Been watching it lately. Most sounds crazy but some of it is sounding some what plausible. Thoughts?

i got through 10 minutes. just awful stuff
 
I actually started trying to watch it on netflix last weekend. I lasted maybe 20 minutes into the first episode. They take this 1500 year bold metallic figurine that easily could be an artist's rendition of a bird and say that it is a fighter jet and then they make a model of it and fly it. I just couldnt' stand watching any more of it. They clearly have never heard of Occam's razor.

the same is true of most Blazer fans. And not just because you're showing off your college education and it's not a well known philosophical saying.

Plus, "Occam" sounds like that noise Jay Sherman would make on "The Critic", when he was eating.

achem-achem-achem....
 
I read Eric Von Danken (sp?) books when they first came out. It was great entertainment. Then I read books that explained EVERYTHING those books said were unexplained.

I've seen all the ancient aliens episodes. Good entertainment, again. I'm not sure what anyone would find plausible, though.
 
Remember those commercials from the 80's, the Time Life books of the Unexplained?

A woman in Tucson is driving to work and has a car accident and breaks her right leg..at the exact same time her sister in Portland trips while jogging in Forrest park, and breaks her left leg! Coincidence! Or Unexplained blah blah blah!!!

Well, I remember seeing a show about unexplained shit, and how there was a "highway of rocks" in the ocean. Never saw how that got explained.
 
The bimini road.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimini_Road

The consensus among conventional geologists and archaeologists is that the Bimini Road is a natural feature composed of beachrock that orthogonal and other joints have broken up into rectangular, subrectangular, polygonal, and irregular blocks. The geologists and anthropologists who have personally studied the Bimini Road include Eugene Shinn[6][22] of the U.S. Geological Survey; Marshall McKusick.[5][23] an Associate Professor of Anthropology at University of Iowa; W. Harrison[24] of Environmental Research Associates, Virginia, Beach Virginia; Mahlon M. Ball and J. A. Gifford[4][25] of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami; and Eric Davaud[10] and A. Strasser[11] of the Department of Geology and Paleontology, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland. After either inspecting or studying the Bimini Road, they all concluded that it consists of naturally jointed beachrock. John A. Gifford, a professional geologist, spent a significant time studying the geology of the Bimini Islands for his University of Miami Master's thesis[26] about the geology of the Bimini Islands. Calvert and others[8] identified the samples that they dated from the Bimini Wall as being natural beachrock.

Detailed studies by E. Davaud and A. Strasser[10][11] of Holocene limestones currently exposed on North Bimini and Joulter Cays (Bahamas) reveal the sequence of events likely responsible for creating beachrock pavements like the Bimini Road. First, a complete beach sequence of shallow subtidal, intertidal, and supratidal carbonate sediments accumulated as the shoreline of North Bimini built seaward during part of the Holocene. Once the deposition of these sediments built the North Bimini's shoreline seaward, freshwater cementation of the carbonate occurred at some depth, possibly even a meter or so below sea level, beneath the island's surface. This cementation created a band consisting of a thick primary layer of semilithified sediments and thinner discontinuous lenses and layers of similar semilithified sediments beneath it. Later, when erosion of the island's shoreline occurred, the band of semilithifed sediment was exposed within the intertidal zone and the semilithified sediments were cemented into beachrock. As the sediments underlying the eroding shoreline was eroded down to Pleistocene limestone, the beachrock broke into flat-lying, tabular, and rectangular, subrectangular, polygonal, and irregular blocks as observed for modern beaches within the Bahamas by E. Davaud and A. Strasser.[10][11] Thinner layers of beachrock underlying the primary bed of beachrock were also broken up as the loose sediments enclosing them and the thicker primary bed were eroded. As the loose sediment was scoured out from under the blocks and other pieces of beachrock by so-called "scour and settling processes", they dropped downward for several meters until they rested directly on the erosion-resistant Pleistocene limestone as an erosional lag.[27][28] Eugene Shinn[6] discusses a similar, but not identical, process by which the Bimini Road could have been created.

