CarolAnn 926 Posted May 20, 2008 I find it odd that none of these things has ever crashed while trying to land. We are after all located in the boondocks galaxy-wise , a dark and lonely place to run out of fuel or to need emergency flying saucer parts. Maybe they all have galaxy-side assistance. OK, it's too hot to get my coat but I'll step outside..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,641 Posted May 20, 2008 Catholic church - as in HQ in Rome - recently concluded there may be ET life. They don't seem so certain about whether it's ever visited Earth, mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monoclinic 39 Posted May 20, 2008 Catholic church - as in HQ in Rome - recently concluded there may be ET life. They don't seem so certain about whether it's ever visited Earth, mind. Er forgive me if I am wrong but surely they have always believed in ET life, ET being not of this Earth and the Heavens being er where one goes for eternal life. I've said a few hail Maryports for good measure ;-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,641 Posted May 21, 2008 Indeed they have MC. They issued a statement a few days ago specific to the kind of ET life we debate here. Speaking of which, is BS gonna return to this thread or has the thought of having to structure an argument driven him away? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted June 25, 2008 What's the betting that intelligent life finally contacts us from beyond our solar system and then signs on for sick benefits?

Monoclinic 39 Posted June 25, 2008 Well it won't be able to get back. Five minutes after arriving the UFO will be up on bricks and I bet it'll have difficulties finding a garage with the right spare parts.

maryportfuncity 10,641 Posted June 26, 2008 Maybe we're all - like - part of some huge living thing. I can go with this, and agree with the science, more readily than I can accept the usual pontifications in The Sun this week supported by a few light in the sky sightings and the predictable blatherings of Nick Pope.

halleluyahjohntudor 5 Posted July 10, 2008 Meanwhile, at Roswell. Wow! If verified, this would seem to establish that our extra-terrestrial friends are no closer than we are to the art of effective logo-design. Alternatively, it could be a misshapen bit of deer poo.

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted July 24, 2008 So Apollo 14 Astronaut Ed Mitchell claims that its all true, we are being visited and ET is real. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/art...d-60-years.html NASA doesnt share his opinion, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,641 Posted July 24, 2008 If you read Moondust - a book discussed elsewhere on this site - you'll note that Mitchell's mystical qualities have been received with mixed reactions by his former colleagues. He's also a painter, guru type figure and all round new age superstar, albeit an old age new ager these days. Some other astronauts have reported sightings, the best of which probably comes from Deke Slayton who tried without success to chase a large object in his piston engined fighter. In all probability Deke was chasing one of the Project Mogul style experiments using a weather balloon but it's significant that NASA and the USAF didn't gag him when it came to discussing his experience. He's appeared on a number of shows and videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godot 149 Posted August 13, 2008 So what colour is Mars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted August 13, 2008 So what colour is Mars? Comparing (what was) a blue patch on the lander in a photo taken back on Earth, under what I presume was artificial (blue/white) lighting, and the same patch on Mars under a red sky would obviously produce different results. If the original was photographed under a red-light then it would look significantly different. I find it laughable that someone has taken the time and effort to produce web site to highlight their own flawed knowledge of the properties of light and the photographic process. I'm waiting for them to put up a web site claiming photographers fake all their sunset photos. I mean, everyone knows the sky is blue, not red/orange. I've got a photo I took on the beach at midday that the proves it and that the sand is a whitish yellow, yet someone must have tampered with the one I took at sunset because the sky is a different colour and the sand is orange/red. If I was a moron I'd claim it was a conspiracy and set up a site to tell the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminator 13 Posted August 13, 2008 So what colour is Mars? Well....I reckon it's sort of "chocolaty", unless you observe it in Scotland, where it takes on a sort of "battered" complexion. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted January 30, 2009 Apparently, scientists have been trying to make contact with aliens for 150 years. In space, no one can hear you... On the subject of colossal wastes of time and money, any news on when the Large Hardon Collider is springing back into action? I kinda miss the LHC and the faux panic it almost caused. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kinda miss the LHC and the faux panic it almost caused. July 2009, CR. In the meantime, they're pouring the millions they're not spending into a holding account at the Nation Bank of Nigeria. I believe someone will be contacting you via email shortly, to arrange a funds transfer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarolAnn 926 Posted July 4, 2010 I had a serious, early morning moment of existential angst about where to put this - it was terrible. Coffee helped. Anyway, my cousin died last week and I'm going to his funeral. Despite your knee jerk reaction that I should have put this in whatever death in the family thread there is now, the fact is I'm going to Roswell, NM. I'll report in when I return on Friday, unless the anal probe reaches too far up and I can't type anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
