@jordaniac89 It is a conclusion based on the information available to us. There is allot that goes into it. And any sources I send you, you would prob'ably ignore. Because people like you are not skeptics, or open minded. You're debunkers. "It's TO unbelievable, therefore FALSe"
if aliens reach earth: they must have amazing technology and incredible intellect.
-> they wouldn't crash. (c'mon: they can travel through the galaxy but can't land?!?)
-> we couldn't keep them contained.
-> ufo's wouldn't glow unless they want contact.
however, it's likely that humans develop strong believe in aliens. just like we do it with other superstitions. like religion, esoteric crap, conspiracy theories etc.
Friedman makes an important point against Michael Shermer - the role of a skeptic is to investigate AT LEAST as thoroughly as those making extraordinary claims, and THEN on the basis of that investigation to present a case that addresses rigorously the empirical observations. Otherwise you are merely repeating the actions of a wacky, hysterical ufo-enthusiast - being driven by an emotional reaction, without checking conclusions with a sober rationale. Shame.
@AquariaDesign So If there were anecdotal stories, and pictures of a pedophile ring molesting children at an orphanage. There would be nothing worth investigating?
For pete's sake .... American TV .... Nobody can talk or debate anything for more than 5 minutes before they have to cut to another commerical break featuring 10 minutes of pharmaceutical ads.
if ur not interested in UFO's and u just want to make negative comments and show no interest in this subject then why the hell are u browsing around the internet searching for UFO videos???
u must be clicking on all the UFO videos just to debunk them all and make negative comments.. sad bastard - get a life. LMAO!!
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
All the UFO's that visit us come equipped with Blurrifiers. The Blurrifier is an apparatus that causes all human camera equipment to create blurry images. Creatures like the Loch Ness monster, Sasquatch, and Yeti also have these Blurrifiers. These were implanted in them by Aliens in the '30's in order to test the Blurrifiers on Earth before increasing Alien ship visits in the '50's.
The randomly flashing strobe that bounces off the tank containing the fake alien is particularly persuasive. It tells me that Julie Shuster is legit. *chortle*
OMG! Look at all these commercials!??! In fact, there were even extra commercials at the end which precluded the final statements of the people being interviewed?! WHAT A WHORE!! LARRY KING IS!!
@MrBrownstone8881 nory is such a phoney. he quit his stable job to do ufo work now hes a ufo radio show host. Sounds like hes a flakey dude looking to make a quick buck because he couldnt cut it in the real news business
@hatemorethanyou999 How can any THINKING human being stand it some religious dipshit that it's just as much a leap of faith not to believe in God than it is to believe in God.
The UFO freaks are such retards! You'll never ever ever find any shred of evidence for any aliens or flying saucers, you morons! They're just as non-existent as angels, ghosts or virgin maries!:)
Yeah!! And you and I can be sure because we know! We don't care there are trillions of stars out there and that the universe is a lot older than our solar system... It's impossible for intelligent life out there to come and visit us! Impossible I say! Why? Because we say so and we don't have to explain ourselves because we are more intelligent and intelligent people don't have to explain things because we just know!..... In other words, you're an idiot winterstellar!!
@NLPCPNL It has nothing to do with the chances of there being life in the universe or the life-forms being able to travel, it has to do with the fact that the stories are made up just like stories about elves or easter bunnies or whatever were before, and that there's exactly as much evidence. I.e zero. This is just basic human psychology, human superstition again like zillions of times before, and that's why freaks are into "flying saucers" or "aliens" while science ignores it.:)
The stories are made up? The please explain to me why are generals, lieutenants, colonels, sergeants, fighterpilots etc. are making these stories up? Why risk the ridicule? And science doesn't ignore it. But I already know you haven't researched the Hessdalen phenomenon. Watch UFO portal Hessdalen about the serious scientific effort to explain the Hessdalen lights. It has been proven that the lights are solid objects which have been tracked by radar for prolonged periods of time.
@NLPCPNL Does ANY scientists involved in the Hessdalen research claim there are flying saucers or aliens there, or do they more or less all explain it as geological phenomenons, tension/movement in quartz layers there and similar? Scientists, remember..no new age UFO freak who does part-time work as a ghosthunter or faith-healer..: )
