Is Extraterrestrial disclosure taking place?

[Chippy_boy]

The hops is probably the most likely approach, we could colonise the galaxy with our existing technology (albeit in a very long time) - I think it was another of the questions posed by the Femi Paradox, as in given a 1bn+ year head start and similar evolution why hasn’t it (colonisation) already occurred from other potential civilisations.

Hmmmmm. Define "a very long time" ;-) Our galaxy is 106,000 light years across. At 100,000 km/h - about the limit of our current technology - then that would take 1.1 billion years to reach the other side*. That's quite a long trip in a space craft. The "are we nearly there yet" calls from the back seats might get a bit repetitive.

can see that happening, but not for living as we know it, research purposes most likely, i would of thought

or are you thinking along the lines of a total recall type scenario? or am i going too sc-fi here

For sure the research station. And maybe the first part of Total Recall, i.e. massive human-life supporting eden project type building things - I forget the term. The final "terra forming" scenes perhaps still a way off, but I could imagine the first bits within 100 years.


* Note to self. Fuck me, space is big isn't it. 1.1 billion years just to get to the other side of our own poxy galaxy, 1 amongst 2 trillion other galaxies. My God.

These ancient Aliens is on the TV right now and it’s Erich Von Daniken who wrote several books on the subject and I rushed out to buy one but soon realised I was contributing to his income and chose instead Sean Carroll and other like minded people to inform me on the universe
when you consider the stars are moving away from us at amazing speeds and eventually we won’t see more than a few In the night sky

He’s got some theories alright, that guy.

Boot the fuckers out at the next fuel stop and tell them to walk home. 1.1b sounds about right, I hope they bring green shield stamps back, might have enough for a toaster by the time we do the round trip

To quote the GPC:

Not in my lifetime.

Tbh I always find it mad that people deny the idea of aliens. Always thought it was ya know....kinda logical and obvious. They surely exist if the universe is as big as we believe it is.

I'm sure there is alien life, but if it got this close in spacecraft we could actually see I'm sure they'd have made some impression on us (unless they're really tiny).

 

[remember arthur mann]

microbes on Mars if we’re lucky that might be what they are hinting about. What a let down for us I want full blown aliens

You've got 'em......

More mainstream media coverage. Huge trail of tweets with lots of details here. What on earth is going on? Haha

As Coxy said, why would they come all this way then not say hello?
Use future technology to get here then piss about with 'probes' on humans or cut cows open?
