I believe they travel at speeds we have no concept of and that Big Foot is a close relative to Chewbaca.

Well, there may be short cuts. It can’t be ruled out.
If you had seen what I did, you’d be convinced too. Massive ship, bigger than the Close Encounters ship, I would put it at the size of a football stadium if you just include the lower bowl and the field. That big. It appeared directly above me while I was walking along a residential street in summer, stone cold sober. A giant ship with multi-colored lights on the bottom, it could have been even much bigger vertically than I could see from below. It was around 10pm and pitch dark. I noticed it, felt a surge of energy from head to toe (not sure if that was a reaction to the shock or something from the ship). I looked down in fear, this thing was very imposing and honestly it’s presence frightened me by appearing out of nowhere. When I looked up again about a second later, it was gone. I check the sightlines in every direction and nothing, not a blimp or anything like that. This thing was extremely advanced technology. Could it be black book US or even global cabal tech? I can’t rule that out, obviously. But my instinct is this thing was not “ours”. So it must have come from somewhere.
I know this sounds fantastic and I don’t expect anyone to change their minds based on this account. But I saw it. And years later (this was around 1998, I looked it up on MUFON and someone else reported the same experience about 200kms away; and I mentioned this on FB and one other person apparently saw in Windsor, where I did.
Could it have been a hologram? I can’t rule that out either. I really don’t think so, though. This wasn’t some technical illusion being tested. It was a real thing.

Saw an interesting comment online today, quoting some reports from the 19th century of people seeing utterly bizarre stuff in the sky (armies of ghosts, etc.) with the comment that in 1949, suddenly people stopped attributing their nighttime visions to the supernatural, and started attributing them to aliens/government conspiracies. So your choices are either the aliens have always been visiting us, or human beings have always seen weird stuff in the sky and the sense-making machine between our ears has slotted it into some narrative. Or both!
Yeah, I hear you.
I think of it this way: I often hear people snort in general conversation about this subject that humans need to get over themselves, we’re like ants to advanced civilizations etc.. Nobody is interested in our little backwater planet and stupid life forms, certainly not enough to come and visit.
My view is the opposite. For a curious advanced life form, discovering and visiting Earth would be very appealing. Like finding a needle in a giant haystack. Complex life seems to be very rare, so finding it here for an alien species would present an amazing opportunity to study and observe. It would literally be a chance to watch an “intelligent” species come of age right before their eyes. If they came here during the stone age, iron age etc. And then came back in a few hundred years after the scientific method was established here, what an awesome change to experience.
Do aliens do space tourism? Why not. WTF else is there to do for an advanced civilization that has ostensibly overcome material scarcity and has all its needs met?
I would think Earth would be very appealing to visitors from another star system or galaxy. Like very high on the list of places to experience.

I don’t doubt you saw something. At the size of a football stadium, and with lights, probably 10,000 people or more should have also seen it. What are your thoughts on why it didn’t instantly become worldwide news?
It was literally visible for about 2 seconds tops. Late at night. So if you weren’t outside at that exact moment you wouldn’t have seen it. My initial impression is that it was a mistake that I saw it, like, it was supposed to be cloaked but wasn’t for a moment.
I’m sure many more did. No idea how many though. I learned of others on FB and MUFON.
Even if I had a cell phone back then I couldn’t have caught it.

Agree. I’m also dubious of anything tangible making the journey here. Even if you allow for technology somehow overcoming the current laws of physics … it’s not likely. Anything in the universe that approaches the speed of light, is going to end up as a photon/neutrino. It’s not going to look like E.T. riding a frisbee when it gets here.
Wormholes are back in fashion, from what I understand. Not likely they are traveling in a straight line for sure. There is also interdimesionality at play.
We have have the scientific method for a few hundred years and look what we’ve done. Imagine what we could do in a few thousand.

This was pre-internet. But when that came along, I did some digging about it. And, on MUFON, which is whatever, I added my experience and then found an account of the exact same thing by a dude in London, Ontario, a couple hundred kms away around the same time. Could have been the same night for all I know. He said he was sitting on the balcony of his apartment building and this huge thing appeared and disappeared. Same description of it. Same phenomenon. So maybe when this thing skips around it can’t be cloaked for a second when it stops or whatever? Just moving around over cities having a peak. No idea.

