Not a liberal, and don't at all live a "California lifestyle," whatever the hell that is. But thanks for the shoutout.

"Dur... that's crazy! It's obviously ALIENS!"

Well none of that matters at all.
Because it's obviously inter dimensional beings that have always been around humanity, since they've been tethered to the same place as us (same place, different dimension), and THEY are what have been mistaken for angels or demons.
Inter dimensional beings ARE the 'aliens', they're ALSO the angels and demons, because they've always been here with us, we humans just call them whatever makes since to us with in our community knowledge.

The government may or may not care about the resolution of the U.F.O. enigma. But, in throwing up its hands and granting that there are things it simply cannot figure out, it has relaxed its grip on the taboo. For many, this has been a comfort. In March, I spoke with a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force who said that about a decade ago, during combat, he had an extended encounter with a U.F.O., one that registered on two of his plane's sensors. For all the usual reasons, he had never officially reported the sighting, but every once in a while he'd bring a close friend into his confidence over a beer. He did not want to be named. "Why am I telling you this story?" he asked. "I guess I just want this data out therehopefully this helps somebody else somehow."
The object he'd encountered was about forty feet long, disobeyed the principles of aerodynamics as he understood them, and looked exactly like a giant Tic Tac. "When Commander Fravor's story came out in the New York Times, all my buddies had a jaw-drop moment. Even my old boss called me up and said, 'I read about the Nimitz, and I wanted to say I'm so sorry I called you an idiot.' "
Thanks for that. It's liberal so I won't read the New Yorker (that's a joke!)G Martin 87 said:
Anyway, ...
That New Yorker article is a great summary of the history of UFOlogy as well as a Who's-Who of all the important players. Well worth the read. I found the ending particularly interesting:Quote:

I'm just paywalled from it. I read the intro and it seems pretty good.G Martin 87 said:
I get the disdain for the New Yorker, but you ought to read the article. Trust me, you won't melt. It's a pretty fair and comprehensive recap without a liberal bent.
Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?Illuminaggie said:What is there to crash into, between here and there?Rex Racer said:
The idea that alien beings could have the technology to travel hundreds or thousands of light years, bending time and space in the process, only to crash in New Mexico is hilarious to me.
Well, that, and the fact that nothing with mass can travel at light-speed.Decay said:
In honesty, going near light speed in even the hardest vacuum of interstellar space still puts you in contact with 1 atom every cubic centimeter. It would be unquestionably catastrophic. FTL obviously breaks physics but I think they'd have infinite momentum or energy? I don't think you have to worry about suns or planets.
Envelope math: a tiny tiny spaceship of 1 square meter area, going at the speed of light, would pass through 3x10^8 x 1000 molecules per second. You'll be bombarded with 300 billion particles that will either annihilate themselves as they strike your ship or tear straight through without stopping. At the very least you're building up heat and radiation until you're hurtling through space as a molten radioactive wad.

And, again, if they have the tech to do that, I find it hilarious that they would crash in New Mexico after coming all that way.TCTTS said:
Unless the speed of light is made irrelevant by bending space-time itself.
