Aliens

and nick i'm talking about the space above it's eyes. if it's brain is not in it's head then why is everything else relatively in the right place - why the need for two eyes etc. - it never struck me as very logical. it's the wry smile as well. the face is so blank and featureless, as if designed to not communicate emotion thru facial movements (the nose and mouth are usually absurdly small compared to the eyes). in short, they suck - and i'm glad it turns out they probably don't exist after all (except in your mind, man)

For a laugh, one of the scientists decided to run it *forwards* rather than backwards, and - the eyes and forehead expanding while the jaw and brow grew less pronounced - the result a couple of million years into the future looked just like the "traditional" space alien!

Perhaps future, more advanced being = even more neotenous.

But it is more likely that this is a psychological thing. I once read of a survey of ppl who claimed to be alien abductees where all those who had claimed to had left the spacecraft through a tunnel had natural childbirth and all those who spoke of doors were born by Casesarian section.

The article I read did note the similarity between the "evolutionary future human" and a foetus.

If you are in a film, and you meet someone with an English accent, be very afraid. This is the rule. Like, all Nazis speak perfect English with cartoon German accents.

also: how does either neoteny theory lead to most of freud? his deal was surely (right or wrong in any other way) the ousting of biology-as-destiny?

(bah i wish i had a schwa T-shirt w.THAT on it)

Haeckel drew pictures of embryonic/foetal development at various stages to show how a mammal looks like a fish in the eraly stages of devlopment in the womb, then later like a reptile, just like the evolutionary stages. Except that it doesn't. He saw what he wanted to see.

I miss the Schwa Corporation stuff...

NO ONE DID SEE :(

It's more likely than not that there have been millions of civilizations somewhere among the hundreds of billions of stars within a hundred thousand light years of Earth, i.e., in this galaxy alone. It isn't more likely than not that any of them have found their way to this insignificant little world, even though it was more than 60 years ago that the democrats nuked Japan, thereby sending an electromagnetic pulse into space announcing that we have some technologically brilliant scientists and some sociopaths here. If we humans had evidence of such shenanigans on another planet, we'd be hard at work trying to find a way to go out there and have a look, working around the fact that our present knowledge says that it can't be done in anyone's lifetime.

As for believing in alien visitation...there are millions of people right now in this country who believe that a grandiloquent, done-nothing mediocre senator whose only notable accomplishment has been emphasizing a few of the myriad reasons why Bill Clinton's wife shouldn't be president, and who listened to two decades of anti-America vitriol from his "spiritual guide" without lifting a finger in his country's defense, ought to be Commander in Chief. Such people shouldn't have any trouble believing in extraterrestrians or anything else. If Barack Hussein Obama, a gifted orator (a complete description), tells them the aliens are teen-aged space-Mormon "elders" sent here to preach the joys of polygamy, they'll believe it.

i am totally copping that line of argument sometime

Isn't someone going to show a "real" living Ailien on video somewhere today? Denver or something?

Where did I read this? Don't remember

Denver Man Makes Alien Claim

Call me a doubter, but I'm a little skeptic.

It's a lot worse than I feared: it's not even a good fake.

that fake alien is evidently a total perv, as well

Compare with this deliberate fake video:

or chaki in a bra

It was unclear whether the creature was taller than 8 feet and was crouching to avoid detection or whether it was standing on something. It also was difficult, because of the faintness of the object, to tell whether it was three dimensional.

Is this just sarcasm or is the journo really 'unclear'?

Just what we needed to see.

The image of either a super tall ET ducking down below a window ledge or a smaller one standing on a box to peep at some teenagers is pretty funny though.

oh man i want to see this stan romanek video so bad

haha i love the way that alien in the window just rapidly zooms off at the end.

i love terribly executed hoaxes

the start of a viral publicity campaign for the new x-files movie?

stan tiger romanek

Scary!

This guy is a pretty obsessive debunker, iirc, almost to a fault, but this was a pretty easy demonstration of one sighting's possible cause:

the most compelling are the GIMBAL and GOFAST videos and that's all just instrument footage

Btw this was a good overview article (covers Mick West, Leslie Kean, etc):
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/05/10/how-the-pentagon-started-taking-ufos-seriously

yeah, I liked that article, but like a lot of reporting it felt pretty incomplete, because it has to be incomplete, because unidentified aerial phenomena etc.

the officially sanctioned 'disclosure' with elizondo et al is now alluding to remote viewing, skinwalkers, and all kinds of batshit stuff. it's been hugely entertaining to casually pay attention but i still don't understand the 'why'. concealing tech would have been one thing but now i think they're trying to drive people insane/divert from qanon? they're basically restarting the ufo cults

i mean, look at this shit. it has a harry reid quote on the cover!

also i’ve bought some jacque vallee books. man is fascinating

Jacques Vallée is a seriously cool dude

I quite enjoy the pic in that first post Guardian article

it’s slightly lonely being a left wing UFO guy since it's the purview of so many art bell adjacent cranks, but can someone here please explain to me why the government tried to pass a bill saying they would seize technology of nonhuman origin from military contractors and then why did the contractors use their influence to scuttle the important parts of the bill if there is nothing there and it’s all a distraction or whatever. facts and logic me please. this has been deeply fascinating and weird to follow the last few years and the topic and it’s ‘lore’ has never gotten to the level of actual legislation before

yes i want to believe etc etc but what is going on here

'mirage men' the book goes into the extensive history of intel services using UFO shit as a smokescreen for advanced projects but to my knowledge the civilian branches have never bitten to this extent

government passing a bill is easy - if there's something there they want to know, if not then no harm. plus as mirage men shows, gullible & venal senators are happy to sign up to anything that sees money coming their way. don't know about the contractors - healthy and sensible scepticism? don't know the ins & outs of what you're referring to though.

"non-human intelligence"?
