“Secretly made” lol

It was already premiered at SXSW earlier this year. If it had anything groundbreaking to say that wasn’t just a rehash of UFO lore, we would have already heard all the details.

    Funny how as cameras get cheaper, more ubiquitous and higher resolution, THE TRUTH gets blurrier.

    Maybe aliens are blurry.

    A theory for how Superman isn’t recognized as Clark Kent is that he vibrates at high speed so whenever he gets his picture taken, he’s blurry.

    And Superman is an alien.

    The defence rests.

    They only found 34 major names for the documentary? That's surprising. There are hundreds in the American government that believe every lie that comes out of Trump's mouth. It's shocking that more of them don't believe in little, green men from Mars.

    UFO enthusiasts should read speculative Sci Fi like Orion's Arm or Project Rho.

    Like... if aliens exist, and they have the capability to travel across galaxies to get here, they aren't octopuses in flying saucers that we can detect. They're basically omniscient and invisible. Their ships would look more like this:

    It can redirect the path of a snowflake or rip a moon to fragments. It can accelerate a pebble into a habitat-shattering kinetic bomb or decelerate a RKKS projectile to harmlessness. It can reach down to a planetary surface from orbit and lift a sophont into space or shatter the crust of a world.

    And that's a ship that wants to be seen, restricted to plausible physics humans can imagine, from a 'primitive' civilization with a mere 14,000 lightyears of expansion. That's nothing on an astronomical timescale.


    Point being it's ridiculous to think we'd detect atmospheric UFOs, or that they'd even need atmospheric UFOs. It's anthropic fallacy. If they want to stay hidden (and astrophysical objects like re-arranged stars don't give them away), they can stay hidden.

    Also, everyone assumes human scale. Why wouldn't an alien craft be half an inch long?

    There's a passage in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy about that, if I remember right. Some alien species is grievously offended by something Earth does (unknowingly). They marshall their proudest battle fleet and commence an invasion of the planet. However, "due to a small miscalculation in scale, the entire fleet was swallowed by a passing small dog."

    A typical galaxy is around 100 billion stars. I think you mean "across the galaxy"

    Edit: someone literally down voted a science fact

    My thinking is that aliens 'observing us' would probably be extragalactic in origin.

    If they aren't, that implies at least two sets of civilizations arose in the same galaxy, which implies a whole lot more are out there and kinda twists the Fermi Paradox. See:

    One great mystery has puzzled thinkers for millenia, a mystery which first became apparent even before the first space flight. If intelligent life existed anywhere else in our Galaxy, why had it not colonised the earth long ago? This question was first posed by the classical age physicist Enrico Fermi, but was refined a few years later by Frank Tipler, who realised that if any intelligent species developed self-replicating probes, then it could explore and ultimately colonise the galaxy in a few tens of millions of years. But this had not happened.

    The Ginnungagap Theory was advanced to explain why the entire universe has not been converted to a single technosphere by the earliest intelligent beings or any of their successors.

    Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

    Curious to watch the interviews, that being said, I highly doubt this will change my mind at all. Let's see how it goes.

    If any alien life had sufficient technology to visit us then they would have sufficient knowledge to know that's a terrible idea and never visit. We are a war mongering planet full of morons and assholes. No intelligent life would be so stupid as to even make the attempt.

    The Age of Disclosure is currently available worldwide to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

    So this is an ad for something on Amazon.