Why are you asking me? Do your own homework and watch the documentary. You're the know-it-all. We're talking universities and Italian SETI researchers and a whole bunch of other scientists. Most won't use the word UFO but just say "we really don't have a clue what it is". I'll give you a clue: flying saucers have been seen by credible witnesses in the valley for over two decades.
@no2religions The term "flying saucer" is a cultural meme. Much in the same way as christians never have religious visions of thor or zeus, only people who already know and believe in "flying saucers" are ever going to report them. Here, I don't know the last time I heard the word "saucer" and it not be preseded by the word "flying". I'm sure you have heard that eye witness reports, while often useful, are profoundly unreliable. But once eye witnesses talk to each other, they are useless.
Spectral analysis shows that the lights are a plasma which can only be contained in a highenergy magnetic field and these objects can travel up to 8km/s. This proves these lights are a technological phenomenon and the inhabitants of Hessdalen have reported seeing flying saucers for over 2 decades. Not enough proof for you? Fine. But maybe you should change your tone a little bit and first do some REAL research.
@NLPCPNL Well..there's not much interest in the media for that place, nor from mainstream science, so I'm pretty sure much of the stories are either lies or exaggerations. Or else I'm pretty sure it would be swarming with scientists there and the media would be reporting lots too. But that's just me
The reason there isn't too much interest is because of the ridicule. If I was a journalist or a scientist I wouldn't touch this subject either, because it would be career suicide. The editor of the Boston Globe has supposedly said that she would never run a story about ufo's or aliens, not even if you would lay down an alien body on her desk.
@NLPCPNL theres not much interest because there is no evidence. why would newspapers, science or whoever show interest in ufos when there arent any evidence to go on. all you haves stories with no proff
There is a lot of evidence. There's proof of landings, alien implants, radar-tapes, mass-sightings, etc. But the subject is ridiculed on purpose by our governments because they don't want us to know. Nick Pope has worked for the ministry of Defense in the UK and was leading the UFO investigation for 3 years. He admitted a couple of days ago that governments lie about UFO's. Read this:
@NLPCPNL Conjecture. Radar traces are only evidence of things reflecting radar, which could be pretty much anything. Proof of landings? No. Alien implants? No. Mass-sightings? Intrinsically, woefully unreliable. Your position is one of religion, not rational thinking. You certainly didn't weigh up both sides of the argument before believing - you, as they say, want to believe. We demand hard evidence, not just some dude claiming something. You should too.
Haha! That's your rebuttal? "Proof of landings? No. Alien implants? No." You're really showing intelligence there! The implants have been looked at by Los Alamos National Labs, New Mexico Technical Institute, the University of Toronto and York University just to name a few. They're made of carbon nanotubes and elements that don't exist here on earth. I'm not saying I have 100% proof, but there is more than enough proof to take this all seriously.
@NLPCPNL The implants are not made from non-terrestrial metals. That is abject nonsense, and I have no idea where you got that from. Definitely not a peer-reviewed journal, which is what would constitute evidence. Remember - it is up to you to prove your case, so yes, a simple "no" is actually *more* than I need to show you are incorrect, as you have yet to demonstrate *anything*. This is how logic works, something you seem to not quite understand.
My God, you are one of most close-minded people I've ever come across! Congratulations :) You are right though about it having to be peer-reviewed and the invitation is there.... But surprise! No one is willing to risk their reputation in researching this subject and I can't blame them. Any scientist who gets involved with the UFO business runs the enormous risk of ridicule and the potential end of their scientific career. If I was a scientist I wouldnt touch this.....
@NLPCPNL You also clearly don't know what "closed-minded" means, either. I will be the most vocal supporter of any claim which can be supported by evidence. Some claims don't get a pass simply because I want them to be true - that is not rational, and that is exactly how you are behaving. You seem to know nothing about how the scientific process works. Any scientist who proves this will be world-famous and staggeringly rich. They want to prove it, they just can't because it's bullshit.
But I'll bet that you haven't seen the lectures, documenaries, removal procedures on tape and the tests on tape. And still you are here debating me on a subject you know nothing about. You just downright refuse the possibility of this being true. And why have build the particle accelarator at CERN? There is no proof that the Higgs-Boson exists. We have theories and clues but no proof. So following your reasoning it's silly to look for the Higgs-Boson since there is no proof it
