Can we trust a man who claims his cancer was cured by remote healing and admits to having conducted ESP experiments while on the moon? Gut answer: No. Revised answer upon further reflection: No — but I’ve never been more jacked for that “X Files” movie!
Exit question: Are aliens visiting earth technically subjects of our new world president while they’re here, or do they enjoy interstellar diplomatic immunity?

AP… don’t you want to believe ?
JetBoy on July 24, 2008 at 4:53 PM
All I can say is that the aliens are here already. I’ve just got back from the mother ship. I’m really excited because I picked up one of their books while I was there and have been working on translating it. So far I’ve got the title, it’s called “To Serve Man.” I’m all excited about it. Apologies to Damon Knight but I just couldn’t resist.

Apollo 14 was an “also-ran” in terms of moon landings. Who cares, who remembers them? (jerk mode off)

Oh yeah.
But we never landed on the moon. So the guy’s lying about that too. What a tool.

As I said in yesterday’s post: Buzz Aldrin, James Lovell, Frank Borman, Gordon Cooper…all astronauts that believe.
Just saying.

oh now I get it..
Obama, “This Rev. Wright is NOT the Rev, Wright that i knew.. ” (The Old Rev. Wright got abducted by aliens and Obama is covering it up!!! it a conspiracy!)
Obama, “This is not the Jesse Jackson that I know, the old Jesse Jackson got abducted by aliens also and Obama is covering it up! ”
Obama, “this is not the Father Phleger that i know, HE got taken into the spaceship too!” 8^|
Obama is in cahoots with da aliens, they keep stealing people, and Obama isn’t spilling da beans.. hmmmm…

Like I would make something like that up,geez…..
bbz123 on July 24, 2008 at 5:19 PM
I think that argon-powered death ray (ok, I’m not good at the geeky SF stuff) that can destroy the solar system gives them immunity.
Yeah, there’s goes the parking at the UN.

I for one welcome our new alien overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted blog commenter personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

…argon-powered death ray…
“It is possible to synthesize excited bromide in an argon matrix. It’s an excimer frozen in its excited state. It’s a chemical laser but in solid, not gaseous, form.”
Now if you know what movie that quote is from, you a truly a Sci-Fi Geek worthy or praise!

Not the first… and won’t be the last…
I worked with High Power Air Search Radars in the Navy for over 20 years… and saw MANY MANY MANY unexplained things…
Things going WAY too fast… things changing direction faster than anything man can make… things going verticle at high rates of speed… and can attest to the fact that Yes, some are told NOT TO TALK about what they’ve seen.
Little Men? Never saw em… weirdness? in abundance…

I just hope those aliens can speak French beyond “merci beaucoup”; I don’t want to be embarrassed of our ignorant Alien-Americans.

why are the aliens fascinated with our rectums and why do they always insist on using that large probe all the time? Is it for actual research or do they do it just for fun to mock us? sick little creatures..

But please continue the snark… its like the Global warming debate… there are idiots on both sides, and so one technique of debate is to paint ALL of the other side as idiots.

I’ve no doubt about your info, Romeo. Where we are in sync is ‘weirdness’. Explanations are few, guesses are many.

Why would it be surprising that our vast universe doesn’t contain more than “this”?!?!?!? Surely there’s more out there. We haven’t even been the very bottom of our own oceans, much less come to an understanding of our place in the universe.
SouthernGent on July 24, 2008 at 6:12 PM
Heh. Well, that’s what distinguishes the value of your anecdotal evidence as opposed to Romeo’s (or Mitchell’s).
————
I am curious, actually, about one thing. The subject of aliens seems to invite ridicule. What is the cause: do people find the subject itself comical or is it the people that talk about the subject?
Spirit of 1776 on July 24, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Romeo13 on July 24, 2008 at 5:50 PM
Didn’t mean it as a personal attack, its just that for seventy years we have been hearing these things and still no concrete evidence other than geeks saying they have been…ahem… “probed”.
You might have seen some odd radar anomalies, but until you can prove to me that the radar couldn’t possibly have shown false signals, its just guessing. But I suppose one guess is as good as another, again, nothing personal.

