (and religion) is people so badly want it to be true they suspend all critical faculties and accept any shaky 'evidence' as concrete fact.

    And as society moves forward and gets more more educated, this stuff gets halted in time frames of old.

    Ah, this is some completely new definition of 'confirmed' meaning 'absolutely not confirmed', is it?

    What we have learned about space is there are lots of planets around other stars that we have discovered that seem able to support life.

    If the universe is over 14 billion years old and our own star is 4 billion years old. What if life elsewhere in universe started 8 billion years ago and is intelligent life?

    As for Roswell, it is possible, one would lean more on the side of hoax but given what we know of the universe, you have to leave the possibility of intelligent alien life existing elsewhere.
    If it does exist, we are not in a position to know how intelligent.
    Stephen Hawking warns about sending signals into space looking for intelligent life, as he says it puts Earth at risk as they could be hostile.

    Given the size of the universe, and the countless number of stars with even more planets around those stars, it does raise the chances of intelligent lifeforms elsewhere.

    The hoaxers are actually really aliens setting up the perfect disguise.

    I don't doubt for one second there is life like us or waaaaay more advanced than us or primitive like us out there, millions of different versions of us humans or what have you.

    But this, this 'confirmed' film is just, whatever, it looks just like that mummy someone posted up above here. Believers really need to have a truck of salt at all times.

    Again, I fully believe the universe is teaming with life but the general lights in the sky etc, meh.

    For all we know we could be the last life forms alive and thriving right now with other civilizations dying out thousands or millions or even billions year ago, it's a big space.

    Next time, we'll also be having a serious and non facetious discussion on the plague that is troubling all our lives Vampire Killer Clowns, and confirmed footage of them distributing Gideon bibles to hotel rooms everywhere.....

    I actually don't think its possible to travel to planets in distance solar systems. The distance is prohibitive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    It's always kinda sad when these stories get debunked. Could ye not just give us one alien/nessie/chupacabra to leave a bit of mystery in the world ffs?

    Is it not the time that is prohibitive? With enough time you can get anywhere. It's the American dream after all.

    Isn't the chupacabra a rare, shy, ugly as **** Mexican dog like species of creature? Or is that a myth too?

    It's a myth in the sense they never found it but there's weird incisions on cattle and animals in the same areas it's "spotted". Like catte mutulation where cows get done in when some hick sees a UFO.

    Its more than likely a child mummy. Heres the website i got the info from

    Anyone get Batboy's opinion on this?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,554 ✭✭✭bjork




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    Ya, I'd say its a child mummy or something.

    Whats more shocking is the link under it:

    The fact that there is a similarity to the mummy is what piqued my interest.

    Who do you think first taught them those techniques? The ziggurats, the terraced pyramids, all those wonders of the ancient world, there was obviously someone guiding or overseeing it, some sort of architect if you will. We've evidence of pre-colombian trans-atlantic contact, who do you think facilitated it?

    No doubt their return in 1947 is as much a shock to them as it would be for us discovering that abandoned dogs in a ghost town had constructed some form of society. There are things out there we can't even imagine.

    The creature looks far to human-like or even vertebrate-like to be an extraterrestrial - two eyes, a mouth, a nose, a rib-cage, all in the same general area where you would find them in most vertebrates on Earth. Extraterrestrial life has to be completely and utterly different from that on Earth because they would come from a completely separate evolutionary path.

    If these images are real (which I highly doubt), then maybe it's more likely that they're highly evolved human descendants from millions of years in the future and somehow came here via time-travel.

    Are you familiar with Erich Von Daniken?

    I am. It's utter bilge.

    You do know there is a conspiracy forum for this kind of nonsense?

    Panspermia is my own personal belief, I definitely don't think we originated on this planet, it's far too young for such lifeforms as us to have been around. It's possible we're just another branch of the evolution tree, they could be our closest relatives.

    Alternatively it's a genetically engineered organism designed to be similar to us and intentionally disturb us.

    Arsemaggeddon, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. And we have plenty of evidence. Go to the religious form, they're the ones with need of proof!

    It is true... but old news. I saw this confirmed 100% on the front cover of the National Enquirer in 1997.

    Is that the issue with "man shoots ten foot butterfly"?

    Isn't this enough?
    Just this world?
    Just this beautiful, complex, wonderfully unfathomable, natural world?
    How does it so fail to hold our attention that we have to diminish it with the invention of cheap, man-made myths and monsters?
    :)

    At present certainly, though I'd never say never.

    Aerodynamics started out as little more than equations and theories on pieces of paper. The nature of wind resistance is such that the energy required to increase your speed is not linear, but geometric.

    So in the same way that we now consider the speed of light to be an upper limit, there were those at the time who had suggested that the speed of sound was an upper limit; that the energy required for any man-made object to exceed this speed in a given medium was simply beyond our capabilities.

    But as the understanding of aerodynamics improved, and crucially the discovery of better and better propulsion methods continued, it became clear that it most certainly was possible to engineer objects capable of travelling faster than the speed of sound.

    So while FTL travel certainly seems off the wall right now and there are books of equations which prove it can't be done, at the end of the day we're still in our infancy in terms of spaceflight and our overall understanding of the nature of the universe.
    In the same way that we were able to discover ways to "trick" our way into faster speeds using aerodynamics and better propulsion, it would be premature to declare that the same will never be possible for spaceflight.