exists. Well we apparently don't need proof to take something seriously in science. And when 3 prominent research labs determine that the supposes implants are made out of carbonnanotubes and other exotic material, some of which not from the earth, that's reason enough to take this alien implant thing very very seriously my friend. It would be unscientific if we wouldn't...
@NLPCPNL Carbon nanotubes can, and do, form naturally. Unless you can say which specific elements have been found in them (and also explain why said finders didn't get a Nobel prize for their discovery), that assertion means very little indeed.
In science it's not who says something that matters, it's the rigour said claims are put through that determines how accurate they are likely to be. So words like "prominent" mean nothing, unless it's describing a journal which published their paper.
That's already a much different reaction. I was just wondering how and where Carbon nanotubes are formed naturally? I've never heard of that so I'm (sincerely) interested in your answer.
@NLPCPNL I'm always glad to help inform someone - please never think that I'm not. Carbon nanotubes can be formed by simple oxidisation, and can even be formed in flames. They're not as precise as manufactured nanotubes, but they are far from exotic. The reason we hear so much about them is due to them being produced very accurately, but they are abundant in less-accurate forms in nature. They are not a sign of intelligent construction, just carbon.
.. and how dare you say that a simple no is actually more than you need to show I am incorrect. And then right after that you claim you know how logic works. How childish and stubborn can you be? If you want to convince me I'm wrong, I would suggest you try a more adult approach when discussing this subject. I know you've already decided I must be an idiot, but I'm actually a very reasonable person.
You can actually go online and check a discovery channel episode where a research lab researches the supposed implants. Great that you won't accept that as evidence and that you want to see it peer reviewed in a journal, but your whole attitude is just downright hostile. Following your reasoning I'm not even allowed to call my mother my mother if she hasn't done a DNA test to prove she is my mother. That this hasn't been peer reviewed yet, doesn't mean the research doesn't exist
and it doesn't mean that the footage made of the removal procedures of the implants is fake. Again yes, we need more research but the research done so far shows things out of this world. But that of course is all imaginary because it hasn't been peer reviewed. And don't say I want this to be true, I follow the evidence as well. But apparently you just need a little more convincing. Oh, and I bet that you haven't even done the research yet. You are debating me about this subject
And if you want to be the scientist, fine. I'm the detective that collects evidence and comes up with theories. After that it's up to the scientists to proof or disproof the theory. Please watch Hessdalen UFO Portal and you will find that some scientists do take the UFO phenomenon seriously and they have found that the lights are a solid object which is surrounded by a plasma (contained by high-energy magnetic field) and is able to move unnaturally...
What is it? Well, I don't know. What I do know is that inhabitants of the town have reported seeing flying discs for over two decades... Is this definite proof? No not yet. Is this all very interesting and reason to take the UFO phenomenon seriously? YES IT IS!!
@NLPCPNL Of course - take it seriously - but don't assume there is *anything* to it beyond a form of mass hysteria, until that is proven incorrect. Otherwise we stop being rational, and start making stuff up to suit our desired outcome.
@NLPCPNL it would take years to get here from another solar system. Aliens may exist somewhhere but that doesnt mean they can travel vast distances through space to come to earth
and ppl always assume aliens are these super smart beings that can accomplish space travel in minutes. What if these aliens out there are no smarter than us or are as smart as a dolphin
It might very well be that they can't travel faster than light. But we can't say that we can be certain that an intelligent species which is a million years more advanced than we are (which is very well possible) cannot travel faster than the speed of light. We simply don't know.
@NLPCPNL exactly we dont know so how are you throwing out all these numbers of planets, millions of yrs of existense with crafts that move faster than the speed of light?
Theres no evidence of anything. And when people bring up numbers of possibilies that life exist is one thing but they assume they are intelligent then they can travel vast distances in a span of minutes which is currently not possible on earth & will never be.Theres been no evidence that prove these claims are true