The downward movement of large, solid objects by scour and settling processes has been documented by Jesse E. McNinch, John T. Wells, and other researchers.[27][28] They concluded that large, heavy objects could sink into the sea bottom by several meters without significant lateral movement as the result of scour and settling processes if an erosion-resistant layer of sediment was not encountered. In case of the beachrock blocks composing the Bimini Road and other pieces underlying it, the erosion-resistant layer that limited how far they were dropped downward by scour and settling processes is the Pleistocene limestone on which they now rest.

angels coming down from heaven on a flaming chariot could be aliens, id say it is probably MORE likely actually

and stargate was real
 
im not saying it was aliens, it was angels and god and stuff

You can see the photos for yourself on that WWW page. Sure looks like the exact same spot.

And why would they hide it if it were made by some intelligent beings?
 
they have already discovered ancient batteries, and a petrified vibrator
 
The stuff about recording sightings from the middle ages is interesting, particularlly what Columbus recorded in his logs during his journey to America. I think transposing the myths of the ancients into evidence that those myths were actual aliens is just a huge streach. Every culture has it's myths. Alot of the stuff they drew on caves is actually what they saw while under hallucinogenic trances.
 
Some of the biggest bullshit I've seen in a long time. We've had arguments before on the closest possible life supporting planet is 3,000 light years away. And that planet may not even support life. If one travels the speed of light, which is the fastest known speed we know, how in the fuck can someone or some thing be able to travel here? I'm not saying there can't be life on other planets. I'm saying we haven't been visited by aliens. Just don't think it could happen.

I don't believe in the ancient alien general stuff, but find it entertaining for the "well what if" factor. I'd love to read some of the "explain everything they claimed were unexplainable."

Well that stuff would be possible, but extremely unlikely. (space travel 3000 light years)
 
Some alien life forms might live a million years. To them, a 6000 year trip at half light speed wouldn't be a big deal.

Well anything is possible. But is it probable? Just like the "God" debates. God is possible, but from our technology, we can't see him. So since we can only go on "what we know"; then the average life is 60 years, and the fastest speed is lightspeed; which still isn't probable with life traveling at that speed. But what the hay, lets say organisms can travel that speed. 3,000 light years ÷ 60 years = 500 lifetimes. And this is the closest probable living planet.

Yeah, that was just my point, it's not probable, but not completely impossible. Although I would go with an 80 year life span or greater considering they do have the technology for interstellar travel. Who knows, what if it is computers or something along those lines?
 
I suspect that a lot of the UFO sightings in this country are government craft. Consider this, the most advanced planes in our arsenal right now are the F22 and the F117. Both those planes are decades old. I remember playing a game on my Sega that was called F22 back in the early 90s. These planes were top secret for a long time until the Soviet Union fell and we no longer had to hide them from our enemies. If we have made those planes public, I guarantee we have some cool shit that the Air Force hasn't made public. If we ever go to war with the Chinese (god forbid), I suspect we will see some very cool shit come out of the ground where we've hidden them.
 
whos to say that there isnt an immortal alien race? or that they havent found out a quicker way to travel?

i mean mags...you believe in angels and adam and eve, but think that aliens are illogical?
 
to a race that lives a million years, 3000 years is a drop in the bucket, especially when they would likely be stopping at places along the way

That's the thing. I am putting on the "There is no supernatural" hat on. Figured the people interested don't believe in God; so I am using their logic. With that in mind, it's not logical that a race could be immortal; since all carbon will break down.

Now this could be somewhat logical. What if an advanced race built "androids" and programed flight to possible "life giving" planets. Set them up with a bunch of DNA and were ordered to populate planets? And they would be able to communicate with "radio waves"; giving us the impression that they are telepathic. Those androids would have no timeline for termination because they developed a solar charging fuel cell.
