Why and at what cost?

[limblips]

Just suppose they determine UFOs are aliens. What the hell are they going to about a society that is so advanced that they have mastered inter-stellar travel? If they are here, why spend any time or money trying to prove it? If they have any plans for us there isn't an anally probing thing we can do about it.

The military's UFO database now has info from about 400 reported incidents

That's up from 143 incidents in a report issued in 2021. Officials partly credited reducing stigma around the issue for the new reports, many of which are older and went unmentioned at the time.

The History Channel which used to display shows on history went from reality shows to outer space aliens.
They believe everything from Easter Island to the Pyramids were built by aliens.

Now if that were so it would mean that aliens were here a thousand year ago left and never came back to build anything else or save us from Covid.
Some think they take a peek once in a while just to see what's happening.

They must have some sort of rule Like Star Trek to not involve themselves.
I have too many real things to worry about without speculating on aliens.
And I seriously believe that any space race of people would want to appear and speak to either Joe Biden or Vlad Putin. are to freaking dumb to find their way here

Ancient aliens is a good series to watch. I am sure there are civilizations much more technically advanced than we are in our universe. When was the last time we had any technological breakthroughs?

I believe all UFO's, those unidentified flying objects, are all man made. Since the speed limit of light and radio waves are fixed, and the closest possible habitable planet, which is not now, is 4.2 light-years away and been confirmed dead for quite a while, if it had been occupied with those of our level of advancements, they are long gone. And the earth being 4.6 billion years old, anything, or anyone, being further way than 4.6 billion light-years, we would never see or hear from them relative to our micro time-line human existence of about two million years here on earth. In addition, space being entirely inhospitable to life, unless an alien society manged to alter the laws of physics and account for all space radiation and deadly energy particles, they themselves would not be able to venture outside of their planet either. The reason astronauts are relativity safe in the space station, is because they are still within the safety of the earth's atmosphere and its magnetosphere which still blocks out most of the harmful radiation.

The Democrats and Biden must really be sucking if the progcult has to trot out UFO stories to distract us.

I'm not going to sign off on the speed of light being the absolute that it's made out to be. Our little solar system is already circling the universe at about a 135 miles per second, so would a laser shot ahead of us that add to the speed, or the opposite would a laser fired in our wake subtract?

Nor do I. It's just another boundary to cross. Wasn't that long ago that the speed of sound was impossible to break.

I do see issues with going faster than light, with things like vision. If you travel faster than than the light from the image, everything will be distorted or delayed.

ah ha!!...so that's what it was. I thought I'd had too many Corona's when, in reality, I'd just traveled faster than the speed of light.

Light Coronas, right?

 

[Gilligan]

I'm starting to figure this out..... So maybe the reason Corona Light tastes so bland is because the drinker is moving faster than the speed of light, which is faster than the speed of taste.

 

[AnthonyJames]

I'm convinced I'm an alien.

Every time I drive through Waldorf I can't help but think to myself, I can't possibly belong here. No f*cking way.

NO!
An experiment similar to that was conducted at a time that space was thought to be filled with aether and accounted for the conduct of light waves and gravity. The results measured the speed of light the same in both directions. The only possibly way of interstellar travel is via wormholes, if they exist.

But then last week there was a woman behind home plate with a LARGE SET of.......leopard skin uddercovers... what do I know...

Regardless of the Corona Light effect, the speed of your laser blast would stay the same. Its frequency, though, would change; increasing forward and decreasing backward; i.e., "the Doppelbock Effect". Or something like that.

That’s assuming that other life is like us.

Funny thing about light, it can't be seen, unless it's reflected off something, other than looking at the source.
