We have proof that beings from the planet teleprompter were instrumental in getting him elected.

Well said, Platapus. I also confess to "I do not know". Any theory and probability calculation saying howlikely or unlikely life in the universe, or visits on Earth, are, is simply this: theory. It could be. Or not. We just do not know for sure, and no probability calculation will change that.

Or in the language of quantum physics, the wave function still has not collapsed. We are like the scientist in front of Schroedinger's box who still has not opened it to see if the cat is still alive, or not. :DL

Oh, I have no doubt at all that we have been visited. I saw a UFO up close and personal in the Summer of 1989. I was only about 500 feet from this thing and I knew exactly what it was.

It's a personal experience though. Impossible to prove. Even if I'd shot video of it, there would have been accusations that I'd faked it somehow.

In the end, it's just an incredible personal experience. :)

I don't like the "I don't know" stance. I think we can do better than that.
If I throw a dice, I could say "I just don't know" if I will throw a 6, but it would
be better, given the evidence to say there is a 1 in 6 chance I will throw a 6.

Clearly we can't give a precise probability to claims that aliens are visiting
Earth, but we can decide if it is more likely than not, even if we are working
with very little evidence one way or the other.

There is no need to jump on the fence every time a little doubt shows up.

Here is something to make my Tin Foil stock go up.

When Jimmy Carter was campaigning for President, one of his "promises" (snicker: promises from a politician :har: :haha::har: sorry) was that if elected President, he would open up the government files on UFOs to the public.

Good, Timothy (1989) "Above Top Secret: The Worldwide U.F.O. Cover-Up" Quill Publishers.

He was elected President, and after being read on to all the programs the President gets, decided not to open up any more files, citing national security.

:hmmm::hmmm::hmmm:

Yes, but if we don't know, we need to be honest and say we don't know. Just admitting that we don't know does not mean that we won't strive for more information or that we are giving up.

I guess it would be more correct to say "we don't know yet"

I can live with that also :yeah:

So what's being kept hidden in Area 51? :hmmm:

While everybody is trying to see what is going on in AREA 51...

It's all being done out in the open somewhere else where nobody's looking. :har:

I think you are overlooking a significant point.

If you accept that there is an Area 51, what are the other 50 areas?


And what are they doing *there*?
:D

I believe 'Watertown' is the official name for Area 51, dating back to 1950's. The name 'Area 51' was introduced few years later when the government, army or whoever seized lands around it. :know:

EDIT: Sorry, it's now called 'Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3'.

Area 49 is Suomi Finland. :O:

Laundering or wasteing US taxpayer hard earned money. :O:

Could be where they filmed the moon landing :DL

There has been speculation Jim:hmmm:

Already been exposed