Why would you say that we never will be able to travel faster than light? Wormholes are thought to be a feasible option by many serious scientists. Only problem is that we need vast amounts of energy to create one.
Why would you say fantasy and reality? There's also "theory" in between them. A lot of scientists agree that building a time machine is possible in theory. But you can only go back till the time the machine was build.
I doubt that chimps would be gullible enough to believe this stuff. The V-shaped formation called the Phoenix Lights were flares. The Air Force confirmed that right away. A guy in Phoenix set more flares aloft with a helium balloon as a prank, and admitted it.
Oh oh! Someone didn't do their homework! Watch National Geographic The Truth Behind UFOs Over Phoenix Part 1-3 and you will find that an expert on flares has confirmed that one of the sightings definitely were not flares.
I've been to Roswell - the only thing I saw was alienated youth, in the bar. They told me: don't go to the museum, it's boring. Unless you like reading; there's lots of stuff to read there...
That dumb lady has an interest in ufo stories continuing, she makes her living running a UFO Roswell Museum. I hate these people. They need to get honest jobs...
@15:45 She says "My father came out with a statement after his death" <---- Big Slip up ever.. Did anyone else catch this bullshit? ---- People who say they are "UFOologist " are just as accredited as Unicornologist and Leprachaunologist. I happen to have a Degree in BULLSHITOLOGY
It speaks volumes all these eye witness accounts but never never never ever a shred of imperical evidence you can hold in your hand. Personal testimony means nothing in scientific terms. We need something
man all i could think of this whole time was the onion video about NASA building a simulator prepping astronauts for being interviewed by larry king.......
@realityexplorations ... it's the other guys that are preaching 'certainty' when they don't know. Claims without evidence will be heavily scrutinized.
@klank67 shermer would not belive it even if a non terestrial being was slaped down dead,infront of him, like mr stanton said hes a debunker not a skeptic, but why im talking or even replying to you is a mystery in itself since you oviously follow his disbelife in almost anything thats not within the common range of accepted ''norms''. shermer is nothing more than the types who used to shout the earth is flat. not the other way round, since is was skeptics and debunkers who said that
@realityexplorations - "shermer is nothing more than the types who used to shout the earth is flat. not the other way round, since is was skeptics and debunkers who said that."
What an ironic example to pick as you are clearly referring to "The Myth of the Flat Earth" - sorry but this was debunked long ago by critical thinkers like Shermer.
We have known the Earth was round since classical Greek times and no one knows how we reached this conclusion. Try research next time.
his version of evidence is a lack of evidence lol..the fact that things were covered up, is evidence that they were hiding aliens lol..typical conspiracy theorist logic.
Anyone care to speculate on how aliens could actually travel across space in a ufo made out of tin foil... come on... its obviously a freakin balloon.
The problem I have with shermer (though I enjoy his books to a degree) is that he says if 911 was an inside job all sorts of people would have spilled the beans by now. We DO see this with UFO phenomenon. All sorts of goverment workers coming forth and saying it. Yet he never takes the time to apply his argument against 911 conspiracies to support and take in the possibilty that ET is here or has been here.
@emeraldgreenman He doesn't say no to everything, he is skeptics about everything that is not proven to be true. People constantly pretend to know things they don't know, this is what I find annoying
why not admit it now ? well maybe couse they dont wanna admit that USA was ever weaker then russia ... its just propaganda that has nothing to do with reality
I really WANT UFOs to be real alien craft or flying saucers - I really do as I think it would be exciting to be visited by life from another planet, even if it was hostile to us, however...
I am always disappointed in the lack of real evidence. Eyewitness accounts aren't worth anything and neither are pics or videos which are so easily faked today. Sure there are probably countless other planets in the universe that have life on them but that doesn't mean that aliens have made it here yet.
Shermer is right, after 60 years on countless sightings and abduction reports, it seems that Mr.ET is much more common than BigFoot......and yet we have no alien bodies or skin samples, or alien probes that are "implanted" into people.
Why do people believe something it is not of this Earth.......on account that it was appears big............hmm.
