Hi All,
Dear oh dear oh dear ...
I heard the interview with Dr Ed Mitchell this afternoon:
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegrap...001021,00.html
and (as usual) it offers
no actual proof at all for the LGM.
NASA deny they are covering it up. Their denials are of course taken as convincing proof that they are in fact covering it up. If the governments of the world had convincing proof of the LGM they'd offer it up -- I'm certain, why wouldn't they? Can anyone come up with one really good reason why it would be hushed up? Given the lack of ability of governments of all persuasions to keep anything secret (even their most important military secrets), how was this, the biggest of all secrets, kept secret -- assuming it really is a secret.
NASA has an awful lot to gain in terms of budget and justification for their space and astronomy programmes if the LGM had been here
and they could prove it. Why don't they offer the proof and claim the (massive) budget increase I wonder?
Because the proof, and I mean
proof does not exist. It is all opinion, conjecture and the "eye-witness accounts" of these lonely, isolated individuals who claim to have been abducted, experimented on and been to Zeta Reticulii for a quick weekend away or video of saucers lurching drunkenly across the sky.
How did these guys cross 100s of light-years to come here if they can't make their "flying saucers" hover in one spot? Helicopters and military jets can do it, why can't such an advanced race make a space ship that will hover and keep still? Are their pilots all on the turps? These accounts do not constitute proof I'm sorry -- not in my books.
That is not to say there is no chance that intelligent life does not exist somewhere else in the Cosmos. I'd have to concede there is a chance of that -- but a slim one I think but its possible.
Nobody put it better than that great Italian Physicist Enrico Fermi who responded to the UFO/LGM/prolific intelligent life question (in essence -- this is not a direct quote) "Well where are they? Show me them! Sorry, like Enrico Fermi, until I have convincing scientifically based, verifiable proof, I will remain a 100% sceptic that we have been "visited" -- or indeed that there are a host of other civilisations out there in the Universe.
Perhaps Ed should start writing for this mob of silly sausages:
