Title: Both France and the UK have revealed a startling truth.
Post by: Mysterious F. on September 03, 2008, 01:50:27 PM
Both countries have admitted that they have been keeping information about extra-terrestrial life from the public.

Pretty much, this means that there are aliens, and the US government HAS been lying about it for years.

I call shenanigans, sir.

And here's the thing-- extraterrestrial life doesn't mean aliens as we know it.  It's probably bacteria, not super-psychic aliens waiting to take ZV back.

I'm done waiting for you to link to sources, I'm going to go look it up myself, and bring you all what I find.

*readies spacesuit*


Edit:

This is all I found (http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Frontpage/2007/09/07/01749.html), but I didn't check to see how recent it was. The date at the top says it was published today, but that might just be the current date at the top as well.

To tell you where I found this out, from an episode of Larry King on CNN. The hosts of this one TV show (I think from the History Channel) about searching for aliens mentioned it while talking about the recent alien sighting in the window (you know the one).

Why, that wasn't what you originally said at all, Whocares!

They're just making their classified UFO sightings public. That proves absolutely nothing.

I couldn't find something exactly what I said, but these were close. Perhaps either my memory transformed what he said from that episode, or mabye he just said that and didn't know something different. Still, this is topic worthy, because this only makes me angrier at the US government for keeping such important information secret.

I stand by what Calvin and, by extenstion I suppose, Bill Watterson say about extra-terristial life:  The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere is that none of it has tried to contact us.

I'm sorry but you would have to be from the UK to know how truly hilarious it is that two of the sources you provide come from The Sun newspapers website. Seriously, it is the most idiotic (not counting The Star) paper ever, half the content is naked women, the other half is conspiracy theories and what has just happened in Big Brother.

But I guess it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Gil Grissom said something similar in a CSI episode, I believe.

Also, consider this quote from Men in Black:

QuoteAgent K: We do not discharge our weapons in view of the public!
Agent J: Man, we ain't got time for this cover-up *******! In case you've forgotten, there's an alien battle cruiser--
Agent K: There's always an alien battle cruiser, or a Corellian death ray, or an intergalactic plague intended to wipe out life on this miserable little planet. The only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!

Even if intelligent life does exist, and the government knows it, don't you think there'd be panic among folks everywhere if they found out?

And isn't it considered the job of the government to protect its citizens at all times from danger?  ::)

It'd be much easier to do that if the people weren't stampeding in mass panic, would it not?

It's kind of entertaining how there's people who want the goverment to say they know of intelligent extraterrestrial life when they don't.
