Jimmy Carter's final days have recycled the story of him weeping after receiving the intelligence briefing on aliens. I would love to hear some of y'all riff on that.

You better be careful, the same people that ban us for joking about aliens are also the same people that ban us for making fun of democrats…

I have heard this claim, but have never seen a video or actual source that wasn't a conspiracy website.Agristotle said:

yeah, I think the story goes, "a senior aide" walked in on him weeping after the briefing. Probably not a lot of witnesses to the POTUS crying.

Bob Lazar is a fraud, he made up his bio largely, was busted for a number of things before he became "famous" for aliens.
But the question you ask is exactly why as much as I would like to believe it's true, I can't. The government can't keep a secret for anything. And the biggest secret in the history of humanity being kept under wraps for the better part of three generations now doesn't seem remotely plausible.
Not to mention, why would only the US know? So everyone else is that good at keeping it secret too?
He was very upset for several weeks from what I gather. Something clearly upset him.Agristotle said:

Not only is it plausible, but any reasonable, rational thinking person should be able to connect a few dots. Not sure they can even be termed dots at this point. The NYT article in Dec 2017 sorta pulled the plug. That toothpaste aint going back in the tube...oragator said:

Here's my hang up with aliens. How many decades have we supposedly "known" about them now? What are the chances that everyone in the know (besides Bob Lazar or whatever his name is) takes those secrets to their graves?

Because believing what the government is telling us, and believing in aliens crashing on our planet is totally sane…

Even if there were beings, from off-world, I still wouldn't believe they are aliens, more likely genetically modified and engineered organic robots that were created after the voyage or just before the probe/craft arrived here.
That makes more sense than aliens…
Edit: Think of it like a small scale version of Rendezvous with Rama.
What I'm saying is they could be SOME MANY things, but some posters in here are just set in one mind frame, "IT'S ALIENS!"

If humans visited another planet with beings on said planet, WE would be the aliens. However, if we sent robots, no matter the material, (plastic, metal, organic, etc.), those robots would NOT be aliens. The beings on that planet may think our robots are aliens, but they are not, they're just robot probes…Rocagnante said:aggiephoenix02 said:

So off-world genetically modified and engineered organic robots don't count as aliens? Curious what your definition of aliens covers.

Sounds like you need to start a new thread to tell your story.
Or lay off the drugs![]()
I've never taken psychedelic drugs in my life. However, I am interested by the descriptions some users have about seeing "machine elves" and other similar beings.
I don't think it's far fetched to think some drugs can help "assist" glimpses into alternate realities. 99% of it is probably BS, but I find machine elves compelling

If a guy on Reddit says so, then it must be true. Especially with lines like "largely believed to be true by the serious researchers on the subject". So researchers who do not believe it to be true aren't "serious" apparently.Ghost of Bisbee said:
