Unless ftl, intergalactic wormholes or whatever other magic is a thing travel is probably limited to within the Milky Way. The Milky Way is ~100,000 light years across, so moving at .1 lightspeed(extremely fast but not magic) gets you across in 1 million years. The closest galaxy to ours is Andromeda which is 2.5 million light years away and there's nothing in between, it's a whole next level of vast and that's the absolute closest one.

sure, okay, but there are free-floating planets not bound to solar systems within the galaxy, and asteroids made of blasted planet parts composed of every element we can think of, and construction in space is obviously far easier than on a planet, so i'm envisioning a species that can do the things we see can construct anything it needs in space anywhere, why do anything here?

the video itself sure does look like a high-altitude balloon catching the last light over the horizon.

the description is more interesting than that, but it's not a great video on its own.

could a self-assembling self-replicating probe that communicates with copies of itself and some source via quantum entanglement project physical copies of itself ahead of itself, like by self-assembling and then harvesting energy and using that to propel a seed of a future self forward faster than it is currently moving, and proliferate throughout the universe, traveling and self-assembling along the cosmic currents we've observed moving entire groups of galaxies?

I do kind of hear Gina as female, but that might just be because I associate the name Gina with female gender. They didn't give me any magazines at first, then they gave me all sorts of materials. It hink they do that to figure out what turns us on.

one way or the other, its shaping up to be a weird summer ya'll. i like the truehistoryofearth stuff, its got that truthiness vibe. obviously wacky larp, but it ties in with a lot of weirdness going on and sits as a nice explanation for why things like disclosure is happening now. if not spy drones, what the hell are they doing? natgeo docs like the traveler account and the throwawayalien account talk about is a great explanation.

Incident

1. The incident began when the First Officer, looking across to the left side of the cockpit, saw a yellowish white light descend into view from above. He first believed that it was a meteor and began to say so when it suddenly stopped near the same altitude as their aircraft. The UAP/Light then projected an illuminating beam of bright, white, light on their aircraft, and appeared to take a collision heading.
At this moment the Captain also saw the beam of light projected onto their aircraft from the UAP/Light. Both crewmen, in the belief that an aircraft with its landing lights on had turned onto a collision heading with their aircraft, took a defensive attitude and prepared for evasive control inputs.

As they prepared to avoid the apparently approaching UAP/Light, the beam of light illuminating their aircraft ceased, and the UAP/Light suddenly accelerated to the same speed and heading of the aircraft, maintained separation, and paced the aircraft. While estimating distances is difficult the Captain, a former tanker pilot experienced with night-time flight operations, suggested that the UAP/Light maintained a distance of approximately 1-2K ft from the aircraft. Near the minimum allowable separation of 1,000ft.

2. With the immediate threat resolved the Captain and First Officer had the opportunity to look more closely and they realized that they were not looking at another airplane. The Copilot described the UAP/Light: “It was a brilliant yellow white plasma object teardrop shaped!” The Captain exclaimed, “Platillo…., Platillo…” (“saucer”, implying “Flying Saucer” or “Platillo Volador” in Spanish). The pilot mentioned that there were no navigation lights or other features associated with airplanes and that the light seemed to have a tail. At this time both crewmen had decided that they were witnessing something unusual and outside of their direct experience.

I have seen the aliens folks, and you know, we talked about many great things. Truly beautiful beings, I told them about wicked Hillary and the corrupt democrats, who stole the election from your president, Donald Trump, your favorite president. Folks, we're gonna build a big, beautiful federation with the aliens.

i think you can only quantum entangle with a particle in a place you’ve been, not where you’re going. unless we’re talking about higher dimensions i guess

i wonder if this could be made to work with a huge permanent magnet, and a relatively tiny superconductor. If only there was some way to check to see if the tictacs were cold!!!
