I’d say both you guys are pretty set in your non-beliefs on this subject which is perfectly fine…but here goes anyway…
Bosda says:
If there are UFOs, show me an Alien Screwdriver. Or gum wrapper. You can’t? Everybody drops something…
Who says aliens chew gum? Reports of encounters with ET’s don’t usually describe them as wearing toolbelts either (plus if they really do exist their technology likely would have made tools and key-chains redundant). Also, descriptions of aliens have been pretty consistant thoughout history especially the “Grey” alien type as being very economical in thier appearence. So nothing to drop, nothing to find.
*If they want to hide from us, why do such a lousy job? Lights all over the place, “crop circles”…we can build Stealth Aircraft…why aren’t they? IF they exist.

Maybe they are being as careful as they have to be. Maybe it’s a two pronged approach 1) To not directly interfere with human society as to inflict mass panic or a complete collapse of our religious and economic institutions as a dramatic appearance would undoubtably cause…and 2) To gradually accustomise the human race to their presence (see 1). As well “Stealth” technology does not mean invisible. It just means invisible to radar, not to the naked eye.
If they want to contact us, why do such a lousy job? Just land in front of CNN.
See above.
They US Government can’t keep Abu Dhabi secret–how could they keep a UFO secret?
They didn’t.
Throughout the history of this delusion, new elements, like “abductions”, are added on. Consistantly, these elements appear several years after TV or movie scripts feature similar images or behavior. Isn’t it more than merely likely that these ideas came from the shows?
Dig a little deeper and you’ll find reports of this “delusion” throughout history, long before the advant of filmed media (such as The Great Airship mystery of 1865). It’s up to you to put the pieces of the puzzle together, I’ve been trying to do that for a long time.
*What possible gain could the Government realize from a cover-up? If terrorism can boost US Defense spending, think what Martians could do.
*
The security of American airspace is sacrosanct. Think what would happen if it was known to be breached almost daily. The latest technology appears to be useless in preventing “something” from doing just that and all the money in the world is not going to change that.
The larger the conspiracy, the briefer it is, as a rule. Given the kind of numbers a massive UFO cover-up would require, the kitty would have gotten out of the bag years ago.
The cat’s already out of the bag it’s just that somebody dressed it in a clown outfit. Ridicule and disinformation is a very effective weapon.
*Why do you think Aliens would be visiting? At all? If life is rare, there is little chance of anybody having enough high-tech to even go Interstellar, much less actually find us. If life is very common, why would anybody care about us? We haven’t even gone further than our Moon.
*
Maybe to check up on what they’ve planted here, who knows? Ask yourself this: why do humans explore space or want to land on Mars? Who said life is rare?? Yes, we only went to the moon…because that’s as far as our technology will allow…but we WANT to go farther. If there are other advanced life forms out there, it’s not too big a stretch to think that they too are explorers. At least it’s not for me.
Price Guy:
No, he just hasn’t seen much evidence of it.
How hard has he looked?
Why is it so clear (that the government hid information about Roswell)? I can’t see it, Cecil can’t see it, Bosda can’t see it…
Because they DID hide something for a long time. 50 years to be exact. In June of 1947 the U.S. Air force issued an official press release stating that they had found a flying saucer. Reuters carried the story on the wire internationally. Later they said it was just an ordinary weather balloon and that was all there was to it. 50 years later they said it wasn’t just an ordinary weather balloon, it was actually a top-secret nuclear radiation detecting weather balloon complete with mannequins. The fact that they hid something is pretty clear. The fact that they lied about it is too. How clear does it have to be for you to see it?
Government agencies do dumb things too. How do you know it wasn’t all swamp gas or reports from back-wood crazies?
I’m not sure what you are saying here. Are you suggesting that all reports of UFO’s come from swamp gas or backwoods crazies?
You say: “Government agencies do dumb things too”
So those studies were dumb? I cite 3 official government studies on UFO’s and you counter by saying that they were “dumb”? Right. Nice comeback.
Easy. Cecil is the world’s smartest human. The Air Force people aren’t.
Can’t argue with that I guess.
Where will we find it then?
Try some top secret bases. Maybe Area 51. Read the warning signs carefully though. By the way, read more than signs too. Try some books on Ufology to start. If you need some recommendations let me know. Remember one thing: One man’s evidence is another man’s conjecture (just ask Galileo).
Where can I read more about this big effort?
Try Amazon.com. I have a feeling that you’ll scoff at the books that are out there anyway, but maybe I’m wrong. Give it a shot (I’d go with the more credible researchers). Let me know how it works out.
North.
