It's a conspiracy.

/cameras in the wall sockets

The government redacts things that it considers embarrassing or that may cast them in a poor light? Color me shocked.

That's just what they want you to think.

I don't believe in aliens.

Neither do you.

Move along.

Just about everyone carries a camera with them on a daily basis now, cameras are beyond cheap these days.

What happened to all of the UFO sightings? shouldn't there be more now.

Like so many movies before my time have stated, if they're smart enough to visit us, they're smart enough to stay the fark away from us. We're aggressive, ignorant and arrogant -- and that's not one civilization in particular, that's nearly all of them.

Really, if you were them, would you risk several years, decades, centuries, traveling just to have some savages fark it up for you? No.

/"why I oughta..."

Any country with a well established, profitable religous organization will never allow the truth to be told to the public. As long as commercial religion has a strangle hold on the undereducated masses we will never be allowed to know the truth.

The knowledge that life exists beyond what some people beleive to be created by the magical man in the sky will never be allow as long as religion is profitable.

Life exists beyond Earth...deal with it...God is just pretend and is made up to make people who are unable to understand science feel better.

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF PHILIP J. KLASS

To ufologists who publicly criticize me, ... or who even think unkind thoughts about me in private, I do hereby leave and bequeath:

THE UFO CURSE:

No matter how long you live, you will never know any more about UFOs than you know today. You will never know any more about what UFOs really are, or where they come from. You will never know any more about what the U.S. Government really knows about UFOs than you know today. As you lie on your own death-bed you will be as mystified about UFOs as you are today. And you will remember this curse.

You realize that real aliens wouldn't want to work at EZ Weddingz chapels in Las Vegas, right?

I don't believe in UFOs being alien craft - we're making this sh*t up because we're never happy. "God's dead, hey it wasn't angels - it was aliens!"

Humanity needs to leave the kindergarten.

DevideByZer0: Just about everyone carries a camera with them on a daily basis now, cameras are beyond cheap these days.

Meh, they checked stuff out and they're done observing. They've decided that when they blow up the place to cleanse the universe of a malignant force that nothing of value will be lost.

/except teh kitties but they saved them already

I worked for a small government department, and I know it's stupid, but redacting information was the most fun thing I did, outside putting discs through the shredder.

Yes, we are the most advanced beings in the universe. You need to leave your superiority complex.

Mugato: And did most importantly, our dumbass government successfully cover it up for 60 years? Clinton couldn't get away with a blowjob from the intern down the hall.

What we need is a government formed completely of climatologists. They've kept people biting on wacky conspiracies for more than 35 years now. Plus, they have more discipline to not squeal on their fabrications than any group in known history.

BillArr: Life exists beyond Earth.

Yes, but it has never visited Earth in any recognisable form.

that is what they want YOU to think, submitard!1!! What better way to cover the fruth than to create a nonsensical "contoversy" and discredit teh ppl who KNO it ALL!

I'd probe her anus.

Pribar: do I believe that they are navigating the void to earth in order to use anal probes on our varied collections of hillbillys and rednecks?

One can hope though.

/sorry Mugato, I couldn't help myself.

FarkinNortherner: BillArr: Life exists beyond Earth.

Yes, but it has never visited Earth in any recognisable form.

And you know this how?

It's absurd to throw the idea out that some race out there has their shiat together enough to develop really cool tech and likes to travel. The universe is pretty farking big. If they're flying spaceships I'm sure that being covert is not that difficult for them.

I'm pretty sure that there is, was, or will be life somewhere else in the universe. Leaving aside the problem with distances, I just find it highly unlikely they'd be around here at the same time we are.

Then again, I find a 10,000 year window to be a smaller crack than my poor brain can imagine.

Could go either way I guess.

If only they could have redacted that lame Area 51 video game in the arcades...

... I tell ya, between that and Aerosmith's Revolution X...

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: If only they could have redacted that lame Area 51 video game in the arcades...

... I tell ya, between that and Aerosmith's Revolution X...

You shut your whore mouth about Rev X and A51 before I send 50 Gold Records at you.

/Ahh memories.

BlippityBleep: And you know this how?

In fifty years of ever improving image recording and ever wider availability, nobody has produced a credible image of any form of alien encounter whatsoever.

As usual, most farkers think that they're the pinion of all infinity and the leading edge of all that is, was, or shall be.


Gawd, how badly some people are limited in their thinking. If only they could step out from behind the bondage of their own egos for one moment to consider the real possibilities.

/Let them limit themselves to issues of matter and energy. I really don't care.

/ Can't see what you did subby

FarkinNortherner: BlippityBleep: And you know this how?

I do not find that to be sufficient evidence to disprove the theory.

I think about it in terms of technological progression. Look at the rate of how quick we develop technology and the history of it. It is an exponential curve throughout human history. A race that has even a thousand years longer (more likely a lot longer than that) would very likely have all sorts of crazy stuff. A race like that would have an overwhelming advantage to perpetuate itself since it could travel and live on different planets. It just makes more logical sense to me that this type of thing is out there rather than believe that we have slipped under the radar and avoided detection. Of course nobody knows for certain.

What a tinfoil-hat-wearing wingnut would look like:

FarkinNortherner: In fifty years of ever improving image recording and ever wider availability, nobody has produced a credible image of any form of alien encounter whatsoever.

Says the man that hasn't seen Dr Who in HD.

Gyrfalcon:
What the hell are you talking about? Nobody here is saying there is not life elsewhere, just that there are no space aliens. How stupid are you?

Limited thinking much?

33 well known conspiracy theories which were later proven to be true.
(new window)

vygramul: Some of the others are only "proved" in that someone was earnestly insisting it is true. That's not proof.

And others weren't what you'd really call "conspiracies" either, case in point, the Manhattan project. Unless you want to call all secret/ts/sci/usap etc "conspiracies" just because they're not public.
