More plausible ... http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,24084861-27197,00.html



Another interview, here:
http://dsc.discovery.com/space/qa/al...-mitchell.html

Before his stories broke on the news, the topic came up on another forum. Someone's point of view was, that any civilization capable of traveling interstellar distances would put enough redundancy into their designs that, if avoiding detection was their aim, they would succeed. The conclusion of this person was, either we'd never see the alien craft or we'd have seen several. But our manipulating circumstances, so the we catch a semi-hazy glimpse of one, or they make a sloppy landing that leaves a little, dubious, evidence was running counter to why they'd visit in secret at all.

There were more flying saucer pictures before digital cameras and auto-focus.

That says it all, really.

Oh dear, oh dear, somebody must have cut the "anti-cranky old coot" medications over at the Old Astronaut Home -- http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2...are-not-t.html

I truly didn't know NASA was that far ahead on it's meteor defense plans -- oh, wait, it's not, this is some pre-emptive biatching. Carry on, then.

Why would aliens ever want to come here?

they have a horrible rep on this planet. They are known as cow molesters, adult men molesters, destroy our crops to make artwork, and have back door deals with a government that could, by sheer governmental incompetence, misplace an entire country by simply filing it.

Just accept that we're alone in the universe. No alien intelligence out there is going to bail us out down here. It is up to the human race. That should keep you up at night.

Yep, in all of those galaxies (300,000 last time I checked) there are absolutely no aliens.