Re: psychic, Russell Targ’s Inifinite Mind is also of interest. His take, though, is within a few minutes; whereas this astronaut’s take only regards sequence, seemingly superior ability. Oddly interesting phenomena.
Re: Spiegel PRO-OBAMARX, vomit Deutsche utopia formula 44.
It takes a Nazi to demasculinize our war hero on account of war injuries. Hell, Obama doesn’t comb his own hair, either. It’s shaved for him, and that’s as far as that goes. That this German needs a Basketball Globe Trotter in the Oval Office in order to feel comfortably warm and fuzzy before admitting his residual sick repulsion is Spiegel’s own tell in this 44 game.

Blackened or cajun? I hear they taste out of this world.
shaken on July 24, 2008 at 7:25 PM
Aliens here? Of course we are. I’m sure most of you, if you take a look around at any Senator Obama rally will quickly realize that you cannot be from the same gene pool. I’m sure you realize from the structure of your teeth and your “food cravings” that you are an omnivore. Many Earthlings do not. I’m sure most of you recognize the Earth as a resource to be consumed in long term efforts to get off this rock before something smacks it. Most of them do not. I’m sure many of you can face an opposing view and argue logically in an effort to support your view WITHOUT resorting to spitting and shouting “Liar Liar Pants On Fire!” as your key point on which to base your argument.
Feel free to add to the list of obvious genetic differences..

Psycho ex-astronaut: “Yes, we have been visted by extraterrestrials, and I was officially briefed on it. It’s about time somebody told the world the real inside story on that.”
English interviewer guy: “Um… OK, well, then what IS the real inside story on that?”
Psycho ex-astronaut: [Indignant over the Spanish Inquisition he's being dragged through] “I just told you: We’ve been visited by aliens!”
Call me crazy, but wouldn’t any normal person expect that to be the BEGINNING of the story, instead of the END of it?

