You've [ATN_Pilot] mentioned Jim Bob and Cletus many times. You know, not every person who claims to have been contacted is a backwoods redneck. Many "normal" non-redneck people have made the same claims........
The one thing that has always baffled me is the rate at which our technology has grown since the 1950's. The Romans ruled for hundreds of years but never really innovated past aqueducts and architecture and the same goes for the Ming Dynasty and so on. The way I see it, we aren't the only complex civilization that's ever existed. I cant sell my ancestors short by saying they were far less intelligent then people today. That just wouldn't be true. I guess I feel there is a missing link somewhere in there that somehow allowed us to progress to where we are today.
I had a conversation and debate one night with my brother. We came to a hypothetical conclusion that there might have actually been some sort of incident in Roswell where a craft and its technology were recovered and gave us a some sort of technological platform to build on. As stupid as it might sound to some, it does make sense. I dunno, deep crazy thoughts![]()

My argument has never been that they don't want to keep things secret. My argument has always been that such elaborate secrets are impossible to keep.
They may want to keep these secrets, but it's impossible.
Whistle-blowers would always come forward, evidence would be leaked, etc. But that hasn't happened.
Take a look at Wikileaks, for example. Assange has come out and said that with all of the data he's received from an incredible number of sources within government, he has yet to receive anything on UFOs or aliens. The most he's seen, as he said in a recent interview, is government concern about cults that worship UFOs and aliens. If even the mighty Julian Assange can't get whistleblowers to provide the slightest bit of evidence about UFOs or aliens, then I'm sorry, but it doesn't exist. Such huge secrets can't be kept in a bureaucracy.
Do some research. There is actually a ton of work that scientists do in trying to develop communication with primates.
Aliens have been ingrained in cultures for a long long time. There are references to them in carvings/paintings for thousands of years. ATN_Pilot says that peoples descriptions fit Hollywood, maybe Hollywood is based on people's original descriptions?
Regarding communications, how do we know they aren't trying? You ever communicate with a chimpanzee? No? Well their DNA is only like 2% different than ours. What if aliens were 2% or even more different than ours? I'm sure we think we're advanced but I'm sure chimps think they're advanced as well.
For whoever said physics limits is for how fast we can travel, I don't have time now but recently they have shown its possible to go faster than the speed of light. I'll look it up later.

Our communication work with champs is done face to face with us teaching them sign language. If aliens were trying to communicate they are doing a poor job at it.
The faster than light discovery was debunked.

Nope. Do some research. Philip Klass, renowned UFO debunker, did some excellent work on showing how alleged abductees' descriptions of aliens changed over time, based upon which presentation was predominant in the media at the time. Prior to 1960, aliens were almost always described in a wide variety of ways by the small number of people who had claimed abduction up until that point. Anything from insect-like, to walking lizards, and everything in between. But prior to that point, it was never the now-famous look of the enlarged head, widened at top, with large almond-shaped black eyes. The first time an alien was described by an alleged abductee as having "large, wrap-around eyes," was the Betty and Barney Hill incident in 1961 (sometimes called the "Zeta Riticuli Incident). In hypnosis sessions following their claimed abduction, Betty described the alien with these eyes. But guess what? It just so happens, that just two weeks prior to this claim, an episode of "The Outer Limits" featured aliens with this look. It was the first time that aliens had been portrayed this way in fiction. And guess what? Although it was originally claimed by Betty that she never watched this show, it was later revealed that she did indeed see this exact episode on TV prior to her claim. Pretty big coincidence, don't you think?
But as time goes on through the following decades, the alien image evolves. Abductee claims of alien appearance perfectly matches the famous alien movies of the time. From "The Outer Limits" to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" to "Communion," the alien appearance always modifies in abduction claims to match the media of the day. So, either these aliens are modifying their appearance so as to make Hollywood look authentic, or these abductees are full of you-know-what. Guess which one is more likely?
But I don't claim that it's impossible to travel faster than light. I'm sure a "work-around" will be found at some point in our future, unless we manage to destroy ourselves before then. And maybe some other alien culture has found that work-around already. But if they have, there is no evidence that they've used it to visit us.
No alien presence? How would a population too steeped in denial to know that it's own children were being raped by its priests, right under their noses, be sure of knowing anything about alien presence? Secrets are easy to keep in a population of people who brutally ridicule what they do not understand and fear.
.
Maybe they don't care. We don't try and communicate with all the species on earth. As some have said, people claim to have met aliens face to face and received dialogue usually through a form of telepathy, most are laughed off.
It was debunked.No it wasn't, it was another team saying they don't think it was true but they couldn't positively show that. We are continuing to delve depper and deeper into physics, I believe we have barely scratched the surface.
Your argument is weak, and you are talking in circles.
It's not impossible to keep elaborate secrets. I'm sure there are plenty of "elaborate secrets" that we, the general public, do not know about. I don't know where YOU draw the line between "elaborate secrets" which are impossible to keep, and "not-so-elaborate" secrets which are, in fact, kept.
Actually, that has happened, many times. Do some research.
Your final argument here is based on the Wikileaks guy? You are assuming that every person who wants to come forward with secret information, about E.T.'s or anything else, is going to go through him? One guy, who has had the Wikileaks website since only 2006, is now the keeper of all the world's secrets? I don't think so.
