US intelligence agencies ordered to declassify UFO intel.
Are we being prepared for the truth regarding UFOs? Or is this some kind of psyops operation being conducted by the US m
If you ever see the Andromeda Galaxy in the night sky you feel a certain humility as to the smallness of our place in the universe and the limits of our possible knowledge. But scientists, weirdly, don't. There is bound to be life out there, in some form, but given the distance we're never going to know much about it, and it's best that we're never going to encounter it. The experience of Europeans arriving in the Americas, the Pacific and Australasia suggests that any contact with extra-terrestrial microbes, let alone any hypothetical higher life forms, would be... disadvantageous.
I finally figured out how to find Andromeda some years back.
It's just kinda blurry really.

I mean... we don't have to have sex with them.
All this germaphobia was very apt before the digital era. But now we have plenty of neutral mediums through which to commune in almost any way we like with anything of our sentience or beyond, in a civil, safe-for-both-parties manner. It's not like either party won't know this, or have zero access to some kind of superficial interface.
(we've also always had consciousness, a medium of which we currently understand very little. When you think about it, some variety of mediumship/channeling/mind hacking is always going to be preferable for interspecies contact. If we're talking elf and safety)
Interesting video on why the Europeans didn't get any diseases home to the Americas.
This suggests to me that extraterrestrial germs might not pose an immediate thread, as they would likely be too alien to interact with the human biochemistry.
I caught one here in the desert last night...
Did they bring Elvis?
it was just hanging there without moving for 15-20 minutes before it slowly began drifting away from my position over the next 30 minutes. it was in the Edwards AFB Mojave desert direction from my house.
it was quite brilliant and colorful in the sky and was probably what seemed like 100-200 miles away... or in orbit.
it looked just like how youre seeing it in the video... brilliant pulsing and undulating light. I could clearly see all the other bright stars and none of them exhibited this pulsing.
Maybe Betelgeuse supernova?
I don't think Betelgeuse going supernova will occur in our lifetime, although some studies seem to think it could happen in decades, but iirc the estimates were in the next 10-100,000 years, which seems to imply that nobody really has a clue. Would be awesome if it did though.
What do you guys reckon the Aliens think of the new Pope?
as long as he was placed in that position by 'The Enlightened', I dont think they mind...

Other, less impressive videos (which UFO buffs also describe as being remarkable) have quickly succumbed to analysis. “Go Fast” was not actually going fast, and was consistent with a balloon drifting in the wind. “Tic Tac” did not show a craft moving like a ping-pong ball, but instead looked more like a distant plane with the apparent movement caused by the camera switching modes and performing gimbal rolls. “Green Pyramid” looked like “the best UFO footage of all time” for two days, then I pointed out it looked exactly like an out-of-focus airliner shot in night vision with a triangular aperture.
In other news, the Kepler 18 b potential biosignature that I posted about earlier is subjected to more academic critique.
It will be millions of years before the signals reach their hypothetical neighbourhoods, and they either won't receive them or won't understand them anyway.
It seems a bit naive to think aliens haven't already integrated themselves into our societies and are controlling everything we do.
Well, it's a solution anyway.
Do you think they sell Earth memorabilia into space? Like action figures or cuckoo clocks?
Would explain where all my odd socks had gone...
What dismissal? There might be a whole Earth fandom economy out there, with Earth nerds and everything!

The Cambridge team deserves every bit of the criticism they're getting right now. Usually the case is some interesting piece of research getting blown out of proportion by media outlets but they did this themselves.
Short of incontrovertible evidence of technosignatures, finding microbes, or little green men showing up there's no reason to bite. Spectroscopic observations of distant atmospheres have so many baked-in issues and assumptions regarding so-called biosignatures that the "smoking guns" some people claim exist really don't. I'm not saying it's not worth doing, but just do it, publish your results and shut the **** up with the self-hype and "strongest evidence yet" nonsense. You don't have evidence.
We have a few good relatively local targets worth checking out that could potentially answer the question definitively, a couple launching in a few years. It probably won't be the case but if by some luck it were then we have something worth getting hyped up over.
Some things are just beyond our ken.
