Mickey O'Neil Posted 26 July 2011 Share Posted 26 July 2011 I went to Area 51 on Saturday...very interesting (the tour guide, not Area 51). I'm crap at remembering shit but...... The guide, Rick, told us about when he was camping at A51and this bloke called Alex Reid/Read joined his camp (I can't remember which decade though..50's/60's??) Alex made a rocket which was quite advanced and was approached by the government. They gave him some co-ordinates and told him to land one of his rockets there which he did. The Gov. were impressed and then took him to A51 and showed him something that they had found. The ship/engine was similar to what he had built and he understood most of it. He went back to finish college and then went to work for the Gov. in A51 when he finished. Before he left A51, Alex made a secret video of some of A51. When the guide, Rick, went to work for the tour company, they gave him a load of stuff to look for his tours, including the video. Rick said he recognised Alex in the video from camping, but he used to have another name (i've bloody forgotten it!). Anyway, the video is on the internet in 3 or 4 parts. I'll put up a link when I either remember what it's called or I'll ask when my wife wakes up. On a sort of side note, the Area 51 tours are pretty pointless if you think you will see anything. The only things you see are two warning signs on the perimeter (no fences though) and the "Men In Black", although that's not strictly true. You see their 4x4, not them (the guards). The weird thing is that their truck is facing away and when you approach (from several miles away) they turn it around to face you. I took quite a few pictures of their 4x4 with my 200mm lens, but on my camera, couldn't see the guards (I'll look properly on my computer when I get back home). When you leave, they turn it back around again. The tours are good for the conspiracy theorists amongst us, they make you think at least! Oh, one last thing. That Alien Inn (in the movie, Paul) is a fcuking dump considering how much money they make!! They are quite mean with the food as well!!! **Edit** Just remembered that Alex Reid/Read went uni with Steven Hawking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneDog Posted 26 July 2011 Share Posted 26 July 2011 Funnily enough I recently had to watch all episodes of that (the Mrs likes it) and the only fact I know about the programme is that blondie makes her first appearance in Series Three Episode One! Lovely hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 1 April 2012 Share Posted 1 April 2012 Gravity is a theory. But we know its there. I do not find evolution hard to believe at all. DNA research has shown that animal and plant species are grouped into families and in some way all related. When in early stages organisms developed different to suit the surroundings. Some animals had eyes for night vision others had speed. Whether there is life on other planets probably depends whether other planets saw similar chain of unusual events happen. Life on earth is mainly carbon based, maybe on other planets life consists of other elements. I doubt it would be like ours. Saw a program where a fluescent gene was injected into a mouse. This shows how things could have been mixed up at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 1 April 2012 Share Posted 1 April 2012 We have no clue as to the size of space. Where does it begin or end? Anyone who truly believes that we are the most intelligent life forms, must be barmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted 1 April 2012 Share Posted 1 April 2012 Gravity is not theory, it's a fact. It is a theory. A scientific theory is not the same as a normal theory, it's a hypothesis that has been rigorously tested for accuracy and verified as being correct (as far as we can tell at the time).

Webbo Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 The meteorite that crashed to Earth in the Urals was attacked by a UFO causing it to explode and shatter, it was claimed on Thursday.The theory comes from Russian watchers of unidentified flying objects and echoes a version that first appeared on the day the space rock fell on Chelyabinsk region. Early speculation suggested the meteorite had been shot at by a Russian missile, but no such claim has been made by the authorities. http://siberiantimes.com/weird-and-wonderful/news-and-features/news/so-did-a-ufo-shoot-down-the-famous-chelyabinsk-meteorite-last-month/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakeyfox Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Sure looks like something hitting the meteorite as it explodes on the video.. Very curious. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Rod Hull Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Stupid aliens, why did they wait until it entered the Earths atmosphere to shoot it down and thus run the risk of numpty wumpty folk believing they exist?

Collymore Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Could it not just be a fragment of the same metorite travelling at a slightly higher velocity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danizen Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Could it not just be a fragment of the same metorite travelling at a slightly higher velocity? I think that's impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 1 March 2013 Share Posted 1 March 2013 I think that's impossible. It is impossible, it does look weird but in the video which it originates from there is specs of dirt on the windsheild which follow the same path as the 'ufo' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collymore Posted 1 March 2013 Share Posted 1 March 2013 I think that's impossible. Would be impossible in space but surely when it hits the atmosphere things will move at different speeds depending on their shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 1 March 2013 Share Posted 1 March 2013 I would say it would be possible - in space it'd be impossible, there's no resistance in a vacuum to slow it down, but once it hit's the atmosphere, it's got to contend with the atmosphere. The speed they'll be travelling at through space, combined with the gravitational pull that affects on all of them will mean it'd be a minute change. but the aerodynamic qualities of different fragments would change the velocities ever so slightly.

Rincewind Posted 1 March 2013 Share Posted 1 March 2013 Many years ago I was into the theory that ET's were living at the North Pole then I grew up. It's a wonderful idea but sadly it is just another fairy tale and unless there are creatures out in space thousands of light years away that evolved by chance like us and have found a way to travel faster than light or travel for hundreds of years in spaceships we will not see any.

leicsmac Posted 1 March 2013 Share Posted 1 March 2013 The Drake equation stipulates that simple chance means there are millions of potentially habitable planets out there. It doesn't however say that they will have intelligent, communicable life on them, just that they would be amenable to humans or humanoids living there. And for a pretty comprehensive view on the whole thing, you want to look up the Fermi Paradox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox Any one of these could be right, or none. Personally, I'm a big fan of the 'Zoo Hypothesis'. Keep quiet until they get into interstellar space, then introduce yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
