All About UFO's

[Zgrado1970]

How do you explain his prolific output of both fiction and non-fiction books then?
I've read three fiction books in the Alien Hunter series. And now I'll start the non-fiction, from the beginning. The ideas in those three books aren't exactly typical human thinking.

The ideas are pretty run-of-the-mill thinking for individuals with significant mental health challenges.

Don't want to ruin it for you but the take away is there's a lot more nutters in the world than you'd hoped.

I am under no illusions about the general proportion of nutters - even on this side of the pond.

They walk amongst us.

Weren't we supposed to have a tell-all mind-blowing release of all the hidden UFO knowledge by now?

I think we just got it in the form of the Louis Theroux clip. Who could fail to be convinced after that?

Yes, and the tariffs were supposed to make us all fabulously rich soon after they went into place. And we're going to finally find out the cause of autism in 6 months or so. I think we know what these types of political claims are worth.

Yeah, like, around the beginning of the new year.
Kind of funny that all of that hype and excitement just kind of petered out, isn't it?
Seems like that's been happening fairly regularly since... ahhh... about 1947.

The hype still is going. There is a new Congressional sub-committee formed this year to investigate UAPs, among other things. There also is a new documentary to be released, "The Age of Disclosure", with most of the former government personnel who have been in the limelight, as well as some others. I haven't seen it.

But, excitement is fading. Many are getting tired of just hearing stories. At this point the only thing that is going to move the needle forward is indisputable evidence. I am not optimistic it exists. Even if it does, I doubt it will see the light of day.

Yep, pretty much this. While there are certain things certain people say that could indicate "big things" if they were referring to what we'd hope they were referring to, but there just isn't anything, and I mean anything, tangible enough to reasonably put trust in that possibility.

Not only do we not have anything tangible, we have nobody referring to anything specific and tangible.

I mean I'd want to hear "We have half of a gravity drive from a crashed alien ship and we got 1/8 of it apparently working and it's in a bunker in Nevada." Instead we get "Non human biologics! <very meaningful eyebrow motions>"

 

[mhardy6647]

we used to have a couple of non human biologics...


(too bad nobody can see my eyebrows)

^ Awwwwww

You might just get what you wish for:

Fascinating!!! ... Stealth black.

They also have a stealth black USS Enterprise

A more Orwellian Newspeak phrase was never uttered in cause of complete bullshit. (Well done.)

What?

The only aberration from "normal" here is that he is channeling the extraterrestrial Korton rather than the Holy Spirit. If it was the latter then this would have been a bog standard, run-of-the-mill service as attended by tens of millions of people every week.

The difference is traditional religious ceremonies were designed by people who knew exactly how to create a particular psychological experience that is both solemn and profound.

Whereas 'Korton' has been derived from some sci-fi serial he saw back in the Thirties, and is risible.

Now... this.
This is interesting.
Detection of dimethyl sulfide in the atmosphere of an exoplanet (and a large-ish one at that) that, in the galactic scheme of things, isn't even very far away (120 light years).

Astronomers Detect a Signature of Life on a Distant Planet

Further studies are needed to determine whether K2-18b, which orbits a star 120 light-years away, is inhabited, or even habitable.

Pfft!

But yes, people seem to be contingently solipsistic and hardwired to conflate their most thoughtless and stupid emotional paroxysms with profundity by default.

I thought it sounded familiar - I remember coverage of the 2023 study.
Some non-paywalled coverage:
https://www.astronomy.com/science/k...-sulfide-in-its-air-but-is-it-a-sign-of-life/
Notably it covers a couple of recent findings pointing to non-biological dimethyl sulfide sources:

A year ago, researchers reported a detection of DMS on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko — hardly a location brimming with life. (The team found the signal in archival data from the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission.) And in September of last year, a team of researchers reported that in lab experiments, they were able to produce DMS by shining UV light on a simulated, hazy exoplanet atmosphere. This suggests that the reactions between a star’s photons and molecules in a planet’s atmosphere could provide a nonbiological way to produce DMS, again challenging the idea that the gas is a clear sign of life.

isn't even very far away (120 light years).

Far enough to know we'll never get there while any of us (or even our grandchildren) are still alive.

Well, yeah, but... in the great scheme of things, right around the corner.
