Way Off Topic: Pentagon has "Off-World Vehicles.

[Palatine]

The Pentagon Has Reportedly Found ‘Off-World Vehicles Not Made on This Earth’

The latest UFO report from the Times says a defense contractor briefed the Department of Defense on otherworldly vehicles in March.

I read this earlier today- seems like it would be rather big news if true- no?

Posers. I've been drinking my way through crises for years.

The Pentagon has gone PC with ET naming now.

Idk if I believe in aliens but my friend and I saw a UFO at UConn while smoking cigs on the steps of Northwest.

How's this for an official state road marker.

 

[phillionaire]

I want to believe

 

[Adios]

I do believe. Roswell UFO is made of elements not on this planet. I believe "aliens" are a parallel race of beings who live with us here on earth, just far more intelligent and capable. UFOs can even go underwater.

Very misleading headline. The Pentagon's Off-World Vehicles are used, and not in working order.

By interstellar standards, this is the Pentagon's ride:

This would be bigger news if true. My take is it keeps our enemies guessing and confused as they have to spend and allocate resources while our intelligence community watches.

you sure they were cigs?

There's a documentary on Netflix called Area 51 and Flying Saucers that is pretty interesting. Guy who allegedly worked at Area 51 a while back and described in pretty good detail the inner workings of flying saucers as his job was to reverse engineer alien technology from a supposed crashed spacecraft.

It’s a very slow, controlled disclosure. The recently disclosed Navy videos pretty much confirm there are UFOs (in the literal sense) that are performing maneuvers and accelerations that are beyond understood technological capabilities. So, it means that the choices are: (1) an adversary has a huge technology leap over our capabilities, (2) we own the technology and it’s being tested against our own defenses without our personnel knowing or (3) it is of non-worldly origin. Worry about number 1, take comfort in number 2, and don’t worry about number 3, since they are likely highly advanced unmanned probes with ability to explore deep into space sent long ago. A civilization tracking like ours with only a few hundred years head start (a split hair in time) would have technology well beyond what we have.

Think of it this way... the universe is endless if you think we are the only creatures that’s rather naive

 

[Rewster]

I find it a bit unnerving that the government is finally giving up this information.
Almost feels like they are slowly preparing us for something in the not to distant future.

 

[HuskyFich]

the mathematical probability we are alone in this universe is pretty much zero.

There are approximately 200 billion stars just in our Milky Way galaxy alone. Each star could theoretically have a full solar system.
Also, they predict at least 100 billion galaxies in our universe and the universe is ever expanding.

Watch The Bob Lazar Story and Unacknowledged on Netflix, crazy stuff.

While contemplating the overall size of the universe and all that is out and it making me feel the size of a single electron in my pinkie roe compared to the size of our planet and what is the meaning of life and what is all out there peering down at us..........I'll still be aggravated if there is a surprise with Digggins' announcement today.

I have a friend at a car wash who said he spoke to a government insider who said these off world vehicles get 60+ miles a gallon but they require 93 octane.

Conspiracy Kitty says:
Damn, I am surprised that you figured that out. Well just keep scooping our poop and we'll get along fine.

 

[M.S.G.]

There's a great Twilight Zone episode that is basically a metaphor for how life on Earth is really viewed. There's a couple that get drunk and wake up in a town they don't know. As they try to escape they realize nothing around them is real, in the end they are trapped in a dollhouse with a higher being - in that case a little girl who oversees things and decides what happens.

I didn't view that from a religious standpoint (moreso because I don't believe in religion) I looked at is as if we are one big science experiment and they can interfere whenever they want but mostly choose to just observe.

Size is the key here. Even if there is other intelligent life in the universe, it is incredibly unlikely that we or any others would ever bump into one and other. The phrase the universe is expanding doesn't mean it is adding galaxies. It means the galaxies that exist are getting farther apart.

In any event, the notion that other life is a mathematical certainty, or even a likelihood, is currently not provable. We don't have enough examples of it to understand it. Until we do the idea that "well there are a lot of stars, so there must be life on at least one of the planets that likely surround them is, at best, an unfounded guess, and, more accurately, wishful thinking.

 

[Palatine]

Carl Sagan said that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And, so far, we haven't had a single piece of indisputable evidence. Until someone has a screw or gear of extra-terrestrial origin, I will remain skeptical. But I have hope.

This is not true, the fact that we haven’t bumped into them yet is the real head-scratcher. It’s called the Fermi paradox, and that we’ve been both sending and looking for signals for decades now and haven’t made contact is something that baffles scientists.
This being said, one of my favorite quotes (paraphrased) on the subject: “We’re either alone in this universe, or we’re not. Both are equally frightening”
This pic is of the“entrance” to Area 51 outside Rachel, NV a few years ago. Drove 20-miles into the high desert and got this pic before being chased away by a white truck. Cool experience and I’m no doubt on a government watch list now lol

This was a subject that I always found interesting. With so many eye witness accounts on and off the record, I believe there is something. You hear all the theories that UFO sightings are actually top secret USA technology that the government is testing and they actually push the conspiracy that they are UFO’s just to throw people off. I believe its a mix of the two. The government obviously has technology we don’t even know about, but this recent news about UFO’s also proves there are things out there our government/military cannot even explain.

To your last point, It really is amazing to think that when George Washington was President, other civilizations out there may have already had technology to be able to fly.

well, I guess if you don‘t include this planet, there is no Indisputable evidence of intelligent life in the universe. As I think I about it, you may be correct regardless.

Well, the other side of the argument about there being no other life out there despite all the eye witness encounters raises some questions obviously. Just based on the documentaries Ive seen, It seems like the 1950's and 60's was the "heyday" of UFO sightings and the start of the obsession with Area 51. My question would be, were there many UFO sightings well before that going back to the 1800's into the early 1900's? Is it just a coincidence that UFO sightings increased just as aviation technology around the world started to rapidly develop? Because that would support the theory that many of these UFO sightings are just advanced military technology that few people even know about.
