Cheers, Badeskov Back in the Satanic Panic days, there was a guy who went out in the woods and proclaimed there had to have been a ritual slaying because there was no evidence of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlawde Posted August 1, 2017 #32 Share Posted August 1, 2017 What bugs me is the commonly held belief that UFO's = Aliens. I think most can agree that UFO's are a thing, but assuming aliens is foolish. Not saying some may NOT be, but there are many things that point to them being something else entirely. WIthout going into a detailed explanation, if you have read anything by Jacque Vallee or John Keel, or know about Skinwalker Ranch, you know what I am talking about 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted August 1, 2017 #33 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The idea that it is possible to traverse the Universe at the Speed of Light...especially...FASTER than the speed of light. Is there anything in the Universe that travels faster than the speed of light? Is there anything else in the Universe that travels anywhere near the speed of light? ..... the fastest speed any human has ever traveled relative to the Earth was set by Apollo 10, which reached 39,897 kph. That's approximately 0.0037% the speed of light. For comparison, the fastest unmanned craft ever launched to date is the Helios 2 solar probe, launched in 1976, which reached approximately 252,792 kph during a slingshot flyby. That only works out to 0.023% light speed.... Link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted August 1, 2017 #36 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) When someone writes a half page story explaining their alleged ghost or alien encounter...then when we uncover the flaws and start pointing them out, they add bits on which were never in the op and should have been. And a real roll eye is when they ask for logical explanations and answers.....we give them and because it is not paranormal based, they get all upset.

Lol, the "why are you here on UM" bit is always a cop out for some when their story falls apart quicker than a tent in a landslide. but for sure the "do not post on here" bit is just scepticalistaismaphobia.

Ken Ham's classic "Where you there?" is a close second. Okay then how about this....Show me where anything in this Universe has traveled at a speed faster than light. To the point though...we have at this latest phase of our technological advancement...traveled at speeds as high as...somewhere around .001 the speed of light. And yet, we boast we have the capabilities of achieving warp light speeds?? ...and if you do fart in space at warp speed...will said fart waft or stand still?
