Astronomer dismisses talk of aliens visiting Earth from outer space

Anyone fascinated by UFO sightings will be disappointed to learn that a leading expert has dismissed suggestions we have ever been visited by aliens from outer space. There may be life out there, apparently, but it is just too far to get to Earth by spaceship.

Following reported sightings of UFOs there has been renewed speculation that aliens may be watching us.

But Dr Christian Kaiser, of the University of Southampton, said it is unlikely any can have made it this far.

Some expert! I bet he doesn't know a damn thing about space aliens.

"However, the distances between stars in our galaxy are enormous."

Which is why you use the friggin' warp drive. As everybody knows. Sheesh.

What about the Eisenhower UFO treaty which stipulated that, if they would share their technology with us, they could mutilate all the livestock they want?

Well I’ve always been a sceptic in the extreme but when ‘scientists’ start telling us its impossible ... stand by. An unimagined breakthrough is nigh.

DEPENDS ON A LOT

OF ASSUMPTIONS

And a lot of . . . blind confidence in one’s assumptions . . . based on . . . next to nothing.

And kidnap a specified number of Americans . . .

which it was later found out they’d exceeded by several orders of magnitude.

Virtually all who have had any significant dealings with them assert that they lie, a lot.

Yet the globalist idiots trust them enough to obey them and imagine that the globalist idiots are going to end up on the top of a smaller heap via the ET’s help and direction.

What idiocy.

Satan must be gleeful.

I tried to warn them about setting off them high-altitude nukes in the 60’s....like setting off stobe lights for the whole galaxy to see...

“Hey - look at us - we’re stupid! Come on over and and make us slaves on your mining colonies!” We’re helpless to stop you!”

No matter - When the slaveships arrive with the armada, I got an application in to work as slavemaster in the breeding pens...good work if you can find it.

In a world that is 75% covered by water it a little surprising that nobody ever speculates that there phenomena might actually originate on our own planet(?)

Any alien stupid enough to waste time visiting Earth deserves to be ignored. The smarter ones know the Earth will be destroyed by global warming (or, if not, the best parts are already conquered by mexicans or muslims), and they would be wasting time to visit here.

Actually, the astronomer has a point. The idea that aliens are visiting Earth, traveling here in spaceships is very hard to swallow, based on the laws of physics.

Here's a description of the orb from the Canary Island case link above:

"As he watched the enigmatic sphere, it began to grow larger and larger as it began to move away from the island toward the town of Tenerfie. After reaching its ultimate size, it then dissolved into a small size before disappearing."

Ah, does this sound like a "spaceship". What space ship can grow in size, then dissolve? If you look at this report from a scientific point of view and follow the evidence, the evidence shows that the UFO phenomenom is a real event and that it's not caused by "spaceships". What's left?

The best guy I've read on this is Jacques Vallee, who's been advocating for a true scientific investigation of UFOs for 40 years. This is by far not the only case of UFO's not acting as physical craft, but as something else. Vallee throws out the idea that this type of UFO case could be some kind of holographic projection/transmission of mass. From where? That's a good question. Inter-dimensional?

Vallee warned that Science is setting itself up for its own rejection and loss of credibility. This astronomer is right, UFOs aren't spacecraft from another planet, but he can't take the next step and say UFO therefore don't exist. Vallee says, all it will take, is one undeniable, very public case of an UFO incident.

There are many reports of UFO/USO bases under the oceans.

Many reports of lit USO’s pacing aircraft carriers etc. . . . underwater . . . or above water then diving into the water near the ship.

Certainly a percentage of craft have long behaved as organisms.

Far from all do. A rather small percentage do.

Then there’s nanotech . . . which could also explain shrinking and expanding sizes of some craft and surveillance orbs.

IF there’s 3-4 key things we don’t yet understand about reality—the distance thing could easily be laughable.

IF there’s 3-4 key ‘short cuts’ rendering the distance thing a silly moot issue—it could easily be laughable from the ET perspective.

what do you make of UFO sightings? I’ve always wondered, could they be spirits/ spiritual apparitions of some sort, possibly? crop circles certainly are inexplicable anomalies, thats for certain.

The exact opposite is 100% true.

Objectively, the choice to believe or not to believe is just a coin toss.
