Let's say that pic is legitimate (haven't done any research to say otherwise), what made you go from UFO to alien invaders? That looks like a leap of faith to me, which is truly illogical.

Aliens are not going to 'invade' as in, take control, kill off humans on Earth.

 

They have no need for such primitive behavior.

 

Your wonderful government may try to scare you in the future with that nonsense.

 

Dr. Wernher von Braun predicted the alien invasion ploy would be used in the future.

 

 

Leading engineer and consultant at space program and missile defense (Carol Rosin) worked with Wernher von Braun (1974-1977) as his spokesperson at Fairchild industries. She claims he revealed to her a sick plan to weaponize space using staged alien invasion as an excuse.

When I was a Corporate Manager of Fairchild Industries from 1974 through 1977, I met the late Dr Wernher Von Braun. At that time, Von Braun was dying of cancer but he assured me that he would live a few more years to tell me about the game that was being played - that game being the effort to weaponize space, to control the Earth from space and space itself.

The strategy that Wernher Von Braun taught me was that first the Russians are going to be considered to be the enemy. In fact, in 1974, they were the enemy, the identified enemy. We were told that they had "killer satellites". We were told that they were coming to get us and control us-that they were "Commies."..

 

"Then terrorists would be identified.

 

Then we were going to identify third-world country "crazies." We now call them Nations of Concern. But he said that would be the third enemy against whom we would build space-based weapons.

 

The next enemy was asteroids. Now, at this point he kind of chuckled the first time he said it.

Asteroids- against asteroids we are going to build space-based weapons.

And the funniest one of all was what he called aliens, extraterrestrials. That would be the final scare. And over and over and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. "And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens and all of it is a lie."

I will rephrase that since you missed my point:

Luc2k, there are plenty of proof and evidence left on youtube.  Why not just look at the evidence instead of shutting all of that out and then argue with us asking for evidence?  Open your mind for just a brief instance and then watch some of those videos.  You don't have to believe it but just watch it for the sake of not repeating your statement.  Yes there are a lot of fake crap on youtube but there are also some real proof there too.  There are tons of idiots who try to hoax and screw up people's logic.  But if you use logic in the right way, you know which is a hoax and which ones are real.

^ And just what 'logic' makes other intelligent life coming to Earth impossible ?

 

Dismissing every photo, video, eye witness to alien life, is truly illogical.

'UFO' photos can be evidence of alien life visiting -- if that is what you mean.

 

The craft defying our accepted 'laws of Physics' is evidence.

 

There is also witness testimony of interacting with other beings.

 

Believing in aliens visiting us, based on the evidence we have -- photos, videos, and serious eye witnesses -- when you have not personally seen the craft, is a leap of faith.

 

It is up to each one of you  to decide for yourselves what is credible and real.

 

At least examine the evidence out there.

 

In the end, only you can convince yourselves on the believability of Aliens on Earth.

 

Many do not really want to know that we are not alone.

The burderden of proof lies with those who claim X is proof. Please show that any video on youtube is 100% legit, then add to that proof by providing the evidence that it is in fact alien life. Pointing to a video on youtube does not in any way count as evidence for alien life, that's not how proof works. 

 

Luc2k's question is an extremely valid one, a UFO does not in anyway equate alien. a UFO is nothing more then "unidentified", period. So asking how one goes from an "unidentified" flying object to alien is a simple question. Yet Hum and we can only assume yourself, given your post here, even to suggest that something is alien without actually providing actual evidence is in fact illogical.

Hum added me to his ignore list cause he can't stand opposing views or views that show the failed logic in his thinking, but Ill answer this just the same.

 

A photo of a UFO does not in anyway equate to alien life. It's simply a photo of an "unidentified" object, that's it and nothing more, period.

 

An photo does not show an accurate view of what the object is doing, so it can't really show that it's somehow defying the laws of physics. It's nothing more then a still image. Even a video of an object that might show what appears to be behaving in a certain way, may not be showing the actual movement of how it's actually behaving. You still have to prove the video is real and not computer generated or altered. Before you can claim some object is breaking some laws of physics, you first have to prove the authenticity of the video first.

 

Iv had this argument with Hum a number of times. Eye witness testimony is not reliable evidence. Even in the court of law, it's not used on it's own but as supportive evidence, not as hard evidence. Perception is subjective, what one person sees, may not be what the person next to them sees. Our minds play tricks on us and our memory can easily be fooled or manipulated. In terms of scientific evidence, it's at most used as supportive evidence and even then it's open for debate. 

 

Neil Degrasse Tyson makes the point very clearly, it's worth the 9min watch here. He talks about the value of eye witness evidence at the 3min mark.

 

 

Hum's own words works against him. "In the end, only you can convince yourselves on the believability of Aliens on Earth."

Hum is a female.

 

She believes that UFO/Aliens, that is fine... it's her beliefs.

 

My dad believes UFO.... I don't.

