syntaxfunction posted:Kind of weird that you think there's a binary belief system here. Like there's no middle ground of "you all sound insane and keep promoting obvious hoaxes please provide actual concrete evidence" or "I believe in aliens but I wouldn't cite encounters as proof or support the endeavours of a lot of obsessives" I guess? No encounters mean aliens don't exist. Encounters are no proof either. Anyone who claims otherwise sounds insane to me, so they are insane or a hoaxer. This is the middle ground. Why can't everyone take the rational middle ground like me.

I had a dream alien ships made themselves known, and I was on one. I was able to confirm it was real because i pulled my phone out and it connected to some alien phone service and had the appropriate alien isp icon.

Hell I'm skeptical that UFOs have anything to do with extraterrestrials and I full on believe the universe is so vast it's way more unlikely that there isn't extraterrestrial life, but space is really really really really big and dangerous and tries to kill everything in it so the notion that we're being visited is one of the extraordinary claims that requires extraordinary evidence deals.

Only one I can think of is Mike West. It isn't the skeptics that killed my belief in UFOs it was the true believers who spent hours validating hoaxed videos and the "I the know" always have things that would shock you but they can't say or find a way to anonymously leak it in such a way that there is actual proof. Using secure drop zones to drop off in context papers. I think that the likelihood of getting any disclosure out of the five eyes is slim to nil. Even Nato countries. Also disclosure isn't eye witnesses, hypnosis, or any second or third hand information. Basically a non faked version of what the Peru mummies.

Well yeah, naem's counterexample is a hypothetical event which (as far as we know) has never happened outside of scifi, but "alien enthusiasts jump to crazy conclusions on insufficient evidence" happens a heck of a lot, it's dumb as hell to say both sides are on equal footing. The modern UFO craze started in the late 1940s but in the 75+ years that people have been trying to capture indisputable evidence of their existence they haven't come up with one single piece of worthwhile evidence. (There were actually earlier UFO fads, back in the late 1890s there were many reports of mystery airships made of wood and canvas, some of which were said to have come from Mars. Note that there were a bunch of early scifi stories in the 1880s featuring fanciful airships similar to those that were reported.) The bigfoot craze has been going for at least 65 years and the hunt for Himalayan yetis/abominable snowmen has been going on for over a century now and they also haven't found any indisputable evidence. The modern Loch Ness monster craze kicked off in 1933 but even though there's now houses and motels all along the lake's foreshore and 24hr livefeeds of the loch from multiple viewpoints they still haven't come up with any compelling evidence, etc etc etc.

Or keep them as pets. It's a huge business opportunity. Like, imagine you have a woman/guy over and you show them your alien pet fish aquarium. Definitely getting laid that night.

clearly they will be poached to extinction if they taste good, and only the most insanely wealthy could afford elon's rocket tax. prob can't even survive in the earth environment. Might be nuts levels of pressure or temp or requires bizarre salinity. i'd be interested to find out if they're same dna as us and reevolved their version of eukaryotic metabolism, coulda been some planet developed bacteria and they got meteor impacted all over the whole system. Or they could be related at some point after prokaryotes. Or it could be they aren't related at all which would be the option to make weirdos really get bent outta shape.

Someone brought up that mick west and nasa reached the same conclusion on go fast because they both pull from the same public data. Thus, the AARO and ICIG must have even better classified data so they dismissed it outright.

It could be that there's really only one way to make life, with DNA and proteins. If so then it's a 50% we can chow down on the suckers, depending on whether they went for right-hand or left hand chirality on their proteins. To be fair we'd still be able to eat them either way, just not necessarily digest them. temple posted:Someone brought up that mick west and nasa reached the same conclusion on go fast because they both pull from the same public data.

Is it the same? Or all different? Or a mix of the two (like intra solar system exchanges)?

sending a mission to an alien biome is also insanely risky to the aliens. What if there's a single rear end germ that makes it and fucks all their poo poo up!? also chirality might be preferential somehow due to some abiotic process, or reverse molecules are more or less effective than the ones we got now, besides just operating different.

p sure some drugs still work if they're chirally flipped, but have different effects, so it's not as simple as a coin flip imo
