UM-Bot Posted March 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2019 According to Montana Tech's Michael P. Masters, UFOs may be time machines occupied by our future selves. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/326466/professor-claims-ufos-may-be-from-the-future 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep73 Posted March 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I had that idea a decade ago, but I abandoned it, after I learned what backwards time travel would require. Sounds more like attention seeking, than an honest proposal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seti42 Posted March 23, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Us from the 'future' and/or another dimension makes more sense than aliens from another part of the galaxy, IMO. The common look of grey aliens is too humanoid...Like something we built (or was built by something we built) or something we evolved into. Again, IMO. I think that aliens from a whole other part of the galaxy wouldn't be humanoid at all, and probably wouldn't be compatible with our atmosphere at all either. Not to mention viruses, bacteria, etc. Finally, I believe there is no way actual aliens would A) ever come here, and B) if anything, they'd send probes/signals out like we do. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just right-click on the wall. Choose "Settings" -> "Advanced Settings" and uncheck the box "Solid". You might need to reboot before the change takes effect 2 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely nothing to indicate anyone can travel back in time. Travelling hundreds, thousands, even millions of light years is just as absurd as time travel, if not more-so. I think that time and alternate dimensions might wind up being the easier travel through than actually getting from point A to point B in this galaxy/universe. It's all hypothetical and probably fiction, lol. Edited March 23, 2019 by Seti42 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the13bats Posted March 23, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The discription of greys started in the 1800s as what future humans might look like, not time travellers just evolution theory then it was all mixed and intertwined with aliens, betty hill first described the aliens as dark haired with big noses then saw outer limits and changed her discriptions, 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stick with the idea that IF you could manage to create something that would allow time travel you would only be able to travel back in time to the point of the items creation. That is assuming that there are no parallel universes. Both reverse time travel and the whole multiverse thing are highly questionable imo*. *both are in theory possible but neither have been proven to happen or even exist. Parallel universes might exist but there seems to be a consensus that it is not possible to go from one to another (except in science fiction). I could be wrong, that would be cool with me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would even go so far as to claim, that parallel universes would require some sort of upper management. Nature would not be able to pull it off by itself. It's too delicate.
