UFO Hunters On History

OMG!!! How cute!!! :slight_smile:

(channels the theme from The Jetsons)

Q

There is no hard,believeable evidence for Aliens visiting the Earth.
THis PROVES then that there must be a wide ranging coverup that goes all the way to the top.
There would be no point whatsoever in arranging a coverup of this magnitude if there was nothing to coverup.
So this proves beyond all doubt that there are aliens amongst us.

Apart from that I must have been kidnapped by other worldly beings because I have no recollection of the event ever happening and lets face it Earthly science is not advanced enough to induce amnesia in a human being with that degree of sophistication.
The only logical conclusion is that it must have been performed by a much superior civilisation then the one us Earthlings have.
Yet more proof as if we needed it.

I like the show. I like the new guy, who seems VERY skeptical. They need someone like that around. There’s not a lot of conspiracy/coverup stuff, either. Instead they interview lots of witnesses who are credible, like military and law enforcement. I still highly doubt we are being visited regularly by aliens who refuse to communicate with us.

Why in God’s name do they run this stuff on the “History Channel”?

You know is a very small (really really really small) chance that a very small number of sightings are of actual alien craft. But I’m going to argue that they may in fact be unmanned craft. Much like our Predator Drones. They’re sitting on planet Whatever and see that our planet looks promising for life and send drones to check us out.

However I don’t think it’s at all likely.

It annoys me to no end that this sort of drivel is taking over the History Channel. UFO Hunters, Monster Hunters, Axe Men, Ice Road Truckers… Can’t A&E (isn’t that who owns History?) make a new channel for Pseudoscience/Macho Professions Reality shows and give us back our Hitler Channel?

I’ve never understood this attitude (attributed to the putative aliens). We may very well be one of a meager handful of technological civilizations in this entire galaxy. You really think ETs would just pass us by, completely ignore us, given our extreme rarity and likely uniqueness? We would undoubtedly be the most interesting thing for them to study in a 10,000 light year radius.

Because Syphfy got the wrestling first.

I think they would at least make an attempt to communicate and make their existence clearly known rather than just abducting Cletuses in the country and ramming probes up their asses.

And weed (which made UFO-based conspiracies a lot more believable).

I’d have to agree. I don’t mind the shows like UFO/ Mosnter hunters, etc, but I’d like the History channel to show history.

Isn’t humanity God’s special gift to the Universe ? Obviously advanced aliens would come to bask in the glory of His creation. :smiley:

Less jokingly, anthropology. “Look, the monkeys make tools ! Now they’ve got their tiny teeny space elevator made with metal, plastic and ceramics. It’s so ka-yuute - and I’ve got my college paper, right there.”

Maybe UFOs are integral to recessionary economies, and we can look forward to a new rash of UFO hysteria.

And you’d think there’s no shortage of programming actually related to history.

Perhaps, but I think it’s probably more of a generational thing. For about ten years from the early 90s, popular culture more or less strip-mined UFO mythology for ideas for movies and TV shows – there’s nothing new left to dig up. Once the Grand Government Conspiracy becomes the basis for Saturday morning cartoons, it becomes a little harder to take it seriously.

Things seem at a pretty low ebb in the UFO field just now – UFO magazines are folding, and the discussion seems to have retreated to the internet where the same old names go over old ground and rehash old arguments. It’ll be a few years yet, I think, before enough new ideas emerge to sustain another round of “Finally: The Truth!” paperbacks for the next generation of TV and movie writers to steal from.