Spy drones.
Go look at historical UFO sitings. They started spiking once countries started developing spy and stealth aircraft
As for wormholes and multi dimensional
The amount of energy needed to just move one sub atomic particle is INSANE. And that kind of ripple would be very detectable even with our “primitive” tech
Dude. This was 1998. And this thing was MASSIVE. And could appear and disappear.
No disrespect but you are fitting it into your own understanding of the limits of physics. What I saw leads me to believe there are other possibilities. More than that, there MUST be other possibilities.

Yes, finite acceleration. I tend to believe acceleration is only finite when our laws are applied. If you say there are no other laws then you must preface it by saying, “here”.
I kinda think, and I’m no astrophysicist you may be surprised to learn, there are workarounds we don’t have any grasp of yet.

I think its plausible however more that likely an optical illusion by glare or something similar,
Every theory ive seen as a work around requires infinite or negative energy.
Or large amounts of energy that would warp space time, something that we could detect easily even in the 80s let alone late 90s.
Yes there could be some void in the laws of physics. But scientists are now proving the laws and relativity, from a sub atomic scale all the way to cosmic scale with no void or exemption.

Definitely not anything like that.
Tentative launch for StarShip Test Flight12 is Tuesday 630pm eastern
This is the first launch for V3.0 of Starship Featuring upgrades to the Raptor engines. As well as an intergraded hot stage ring and New wing and fin designs.
The test flight will of course take off from Texas. Then launch starlink dummy satellites in LEO. 2 of them will be equipped with cameras and sensors to scan the ship to get a good outside view. The ship will also go threw some extreme stress tests , purposely shutting off key engines, or performing extreme maneuvers to check for weak points.
Because its a newly designed vehicle. They are not planning to land either the booster or rocket on a platform. Simply a simulated landing into the ocean
The booster will have a soft splash down in the gulf. The rocket will have a soft splash down off the West coast of Australia.
So people are doing the smart thing and ■■■■■■■ up the soil. There earth now who is all natural!

Au revoir old friend…
Voyager 1 is now more than 15 billion miles from Earth. It left our planet on September 5, 1977, and it has not stopped moving since. Nearly 49 years later, it is the most distant human-made object in existence — farther from home than anything humanity has ever built, sent, or imagined reaching.
It travels at roughly 38,000 miles per hour. At that speed, you could cross the United States in under four minutes. But even at that velocity, Voyager 1 will not reach the nearest star system for another 40,000 years. The distances between stars are not just large — they are incomprehensible. Voyager has been flying for half a century and has barely left the Sun’s front porch.
The spacecraft is powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator — a device that converts the heat from decaying plutonium-238 into electricity. That plutonium has been decaying since before the spacecraft launched. It loses roughly four watts per year. NASA engineers have spent decades carefully managing every watt, shutting down instruments and heaters one by one to stretch the mission as far as physically possible. Today, only two science instruments remain active.
Eventually — likely sometime in the 2030s — the power will drop below the threshold needed to operate any instruments at all. The transmitter will fall silent. The antenna will drift out of alignment. The data stream that has been flowing from Voyager to Earth for nearly five decades will stop.
But the spacecraft itself will not.
With no atmosphere to slow it down and no gravity strong enough to capture it, Voyager 1 will continue drifting through interstellar space at 38,000 miles per hour — effectively forever. It will coast through the Milky Way as a silent, unpowered artifact, carrying a golden phonograph record bolted to its side. That record contains 115 images, greetings in 55 languages, 90 minutes of music from around the world, and the recorded brainwaves of a young woman named Ann Druyan, who would later marry Carl Sagan.
The Golden Record was designed to survive for a billion years in the vacuum of space. Long after every building on Earth has crumbled, long after every language currently spoken has been forgotten, long after the continents have shifted into shapes no living person would recognize — that record will still exist, drifting silently through the galaxy, carrying proof that we were here.
No one will be listening when the signal stops but the message will keep traveling.

Especially since voyager crossed the heliopause over 10 years ago. Meaning the suns radiation cant even reach it. It has 0 way of getting power. Nasas last update says they have about 10 years of basic transmissions left. At which point it will be 21.57 BILLION miles from earth. Nearly 8x further than Neptune
