    Oh there is still so much outside of Earth that is unknown.

    Oh there is still so much outside of Earth that is unknown.

    Absolutely no doubt.

    It’s estimated that there are more Earth-like planets in our universe than there are grains of sand on Earth…

    To put a tiny bit of perspective to that, my 336 excavator bucket at work has a 3 cubic yard bucket, which scoops 81,000,000,000 (81 billion) grains of sand IN ONE SCOOP.

    (There is roughly one billion grains of sand in a cubic foot)

    So there’s just an incy-wincy chance that we’re not alone mrgreen

    People that truly think we’re the only show in town couldn’t be more naive.

    On a clear dark night we can see 6,000 stars, which is less than a teaspoon worth of sand.

    Assuming their tech is extraordinary, travel at light speeds and probably hack into any internet security in the world w ease, may as well be pinholes.

    Knowing another species is out there that could crush you at a moments notice is humbling. This isn’t the movies where some farmer is gonna shove a jet up a ufos ars and save the planet….

    Hey B, I’m not a math whiz nor sand expert. To get that 81 billion number did somebody do the math & if so would that mean every grain of sand is exactly the same size? Or did somebody actually sit and count to 81 billion? That would suck if you lost count around 3/4 billion and needed to start over.

    I went with some nerd on Reddits calculations to get a starting baseline number. I can’t even keep count of how many beers I drink rotflol

    A funny for you beer drinkers.

    Husband laying on the couch:
    Honey bring me a beer before it starts.

    Wife: Brings beer.

    Husband 20 minutes later still on couch.
    Honey bring me a beer before it starts.

    Wife brings beer and frowns.

    Husband again 20 minutes later.
    Honey bring me a beer before it starts.

    Wife brings beer and says: Is that all your going to do is lay on the couch and drink beer today?

    Husband: Well I guess its started.

    Well, our most brilliant minds have deduced that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Why would and could any other beings have the capability to reach us in their lifespan since our radio waves have only traveled 150+or~ light years in distance. Hence they if they’re 150 light years away they would be just finding out about us and they won’t be here for another 150 years if they have the capability to travel at the speed of light??!!??

    You are making a presumption that other life is only looking for radio waves, and also the presumption that we know everything possible.

    Remember, the Stone Age ended just 5,000 years ago.

    Up to that point all we knew was how to make rocks into sharp pointy things to kill stuff to survive and reproduce.

    Hell, we just learned how to create and harness electricity a couple hundred years ago….

    Now imagine a planet that developed intelligent life before us and currently has a 500, 5,000, 50,000, 500,000, 500,000,000, or even a billion year head start on us (first life on Earth is estimated to have begun 3.7 billion years ago)

    Look how far we’ve come in the last 200 years, imagine what we’ll invent, know and learn in the next 50 years, let alone the next 5,000+.

    Well my theory is these UFO’s are running on fossil fuels getting like 200 miles per gallon. It’s no wonder the Government won’t come clean. What would we do with all those battery’s we are gonna have?

    If you drink 13 beers and squint just right Pelosi looks like a alien leader. coffee

    Somebody wake up Einstein and tell him he’s a Neanderthal and has it all wrong.

    Its possible their are ways to travel faster than light (worm holes) its possible we cannot, if you do not like the idea of space invaders be glad that barrier is there.

    He didn’t have it all wrong, just some of it (quantum particles).

    Speaking of Einstein, anyone ever see that Einstein series that was on History Channel I think? It was pretty fascinating. Not sure how much was embellished, but it was good.

    Look how far weve fallen in the last few years. Soon we will all blow each other up and it wont matter.

    I was going to say the same thing. The other thing to watch out for are the deepfakes and AI. What I have been seeing so far is absolutely terrifying.

    My theory is that the stuff that the military pilots are seeing, is actually of US origin. It’s the same type of cover-up that’s been going on for 80 years, first with jet development and then stealth. Super-advanced, top-secret technology that the government would rather have the public believe are not of human origin. Then the cover story writes itself. Also makes sense to test it in our own skies against our own aircraft and deny any knowledge of it– as opposed to risking some type of conflict with an advisary where it could trigger a larger conflict or at a minimum compromise the tech if something went wrong. Maybe the tech originated out of this world, but I don’t think what they’re seeing is ET out for a cruise.

    If they are our crafts, they would have to be unmanned as the G’s that would be experienced by some of the maneuvers described by the Air Force Pilot eye witness, would leave a guys stomach a mile behind them.

    Thunder I dont doubt our military has some impressive tech, but seeing UFO’s isnt reserved to just the US. There have been sightings all over the World so whose are those?
    Im not buying that we are alone in the solar system and I am quite sure those out there are far more advanced than we are.

    I think that is not just possible, but probable. And I also think aliens are probable as well, tbd if they actually reached our planet or not, but seems likely since David Grusch (US Air Force Intelligence Officer) testified under oath that we had recovered non-human biologics with the UFOs.

    To quote James Gregory, “if there are intelligent life forms flying around in UFOs, why in the hell would they land in a pig farm in Arkansas?”.

    LMAO!

    It doesn’t take me 13 Beers for Nancy Pelosi to look a whole lot worse than any Alien Leader I can dream of. Then again, she does look a little like the Predator from the Predator Movies and is also just as evil.