Dr. Charles G. Waugh on July 24, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Serious question: What benefit does NASA gain by covering up a half-century of extraterrestrial alien encounters?
NASA is an organization with a mission to find extraterrestrial alien life. If NASA had scientific proof of exobiological sentience, then they would have publicly disclosed it for no other reason than more funding.
ScottMcC on July 24, 2008 at 7:59 PM
I’d be more inclined to believe an astronaught than some neck-bearded conspiracy nut.
Neo on July 24, 2008 at 8:02 PM
You’re right of course- NASA would be pushing even the slightest hint of evidence of alien life to secure more funding.
But the obvious counter by the “I want to believe” set? They’re part of the conspiracy. The same one that has supposedly managed to perfectly cover up all proof of alien contact, yet for some reason lets people videotape “alien autopsies” and tells astronauts that there really are aliens out there.
I find it a bit difficult to accept the notion that intelligent life spent 100 years travelling one way to get here only to probe an anus or two then go home.
Hollowpoint on July 24, 2008 at 8:10 PM
Where did I put my tin foil hat?
koolbrease on July 24, 2008 at 8:17 PM
Yeah, but the look on the Earthlings’ faces when they do it is priceless.
Serious answer- I read a compelling explanation somewhere. Apparently many of those “probed” were victims of sexual abuse (usually when they were young), typically by a friend or family member. Rather than confront the fact that their uncle/father/stepfather/whomever abused them, they convince themselves it was really an alien who did these things to them. Supposedly it’s a mechanism to avoid coping with the abuse.
Hollowpoint on July 24, 2008 at 8:22 PM
It’s the people who talk about it and believe it. Case in point: the astronut referred to in this story. He claims his (undiagnosed) cancer was cured by a kid who wished it away, and has been involved in other goofy subjects.
Every time there’s a (grainy, out of focus, unsteady) video purporting to be of a UFO, they’re quick to embrace it as real. When shown to be a hoax, they explain that just because it was a hoax doesn’t mean all such sightings are hoaxes.
They want to believe so badly that the complete lack of evidence to support their belief is acutally evidence itself- the conspiracy is covering it up, and since if it wasn’t true there would be no conspiracy, therefore it must be true.
If compelling proof of alien life comes out, I’ll eagerly embrace it as true. Until then- no evidence, no reason to believe it.
Hollowpoint on July 24, 2008 at 8:32 PM
You are right of course. And if you look at it mathematically, the universe is billions of years old. We have been around for just a bit of that (200,000 years maybe?). Any civilization would be easily a 1,000 or 10,000 years ahead of us or behind us.
So why not drop by and say “hi”, why always the desert, late at night alone…and as brought out, why always probe “there”?
right2bright on July 24, 2008 at 8:33 PM
Okay, something is weird, four times I have tried to link this story from CNN, but I keep getting blocked.
So here it is from ABC.
Weird is all over.
right2bright on July 24, 2008 at 8:40 PM
Thanks for the comment. The chap actually says something to that effect in the interview - ie about ufology being surrounded with the absurd.
The opposite argument is in effect as well, ie no one can keep a secret therefore everyone would know.
re: goofy subjects. I follow that. When I first read that link, it did occur to me that if you saw something that reframed your entire world-view, then it seems likely that one would be willing suddenly to embrace other ‘out-of-the-box’ ideas. That’s just speculative though, and doesn’t appear to apply anyway in this case b/c seems like that happened before what he is talking about here.
The connection w/ sexual assault is not to be dismissed, but mental trauma via “encounter” might cause similar effect - ie a mind a little loose on the hinges (not to say that’s what’s happened here).
These sort of arguments always fall short, imo, because it is projection of known motive of known thought processes onto the unknown.
Spirit of 1776 on July 24, 2008 at 8:43 PM
I was in AIT [Advanced Infantry Training]. We had bivouacked for the day on a high knob, with a clear view of the surrounding terrain. This was Fort Hood, Texas 1961.
We had spent most of the afternoon digging defensive trenches that surrounded the camp. To the man we were exhausted.
As the sun was slowly disappearing as a big red ball in the west…
Jonsey yelled. “What the hell is that…?”
Someone responded, “My god damn mother inlaw you assehole?”
“No you dumb bastard, what the hell is that?” Jonesy yelled again.
As tired as we were, we turned in the direction Jones’s was pointing.
There was a craft that was circular, approximately twenty meters [65 feet] in diameter. It was elipitacal in that at it’s edges, it was knife edge thin and at it’s center it appeared approximately two meters [7 feet] thick.
It appeared finished like burnished stainless steel, it didn’t shine in the setting sun. Around bothe the upper and lower perimeters there appeared to be portholes spaced about one meter [3 feet] apart. The dark areas were not round. The dark areas appeared square with rounded corners.
The “jaw dropping” amazement of the troop resulted from the fact that… the craft was flying, perfectly suspended in the air about 35 meters [100 feet] above the descending northeast slope of our encampment.
It made no sound!
It was absolutely silent!
It moved slightly up and down as it hovered, very slightly, perhaps a foot or two?
The whole squad assembled at the perimeter, gazing in absolute total astonishment and disbelief.
The craft then very slowly descended down the slope and slid vertically around the low scrub at the base of the knob and disappeared.
Our verbal report the next morning to the NCOIC, was met with verbal derision, threats of retaliation for “blowing smoke” and an extra “five miles” for fun.
Oh well!
I was there, I witnessed!

OK so why do these guys always wait 30 years before mentioning this stuff? Why not just come back from the mon and say “you won’t believe what I saw!” Instead, “Now that I’m old, infirm, wear diapers and eat mush I just thought I’d bring up this little alien incident.”
Maybe they are South Park Aliens.
