Excellent. I know if I had such knowledge I wouldn't be able to keep it to myself and if nothing else I'd tell all right from my deathbed. I mean I'm going to die soon anyway, right? What could they possibly do to me? I'd be sure to make it as public as possible. That way they can't threaten to harm my family after I die. The public masses would know what's going on and who to blame should anything suspicious happen.

If there are aliens I believe the gov't and military are covering it up.

To say that no-one has spilled the beans is simply not right because the 2001 Disclosure Project had 450 witnesses from the military and from other disciplines some of whom made statements at that press conference.

There has also been another press conference within the last month and more witnesses have made statements.

The newslite article linked to above has no link to the UN discounting what the Times has said. There IS a link to the UN website however, which tells us nothing.

It would hardly have made a major British newspaper such as the Times or telegraph or Guardian if they were not fairly certain of their sources.

Last year there was a well-known Bulgarian scientist(deputy director) who came out to say that they had been in contact with aliens. This UK Telegraph news article reports

The point is that even if there are people of good authority and respect who come out and say that we are in communication with aliens, there will always be factions who do not want disclosure and who will deny it. Coupled with this, there are people on most forums who are paid to spread disinfo. Anyone who really wants to know could easily find out enough to convince themselves, but most people are a little afraid of what they may discover if they dig too deeply.

I have posted this official NASA photo on this forum about 3 or 4 times and no-one has made any comment at all about it - because there is no comment to make. It says it all. I doubt anyone will comment on it this time either.

You do not get this kind of square bordered (with a corner cut off too) structure in a natural setting, so...how did it get there?

Please, this isn't a Conspiracy forum. It's a Science and Technology forum.

You posted the exact same thing today in the Religion and Philosophy forum (The "Aliens Are NOT Fake" Thread, page 4, post #35). Mercury Cougar provided a link with a clear answer for you in post #40 showing examples of natural formations that look artificial. If you haven't already seen MC's post, you might want to take a look at it. Here's the link MC posted.
18 Natural Formations that Look Man-Made : WebEcoist

To determine is something like the square bordered structure is artificial, you first need to rule out natural causes.There's no question there are many things that can and do indeed look pretty strange. But yes, you CAN "...get this kind of square bordered (with a corner cut off too) structure in a natural setting...". In effect, what you're talking about is a psychological phenomena known as 'pareidolia'.

Regarding the, um, "alien spaceship landing footprint" taken by the Mars rover...

My take on aliens, if they exist.....if they are peaceful and don't bring some sort of disease or something that accidentally wipes us out or destroys our planet or cultures, then by all means welcome to Earth! If, however, they are like the Klingon Empire or Darth Vader or something like that, I hope they stay the hell away from us!

Do you think that if we aren't invited into the party we could at least wait out front and park their cars for them. Later we could dress up in waiter/witress costumes, sneak into the back door, mingle around them and see what they are up to. Think a special addition to the punch bowl wouldn't be out of line considering how they've been treating us all these years.

I don't particularly believe that this theory is a reality, but it's one that I've been hearing about and read a little about over the past few years. As I said, have heavy doubts but fun to think about.

Like religion, there are those who believe and those who dont and only time will tell who is right. We are both wasting our time, right?

Anyone who has done the rounds of the 'anomaly websites' will either be convinced or will laugh their heads off and it just depends how sure you are that everything is right with the world and governments are honest and true and have our best interest at heart.

If you do think this, then you will probably not believe there are aliens out there big enough to do us any damage.

If however, you believe that the governments are not telling us the truth, you will probably believe SOME of the evidence for aliens.

Like everything on the internet, there is good and bad stuff out there. You have to look at very little of it to begin asking awkward questions. Anyway, each person has to decide for themselves, we cannot convince you one way or the other.
