As a (very) amateur astronomer, and being lucky enough to live on top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere with very little in the way of light pollution, I have seen some things up in the night’s sky that I can't explain. Weird shit.
But that's where that story ends. “I can’t explain it”.
But that doesn’t mean that nobody else can.
The thing-is with conspiracy theories, is that whole “connecting of dots that are both real and imagined”.. Namely the imagined ones. Now, maybe it’s just me (…and it probably is ;0), but, when I start connecting dots that are both real and imagined I invariably end-up in a box which requires a certain amount of contradiction of real-reality to stay on that path. At that point, it’s not even a mental exercise, it’s a waste of time.
But.. I have a foolish amounts of time to waste right now. So..
....Now .. Watching THIS:
…would be a better waste of anybody’s time over reading the rest of …vvv ..this crap. Aaaaaaand it’s an “out” you might want to take. ;0)
But.. :0) ..Just going by the numbers, there’s life on other planets. That’s just logical. If there is life in a flow on this one, then there is, or has been, or will be life on other planets. Life dumber/smarter and/or better looking than life that is currently on our own.
Life elsewhere – possibly, enjoying amp modelers made out of real helixes and real fractals.
What is Illogical, to me ..is a biological species, traveling one-hundred and sixty generations (or whatever), at speeds to where - if they hit anything in their path while traveling – a pebble, floating through space (for example), it would end their excursion pretty-quick. An intelligent species traveling massive distances over time, surviving–even evolving to survive space travel over that time.. Traveling for possibly eons .. to carry-out the exercise of …looking at a plant, or a chimp, in a zoo.
It’s mad! .. It’s like ??? …you or me - right now, setting out on foot, walking to the nearest ocean, to swim to Hawaii. Then, walking barefoot over a lava-field-or-two, to the nearest volcano to huff some poisonous gasses before walking, again, to the nearest ocean to swim to Africa, to punch a lion in the balls – just to see what would happen – before hoofing, and then swimming, over to Greenland – in our speedos - etc., etc., etc., and whatnot, JUST to say we saw an indigenous plant or bird.
BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT THAT DOOR!!! …It’s suicide - it’s a stupid thing to do with your time. But, y’know, if you do, …take video of the lion ball-punching thing.
My point is, you would think that super-intelligent types would have better things to do with generations.
Because Biology dictates that not much can survive for long outside of it’s own planetary habitat.
...Varying radiation types and levels, Atmospherics – Pressures, Gasses etc., Gravity, Bacteria, Mold, Microorganisms of every flavor, all life in general etc.. Are all unique to a planet. …As a visitor, you just don’t survive past what you have evolved to survive in.
So, no. If pushed. I don’t believe in “visitors”.. I think any would-be “visitors” are smarter than embarking on any-such journey.
Probes? like the Gemini.. Yeah. Makes more sense.. Still unlikely, since the times and distances are so vast; the chances of a probe sustaining damage or malfunctions in transit are pretty-much certain; and the chances that any viable probes are reporting back to anything other than a blasted wasteland of a planet - now devoid of all life, is high; considering the natural ebbs and flows of life on all planets, including our own, which arguably might be in “ebb”.
I think all these conspiracy theories - the connecting of dots that likely shouldn’t be blotted on the same page, the “aliens” the “bigfoot” … the “wimmin” ..are just dots we tend to connect to distract us from too much introspection. It’s intellectual entertainment. It’s distraction from reality of our own making. It’s nice to know that there’s something bigger out there, and that we are not alone – being the seemingly VERY insecure species that we are..
Are we alone? ..My guess is, we’re not. Logically the numbers indicate that we are not. My guess also is - logically speaking, we may as well be.
