"They're here...eh?" Topic

Well that explains a lot. There are plenty of people I have longed believed MUST be from outer space!

So does this guy hang out with the mayor of Toronto?

Just checking.

"Then" it ventures into the incredulous???

Paul Hellyer doesn't have a shred of evidence. He is just a loud mouth who seeks attention. I know that and I'm an American.

And it was on Russian TV and we know how reliable they are.

Makes as much sense as Thetans.

I was in the library the other day and struck up a conversation with a very old man in their used bookstore. He started telling me about how he was a 'UFO researcher'. At some point he turned his lecture on the girl who worked in the shop, at which point I thought, 'Oh no, poor girl!'. I was free to leave but she was trapped there with the nutty guy (who was now listing all the varieties of aliens and which planets they came from).
To my surprise the girl came right back at him with her own UFO sightings and revelations.
When I left the two of them were still rattling off various bits of trivia about our alien visitors.

And here are two of them, with a tribute song to their beautiful new homeland of Canada:

…and the chorus sums up my impression of the interviewee.

You've been the TMP Lounge on Friday nights……and you have to have a former Canadian Defense Minister tell you about it?????

Been there, SLISHED that….

I'm interested in what "other areas of the Cosmos" we've been using thermonuclear weapons in…

Thank god for the LED lights. My Christmas tree would have been crap without them.

I think that last paragraph explains some of the posters here on TMP.

You mean you only just figured this out…?!

"Hey, Sarge, can I have the quantum keys to the four-seater Pleidian saucer? You had it last week, so that means it's my turn to enjoy some proper FTL capable transportation when running errands!"

Perhaps good for model railroads, and Christmas trees, but the LED flashlights are crap, so I think the aliens are holding out on us.

Yep, aliens are definitely amongst us.

As evidence, I cite the Olsen twins as prime examples.

As seen, with their alien/human camo pheromone screens working normally:

With their camo screen pheromones turned off (sorry, couldn't get the direct pic to show for this image, for some reason, but it is worth a look. A bit scary.):

Exhibiting part of their strange, alien mating ritual:

And finally (probably not safe for work – hence the link, instead of the pic), breastfeeding their larvae offspring:

Me thinks that picture that is not work safe is a fake.

They really do not have much when it comes to the breast department.

Really flat chested.

They are very rich though.

Around $300 USD million rich.

Agent K already went on record saying that's where we get our tech from, so this isn't news.

And we know Men in Black never lie. So now we know where agent Paul Hellyer gets his data from.

well, obviously not -- or if he claims to have any, it's almost certainly "pay per view" only. But "UFOlogists" do tend to count say-so as evidence. Particularly the say-so of (usually former) government officials.

Do former astronauts count?

Makes as much sense as Thetans.

hey now some of our best friends are from Theta!
What's that honey? They're from Thebes not Theta?

NEVER MIND!

Our universe is so massive that it would almost be statistically impossible for Earth to be the only planet to have intelligent life.

Ah, the time honoured use of statistics to tell untruths.

The universe is also so massive that expecting to meet intelligent aliens has the same odds as dropping two grains of sand into the Pacific ocean from orbit, and expecting them to settle next to each other on the ocean floor.

I believe that Dan 055 hit the nail on the head.
Even if there are 80 some species---if you gave every person on earth a random lottery number---and had 80 that ended up the same---and those 80 persons found one another without any outside help---then you may be approaching the odds of some advanced culture arriving at Earth.

Where is the big advantage or perk? Move to Earth and use your advanced technology to live a life of the idle rich?!?!

Why not just land a ship in the middle east oil fields and threaten to release the information on a new clean alternative energy, unless large sums of gold/whatever are paid.

Why would the Aliens leave behind the benefits of technology anyway?
You see the romance of the period re-enactors on stage or at local fairs, but to really step back in technology where a simple cut can get infected.
Alien medicine, schools, whatever--why leave that all behind and move here--or we just need to find out which "people" are taking all their vacation days in Peru.

I'm off to Peru…..isn't that where a talking bear is from?

One also wants to note that many at least apparently very rational people are quite keen to point out that since we only have a single data point (life exists on Earth, that is), we cannot really do any probability calculations or statistical interpolations as to the existence of life elsewhere in the cosmos.

And some take the opposite approach (kind of anyway) and argue that emergence of life, or emergence of complex life, or emergence of intelligence, or all of them, are so statistically unlikely events that Earth is really rather close to being unique in the universe, never mind our galaxy.

We've only been playing this game for a few thousand years and the universe is how old?

Where are they?

I reckon there's other life out there. Whether it has been so lucky as to reach 'sentience' our planet has is another matter entirely.

My argument? Simple, we exist, the chance that this single planet is, literally, the ONLY planet with intelligent life when we don't even know what our closest exoplanet's actually look like is a big leap away from having any faith.

As to where are they, heck, for all we know it could be HUMANS that are actually the most advanced intelligent species!

Mmmm… Nuts.
