[News] Congressional hearing on UFOs

[Loadicus Trux]

Personally, I don't think lifeforms can get that advanced, they would have wiped themselves out long before developing FTL drives.

Just like we will.

Just because there are zillions of planets it doesnt mean for sure there is life but I would be surprised if there is not. For us to have been visited then they must be fairly close to us and existed the same time as us. Considering how old the universe is then maybe that is unlikely. The fact that governments are treating us like f... kids and covering up possible UFOs is a scandal. Who the f... do they think they are.

And if it is covering up the testing of secret military projects? Is that also a scandal, or a wise move to keep potential enemies guessing? If they are testing something new, something other countries haven't even considered or imagined, how would telling the world of its existence be beneficial, or the right move to make.

Surely other countries, once they then hear of the attempts to develop or perfect that will set up a programme to create their own version and to develop counter measures. (Same way a lot of the western countries responded when they found out Russia and China had hypersonic missiles.

Far better to for the authorities to let people think they are UFOs from another planet than admit when they are actually doing, which also has the added benefit of maintaining national security.

Errr not everything is down to secret military testing.

I think Douglas Adams explained this well.

Population of Universe: None. Although you might see people from time to time, they are most likely products of your imagination. Simple mathematics tells us that the population of the Universe must be zero. Why? Well given that the volume of the universe is infinite there must be an infinite number of worlds. But not all of them are populated; therefore only a finite number are. Any finite number divided by infinity is zero, therefore the average population of the Universe is zero, and so the total population must be zero.​
