OK, need to take a pulse here, um, wherever your pulse might be, ALIEN!
I wonder when people will start accusing others (in the other political party) of being ETs.
Why, yes, The Monsters ARE Due on Maple Street!
More than anything, I think this Grusch guy has been pranked big time. Because as long as there are Gullibles, there will be Pranksters. See: Bigfoot.
Realistically, as somebody who hasnât deeply looked into this but just read some reporting:
I doubt weâve encountered any ET life. If we had, itâs even less likely weâd encounter it via crashed spacecraft. I fully believe ET life exists, but the probability of us being contacted by them is astronomically low.
Almost surely, our government is keeping some tech from us beyond our current understanding of whatâs possible. I canât imagine what it would be. Some sort of cloaking technology, something using quantum computing, etc. Some of the reporting on âalienâ technology could have been related to this.
I also gather that some of the eyewitness evidence is from one or more fighter pilots, who regularly undergo Gs known to cause hallucinations. As a prior hallucinator, I promise these can be absolutely convincing. If not for all the evidence from other people around me not seeing what I was seeing, I would have completely believed what I saw, and even then I wasnât completely convinced for a while.\
My son works in the âasteroid detectionâ project off of Uni of Wash. heâs a physics major and former lead data engineer at Amazon. Basically they get snapshots from various telescopes and satellites, mash them together, and check for any anomalous looking objects. They are concerned with just about anything of any size. From his descriptions, itâs hard for me to believe that there is no record in their data. They track stuff out quite a ways, and the granularity is always improving. Keeping the planet safe and all that.
And if any of you have read the SciFi novel âThe Three Body Problemâ, a trilogy about first contact, you are familiar with the phrase " The dark forest". This describes how alien Civ6 are most likely going to behave - like wild animals in a dark forest. Namely, you donât want anything to know you exist. If itâs something lower than you on the food Chan, then they are the prey, you are the predator. Donât alert the prey. If they are above you, then stay quiet and slink away. In either cas, donât let others know you are there.
I found that an intriguing framework. Why would any alien civ break the rule of the Dark Forest? Sending out probes and shit is a bad strategy.
+++ itâs the best Sci Fi book Iâve read in the past 20 years. Lthough itâs a very small sample on my part. Hereâs a link for those interested and who have the free time.
Three body problem
Interesting take with imo some truth to it
Since 9/11, Eghigian says the executive branch of the U.S. government and the intelligence community has accrued a great deal more power that has eroded congressional oversight.
He said politicians on both sides of the aisle may see this as an opportunity to regain some of that power.
This hung in my high school locker for 4 years, and then lived in my wallet until it disintegrated.
A condom??
And yet, isnât that exactly what we have done?
And I read that the interstellar objects that have been identified were identified because of how fast they were traveling. Yet our probes seeking to go to places outside out solar system are traveling relatively very slowly.
He was referring to âIntelligentâ Life.
