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?

I would assume that aliens would have more intelligence than to visit here.

[THECORBYLOON]

By "here" do you mean Earth or AB?

[david small]

Oh Corby, you wag.

OP, I watch all sorts like that, Ancient aliens, Nasa: Unexplained files, Mufon, etc... I'll give that one a look.

As for light speed not been fast enough... two points Wormholes could exist. And secondly we don't know when they set off, their star may be no-more.

Naomi, I only meant the Dawkins bit, I still completely believe that we will encounter extraterrestrial life one day. Probably not in our lifetimes, but one day. More than happy to continue that discussion.

The answer.

mozz: "Why must they? They could be on planets which have existed long before Earth did. " - no, do you understand the concept of 2nd gen star? Planets need heavy elements, they are created by stars, QED, all the material that is not hydrogen was created in a star, all the elements in us, and our planet were created in a star that lived and died, shedding it''s elements through this part of the galaxy. So stars have had to live and die at least once to create what we have, thus our star is 2nd gen. Any aliens out there and there are lots, would have had the same parameters thrust upon them, they would have had a similar time in galactic terms to evolve. The distances are too vast even for light speed communication, we or they could not build a transmitter/receiver to communicate even with the closest star and that's to your garden gate in galactic terms.

Has anyone seen a UFO ?

[johnny.5]

has anyone seen an ufo ?
I think by definition we all have

Am I Right ?
I'm Not Wrong !

[Old_Geezer]

Most flying objects I see I don't identify.

[ToraToraTora]

UFOs are not aliens, they are simply Un identified.

Theland, once again you’ve posted a reasonably lengthy video with no synopsis. Don’t you think it’s rather discourteous to expect anyone to waste sizeable chunks of their time in order to find out what you think? Please have the good manners to type your responses as the rest of us do. This is a discussion board, not a cinema.

TTT, you make too many assumptions.

Yes, Johnny, I’ve seen a UFO.

[ToraToraTora]

"TTT, you make too many assumptions. " - what assumptions have I made?

[GymLadTim]

Personally I have never seen a UFO.

[ToraToraTora]

...they only exist in the US, usually seen by someone on steam tugs and beer in the middle of nowhere when they are the only witness.

The laws of physics as we know it , surely

[naomi24]

TTT, //what assumptions have I made? //

That you know all there is to know.

//Laws of physics vary throughout the universe, new study suggests//

I have seen UFO's twice.

[SparklyKid]

I have no doubt there are other forms of life out there, it makes no sense to consider it is just us. However, I also believe we will never know.

I once read that radio signals from Jodrell Bank took over 50 years and still not reach the outskirts of our galaxy.