If it's big then it MUST be alien!
Buzz is right, you can't always explain how Chris Angel does his "magic".....but you know it's an illusion!
To get to the closest star,it would take 4.5 years..if you were traveling at the speed of light! Conventional speeds would make the trip 10's of thousands of years. And that's just to get to the closest star. With that said,extraterrestrial life would have to have found a way to break the laws of physics.Light speed is impossible. Not only physically, but mathematically.You would need an infinite amount of energy, and you still wouldn't make it. They're out there, but earth visited? Unlikely.
What you haven't considered it that there are probably civilizations out there that are MILLIONS of years advanced of us and what seems like a problem with long distance space travel for us may have long been solved by an advanced civilization. Our understanding of physics and space / time is still in the very beginning stages. I read in an old encyclopedia published in 1940 that space travel would never be possible for us and just 30 years later we landed on the moon.
@CaneFu don't get me wrong, I have seriously considered that possibility very probable. However, also consider that it took 3.8 billion yrs of the earths 4.6 billion yrs of Earth's existence, for a technological species 2 arise. And think of the key events in Earth's history that paved the way.Certain key events have made it possible for us to arise. If they didn't happen, say, the KT impact that wiped out the dinos, we would not be here.Or, at the least, would be way behind where we are today.
All good points and I've read pretty deep into this. Latest estimate for the age of the universe is 13.2 billion years old and it appears much larger than ever imagined. Many scientists estimate there are thousands of intelligent civilizations out there and possibly multiple universes - even inter-dimensional universes. Another theory is that people could be witnessing time travelers from our future doing fly-bys. We know so little and there are limitless possibilities.
All that being said, I think the only evidence for a real UFO that will count is if a CNN news helicopter gets up close video shots on live nationwide TV in daylight. I don't think anything less would be considered real evidence or force the government to make full disclosure. I'm not holding my breath waiting for proof because if there are alien visitors coming they have likely been doing so for thousands of years and we are still very much in the dark. I'm a skeptic however
@CaneFu All I'm saying, is that it's a big universe, and to think we've been visited, may be a little self-centered. A species that crossed the galaxy, or even intergalactic space, would probably have nothing to gain by coming here. We would be to them, as ants are to us. We wouldn't stop on the sidewalk to talk to a colony of ants. If you never intentionally looked down, you wouldn't even know they were there, or even care. If we were visited, we ALL would know, or ALL wouldn't.
Are we alone? No. Mathematically improbable. However, Michael Shermer is correct. So-called evidence of photos, blurry videos, and especially eye-witness testimony, are not evidence of anything. Photos can be edited. Video the same. The claim that court of law eye-witness testimony should be their case, tells me they can't be more wrong. Eye witnesses have sent the wrong people to death row. Prejudices are present. Imagination. Your brain trying to figure it out. It's not proof.
@LynnSadi There is insurmountable evidence that black holes exist. We can see entire galaxies swirling towards them as they suck up all the matter around. We also see the gravitational effects from their influence upon light traveling near their centers. That, and we also have enormous proof in math and physics that they do indeed exist. Unlike UFOs, black holes are a proven scientific fact, just like neutrons, protons, electrons, photons, spectrum waves and many other physical things which we
Michael shermer! fighting bullshit so we don't have to:)... A little unfair though to put him up there alone. It's so sad to see these people who placed All their bets on This. They don't hold Any possibility that it might be wrong therefore we should not trust a word they say. Not that they are lying, but jumping to conclusion. Argument from ignorance it really is. Try search for Neil tyson and ufo. Hé will explain All about it.
i understand if people are skeptical but theres alot more to the ufo subject then what shermer has really looked at. just blowing all these people off and saying that they are all Hallucinating is ridiculous..
UFO are here and if you can't handle that I under stand why but we will all know the truth soon and don't worry about it because they have been around for a long time and play a big of are life do you really think all these people are lying think about that
