Effective this month, the SETI Institute will be putting the Allen Telescope Array into hibernation. Basically, we will be haulting our largest attempt at finding extraterrestrial life.
Do you believe something else is out there? Does it collect records?

this is a great anecdote frank. i agree with you that, on a whole, our civilization is "dumb." however, do you feel that our search for some et life, or simply our search outside of our solar system, is also "dumb?" this is not an attacking question, just wondering your thoughts.
The Reptilians will soon reveal themselves anyway, and we'll be able to watch it on TV for free.
I think it's dumb to waste resources on something with a fairly small chance of any result especially considering the small likeliness any obtained result will actually lead to anything good.
Looking at what we have done to this planet, you could also call it irresponsible to explore outer space. I think it's better for the grand good if we remain contained to our world. If there would be a higher power, it would put us under house arrest given the mess we've made so far.
But we're doing pretty well at polluting them and most probably will extinct uncountable species before even discovering them.
i can ride for the irresponsible angle, but i know i have so many questions regarding the universe, if i had the resources, i would want to investigate further...
i agree regarding ocean exploration, such untapped discovery
The NASA budget has always been a piddling little thing.
Clear Gas Monsters
:micro:
So how do you explain this . . ?
damn son..that shit had me in stitches..in a good way..you are so right.
Also..why look in space..while many parameters of the sea have never been explored..who knows what lurks in the deepest spaces of the sea. and shit..there are so many (even) known insects and animals who are so weird so complex.. many dont even know about, but since its here already they dont give a fuck..
just yesterday i saw this documentary about this larva who place himself in the neighbourhood where ants reside.. he carries the same smell of an ant "baby" larva..
The ants smell it, and pick it up ..instantly! The think what is this larva doing here..it should be in the nursing room..so they pick it up and bring it there..
the infiltrated larva also has the same cry as the babyants. So when he is chilling in the nursing room, couple of ants start feeding him and take care of him like they do for the rest of the antbabies..
he stays there till he is grown and strng and then bounces.
crazy ass shit..
Aliens do that too.
They leave their alien babies at fire stations and in dumpsters. People find them and raise them just as if they were human. Because they look human. But they are not, they are aliens. Sometimes they take alien fetuses and sneak them into pregnant women's wombs. That is why there are so many twins and triplets these days.
hahah
creepy shit btw
so glad LW touched this thread, amazing. redhead conspiracy............
peace, stein. . .
BTW, R****l get in touch with me. I`ve managed to find an occasion where we can spin records together over here. It is paid, too.
Cool thing about this is that it was caught from quite a few different places.
Astronauts have fessed up and yet they keep schtum.
That UK Hacker dude they are trying to extradite found it on their computers.
Boss @ Roswell said on his deathbed it was true.
Dudes during the cold war said they disabled the missiles.
They don't think we can handle the truth so keep it under wraps, encouraging the "Crazy!" stigma.
And yet religious folks get a pass for believing in something, and building monuments to, an idea with even less scientific evidence.
There is something out there for sure, but the fact that they are turning up here puts them orders of magnitude ahead of us. If they wanted to take us over, they would have done so already. I liked the quote from "Mothman Prophecies":
I'm sorry but what is "the grand good" supposed to mean?
Given the mess we've made so far? We are a semi-barbaric and wholly insignificant species evolving on a small rock orbiting one of the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy. The Galaxy itself is one of hundreds of billions which we can estimate given our primitive technology. Our limited time on this planet so far has not been without significant incident to us and the species and ecosystems evolving around us, but to think we are somehow special or significant in any way smacks of ego or brainwashing to me.
No wonder no other species has contacted us, we would be just another semi-evolved civilization clinging to it's antiquated beliefs of an all powerful and vengeful figurehead, still raping, still killing for capitol and power. We would be boring at a party of any post human civilization with a neo conservative foreign policy and technology out it's ass.
Of course if it's an expansionist civilization which discovers us, we're fucked so it may be a good thing that we are in the back waters of the universe and we have stopped recklessly pinging our inability to defend ourselves to a more advanced and war mongering and space faring society.
The very thought that we would be the only beings in the universe imo is so absurd.
When something comes along that we can't readily explain scientifically the typical human reaction is to credit it to something "Supernatural".....a God, Space Aliens, Ghosts....things we've never seen but have a warped sense of faith that they exist.... we need to have an explanation for everything.....after all, we're Humans...THE SMARTEST ANIMAL ON THE PLANET!!!
Religious groups have their "articles of proof" that are no less convincing than Area 51, Whitely Streeber or those Big Foot tracks they found in backwoods Georgia.
I'll believe in any/all of the above when presented with solid evidence beyond bible fairy tales, outrageous stories of battling aliens below the deserts of New Mexico or fuzzy pictures of the Loch Ness Monster.....some of the things that the smartest animals on earth believe are just outright silly.
b/w
"I don't believe in sermons, fairy tales or stories about money."
That's always the problem. Unless someone walks into a starbucks cradling a little alien baby, people will always say "it's fake" no matter HOW convincing the video or photo.
That said, it's extremely egotistical of humankind to think we are the only intelligent life in all of this.
if its a fake its pretty entertaining
This looks like the Blair Alien Project to me, plus I've never seen anybody so bad at focusing a camera. And would ET really need a flashlight?
I firmly believe in UFOs, though. To me it's more of a leap of faith at this point to deny them. Plus, I had a
sighting years ago on the beach during the day.
I've yet to see anything convincing confirming 'aliens', however.
I like the convincing-looking videos. I don't pretend to know if they really represent aliens or not, but they can be good eye/mind candy. All the UFO shitt is really boring to me overall though because there was so much focus on it for so long and so much fake 'evidence'.
I'm sure there are limitless non-human civilizations out there.
Did you watch those Jerusalem videos? They look dumb (well the one w/multiple angles anyway).
