Would a microbe from a moon or mars rock be an alien?
Technically, yes, when the Apollo 11 crew returned they were placed in an isolation trailer that was onboard the aircraft carrier, just as a precaution. No microbial entities were found and subsequent flights did not have to sit in a trailer for 2 weeks.

Yeah, that's the thing. If the military had a single shred of credible evidence that there were aliens who had superior technology visiting here they'd be screaming from the rooftops that we needed to raise the military budget and devote all of our resources towards narrowing the flying saucer gap. It would be Christmas for them, they'd have a blank check to do whatever they want. There's no way in hell they'd cover it up.

There are nuts everywhere, people who see evidence of Jesus in a misshapen potato and proof of alien anal probes by listening to rednecks describe why their butts are sore. There are 6,000+ crew on a Nimitz class carrier, if .001% of them are nuts that accounts for 5 people who claim there's a government conspiracy.
I doubt the 2 crews that saw and tracked those UFO's are "nuts", furthermore they were TOLD to go and check it out from the radar tracking aboard the Nimitz. Trying to increase the budget to keep up with aliens would be kinda laughed at in congress, any civilization able to solve the considerable challenge of interstellar flight is so far advanced from us a better missile or fighter would mean zero.

Many will disagree, but I feel it's one of the best films ever made. Certainly one of the best I've ever seen.

And you won't understand the dialog quote in post 4 unless you watch it all the way through. But then it'll strike you.
Well according to Wikipedia The Final Countdown is a Z Movie, which are much lower then B-Movies.

I'm not sure about that as Aliens who solved the challenge of interstellar flight may not not have any experience at all in waging wars.

Right, right, because navy people never see things that are not there. Nobody was shocked when mermaids turned out to be real. I find it astonishing that the military has tech that can see a missile fly through a window, but when their people claim to witness something weird and possibly supernatural the tech consistently fails to provide any corroborating evidence. Kind of like how police body cams happen to cut out when they're planting a gun, but the parking lot cam in the 7-11 down the street manages to catch it just fine.

And yeah, you totally have the military nailed. When faced with something that could grant them more power, more toys, more freedom and more prestige they're absolutely going to stand up and say "Nope, probably nothing we can do here, they're tougher than us, spend the money elsewhere, we don't want it."

What the fuck planet are you from if you think that's how things work? Congress would erupt into fistfights to determine who gets to spend the most anti-UFO money in their districts.

So why can't the Navy upgrade to way better cameras so they can actually see what they are recording? Geezes My new phone can record better then that. Granted the video is from 2004.. but... still...

The camera's are using infra-red on most of these plus an F-18 is moving at speed as well.

If any activity I undertake shows up on the History channel, I would have to question my own existence.

Aliens.

or to make the post a little longer,

the guy says the Aegis cruiser is one of the most sophisticated ... something. Which it isn't. It's sophisticated for being a warship, but it's no' sophisticated when it comes to science stuff. Aliens do not magically appear on earth, they would have to come from not-here to here, travelling in the straight-line-there-to-here fashion, which would make them detectable to instruments of such accuracy that what the US-o-A military cannot even comprehend. NASA is far more keen on finding aliens that any alien-conspiracy activist is, and they got better gear to do the job.

As for the testimonies,
i watched a couple of Bob Lazar videos, and i got to tell you, i believe him. And, i also know now that he's full of shit. My human, instinctive judgement will never be a good substitute for the cold, hard facts of science.

When NASA announces we've been visited by aliens, i'll put my tinfoil hat on.

Why would you believe a lying piece of shit or even worst, even want to? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[/QUOTE]Lazar's story has since been analyzed and rejected by skeptics and ufologists alike, including researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who point out Lazar was never employed at Nellis Air Force Base and does not hold degrees from MIT or Caltech, as he claims.[2][3][/QUOTE]

There will always be those who always look for convenient reasons to explain the unexplainable!
You just have to look at the crop circle phenom to understands that people are afraid to admit there is something that we do not understand watching us......
Crop Circles are fake. People made with boards and rope. In others words, they are Hoaxes.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

believe him =/= he's right.
watching someone and thinking "hm, i trust this guy" is instinctive, but not necessarily accurate.

the reason why this is relevant is because often in Ufology videos you will see people who "i am so and so and have demonstrable experience of the field at a professional level" and all that may be correct which leads the viewer to assume everything else that follows also is. You see a guy, he appears genuine, and you go with what he has to say. Just because someone is a airforce major who's seen a unexplainable light, doesn't mean i should take his interpretation of said light.
I'm happy he reported it, but im marking it down as "unusual light", not "alien".