 

I believe that almost everyone has the video/picture editing program to create UFO videos/photos based on their editing skills.

 

I don't see the UFO crap in my area...  so I don't believe that crap unless I see them in front of my eyes.

 

Since there is a place called Area 51 in the west... that makes me think that people there create RC crap that looks like UFO stuff.  I am not sure if Area 51 is real because I have not been to that place yet.

 

I rather see stuff with my eyes that I can believe.  Not the internet or videos... I don't care unless they are proof and intact....  not the replica crap.

Ok, what she believes is not the issue, it's the constant claims that X is evidence of alien life without actually providing "real" evidence. I don't care what one believes, but if you make a claim about something, then it's up to you to provide said evidence. Photos, videos and eye witness testimony is not evidence and that's what Im pointing out.

I understand that...  I am thinking that people are using the UFO/Aliens photos/videos for entertainment...  

 

For example, Bigfoot. Jesus movie,, all that stuff you seen on videos.

 

And all that stupid 'Just for Laughs' shows that you see on TV...  

 

That's the reason that people are creating the photos/videos for entertainment.

 

For example: I got an idea... then I made a video with something that I had an idea... so when I am done with the video editing...  I called you up and say, "Hey, Guess what I saw? Come on over and I will show you the video"  You came by and went like "Wow! When was this?"

 

After you went home, I laughed about it which you think it's real.  

 

:rolleyes:

If you think this is purely for entertainment then you're very wrong. Sure there are some that see this as an entertainment and there are some that have learned to turn this into a business but there are plenty who people believe all sorts of things that defy rational. Read through some of the threads in this section, you'll see that there are some people who take these things very seriously, almost to the point of needing help. Look up the thread about the guy who claimed to be under control by the gov. They supposedly control him using satellites to beam information into his head. It was a big thread a while back and going off his posts, he truly believed the nonsense he was spewing. There are people believe in aliens, reptile people, ghosts, ect, and this forum has it's share of those people. Half the world believes in god/s, angles and demons, you really think aliens are to far out there of a concept to believe in?

I wasn't actually asking for proof of existence. Just wanted to know what exactly made Hum go "other intelligent life" when looking at another random disc in a picture.

I'll try to keep it short since others have addressed this in depth already. UFO photos (and videos) are proof of UFOs (excluding fakes, hoaxes and people not knowing what they're looking at), not of any life forms from other planets or a different time.

 

I wouldn't trust eye witnesses with something like this, not even multiple ones when mass hysteria is known to have occurred. I wouldn't even trust myself without hard evidence. People make themselves believe all sorts of things for various reasons and some don't stop even when absolute evidence is staring them in their face.

 

I would welcome the knowledge of their existence, but all we have right now is dodgy speculation.

 

Anyway, all this is beside the point Hum. All I want to know is what in that picture you posted made you go "I'm looking at other intelligent life." and not children throwing discs like in the video above?

There are a lot of evidence and then there are hundreds of high ranking officials who used to work for the government that they were train to lie to the public.. they come out clean and show the proof and evidence and yet you say the picture of UFO is not an evidence.  Kinda hard to understand.

Then show the hard evidence, not some video on youtube or some random statement by someone who "claims" to have worked for X who also happens to be telling "his story" by way of a book. You're making the claim that there is evidence then the burden of proof is on you to show it. If there is so much evidence as you claim, then it should be easy for you to point to X and say here is the evidence that's supported, tested and backed by mountains of science behind it.

You can provide evidence that proves that you are human because you are raised to believe that. What if, just if the aliens have presence here on earth but they were raised to believe that they are human and not know their true identity and their "parents" are monitoring us through them?

Yeah and doctors never noticed....

 

As I mentioned in another thread, it is the human ego that allows us to believe that aliens must look like us and have the same or similar biology.

Someone with a technology to come here from far far away can certainly manipulate DNA to produce their off-springs or heck even create a "human" in lab and implant them among us. Again there is no ego here. If I were an alien then that is how I would proceed.

So now we are down to explaining what we don't know with assumptions.

 

The same people who thought the world was flat did the same thing.

 

Show me some evidence of this tech!

 

You say no ego is involved and then say this:

 

 Again there is no ego here. If I were an alien then that is how I would proceed.

 

Ironic.

 

That is just another classic case of the human mind trying to apply human thoughts, methods, and ideas that it would use itself on something alien.  Our minds cannot fathom how an alien would think, so we can only assume it would think like us.  So how "you" would do it is pretty irrelevant.

You can provide evidence that proves that you are human because you are raised to believe that. What if, just if the aliens have presence here on earth but they were raised to believe that they are human and not know their true identity and their "parents" are monitoring us through them?

A fair point. For all I know I am one of these aliens, and I've been provided with false documentation to say otherwise. That still offers the question of, "why?"

