We are not alone?

Wouldn't it be something if this turned out to be verifiable ?

One of the nay-saying comments on the site, however, suggests a non-newsworthy hoax in progress:

Laugh my *** off. Go to Chinese website to check this news and you will find this is a totally fake news made by your UK media.

Laugh loud again~

Mind you, this is the Telegraph, not the Mail or the Sun. They might have Tory blinkers but they're not normally sensationalist.

 

[Joab]

Well, I know a Tory is someone from the conservative party of Great Britain, similiar to a Republican in the USA I suppose, but what is a Tory Blinker (Oh, a Tory that blinks at you...?)

It means that someone who doesn't agree with you clearly must be blind.

I'm guessing that if the Chinese ever did see a UFO we wouldn't have heard about it. Leaked photos? This is no way to run a police state!

Dude, they just want to be the first country to say that Aliens are real. Of course the US will be like, "yeah we already knew that," and then the anti-conspiracy conspiracy theorists will be like, "see Obama has got the whole Fed stacked with tin foil hatters!"

ROFL - "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries ... now go away before I taunt you a second time!"

Absolute classic. If we really ran foreign policy that way ... oh, wait a minute :lol:

"Blinker" as in piece of kit worn by a horse so that it can't see what is not directly in front of it. The Telegraph is a traditionally Conservative newspaper, hence, "Tory blinkers".

What I meant was that they might be politically pre-deterministic in a right wing fashion but they don't ordinarily run stories of an off-the-wall nature just for the sake of it.

 

[Jenny_in_Chico]

You know, if this were true, then it would take my MA to a whole new level. I'm already paranoid about human muggers and rapists...now I have to worry about alien beings who want to *probe* me.

 

[Xue Sheng]

They're here already! You're next! You're next, You're next...!

Wait a minute Mark, I thought ll the UK media was fair and balanced. You don't see a leftist tlit in the BBC but the Telegraph has "Tory blinkes"...Hm. Now we know which side of the fence you fall.

When coupled with foreign policy, wasn't the quote, "Your mother was a hamster and your Prime Minister can't play region 1 encoded DVDs ... now go away before I taunt you a second time!"

 

[Sukerkin]

A splendid re-imagining there, Crushing.

Well, to be fair to myself, I have only ever intended to say that the BBC is as close to 'fair' as it is possible for TV newscasting to be.

The papers on the other hand are well known for their biases. As to my own biases, well, they were formed like anyone elses ... by my background, my upbringing and my education. What newspaper did I used to read? The Times and the Financial Times (I was an economist, what else would you expect ).

I despised the Grauniad as badly spelled mouthings for overly Liberal social workers, the Sun and Mail readers as knuckle dragging neo-Nazi's, the Telegraph reader for being a stereotypical Suburban Tory, the Mirror readers as blind to the pitfalls of stone-hard socialism ... I'm sure I could deeply offend a few more 'groups' if I tried but you get the picture .

Of course, papers change their bias over time too, so it may well be that none of those slanderous tarrings apply any longer .

Now, altho UFO's are themselves a political issue and I was the one guilty of bringing politics up in the first place ...

A fair assesment Mark

 

[Sigung86]

I used to be a great believer in the possibility of life in the outer planets, galaxies, and other universes. Used to own orignal George Adamski books and thought everyone who didn't believe was deluded or slow.

Then I go to wondering why everyone else, but George, who took pictures didn't get clear pics, interviews, free rides and so on. Regardless, now, no matter what folks believe or feel, it's going to boil down to some useful proof, not evidence. There is, after all, evidencial photos of Nessie, that all tend to look like floating logs, evidencial pics of the Yeti, that look very much like small bears, or people in monkey suits... And all ghosts appear to have their clothes on.

If, I think, you want some sort of undeniable proof, we, as a race, if not a culture, are going to have to see proof in hand, and not pictures of fluffy clouds, stars, asteroids, meteors, twinkies, or pics of technical looking nature that eventually turn out to be photoshopped, or pieces of chicken feeders.

No. If it's only evidence, we've had that around for, literally, thousands and thousands of years. If there is reality, I'm suspecting that we would have had a proof, and not evidence by now.

What is the difference between proof and evidence?

 

[Sukerkin]

Well, for me at least, evidence leads to reasoned and/or probable conclusions whereas proof is undisputable certainty.

 

[still learning]

Hello, Eyes, photos. videos....all can be fool! NO physical proof!

Yes...there must be life in Universe....beside earth....as far as for UFO's....

Natural, and other things...can create images..or reflextions...happens all the time......

Aloha, ....wow a flying coconuts..
