Do you think aliens in ufos have visited Earth? (And all things UFO) (29 Viewers)

I like Saagar Enjeti's coverage on UFO stuff

I'm really skeptical of this.

So these aliens in advanced spacecraft travel zillions of miles across the galaxy and then crash as they get to Earth…

if they would have taken the call about their spaccrafts extended warranty, they wouldn't have been in that prediciment.
Who says aliens aren't prone to make mistakes like humans?

I see nothing there.

Maybe there have been thousands, or tens of thousands, or millions of alien craft visiting Earth over time and only a very small percentage have crashed in recent history. Maybe humans even shot some of them down, Grusch says that's a possibility/capability, and that could make sense especially if these craft started "crashing" in coordination with the advancement of Earthly military technology. It's fun to speculate about, anyhow.

Well, these things happen when you put zillions of miles across the galaxy and forget your oil changes.

Who says they travel "zillions of miles" across the galaxy?

This is kinda where i think how many are working within the confines of what we know time/space to be. As it is defined by humans.

Shoot- why is there 24 hrs in a day? Who decided that 24 hrs would be the "standard" ? 7 days in a week? 30 or 31 days in a month? This is how we "track" time. So for us, travelling 20,000,000 miles would take years. ( as defined by our concept of time )

They may not.

Further, we are also assuming they are traveling from distant galaxies. They could be originating from our own universe.

Assuming Mr.Grusch is telling the truth, how mad does that really make you? We found the biggest discovery of human history and the first thought was to hide it and use it for military purposes, chase profits when you hire these supposed private contractor companies to analyze it rather than try to improve civilization as a whole by allowing more eyes to work on it.

There are so many smart people on this earth that would be chomping at the bits to get their hands on NHI tech and try to figure it out.

Assuming he's telling the truth (which, for me, is no given)...

What you're describing is not happening in a vacuum. It's happening in a world in which (presumably) the U.S. is in a race, yet again, with China and Russia to learn, harness, develop, protect, and utilize these technologies for it's presumed survival, defense, and advancement.

Fear, greed, and lust for power have been entwined with the story of human existence from the beginning.

Add Religion.

You think the Catholic Church is prepared to say " yeah sorry we had all yall believing and tithing etc etc" ? and effectively give up the money and influence it has wielded since humans could write?

I suspect they have been working on a plan for this for a really long time.

I don't really agree that this has any dire consequences for Catholic/Christian doctrine. Just like with the Copernican revolution or evolution, Christian theology would eventually morph/adapt (despite its more rigid sects being left behind and eventually dying off). The Bible itself is full of that sort of thing. Maybe that's all for a different thread.

That's exactly what would happen...but it would be ironic if our alien overlords sent missionaries to convert the human population to their religion(s).

Yes, religion has a habit of moving the goalposts whenever something contrary to their belief is proven or provided. I'm thinking that the line would be "God created the universe and inhabited it with beings after his image, but his image is always changing and is perceived differently by many.".

They may feel compelled to "save the heathens". We may all fall victim to their version of smallpox.
