Aliens

[helpimonfire]

My great grandad was alien. It says so next to his name on the old census. In fact, there are aliens everywhere on the old census records, they tend to come from Europe mainly so Europe must be another universe?

I’ve seen something I couldn’t explain with an ex about 8/9 years ago. I’m not a professional aviator so my distances, height, size of the thing could be massively off but this is what I saw.

We used to live in Huyton, summer day we were sat in the back and after being out there for a bit I realised I’d been looking at something in the sky for a few minutes and it hadn’t really twigged what I was looking at. I said to the ex can you see that thing in the sky and she said I’ve been looking at the same thing for about a minute and was about to ask you the same question.

It was a strange shape, the best I could explain it was it was similar in shape, size and colour to the object in Arrival. It was in that same vertical stance just static in the sky. I couldn’t put a height on it or distance away from me. It was high but not directly above us. It could have been 10-20 miles away. It stayed in the same spot and my guess is it was pretty big but again it’s hard to judge as I couldn’t tell you how far away it actually was with any accuracy. I’d say it was maybe at least 100ft in length.

It stayed in the same place for maybe 30 minutes without moving. We tried to get a picture of it but we only had smart phones and you couldn’t make it out, just looked like a black smudge in the sky. We never saw it move away it was there for so long we must have started doing stuff like go the loo, get something from the kitchen and when we came back out it had gone.

It didn’t move once in the time we were looking at it, stayed fixed in the sky and then it was just gone. If I had to try and explain it I’d say it was satellite. But it’s odd that it was in the same place for 30 odd minutes then after 90 seconds of not looking at it it wasn’t there. It wasn’t like it had moved behind something it was to high for that, there was nothing impeding seeing it. There was no noise like a jet engine of a plane passing which makes me think if it could be explained it could only be a satellite. This was before drones were wide spread, I’d guess it wasn’t a drone, it didn’t have any arms coming off it that have propellers, it was long and one solid shape.

I’m not saying it was aliens, I feel daft just saying that. But i will say I couldn’t tell you what it was, my closest guess is a satellite but a few things makes me think It wasn’t a satellite. Don’t suppose anyone else on here saw it?

The avengers are needed.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

The avengers are needed.

My initial reaction was it is like a scene from War of the Worlds.

The fact we exist is proof other intelligent life forms must exist as well.

I think the craft they’ve found are real. I don’t think they’re alien though.

I think given how rare we think multi cell life probably is and given these craft supposedly use gravity engines for propulsion I think they’re us from the future. I think the engines are capable of bending space and time. I don’t think the pilots are us but more like an organic drone sent to observe. Some of them are probably unmanned.

*puts tinfoil hat back on

Too late. They know where you are.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Anal probe please.


Where do I sign?

Do you want your toast before or after?

If you believe in a heavily directed, created universe, the idea that we're alone is sustainable. That's the only way, though.


Clarke makes a solid argument (Rendezvous with Rama) that something sufficiently determined in the same galaxy could make it work, even if we already know most everything there is to know about physics. If we start talking spanning galaxies, things get a little more questionable.

Liu Cixin asks perhaps a more salient question in The Dark Forest. Do they want to? If evolution reliably produces things as paranoid and xenophobic as us, it's probably not a good idea.

Good point. There might be loads of planets dotted round the universe with Donald Trump like leaders who advise against visiting sh**hole planets.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Ha, I think it was Kurt Vonnegut, in a short story, who depicted aliens with capability of traversing the galaxy as so tiny they could dissappear up our nostrils.

Really well done, you. In recognition of this achievement I am pleased to award your scouts natural disaster spotter badge.

I believe in aliens and I believe they are benign beings. I recall in my 20’s that I was abducted several times. I say ‘recall’ but essentially on each occasion, usually a Friday or Sat night, I have gone out but can only remember up to a certain point of time in the evening after which it is completely blank. I was always safely returned and have simply woken up in bed the next day.
I think they use some sort of fluid based transportation system as the often the bed was damp also.

Happened to me on many occasions too, I'll take it further by adding I would wake up with a fat Alien Bird aswell !! I'm pretty sure these overweight Alien Birds took, without my consent, a sample of sperm, no doubt for their sick sexual experiments and I can't be sure but I think they anally probed me !!!

Good point. There might be loads of planets dotted round the universe with Donald Trump like leaders who advise against visiting sh**hole planets.

And loads of teams called Everton constantly underachieving.
That sector is known as The Booniverse.

Luckily I’ve moved so if they come back for me they’ll only get my rat of an ex. They won’t keep her for long, she’d gaslight them into the next dimension
