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.

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.

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.

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'?

A tiny ball made from titanium and vanadium "with a 'gooey' biological liquid oozing from its centre" found in the upper atmosphere, it sounds like standard click-bait bollocks but it is quoting an eminent nobel prize winning microbiologist so maybe quite credible.

directed panspermia as a potential origin of life on earth is interesting
it's also compelling, to me, to you bake in the notion that there are alien communication signals out there that we've yet to develop the capacity to collect--as if the seeds were planted with a tape recorder, and barring a downward shift in technological development we plants might any day now figure out how to press play

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

― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 28 November 2023 16:45 (four months ago) link
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.
