Oh no I totally get that. Those are two hugely distinct topics.Vela wrote:Not really. Science simply requires evidence to test a hypothesis against, and so far we have none. Pretty much any astronomer (astro)biologist will admit that life is likely to exist in the universe, and probably in this galaxy. There is an enourmous amount of resources, stars and planets are common, and complex chemistry and molecules needed for life as we know it are frequently found in star forming regions. The scepticism regarding aliens on earth is not scepticism regarding life in the universe; it is scepticism that they are here, now. Absent a body or a piece of tech or comprehensive footage, the alien encounter stories are functionally indistinct from giant sea monsters, ghosts and devils.superflyninja wrote:All the derision and hostility by "proper scientists" of those excited by aliens etc is baffling.
I honestly wouldnt waste time on the first one. It centred its story on a tragic child case. Which was wide open to the family/parents having done something terrible. It really didnt explain the thinking behind the whole "Missing 411" idea.Dinostar77 wrote:Not seen it, will watch it. I heard his first documentary wasn't great and I haven't seen that either. It's good they've listened to the criticisms.Watched Missing 411 The Hunters last night. I thought it was pretty great actually. It's like the team listened to the criticism of the first and made this as a response. Its what the first should have been anyway. Paulides is in the movie himself and I thought it was great that he concentrated on hunters, experienced outdoors folk. The involvement of the FBI in the first case makes me think they suspect serial killer involvement. Anyhoo the facts as presented are very interesting. I'd be really interested in some counter investigations or an unfiltered view of the facts as they stand.

But it's all bullshit because you say so. Or more to the point you call me a loon just for finding something strange and unexplained interesting. It's the wierd stuff thread, one should be able to discuss wierd stuff without being shot down and bullied at every opportunity by people like you.Whether we think Lazaar is a fraud or telling the truth, one thing he did do was to make area 51 the most famous airforce base in the world. Anyway to quote myself, the ATTIP program revelations (which made the front page of the New York Times and CNN covered it) and the uss nitimtz battle group encounters are probably the best evidence we have in the public sphere that there is some weird stuff going on. It could be completely terrestrial and could be an evolution of the stuff lazaar alledgly worked on or it could be from elsewhere who knows?https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/outlook/the-military-keeps-encountering-ufos-why-doesnt-the-pentagon-care/2018/03/09/242c125c-22ee-11e8-94da-ebf9d112159c_story.html The military keeps encountering UFOs. Why doesn’t the Pentagon care? We have no idea what’s behind these weird incidents because we’re not investigating...... * another video released, that is in the link * An F/A-18 Super Hornet military jet captured this infrared video from several miles away of an unidentified flying object moving at high speed.
I remember this jarring with me at the time but, since you’ve brought it up again, I’m going to point out that it’s complete and utter bullshit.Dinostar77 wrote:It's the wierd stuff thread, one should be able to discuss wierd stuff without being shot down and bullied at every opportunity by people like you.
