To me this is like the people who say the pyramids weee built by space aliens. Because they can’t conceive of how ancient people could have moved ginormous blocks, ancient people must have been even more clueless.
How does stealth technology work? Who knows, must be aliens rather than someone educated and experienced in a very narrow specialty.
I think people who lean into the “ancient people weren’t very clever” are projecting a bit about themselves that they are not themselves very clever. If you are really honest with yourself the odds of you being the first guy to come up with, say, the pulley are pretty low.
Chuck Tingle makes a good living writing gay porn novels to that effect.
I thought Bigfoot was Chewbacca.
Yeah - it’s definitely these guys
And here’s a US Intelligence person showing their craft.
I’ve actually been seeing a lot of little craft of non-human origin this month too. I didn’t bother to retrieve any though.
Best of luck, tiny explorers!
Hey be nice to the potatoes.
Not even this is necessary. Governments are huge and full of plain old messy people, many of whom believe crazy shit. There is probably zero evidence of anything the least bit unusual, but this “whistleblower” imagines it exists because he wants it to. People make up stories out of whole cloth, without even believing they are doing so, all the time.
We always seek rational explanations for the actions and beliefs of conspiracy theorists, which is noble in intent. However 90% of the time there isn’t even a shred of a kernel of a hint of truth under it all. It’s just made up fantasies, full stop.
Not surprised, there are corporations who rely on non-human help to create other things
I’m the opposite of that X-Files “I Want To Believe” poster.
The idea of aliens (or some other mystery advanced race that’s actually of this world) upsets my view of reality too much, sad to say. If presented with hard evidence I’d believe of course, but I’d be in a weird funk after that for a long time.
I remember reading this account of a hunter who claimed to have seen Bigfoot-- he couldn’t go out hunting anymore, he didn’t even want to go on a hike in the woods, it completely altered his worldview. Whether Bigfoot is real or not doesn’t matter-- it was real enough to him at that moment that he started to question everything he knew.
you’re holding the molecule wrong…
Welp. Something is going on. I don’t know about Aliens from outside of Sol, though. There’s just no evidence these objects come from space (that I know of).
My first job out of college was working for a defense contractor at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque. I maintained and updated software which ran a whole suite of optical evaluation instruments (laser backscatter and calorimetry to name a few). We’d take all manner of optical measurements of coatings and surfaces and other materials for Philips Laboratory.
I was just a minor techie and never got my top secret military clearance, and every once in awhile they would bring in materials that were in fact top secret classified items of interest. I would have to leave the room while they ran the experiments. If the stages or the sensors broke down or the software needed to be tweaked, they’d carefully box up the samples, and let me in the room to fix whatever was broken.
So one day, a civil servant walks in with one of those security briefcases – literally the kind with the handcuff that you used to see in spy movies from the 70s. So this guy comes in with a briefcase handcuffed to his arm, and my boss sends me out of the room while they ran a bunch of measurements on various “materials”. Later I notice on the white board the acronym “BUETS” scheduled for that same day, so I asked my boss what it meant. He said with wry smile “Blown Up Extra Terrestrial Shit”.
To this day I don’t know if that was just a practical joke, an intentional obfuscation / misdirection, or actual flying saucer parts. You never can tell with these military types.
Seed ship - perfectly plausible!
