    You just keep posting wikipedia links that have absolutely nothing other than hearsay. If you really wanted to, you could see what Philip J Corso has said and debunk it with 5 minutes of research. Just because he was in the military with a distinguished career, doesn't mean he wasn't a bit of an attention seeking Walter Mitty in later life. This forum is filled with them.

    For example from your wikipedia page.



    Sounds good right? Until you look into them, it's almost like a walter witty type made these claims before it was easy to look stuff up.
    • Accelerated particle beam came into existence in 1931, nearly 2 decades before Roswell.
    • Fiber Optics was first demonstrated in the 1840s, an entire century before Philip J Corso claims it was reverse engineered from crashed Aliens.

    That's pretty poor. Two out of his five "revered engineered" advancements don't even fit the timeline. Then you have integrated circuit chips that's concept was invented in Germany in 1949 with even a patented filed, and then the first commercial use used by the British in the early 1950s. Why not the Americans since they "reverse engineered" it? Why would they tell the Germans 3 years after WW2 and let them patent this amazing alien technology, when they just did all the hard work?

    This is all absolute nonsense. You would have to completely disregard logic to believe this stuff. This (Aliens visiting earth) is not an evidence based conclusion but instead a belief system based on hearsay. You want this to be true because you want this to be true.


    Tsk, you can prove anything with facts.

    earth is a baby in universe terms... what about stars and planets billions of years ahead of us in development? 10 light years away to us, could be a 30 second trip to some aliens

    comparing a hunter to an Astronaut?!

    one picks up a gun and goes to kill what he can find, the other has does this...

    Astronaut requirements have changed with NASA's goals and missions. A pilot's license and engineering experience is still one route a person could take to becoming an astronaut, but it’s no longer the only one. Today, to be considered for an astronaut position, U.S. citizens must meet the following qualifications:

    A bachelor's degree in engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science or mathematics.
    At least three years of related professional experience obtained after degree completion OR at least 1,000 hours pilot-in-command time on jet aircraft.
    The ability to pass the NASA long-duration astronaut physical. Distant and near visual acuity must be correctable to 20/20 for each eye. The use of glasses is acceptable.

    Astronaut candidates must also have skills in leadership, teamwork and communications.

    NASA's Astronaut Selection Board reviews the applications (a record-breaking 18,300 in 2016) and assesses each candidate's qualifications. The board then invites about 120 of the most highly qualified candidates to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, for interviews. Of those interviewed, about half are invited back for a second round. Once the final astronauts are selected, they must complete a two-year training period.

    With NASA's plans for the future of exploration, new astronauts will fly farther into space than ever before on lunar missions and may be the first to fly on to Mars

    such is the level required to become an astronaut they are not going to make up stories for the craic

    you should read up on Ex astronaut Edgar Mitchell as well

    And also Gordon Cooper, one of the original Mercury Programme astronauts, who claimed to have observed UFOs several times.

    At least two former US Presidents (Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan) claimed to have seen UFOs. In both cases the sightings occurred years before they were elected to the White House.

    Reagan also told Spielberg this after seeing ET.

    “He wasn’t ushered out of the room. He was the President of the United States! Nobody could usher Ronald Reagan out of the room! It was in the White House screening room and Reagan got up to thank me for bringing the film to show the President, the First Lady and all of their guests… He just stood up and he looked around the room, almost like he was doing a headcount, and he said, ‘I wanted to thank you for bringing ‘E.T.’ to the White House. We really enjoyed your movie,’ and then he looked around the room and said, ‘And there are a number of people in this room who know that everything on that screen is absolutely true.’ And he said it without smiling!”

    There are, that's why they are called UFO - Unidentified Flying Objects.

    Oh for god/deity/ET life form sake.
    Have you not been reading the thread?
    He didn't have dementia, the aliens took his brain.
    They extracted it during a particularly invasive anal probing session and replaced it with their own tech.
    Ever since then the alien overlords have been slowly infiltrating the US administration.

    ET was released in 1982. Reagan didn't develop the early stages of Alzheimers until 10 or 11 years later. Hope that clarifies things for you.

    No they do it because someone has violated their airspace.

    It's a massive leap to just go "Aliens". It's the same concept in science as the "gap of the gods", as in the past (and present) when people don't understand something, they say "God did it" instead of using critical thinking and working on solving the problem.

    With you guys and unidentified flying objects, it's "must be Aliens". It's a lazy way of thinking.

    Here is Neil Degrasse Tyson talking on governments investigating ufos.
