using machines does make more sense and using probes that look like saucers or other UFOs makes sense if they've been here long enough to studies humans. there are historical religious texts depicting UFOs for centuries across many different religions.

Yes, they appear in religious Western art. There are Biblical accounts that can be about UFOs(Ezekiel, Elijah and the pillar that hovered over the Jews out of Egypt to found Israel feeding them mana). The Hindu scripture has Vimanas, UFOs.

As for why probes would be saucer-shaped. Self-replicating machines like von Neumann probes adapt and evolve to best suit their intended environment and are difficult to detect, by extension moreso on Earth at this time period because a saucer shape has lowest possible radar cross-section.

Type 1 is Flash Gordon, Type 2 is Star Trek Federation of Planets. Type 1 has fully harnessed the power of its home planet, Type 2 has harnessed more than one star system. Type 3 is galactic and has harnessed a galaxy.

Also, we recently found tunnels at the edge of our star system that lead to the nearest star system, Proxima Centauri. There is a habitable super Earth there called Proxima Centauri b, and if it has life that system is older and life would have had a head start on our planet by several millions of years. We received a radio signal from there in 2019 but it's inconclusive if it's a technosignature. What I can deduce is it is inhabited by a civilization they are much more advanced than us of they haven't self-destructed. It's feasible for them to have travelled here using solar sails or von Neumann probes, the latter would be nearly impossible to detect. Unless they are us and travelled here to colonize by redirecting the asteroid to kill off the dinosaurs to make it safe then hybridized their animals with ours and with apes to adapt to Earth, could have happened. In any case, that's just speculative but it's a thought.

that's interesting. if the civilization is older then there is a possibility they came here that would also fit with the speculation that life on earth was an experiment. wouldn't the use of solar sails be relatively slow(faster than a solid fuel shuttle)and take decades to a near century to travel that distance?

Proxima Centauri b is tidally locked to its star like our moon with one side always day and one side always night. If there is life there it's diurnal on one side and nocturnal on the other. You'd expect more carnivory on the night side due to not enough light for photosynthesis. Intelligent life can be omnivorous and would inhabit the border twilight areas as prime real estate that is temperate. Upon detecting Earth they'd be motivated to travel there because it's all prime real estate. There is also the factor of slower time on Earth because a Proxima Centauri b year is 11 days in Earth time, time is relative to the orbital period of a planet around its star.

Experiment may be in part to determine if a biosphere of life can sustain organisms that aren't polarized in evolution by tidal lock and that live longer in number of years. And/or to observe what happens in a hybrid ecosystem they seed that is based on theirs. Again, speculative possibilities to think about.

On that note, DC is producing yet another version of Batman. 'Ultimate' but the ultimate Batman is Flashpoint Batman already and he travels to all the DC Universes. If I was a writer I'd send Thomas Wayne to Batman Ultimate where he starts murdering the bad guys and Ultimate Batman gets his ass handed to him trying to stop it not accepting Flashpoint Batman's strictly lethal methods.

ugh sick today haven't been feeling that great since the start of the week but just thought it was the weather until last night when this shit hit me like a ton of bricks.

"Prior to 9/11, we didn't put enough money toward counter-terrorism, and our intelligence agencies didn't share enough information," he continued. "Everyone looked back and said, 'We could have done this better.'

"My interview subjects point out that we're now in a situation where that stigma around UAPs is creating hurdles for us to appropriately address this issue with a whole government approach.'

The 'government approach' is causing the problems not solving them.

Something else that I found really eye-opening is how truly bipartisan this topic is at a time where Democrats and Republicans don't agree on anything.

Both of them are incompetent shitheads so they have common ground.

There's no urgency for UFO disclosure because governments are the greatest problem, it's imperative for all the world leaders to set their differences aside and have a kumbaya moment holding hands in a circle frotting with a giant whaledick.

"Without decorum, without respect, what do we got? What do we have, truly?"

Freedom of speech then a kumbaya moment when world leaders hold hands in a circle frotting with a giant whaledick.

Elon's rockets are exploding as usual, he's losing ~45 billion of his net worth a month and sending letters to people telling them to list ten things they achieved last month or they'll be fired when the only thing he's achieving is being an incompetent shithead like everyone else involved in government and now he lost the authority to fire people at the Department of Orally Gratifying Erotically mansex division.

Smartest man is Dr. Michio Kaku, case in point that only incompetent shitheads get involved with politics and government. No genius works with incompetent shitheads.
