Do you believe in UFOs & flying saucers ?

Word is out that a clear photo of a triangular shaped vehicle emerging from the ocean will be released in the next few days. This was talked about a lot several months ago and is well known of in the intelligence community. Hopefully not another Batman balloon.

You mean this guy Avi Loeb and his sponsor/benefactor, Russian billionaire Yuri Milner?

Here's what some are saying about Abe Loeb and his 'theory that we've been visited by alien life':


"'Oumuamua' is not an alien spaceship, and the authors of the paper insult honest scientific inquiry to even suggest it," tweeted Paul M. Sutter, an astrophysicist at Ohio State University, shortly after the paper published.

North Carolina State University astrophysicist Katie Mack suggested to the Verge that Loeb was engaging in a common practice in which an astrophysicist poses a theory that they might not believe. “Sometimes you write a paper about something that you don’t believe to be true at all, just for the purpose of putting out there,” she told the publication.

“A shocking example of sensationalist, ill-motivated science,” theoretical astrophysicist Ethan Siegel wrote in Forbes.

Moncrieff had a lad on recently who was talking about his study of that object. Ruled out any chance of it being an extraterrestrial “space craft”.

‘Oumuamua (1I/2017 U1) is the first object of interstellar origin observed in the Solar System. Recently,
Micheli et al. (2018) reported that ‘Oumuamua showed deviations from a Keplerian orbit at a high statistical
significance. The observed trajectory is best explained by an excess radial acceleration ∆a ∝ r−2, where r is the distance of ‘Oumuamua from the Sun. Such an acceleration is naturally expected for comets, driven by the
evaporating material. However, recent observational and theoretical studies imply that ‘Oumuamua is not an active comet. We explore the possibility that the excess acceleration results from Solar radiation pressure. The
required mass-to-area ratio is (m/A) ≈ 0.1 g cm−2
. For a thin sheet this requires a thickness of ≈ 0.3−0.9 mm.
We find that although extremely thin, such an object would survive an interstellar travel over Galactic distances of ∼ 5 kpc, withstanding collisions with gas and dust-grains as well as stresses from rotation and tidal forces.
We discuss the possible origins of such an object. Our general results apply to any light probes designed for
interstellar travel.

Back to the topic....

Do you believe in UFOs? Simple logical answer is yes. But not the crafts of different worlds. Nearly 99% of the flying objects I see I cannot identify, I assume they are planes, they look like planes, they move like a plane....

Do you believe in flying saucers? Simple logical answer is No. Consider all the data out there, and not just the nut case stuff. Look at it from a scientific point of view, the very suggestion that an alien civilization that has mastered space travel, set off to Planet earth, and then just plays hide and seek in the sky is an affront to the very life forms that made it here.. Common sense has to prevail.

Of course there is other life in the Universe, that's a given. But they, or nobody else has ever visited the Earth.

So where is everybody?? Quite simple answer to a difficult question would be; If you were to row out into the middle of the Indian Ocean, remove a teaspoon from your pocket, scoop out a spoon of water and examine it..... You will see no visible signs of life - Therefore, the conclusion must be, that there are no other life forms in the Indian Ocean.

The spoon full of water is all we know about the Universe at the moment..... The size of the Indian Ocean (Space) is beyond our comprehension.

The vast majority of the western world carry mobile phones now. We have access to instant high resolution video footage, and have done so for over a decade (Note - Talking decent pixels here)

Yet still no clear footage of these ariel anomalies exist.. (Note I stated the word 'clear')

Sure that's one possibility but in this case I doubt that the US airforce will claim something as unknown if its a foreign adversary. On the other hand if it's China we're all screwed. The radar data on some of the encounters indicate speeds of up to 80,000 feet a second.
