This community is for discussion surrounding UFOs and Extraterrestrials.

Rules

  1. Be your own moderator
    • Think before you post or comment, and use your common sense about what is acceptable. This is a community space and should ultimately be community-driven. Be the community you want to see here.
    • If you are here because you want to make fun of or grandstand over all of the silly people who believe that UFO/UAPs may exist, you are not welcome. Just block the community and go about your day.
  2. Be Civil
    • No trolling or being disruptive.
    • No insults or personal attacks.
    • No accusations that other users are shills/agents. If you have some kind of evidence of this, please report instead.

    • No harassment, threats, or advocating violence.
    • No witch hunts or doxxing.
    • No summarily dismissive comments (e.g. "Swamp gas.").
  3. Posts must be related to UFO/UAPs
  4. Avoid duplicate posts
  5. Link posts should contain the linked content and a submission statement
    • Submission statements should contain a summary of the content, why it is relevant to UFOs, and optionally personal perspectives.
    • For short-form content, such as tweets, include the entire text.

There are multiple theories about how uap are moving the way we perceive it. All outlandish hypotheticals but none are disproven.

My favorites to think about:

  • manipulation of spacetime: we know this is possible thanks to black holes but we havent figured out how or why yet.

  • multi-dimensional objects interjects with our space: just like a 3d ball object can appear, change size, and disappear by rolling trough a 2d plane.

  • advanced understanding and maybe manipulation of a planets electromagnetic field allowing for precise pulling/push of an object: In my head this would require subsurface station or relay points, wouldn’t work in space but with what i’ve seen of human progress we might archive this ourselves in the near future.

About the practicality of bioengineering i disagree that mechanical drones would be superior. They require resources and energy to build and move around. Take a lot of time to design and are rarely capable of doing anything beyond their design scope. A biological lifeforms could be vat grown pretty much at location build for whatever purpose you need. There gonna be on earth? Maybe a set of lungs to get all the free energy from the air and hands to interact with human infrastructure.

The idea that only machines are capable of sending signals and taking photos seems moot as we humans have gotten very close to extracting images straight from the brain and bats having been using echo location forever.

Disagreeing aside. This has been a really cool discussion, we just tackle it from different perspectives, which is ok if not an ideal.

The actual recorded evidence for UAPs needs none of these complicated explanations to be explained by mundane occurrences (see the videos I linked previously).

Growing completely new animals on location would be an enormous feat, especially if you can’t know beforehand what you will be encountering. It still seems easier to me to have a robot Lego set with you that you can just assemble into the shape you need.

I’m not saying that biologicals are unable to send signals (otherwise people couldn’t talk), I’m saying radio signals since they are the kind of signal you need for long distance communication. And extracting images from a brain is probably much worse than taking a photo with something that can be produced by a civilisation that can do this easily.

Yes it has been an interesting and civil discussion, which is nice.

Our current level of this tech is indeed far from real footage reality but still very impressive, there are a few groups working on different angles to properly invent this tech

I actually like to take that hypothetical much further into the potential of streaming consciousness. But then we’re getting in almost pure sci fi terrain. It “sounds” more reasonable for a bio engineered lifeform then a machine to be capable of housing consciousness.

I fully understand if you cant take me serious anymore at that line, but when i am entertaining the idea that aliens are already here then i can only picture them as vastly intellectually superior because i feel like humans have only just scratched the initial surface of our potential and are a very long way from reaching another solar system. (Even with a generational ship)

Absolutely no scientific value beyond this point:

The result of conciouss streaming would be that a superior species would never need to endanger themselves. It would go like this:

An automated vessel travels the galaxy discovering interesting planets, like those containing life.

Some initial samples are collected to make up the environment of the planet and how the local life manages to survive on it.

Local dna of a dominating species is cloned and made compatible with their own.

Intellectually bored aliens stream their consciousness to the bio vessel in a way that we can only refer to as “like full dive vr” interacting with alien worlds and life is a common and mentally stimulating hobby. They get to experience the other world realities with a real body with no downsides or mortality.

Theres some moral dilema with this strain of thoughts like would the bio engineered creature not have a mind of its own.

As a lover of science and the mysteries of the universe it makes sense to me that any society smart enough to to destroy themselves will at some point evolve towards

1 - the levels of required science become not only possible but common knowledge as the universe literally runs out of scientific secrets.

1- quality of life, freedom and luxury reaches the point where space exploration and trying to understand/support other lifeforms becomes the only pastime still yielding meaningfull reward.

There is absolutely nothing from the recorded uaps that points toward this though, i am overall quite sceptical about the more official US disclose and rather focus on patterns in the bigger body of mostly nonsense stories. Some frequent patterns being the appearance of humanoid “greys” wearing no clothes and having no genitals and technology wise no buttons, handles, screens or interfeces. Take only with your most delicious grains of salt. It is friday after all.

It’s a cool idea, I’ll give you that. Kinda like avatar. We’ll have to see if any credible evidence for extraterrestrial life turns up. I’m certainly hoping I’ll see it in my lifetime.
