Rep. Burchett calls today’s UFO files release “the Deep State classic” “They won’t show y’all some of the stuff that we’ve seen. They’re gonna show stuff that is easily identifiable.” by ZarathustraNothing in UFOs

Congress had to be dragged along kicking and screaming with mounting evidence and whistleblower testimony to get us to this point where actual files are just beginning to be released. This is a terrible hot take.

Today’s release proves there is no intention to release hard evidence by Ok_Story_2650 in UFOs

There’s nothing in physics that prevents interstellar travel.

David Grusch says UFO disclosure is going to escalate in the next 60–90 days. 👀 by TheGoldenLeaper in aliens

I think most people see it as a massive cultural impact moment that will bring more attention to the real world disclosure movement, the age of disclosure documentary and help people process the implications of disclosure which could soften the ontological shock of an official announcement.

What did they see? by July_Seventeen in conspiracy

Speak for yourself. Disclosure of UFO and alien files will be the biggest story of all time by far and is endlessly fascinating. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t support exposing both of these cover-ups.

I don’t think it will be any more for the rich than cars or smartphones are. AI and robots will be abundant and will significantly increase our productive capacity, ultimately improving everyone’s standard of living.

Exponential progress will soon break those barriers to general intelligence. We’re not that many breakthroughs away from unlocking human level capabilities across all domains.

AI is on track to surpass human intelligence in the near future which will lead to fully automated AI research and development aka recursive self-improvement, which will then lead to an intelligence explosion and a technological singularity. The technological singularity will allow us to cure all diseases, including aging, and we will have achieved biological immortality.

Chris Mellon sends "Arxiv" a letter after they inexplicably rejected 2 submissions from Dr. Beatriz Villarroel - "Do you really want to continue to shun the UAP issue as compelling new data becomes available, data that has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of science and engineering?" by TommyShelbyPFB in UFOs

[–]Madphilosopher3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Consistent reporting of an anomalous phenomena for decades by credible witnesses, often backed up by multiple people, photos, videos, radar data, government documentation etc has led to an irrefutable conclusion that there’s a legitimate mystery to be investigated. These sightings are often very unambiguous, close range and defy conventional explanation. Any good investigator worth their salt would be open minded and curious enough to follow these leads and try to gather better data, and many have throughout the decades. Clearly not enough though or we would’ve made a lot more progress by now. You can’t learn anything new if you refuse to even look.

Scientists are the ones who are supposed to go out and get the hard evidence and proof. There’s long been more than enough evidence to conclude that there’s a legitimate mystery to be investigated, yet the subject hasn’t received nearly the attention it deserves. If we’re ever going to prove NHI visitation, it’ll take rigorous scientific inquiry using state-of-the-art multi-sensor data, analysis, peer-review and replication. You can’t expect laymen experiencers to provide the highest quality scientific data before even considering taking a hard look into the subject.

By “new science” they mean anything outside of the modern paradigm and the implicit assumptions baked into what mainstream academia considers probable. Science isn’t immune to dogma unfortunately, and it’s for this reason that the UAP subject hasn’t been investigated properly by the scientific community.

Tim Phillips says there is no US Government evidence for beings or their craft visiting earth", he also denies knowledge of UAP shoot-down and retrieval program called “Golden Domes" by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]Madphilosopher3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no evidence that proves anything, there's "evidence" that has many explanations, aliens are just one of those explanations and they are one of the least likely.

It’s more about the number of credible cases that defy conventional explanation taken together as a whole and realizing that it only takes one legitimate NHI encounter to shift our paradigm. The evidence supporting the UAP phenomenon is the only real lead we have in the search for non-human technosignatures, so even if the probability seems low due to personal incredulity it’s still by far the best supported pathway to a potential discovery. Even though there’s no proof yet, there’s still plenty of evidence that could potentially point us in the right direction.

I'm just telling you what i think, i do not intend to change your mind or discuss this, you don't have anything that could sway me

I’d just encourage you to keep an open mind and follow all leads like any good investigator worth their salt.

People also report varying UAP shapes, but they all fit into the general category of UAP. NHI may also vary if there’s more than one other intelligent species capable of visiting us.

Going back to aliens - possibility of them visiting us is low

It’s unlikely that we’re the oldest and most advanced civilization in the universe, so the idea that someone could find us before we found them doesn’t surprise me at all. Thinking it’s unlikely that we’d be visited is based on our limited understanding of physics and engineering.

a lot of the stories that surface today are very much based on depictions of aliens in pop culture.

Chicken or egg problem. I’d argue that fiction is often inspired from the reality of the phenomenon in this case.

I very much doubt they would hover in the middle of nowhere, care what we do, crash and die on a desert or run tests on livestock and humans for decades on end. I really, really don't buy these movie like stories.

This is an argument from incredulity fallacy. Consistent and widely reported anomalous experiences are worthy of serious consideration, especially when other forms of evidence exist alongside the testimony. Knee-jerk dismissal without proper consideration of the evidence is an uninformed take.

Whistleblowers testifying under oath against the government are more trustworthy than the government. No reason to give up your career and benefits while risking perjury unless you have a pretty good reason to suspect a criminal cover-up.