What's funny to me is that people say "You need physical evidence to prove these claims. I want to see physical evidence first.". So then why do you believe black holes exist? Is there physical evidence that proves they exist? No, you believe it because credible people say it exists. Open your minds you fucking hypocrites.
Shermer would agree, as all skeptics should, that the existence of extra-terrestrials is not implausible. Intelligent life could have evolved in countless other solar systems. What he is saying is that the evidence for these extraterrestrials having crossed interstellar space in order to pay us a visit (and sometimes crash!) is either non-existent or terrible. I agree with him, but I realize that many others prefer to believe in UFOs for reasons which have nothing to do with evidence.
Well we don't have to wait on disclosure for how badly Shermer came off in this edition. Smashed totally and seen for the moron he is. Keep putting urself forward Mickey boy as it's always good to see a sad and lonely sceptic brought down with real facts as opposed to lies that spring from his misshapen head.
@impalax327 Me? An Idiot? From that comment, you have proved beyond doubt that you are the idiot here. Ever heard of an ad ho-minim attack? Look it up. And what "Real evidence" are you talking about? Please enlighten us. Deuchebag.
@biologicalbubble well, it'll give you so much free time to continue building your pornography collection won't it? Or maybe time to reflect on what a useless douche you've always been?
God damn it Michael, you're such a half-baked atheist! They beat your ass, and your deserve it. God damn it! :( Oops I commented on the wrong video. I was talking about the previous video about religion as the source of evil in the world. God damn it.
Oh Michael? What's with the hair? You are balding badly,,, I mean, embarrassingly so. People snigger you know? I mean, you did know that right? How are we meant to take you seriously if you can't even see your reflection honestly? That's all I could look at! I'm watching this again just for the hair...too funny!
@ai1888 you really are an industrial idiot. Mean? Bad haired, ill informed, closed minded, morons like Sherman and Co (ie the rest of you bores reading this) have only ever had the "get personal" defence because you are too thick and ordinary to look at real evidence. You've happily and smugly personally attacked UFO witnesses or anyone pro ufo because you're desperate. Sherman is badly balding, uneducated and lies about his qualifications and experience and and is an egotistical deluded nobody
You "people" really are funny types. You're problems isn't with UFO's or anything like that. It's a control issue. If (and that's a WILD "IF") you have women in your lives or significant others ask them what they honestly think of you? I mean really, so they tell you warts'n'all. They won't, because they fear you, but if they did they would tell you all you need to hear about what kind of person you REALLY are, as opposed to the self delusion you live with. FACT.
Gotta love the guy on the far right as he keeps on saying "I challenge you to watch my movie and then make up your mind" "Watch my movie watch my movie watch my movie".. Yeah he is not here to sell anything is he??? LOL
No he is there to make a name for himself.. Stan Friedman same bullshit, he is pumping a book on the show every ten seconds. Their arguments are filled with speculation and wild stories. When there is actually proof everyone agrees on give me a call. Saying "I saw something weird in the sky or look at this blurry picture of a round object" is not good enough..
@dbreiden83080 Isn't it though? When do we really conclude these are real space craft? Does the cover up, government property soldiers, generals, colonels, astronauts, what have you, not enough to say these are not imaginary? Just because the civilian scum don't have a UFO or a Alien, does not mean it is not real.
We conclude they are real when there is actual scientific proof they exist. There is no such proof, if there was they would be classified by science. They are not because we don't have the proof. A Cover up to me is bullshit. Makes no sense. Why cover it up? Nothing is happening at all. Tell the world Aliens are real and nothing is still gonna happen. The planet does not get abducted when news come of Aliens visiting earth.. Nobodies lives would change a wit..
I saw most of it. It's a bunch of speculation. Please tell me you are not viewing a for profit movie being sold by this producer on Larry King as proof of anything.. When people ask for evidence other than what they claim they saw do they ever have it? I say again there is ZERO scientific proof of Aliens, as of today. They are not i repeat not classified by science. So what are we really talking about here? This is on the same level as ghosts in terms of proof..
@dbreiden83080 Speculation? In what case? Throughout the whole documentary they merely repeat and put together what the government has said and done. No speculation.
Fuckin hell, there was more commercial time than the actual show!

