“Finally someone with brains speaking out about this fictionalized UFO nonsense.”

Damn, as I always say, I wish you had been around to reassure Reagan, who says he saw one, and at least half of passanger plane pilots who see them all the time, and military pilots who have to battle with them, at times.

And since when does a Freeper automatically, wholeheartedly, believe a government official?

Recent alien “disclosures” look like a CIA psy op, probably to distract from Biden corruption.

was asked by FOX10 Phoenix last week if she had “seen spacecraft made from outside of this world,”

Her answer ("No") is probably true.

I pose the same question to members of this forum: Have you seen spacecraft made from outside of this world?"

Note that the question is not "do you believe that such spacecraft exist?", but "have you seen them?".

They may well be a CIA psy op, but this is what they don’t want you looking at:

There are three big problems with alien life.

1) Space. The distances between stars is vast. To go between them you must travel in *multiples* of the speed of light (tachyon speeds), or the equivalent of “jumping” between spaces without passing through them.

2) Time. The Milky Way galaxy is about 25 billion years old. An intelligent species may exist over many millions of years, yet not in any way will its time overlap with another such intelligent species, again, close enough to matter in space.

3) Annihilation. At irregular intervals there are cosmic events, like supernovas, that will sterilize large areas of their sector of space. Any species within their kill zone will just die.

All of these “problems” are easily solved with wormholes/portals—natural and/or artificial.

In addition an advanced alien species could use DNA and nanotech to morph into any form they want.

Imagine our tech in a thousand years—then try again in a million years.

Using our current limited understanding of physics and other sciences to “limit” what alien technology can do is absurd.

No one--I mean no one--is suggesting that extraterrestrials are flying here in nuts and bolts "spaceships" from distant galaxies or stars.

That suggestion is a strawman fallacy.

Alien visitations are impossible due to physics. Speed of light is an absolute limit for both information and physical objects. The whole UFO business is just the MSM blowing a smokescreen to distract from the utter dishonesty of the Biden crime family.

Of course there are the idiots who believe this stuff, but they also believe Elvis is alive and well somewhere, that Democrats are there to help, that climate change is caused by people, that EVs are a good idea, that the Cortez nitwit and her numbskull buddies are honest, etc.

People talking about the impossibility of spaceships flying here from distant galaxies are like people in California in the 1800s complaining that traveling from NYC to LA in 6 hours will always be impossible because steam locomotives cannot exceed speeds of 65 mph.

The word "stoooopid" comes to mind.;-)

“Speed of light is an absolute limit for both information and physical objects”

Lol.

In a hundred years this will be viewed as ridiculous as claims in the 1800s “man can never fly because he does not have wings”.

Seeing aircraft or the appearance of an aircraft that you don’t know, doesn’t mean the first answer is creatures from outer space.

Something unknown is operating in our airspace. Based on the volume and quality of the witnesses and documentation, that is almost irrefutable. The capabilities are superior to ours and in many cases defy our “known” laws of physics. Are these things from space ??? Nobody knows and perhaps one day we will find a scientific explanation. For now however, we can only guess.

“Nobody knows”

Lots of folks know—they just don’t want to share with you:

Your post said not a word about aliens from outer space.

However, the Representative from Tennessee said the government had records dating back to 1898 concerning UFOs. That is separate from UFOs making appeareances in literature from thousands of years ago.

Say hello to your buddy Elvis for me. I don’t discuss scientific stuff with the clueless who get their “knowledge” from reading science fiction. But I’ll give you a squeaky toy to play with: the collapse of the wave between quantum linked particles is at least 10,000 times faster than light.
