What is your view on UFOs?

You can't know that with 100% certainty!! And I'm not saying that isn't what would happen either, but you make some very definitive statements that you wouldn't be able to back up.

Yes, from our limited point of view, it may take that long as we'd have to travel at a snail's pace. But just because one couldn't imagine Aliens being able to use an Alcubierre drive, or the like, wouldn't prevent someone else from doing so, especially if they've had a couple more thousand years to fiddle/research.

I get what you guys are saying that anything is possible. I mean we're only living according to our own laws and our own understanding of it. Who knows what else is out there.

But it's just my opinion that absolutely nothing can travel that fast intentionally. Especially things like spaceships and whatnot. And nothing anyone says is gonna make me think otherwise haha. I'm stubborn like that.

We're not talking 1 000 000km/h which itself is ridiculously fast. That speed is absolutely bananas. We're not talking 2 000 000km/h or 10 000 000km/h. Let's take 1 000 000 and then add another 79 000 000. Now we're traveling at 80 000 000km/h. Eighty freakin million!! :p That is still not even close to the speed of light. If we add another 80 000 000 to that 80 000 000, we're still not traveling close to the speed of light even though we're now going at 160 000 000km/h. We need to add another 1000 (THOUSAND!!!!) millions to that 80 000 000 before we reach the (apparent) speed of light. It will pretty much take all the energy in the universe for just one ship to travel that fast I think lol. But I still don't believe for one second that it's possible. Don't even think any ship can travel even close to those speeds.

But even if it was possible, it would still take years to travel from one star to the next. It will take hundreds of thousands of years to travel from one side of our galaxy to the next and it will take millions of years to travel to the nearest neighbouring galaxy. My maths suck so bad so I don't know if I got all those numbers right lol. I think I do though.

As for warp drives, sorry but that's another thing I don't believe in. That's just pure sci-fi to make movies interesting.

And then wormholes - there is no proof that they exist and even if they did it would probably be impossible for anything to safely travel through them. They will most likely be extremely unstable and incredibly hazardous inside. Some believe that you could be stuck inside a wormhole for billions of years.

But yes, I understand that anything is possible, but we will never know.
 
Won't know yet ;)

Don't worry, I get the speeds that you're talking, and I just don't discount the possibilities as I like to try keep an open mind. Those are insane speeds that we definitely couldn't attain right now but 70 years ago if I told you about the Smartphone that is better than your ENIAC, and it fits in my back pocket... I believe what you're invoking here is possibly an argument from incredulity? And I puzzle that if you say you understand that anything is possible then why do you flat out disbelieve something, when you could remain in an unconvinced state until evidence is displayed/shown to either support or disprove the something? I do realise that I've not offered up any proof to say that these things may be possible, so there is that lol vOv.

See like Solarian there, no proof or evidence to validate those wild claims. Personally I don't understand how NASA or anyone else would know if the rest of us don't when normal people have access to powerful telescopes and cameras etc etc... Not all scientists with sophisticated telescopes work for NASA (or do they....? *shock horror*). I don't understand why some species that doesn't care about life would care about a ball of dirt when there are 100 to 400 billion planets in our Milky Way Galaxy alone. But it could be this way and there could be a teapot in orbit of one of Jupiter's moons too, but I do think it highly unlikely vOv

Anywho, here's a vid on the concept of the Alcubierre Drive, rather interesting. Ah lol, PBS Spacetime is quite ftw, and I didn't realise that they did this one until I went to find a vid;

I'll leave this here too, Joe's channel is also entertaining;

It's the simulation messing with us. It gives us radio silence, but also weird flying objects.
Seen one myself... a light travelling on the ocean horizon faster and lower than anything should be able to go.

I feel ya
 
The Utah video is 99% confirmed to be a Peregrine Falcon. Common in that area where the video was made as well. There's a lot of info on that specific video here:

Utah Drone video of UFO [Probably an Insect Zip-By]

[Admin: The Following video contains a summary of the key parts of this thread] Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDkqKa_NQAo A few days ago, a youtube video was posted on Reddit r/UFO's showing an object flying by a drone, with the description: I usually cover politics, but when Sam...

i use to watch the event horizon so much cause i love the idea of travelling through the universe in worm holes
 
I thought ufo's and aliens were inter-dimensional demons and devils?
Surely we have enough flat earthers here to have at least someone who believes that?

AI would probably handle it just like in our planes. They also wouldn't be traveling at light speeds if it was risky so if they are then they can already handle the risks. So it's moot to point out all these what ifs from our perspective and level of knowledge.

Same way we wouldn't have flying planes if we didn't have measures in place to stop them randomly crashing into each other or the ground.

Imagine telling someone 200 years ago whilst they were using horse and carts, long before the first plane was concepted or built, that you can fly a 400000kg piece of metal (Airbus A380) through the sky, control it, and also put 800 people inside it.

And that your tincan phone can do Excel, take photos, eMail, youtube, etc :ROFL: :laugh::laugh::ROFL:
 
I just clean my camera lense, photoshop the bug out.

Lets be honest if a real UFO lands on planet earth it will dwarf all news for 6 months, if it was created with dark money, there will be no news.

UFO's visit Americans, mostly south around Texas.
no TV News coverage there :ROFL:
 
not sure, cant ever identify anything.

surely there is more out there. would we even recognise it if we see it though
 
One of the biggest disappointments in my life is to never be able to travel to other planets to see new worlds.... I wish some form of extraterrestrial lifeform would make contact with us, maybe not in the apocolyptical way, more in the way of technological advancement other than what humans have already either acquired from crashed UFOs etc. Even offer ways to help people understand better means of preventing humans from eventually destroying this planet... but most importantly for us to be able to travel the stars

Just had an interesting thought. If we are being watched, something that would make them reveal themselves is most likely an all-out nuclear war as that would destroy most life on earth and make it uninhabitable. So we just need USA, Russia and North Korea to wreck some country to test the theory.

The closest you'll get is doing DMT. No jokes. Watch DMT: The Spirit Molecule.
