Ancient Aliens - What's the proof?

sure people see unidentified things all the time. This doesn't make them alien as its been repeatedly explained before. Unidentified does not mean alien it just means we haven't got enough information yet.

the best alien encounters "light shows" always have the alien heading for an individual. the object stops then slowly moves either left or right then rapidly heads off in the direction it came. What people always misinterpret is the angle of approach. We assume something is flying right at us. It probably isn't. If you looked at the "object" from above you'd have seen a jet fighter flying close to directly at you. then it makes a 180 turn which from the ground makes the "object" appear to almost be motionless. then the plane accelerates in the opposite direction. This isn't a big mystery.

Wait you say there was no sound. unless that plane is within a couple miles you won't hear a thing. remember that distance at night are impossible to tell. All these people see are a light. Its more than 10 feet away but how far they cant tell.

Heck I've even seen a video of a supposed alien approaching an apollo mission. I assume it was filmed by an Astronaut. If the conspiracy theorist would have asked NASA scientists instead of speculating on the nature of the aliens desire to meet us, they'd have realized it was a piece of space junk or a meteor that like the jet fighter approached the ship at a supposed angle that looks like it was heading straight for them. It wasn't. Again without a point of reference its impossible to visually tell the direction of approach of objects. This object obviously was coming at the Earth at a fairly low angle and basically bounced back off the atmosphere. What looks like the object slowing to a stop is nothing more than it approaching the low end of a hyperbola before it left on its journey back into space.

Sometimes its best to just look at the simple answers. Everyone thinks they are Sherlock Holmes and they'll solve the case through elimination of all logical conclusions and if the only conclusion is impossible it still must be true. The sad fact is most UFO hunters choose willingly to ignore the truth and logical explanations because they are to easy. Preferring to believe in the unbelievable makes a better story than not.

The distance between stars is too vast for living tissue to survive a space trip, however robotic life would be able to survive such trip. Lets send a probe to GlieseD to see if that planet is indeed habitable. Gliese is 20 ligth years from Earth, very close to the sun.

its hard enough to get a probe accurately to Pluto. You want to send one unaided to A star light years away. At least in the solar system we can ignore the galactic wind and he galactic drift that would occur in the 40,000 years it would take to get there

I would imagine the probe sent to GlieseD would use a fusion propulsion system, not Ion or fission propulsion. I do think sustained fusion will become a reality, hopefully in the next 40 years, fusion will reactors become comercially feasible and those can be applied to propulsion systems as well for spaceships.

I can't wait ??

Accelerating at just one g would get you to the nearest star in just a few years. Cosmic rays might doom any human inhabitant of the space ship however.

johnnie,

Don't forget F=ma at relatively low speeds and humans can tolerate maybe less than a dozen G for any length of time.
Also there is no perpetual motion machine and the second law of thermodynamics , I can state with certainty, will not be repealed.

Theory must be verified with experiments and careful measurements in order to be accepted..

Ancient Aliens - What's the proof?

The History channel recently ran a TV series called "Ancient Aliens"; http://www.history.com/shows/ancient-aliens....

Whats do you think guys? What would be 100% proof?

The History channel lately in my opinion are showing the quality of shows that are on the SyFy channel. Not to be believed.

I think THC is just tossing out ideas, sort of a 'food for thought'.

The problem is too many people assume The History Channel is authoritative on facts of history. They owe it to their viewers to only show facts and not conjecture.
