Gotta find a new job pretty quick it’s clear
yikes

I've said it before but I'm really happy that I don't live in America

as if I cannot see your IP, do you live in rural buttfuck or urban fuckbutt?

Mostly rural buttcracks with some urban titfucks thrown in for good measure

In my great state, that is

I guess it seemed more likely to them.

Apparently it was gone from view almost instantaneously. Regardless of all other weirdness here, no object can cross the speed of sound without generating a sonic boom in Earth's atmsphere. it's not physically possible, unless the craft had some kind of tech beyond our understanding to manipulate the air and environment around it as well

afaik neither of them were big on aliens or conspiracies, what they saw just convinced them there was no way it was human.

You should gift them a comb. And maybe some shampoo, too.

That’s so kickass man, thanks. Especially interested in the whooshing silently out of view at impossible speeds thing — that’s reported so often with UFO sightings and always gives me the willies, cause like what is it, then

Some more John Mack stuff cause i friekin love this guy:

Quote:
NOVA: Many say that this is just really a function of cultural images.


MACK: ...I have been looking at this phenomenon as it manifests in indigenous people, in Native Americans—the Cherokee, the Hopi, who know these beings as the star people. We've looked at this in South Africa, particularly in interviewing in depth a leading South African sangoma, or medicine man, who calls these beings "mandingdas".

We've investigated it in Brazil with a farmer in—outside Belo Horizante who had identical abduction experiences to what have been reported in this country. I'm getting recent—I received a letter about abduction experiences from a person in Malaysia today. In other words, this is—as far as we can tell—a worldwide phenomenon. This is not restricted, as some people have thought, to Western or particularly American culture.

....I found that the higher or the greater the stake that a person has in this society, in their position or their job, the more reluctant they are to admit that they've had abduction experiences......When abductees went on television with me during the spring of 1994, during my book tours, and wanted to communicate and educate about it, a number of them received threats to their jobs. Some of them lost them....we have one man in management consultation, lost an important contract. A woman that worked for the federal government, who was an abductee, was threatened with loss of her job. In other words, this is not something that is regarded as acceptable.

I've interviewed airline pilots who have had sighting—close up sightings of UFOs. They will not report it, because they will be removed from their work. Even if they've had abduction experience, they will not talk about it. And 25 to 30 percent of airline pilots, according to a survey that one of the people I've talked with did, have had close up sightings, but will not discuss it.

This simply is not something that is accepted as OK to talk about or—And that may be changing. I recently saw a Harvard Divinity School student, and I asked him these questions. I said: Do you talk about this among your fellow students? And he said: 'Oh, yes.' And it turned out several of them had also had abduction experiences. And even the ones that had not, were fascinated, interested, didn't ridicule 'em. So maybe the climate is changing.

Maybe the best bit:

Quote:
NOVA: Aren't you really at risk of losing quite a bit, personally and professionally, because of ...criticism?


MACK: I think that, in some ways, I've gained more than I've lost in terms of inviting people into this mystery, having a dialogue with all kinds of very wonderful, open, intelligent, brilliant people from many different fields. It's been quite exciting. I mean I've been attacked, but the attacks have not been really nearly as serious to me as the openness that I've found among many people throughout the culture and internationally, who are saying: Yeah, I always suspected something like this was going on, and I'm glad you were willing to come forward and report about it.

......It's often said that I'm a believer and sort of have gone and lost my objectivity. I really object to that. Because this is not about believing anything. I didn't believe anything when I started, I don't really believe anything now. I'm come to where I've come to clinically. In other words, I worked with people over hundred and hundreds of hours and have done as careful a job as I could to listen, to sift out, to consider alternative explanations. And none have come forward. No one has found an alternative explanation in a single abduction case.

Did u miss the part where topleycat unfriended me with the long slow ellipses of ridicule, after breeg teased me, snickering all the while, with fake tales of skunk apes that didn’t even occur irl?

You’re lookin at the new pariah of the board, here. Might as well put on my blue jump suit and go on tv to talk about how ive been chosen to reveal the reptilian/zionist agenda, the way everyones recoiling from my posts in here

Have we talked about the idea of UFOs actually being time machines and their occupants people of the future?

no because time travel is not possible and you can sign me up for the probability of aliens on earth before time travel

If we didn't talk about things that aren't possible, why was there ever a petition to stop Took's shitposting?

Four things do not come back: the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity.
--Arabic Proverb

From Publishers Weekly:
"This curious time-travel novella from Hugo-winner Chiang (Stories of Your Life and Others) is a gracefully told lesson about accepting fate—or, as better suits this medieval Arabian setting, the will of Allah... Half lyrical Arabian Nights legend and half old school cautionary SF tale, this skillfully written story and its theme of insurmountable fate may comfort as many readers as it makes uncomfortable."

From Booklist:
"In the manner of the Arabian Nights, Chiang wraps stories within a story... Eventually, interconnections between the four stories surface, and they boggle the mind, more so, perhaps, than any of the tales of similar effect in Chiang's dazzling Stories of Your Life and Others (2002). Could fantasy be more intelligently exquisite and, ultimately and surprisingly, morally sound than this?"

From Scalpel Magazine:
"It would be easy for Ted Chiang to rest on his laurels, especially after winning so many awards for his previous works, but his mastery of the written language continues to evolve. This novella charmed me down to my strings, a science fictional tale clothed in the silks and linen and scarves of the fantastic, and I do hope another five years will not have passed before seeing another major work from this phenomenal writer."

tl;dr aliens almost certainly exist but almost certainly have not come to Earth. people can say otherwise but they would be on the wrong side of probability based on available information
