Area 51 And Flying Saucers

[GymLadTim]

Not sure if this is the right section of answerbank but I watched this really captivating show on Netflix today called “Bob Lazar – Area 51 and The Flying Saucers”.

Would defo recommend if you are into alien conspiracy stuff. I’ve heard an interview with Bob Lazar before on the Joe Rogan podcast and was fascinated by the dude.

I’ll give a brief background. Bob was a physicist who claims to have worked on alien tech at Area 51 during the 80’s. He was a whisleblower and has basically had his life ruined since going public – so has almost everyone associated with him. During the documentary the FBI show up at his home and start going through his stuff. I found some of his claims compelling, although his whole past including education records have been deleted.

Does anyone have any thoughts about Area 51 or governments concealing information about alien contact?

Croc of crap.

the universe is teaming with aliens, we will however never encounter them, the distances involved are too vast even at light speed.

Excellent critique, Nailit, if you could just simplify it for the non-scientific among us that would be great.

all the alien tish is generated by the conspiracy theory industry to sell DVDs and books to the gullible who want to believe all manner of pony.

Bob was being discussed a few Sundays ago on the Howard Hughes radio show (Talkradio, sundays 10pm - 1 am) Interesting.

Also, it is alleged that anything ufo-ish which was allegedly at area 51 had been transferred to a different alleged place years ago.

"the universe is teaming with aliens, we will however never encounter them, the distances involved are too vast even at light speed."

What if the aliens have the tech to travel at light speed?

[maggiebee]

//the universe is teaming with aliens// Agree, and most of them are in Westminster ha ha.

[ToraToraTora]

still too slow

[GymLadTim]

ha ha ha

[ToraToraTora]

100 times light speed is too slow.

[ToraToraTora]

even communication is impossible let alone actual travel.

[GymLadTim]

Who knows what kind of tech they could have though....

[Old_Geezer]

Those aliens are always conspiring.

//Those aliens are always conspiring.// Would feel right at home on AB then?

[douglas9401]

There are more things in heaven and Earth, Tora, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

[douglas9401]

And it's not the conspiring that's the worry, apparently they're forming actual teams!

[ToraToraTora]

gymlad, just comprehend the sheer size of everything. They would need to be from a 2nd gen star so they would be unlikely to have evolved much more tech than us but even if they have it'll need to exceed the laws of physics.

I'm certain that there are plenty of inhabited planets out there. In time, we will surely meet some and I can hear Richard Dawkins chuckling in anticipation of that meeting.