Likewise for this documentary - just to pull it back to the discussion - I fall back to my initial idea that while they make fair points on a logical ground, they offer nothing in the way of evidence. Why can't it be a logical, logistical discussion without the need for extraterrestrial life getting involved?

I stand by my original posts. What the videos point out makes sense, but because they try and pass themselves off as being "from another world" definitively and without evidence to back it up, it turns towards the cheesy side.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.
    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine by Sayan Sen Building a PC is undoubtedly difficult nowadays but with this epic combo deal, Newegg is trying to make it as easy for you as it is possible. If you are making a new one or even upgrading an old system to a new Windows 11 device, this combo bundle is truly unmissable as you get AMD's Ryzen 9800X3D, a compatible X870 motherboard, a 240mm AIO liquid cooler and finally a Samsung 990 PRO SSD all for under $1000 (purchase link under the specs table down below). This should beat out the newly launched Steam Machine from Valve in terms of performance and performance per dollar especially if you are willing to set Linux up on it. Essentially with this combo you will get the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-core 3D V cache CPU, Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD, the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX Motherboard, and finally the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240. Thanks to that massive vertically stacked L3 cache, the X3D desktop processors, including the 9800X3D, also come with the benefit of not needing fast memory. Even DDR5-5600 should be plenty for it. The technical specifications of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D are given in the table below: Specification Value Architecture Zen 5 Cores / Threads 8 / 16 Base Clock 4.7 GHz Max Boost Clock Up to 5.2 GHz L1 Cache 640 KB L2 Cache 8 MB L3 Cache 96 MB Total Cache 104 MB CPU Core Process TSMC 4nm FinFET I/O Die Process TSMC 6nm FinFET Socket AM5 Default TDP 120W Max Temperature (Tjmax) 95°C Thermal Solution Not included Memory Type DDR5 Max Capacity 256 GB Memory Speeds 2x1R: DDR5-5600 2x2R: DDR5-5600 4x1R: DDR5-3600 4x2R: DDR5-3600 PCIe Version PCIe 5.0 PCIe Lanes (Total/Usable) 28 / 24 USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) 4 USB 2.0 1 Graphics Cores 2 CU RDNA 2 Frequency 2200 MHz DisplayPort over USB-C Yes Overclocking Unlocked Up next we have the tech specs for the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI Motherboard: Specification Value Chipset AMD X870 CPU Support AMD Ryzen 9000 / 8000 / 7000 Series Desktop Processors Socket AM5 Memory Slots 4 × DDR5 UDIMM Maximum Memory Capacity 256GB Memory Support DDR5 8400–5600 MT/s (OC), DDR5 5600–4800 MT/s (JEDEC) Integrated Graphics Outputs 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL (up to 8K 60Hz) 2 × USB4 Type-C with DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 (up to 4K 60Hz) Expansion Slots PCI_E1: PCIe 5.0 x16 (CPU) PCI_E2: PCIe 3.0 x1 (Chipset) PCI_E3: PCIe 4.0 x4 (Chipset) Audio Realtek ALC4080 Codec 7.1-Channel USB High Performance Audio Supports up to 32-bit/384kHz playback on front panel S/PDIF output M.2 Slots 4 × M.2 M2_1: PCIe 5.0 x4 (CPU, 22110/2280) M2_2: PCIe 5.0 x4 (CPU, 2280/2260) M2_3: PCIe 4.0 x2 (Chipset, 2280/2260) M2_4: PCIe 4.0 x4 (Chipset, 2280/2260) SATA Ports 4 × SATA 6Gb/s RAID Support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 for M.2 NVMe storage devices Rear USB Ports 4 × USB 2.0 3 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 2 × USB 10Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C 2 × USB4 40Gbps Type-C Front USB Headers 4 × USB 2.0 4 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 20Gbps Type-C LAN Realtek 8126-CG 5G LAN Wireless Wi-Fi 7 (M.2 Key-E module pre-installed) Supports 2.4GHz / 5GHz / 6GHz bands Up to 5.8Gbps Supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4, MLO, 4KQAM Internal Power Connectors 1 × 24-pin ATX Power 2 × CPU Power Connectors 1 × PCIe 8-pin Power Connector Fan Headers 1 × CPU Fan 1 × Combo Fan (Pump/System) 6 × System Fan RGB Headers 3 × Addressable V2 RGB (JARGB_V2) 1 × RGB LED (JRGB) Other Internal Headers 1 × EZ Conn-header 2 × Front Panel Headers 1 × Chassis Intrusion 1 × Front Audio 1 × TPM 2.0 Header Debug Features 4 × EZ Debug LEDs 1 × EZ Digit Debug LED Rear I/O Ports Clear CMOS Button Flash BIOS Button HDMI 2 × USB 40Gbps Type-C 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C 4 × USB 10Gbps Type-A 3 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 4 × USB 2.0 5G LAN Port Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Antenna Connectors Audio Connectors Form Factor ATX The Samsung 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more.

    • I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.
    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
