Something important to me and to us all

Space aliens don't s_ _ t. They are far too advanced for that; and run on a wasteless organic form of cold fusion. Heck, they don't even drink beer. ;)

No beer? I thought these things were highly civilized and advanced cultures???
 
Maybe we've finally hit why they come. Beer.
 
Next thing you'll tell me is that they don't know about wet T-shirt contests.

What would that leave? Ball peen hammers?


geesch!
 
I liked the movie where the alien refugees could get intoxicated on just plain milk. Thought it was some heavy stuff.

You wouldn't blow up a planet that made Moose Drool Beer, would you? Or Guinness? Or Bach?

These Aliens might eventually just 'shop'.


Would an alien have a use for a HI khuk?

I like your thinking Munk.

Why market only on Earth?
 
Ah yes, good ol' "Alien Nation". Drunk on spoiled milk and salt water burned them like battery acid. I'll have to give the movie another rent. Probably one of my favorite alien flicks because the "fear" in the movie was motivated not by how they looked, but because they were better than us. Smarter, stronger, and willing to work for next to nothing. They had been bred as slaves and crash landed in a capitalistic society. As great of a social satire on immigration, outsourcing of jobs, and the plight of minorities as it was a very cool alien movie.

In point of fact, the massive Cigar vehicles have usually been observed in conjunction with saucers, and on more than one occasion the saucers were reported to merge with or go into the bigger Cigar type ship. The saucers themselves might not be able to travel at hyperluminal speeds, but the Cigars probably do. The Cigars may also have a restroom....
 
Well, the mystery goes on and on. The so called "angels' hair" may in fact be some sort of waste disposal system. When people run around trying to catch the dissipating white strands as they fall to Earth, they may in fact be playing with UFO toilet exhaust... It's completely safe, of course, but still..
 
The angel hair is an excellent place to start...it's frequently enough associated with UFOs to have a strong correlation, and it has been physically collected before. I've done a little reading on it, and the results don't quite make sense to me, but at this point, it seems like not much research has been done on it, and really, the angel hair is an unquestionably valuable tool for learning here. Even if it turns out to be a giant coincidence concerning local flora (and it might), we still learn something--we learn that angel hair is not correlated to UFOs, at least, in the way we probably think of it right now.
 
The best current theory, and my favorite, is that the angels hair is an extruded liquid. the liquid comes from compressed exhaust gases from inside the ship.
As you guys know, when you exhale the gases that come out are no longer breathable (especially if you like cigarrettes and garlic) so, in a confined space like a submarine or a Flying saucer, you have to clean the air. Those gases (including exhaled breath and flatulence - Carbon Dioxide and Methane) in sufficient amounts are poisonous and they build up fast.

If the aliens have some sort of air scrubber system, then it might grab those bad gases and compress them into a liquid which is then extruded out of the hull under high pressure to get through the propulsive field. Once out of the field, the liquid dissolves back into the basic gases that composed it. (decompression)

This theory holds together in several ways. It is important to note that this extrusion is done in the atmosphere where decompression isnt a danger and where fresh air can be taken in.

The fact that "bright balls of fire" have been reported being fired out of UFO hulls only to disappear after a few feet would seem to substantiate the theory even more.
 
"Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you’re gonna go far, fly high,
you’re never gonna die, you’re gonna make it if you try; they’re gonna love you." -Pink Floyd, "Have a cigar"

I knew it.

Saucers? Check.
Cigars? Been done in 1898.

What about the triangular vehicles? Two large ones, with blinking red lights on top, slowly cruised across the bay at low altitude near here one night.

Also, a mammoth one like that was seen by thousands in Kentucky. A chase pilot died trying to get close to it.

Remember "Project Blue Book," the TV show?

DIJ, I'm not goofing. I wrote a paper on this phenomena, feel I know Dr. Hynek.

The triangles are very rare in the reports.
They are also very recent, which makes me think they may be human.
The only reason I havent spent much time on them is because they represent such a small sample.

A statistic like 60% is a staggeringly high number. The lensatic shape appears in 60% of all reports. There is a reason behind that and that is what I'm after.
 
Since it was explained to me my revolvers most likely will not work against aliens, I've little heart to continue with this thread....

On a serious note, this stuff can get scary. I thought of a science fiction teaser for a book: what if, when we finally encountered life from another world, with FTL travel, they landed on Earth not to conquer, but only to rest a moment, for they were running ????

Legal qualifier: none of munk's posts, both in this present space, in former spaces, and in future space, should be construed as hostile to the formation of rational thought regarding FTL travel and or other life on other worlds.

Triangular sounds like our current crop of stealth stuff, but there was that one large platform that went across a part of the Eastern Seaboard and was never explained.

Well, the cool thing about running at the speed of light, if that's possible, is that no one should ever be able to catch you, and not even one "moment" will pass forever. That poses kind of an interesting engineering question though...provided you could reach the speed of light, and time stops completely for you, how do you ever get out of light speed? It can't be a signal sent from something else--it could never reach you since it would be going at the same speed. Maybe if the signal came from your destination so that you "impacted it." But you can't do any calculations, either in your head or in a computer, since time is stopped....maybe you'd need a giant hay bail to stop you.

It's clear that if we accept relativistic theory as Einstein presents it, we're confronted with some really huge problems if we also want to accept FTL stuff. If we really want and believe in FTL, we should probably reject relativity and start over. The incredible predictive success of relativity very, very strongly suggests that it's a reasonably accurate portrayal of our world, however.

But, who knows. If you buy quantum mechanics, you can probably get away with assuming that anything is doable at some point. It's too complex for me (!), but really, I don't observe any of the properties of quantum mechanics in my day to day life. For instance, I've never ran at a telephone pole and divided into two separate, complete mes and reconnected at the other end (ala Penrose). Conversely, if I took an atomic clock on a fighter jet and left one synchronized at a TCU girl's dorm, I should be able to observe a difference in the two, reliably predicted by relativistic equation.

It's probably bad science, but whenever I see equations with infinities in them, hypothetical situations where time stops, particles blinking in and out of "nowhere," I just want to say hey--that's not the universe *I'M* living in. Supposedly, it's all based in empirical observation, but I just can't rationally imagine that universe. I tend to reject these claims, or at least fight them, mostly because I like to see it all add up in what I observe. And, I'm not a physicist, so I can get away with it without university hassle.
