Start a conversation?

Start a conversation eh? Is that a bit of a non-starter these days as no-one seems to want to converse?

I guess I'm flogging a dead horse but I'll give the readers something to read and hope someone wants to actually say something relevant?

There's a move afoot to make the US government release lots of info about UFOs but what is your view on the subject? Do you "believe" UFOs are from someplace else in the Universe?

My view is that they're not UFOs at all, they're Unexplained Aerial Phenomena = UAPs instead which is something completely different.

No-one is ever close to these "things", videos and photos are distant and/or fuzzy so some strange shape or light is hardly an alien craft? That is, unless you "believe" in such things or "want" them to be what you believe, = of alien origin. The only certain fact is that they're unexplained.

Look at things from a logical point of view. We can see things approaching from Space so how come an alien craft isn't spotted way out there? How could it suddenly appear in our atmosphere? People claim a "UFO" has moved at great speed, or has been seen then accelerated away or has moved fast but then slowed or hovered. Think about it a moment, something accelerating or slowing quickly does the same to anything living within in it. How come some alien being could survive such sudden acceleration or deceleration? If we humans moved or slowed quickly our bodies wouldn't withstand such fast movements? We're talking really fast speeds, not just a couple of thousand miles per hour.

We have "fast" aircraft that cause sonic booms, how come these supposed fast alien craft don't cause them? 

The two Voyager spacecraft are both still going after 40 years. Voyager 1 is around 14 billion miles from Earth and travelling at around 40,000 MPH (rough figures there) so how come some of these aliens haven't intercepted it or tried to call it or us to say "Hello"? Voyager 2 is a few billion miles less distant and that's still going OK too. Neither craft have hit anything (yet?) and are still sending back data so surely if there's really advanced life anywhere near us (near us in space terms) how come they've not found the transmissions and joined in?

Look how long it's taken the Voyager craft to get to where they are now? In space terms the distance covered is minute? So, to make space travel in a relatively short space of time, you'd have to travel at terrific speed and to get to that speed, you've got to accelerate and then.... you've got to slow down when and if you get somewhere! We see meteorites burning up in our atmosphere, so, how come we don't "see" these supposedly alien craft entering our atmosphere? Meteorites are travelling at anything between 25,000 and 150,000 MPH, so some alien craft can come here, slow down, enter our atmosphere without causing such disturbance that we'd see them? Oh, it's "advanced technology"? OK, can't explain something so invent something that can't be refuted?

The Universe is vast, we've no idea "how far it goes" or if we're near the end, the beginning or in the middle. It's logical to expect that somewhere "out there" will be other forms of intelligent life but as to whether any of them has travelled here, (why here anyway?) I think not.

Either that or they can't get in here? It looks like the idea of mucking about with the boards was to kill them off altogether.

I recently read about a huge Ganna Ray burst a billion light years away and there was a photo of it causing someone to make a comment something like "How is it they can photograph something so far away but we can't get a clear image of a "UFO" in our atmosphere?"

Very true eh?

There's a news report now about when the first stars formed. It says the first stars formed between 250 and 350 million years after the Big Bang, that's over 13 billion years ago! They say they've used a combination of several telescopes to look further back in time to see the earliest galaxies.

So particles of light has been travelling through all ages of the Universe all that time and nothing got in their way eh?

Now if the Universe was created by some astronomic explosion, what came out of it would go in all directions? That being so, wouldn't there be some central point where it all kicked off and we don't know exactly where we are in relationship to the complete Universe? OK, so we know where we are in relationship to our "own" little corner of our Galaxy, but when we look "out" where are we looking? Do we know? Which way is towards the "centre"? If we look towards that centre, there will be at least just as much stuff on "the other side of centre"?

Lots of things to do with the greater Universe is just enlightened guesswork really?
