He said the following: Quote Well, the view inside for your one air lift clearly gives you all the knowledge required... {sarcasm} ... which, admittedly, probably could have been addressed in a nicer way, and I might have more sympathy about your feelings on that point if you didn't make responses like the following, to other users: Why, haven't you ever seen drawings and pictures of UFO's? Yes, I have some, FYI, but if I chose to not tell the likes of anyone on here that's my choice. Why not give your interpretation of what your ideas a ufo should look like, that is, if you have any. You've presented yourself as somewhat abrasive and standoffish, so it's no surprise that Chuck would respond to you in kind. I really didn't see him responding to you in any kind of negative tone until you started doing so. Quote I was in a life/death situation, but I don't expect that to filter in to your brain or his. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing well now. Quote I don't have anything to say to some person that picks my post to pieces as he did. He picks posts apart because he likes to separate the sense from nonsense. I can't say I blame him, especially in the ET section. Too many people just take photographs/videos and run with them. Seeing Chuck provide critiques is actually a breath of fresh air. Edited July 20, 2021 by Nuclear Wessel 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrLzs Posted July 21, 2021 #133 Share Posted July 21, 2021 First, thanks for those very kind words, NW - I am a fan of your posts too (and your username)!.. On 7/21/2021 at 6:24 AM, Nuclear Wessel said: I really didn't see him responding to you in any kind of negative tone until you started doing so. This is the key. I've had many a pleasant discussion with people with 'out there' ideas BUT who are genuinely wanting answers, rather than only wanting their favorite fantasy to be re-inforced. I always listen and learn from plenty of other posters here, and I expect the same from others. All you have to do is listen, admit mistakes and back up what you say (and admit it when you are wrong) ... and I'll be polite and tolerant, even if you have some crazy ideas... But when you start slinging off at (or ignoring) other members who are simply offering suggestions or pointing out flaws or asking you to clarify and support what you say... my politeness and patience finishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted July 22, 2021 #134 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) After the detailed explanation and all the additional information and examples, I can easily see that being a helicopter with motion blur. As for that vas guy - I don't think I've ever seen someone fight so hard to remain willfully ignorant. It's obvious he either doesn't understand the concepts explained, or just...won't.

I made this remark to another poster because she made it to me first. Frickin huge. Think about it. Space is big. It takes a long time and a lot of power to cross. That's not happening with the sports style UFO vehicles popular in lore. They don't have the size to accommodate the resources necessary for interstellar travel. If one is to cross space, many resources are needed to fuel the mission. If advanced tech is crossing space with hypothetical technology like wormholes, you're looking at a power signature we could detect at Alpha Centauri because it would be that powerful. I real spaceship would be huge. Over a million tons. And it would create a tremendous power signature That's not going to go unnoticed anywhere in the solar system.

The thing is, if they exist they could have tech that we cannot comprehend or detect. Their way of travel could be like magic to us. Our understanding of universal forces could be eons behind theirs. We think we are so smart and know so much about space travel, but do we really know anything yet? Alternatively, they could be from another dimension/universe/time/whatever and don't have to travel far at all.

There may be technology we don’t know about, but there are certainly physical aspects of the universe that we are quite aware.

We are already doing things thought impossible 100 years ago. We've only been in space 60 some years. We aren't in any position to say what can and cannot be done by a species that has been in space for maybe thousands of years.

We are a species who have access to quite bit of knowledge despite only 60 or so years of space flight and exploration. You seem to presume an awful lot to support the thought of an advanced species being able to go outside the margins so to speak. You do acknowledge there are significant known problems with interstellar and intergalactic travel as we understand the known universe, right? You say they may mask energy signatures.

I said they MAYBE mask signatures and/or have the ability to do so, I have no idea why they would or not, you understand it's all hypothetical, right? I'm not claiming they even exist. Yes, I do acknowledge there are significant known problems with interstellar and intergalactic travel AS WE understand the known universe. That's kinda my whole point. We do not know 100% of anything, only the delusional think we have a firm grasp on the deep intricacies of how the universe works and can define anything as "impossible". 1000 years from now our own tech will be like magic to us present people (if we are still around that is).

There are physical aspects that we can still get around and then there are them simply prohibitive to get around. Like the speed of light and not letting out energy.

Traveling at the speed of light isn't a problem if you don't travel the way light does in the first place. We are just going to disagree.

I really don't think a maybe is valid enough to dismiss physics. You need a framework concept to work with. Anyone can make anything up. Instead of dimensions we could say they are ghost hybrids of humans and animals trying to firm a new dimension. Silly idea, but as founded as the idea you have proposed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