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

All the UFO's that visit us come equipped with Blurrifiers. The Blurrifier is an apparatus that causes all human camera equipment to create blurry images. Creatures like the Loch Ness monster, Sasquatch, and Yeti also have these Blurrifiers. These were implanted in them by Aliens in the '30's in order to test the Blurrifiers on Earth before increasing Alien ship visits in the '50's.

@NLPCPNL It has nothing to do with the chances of there being life in the universe or the life-forms being able to travel, it has to do with the fact that the stories are made up just like stories about elves or easter bunnies or whatever were before, and that there's exactly as much evidence. I.e zero. This is just basic human psychology, human superstition again like zillions of times before, and that's why freaks are into "flying saucers" or "aliens" while science ignores it.:)

It has been proven that the lights are solid objects which have been tracked by radar for prolonged periods of time.

@no2religions The term "flying saucer" is a cultural meme.

Here, I don't know the last time I heard the word "saucer" and it not be preseded by the word "flying". I'm sure you have heard that eye witness reports, while often useful, are profoundly unreliable. But once eye witnesses talk to each other, they are useless.

@winterstellar
Spectral analysis shows that the lights are a plasma which can only be contained in a highenergy magnetic field and these objects can travel up to 8km/s. This proves these lights are a technological phenomenon and the inhabitants of Hessdalen have reported seeing flying saucers for over 2 decades. Not enough proof for you? Fine. But maybe you should change your tone a little bit and first do some REAL research.

There is a lot of evidence. There's proof of landings, alien implants, radar-tapes, mass-sightings, etc. But the subject is ridiculed on purpose by our governments because they don't want us to know.

@NLPCPNL Conjecture. Radar traces are only evidence of things reflecting radar, which could be pretty much anything. Proof of landings? No. Alien implants? No. Mass-sightings? Intrinsically, woefully unreliable. Your position is one of religion, not rational thinking. You certainly didn't weigh up both sides of the argument before believing - you, as they say, want to believe. We demand hard evidence, not just some dude claiming something. You should too.

Haha! That's your rebuttal? "Proof of landings? No. Alien implants? No." You're really showing intelligence there! The implants have been looked at by Los Alamos National Labs, New Mexico Technical Institute, the University of Toronto and York University just to name a few.

@NLPCPNL The implants are not made from non-terrestrial metals. That is abject nonsense, and I have no idea where you got that from. Definitely not a peer-reviewed journal, which is what would constitute evidence.

@NLPCPNL Carbon nanotubes can, and do, form naturally. Unless you can say which specific elements have been found in them (and also explain why said finders didn't get a Nobel prize for their discovery), that assertion means very little indeed.
In science it's not who says something that matters, it's the rigour said claims are put through that determines how accurate they are likely to be. So words like "prominent" mean nothing, unless it's describing a journal which published their paper.

@NLPCPNL I'm always glad to help inform someone - please never think that I'm not. Carbon nanotubes can be formed by simple oxidisation, and can even be formed in flames. They're not as precise as manufactured nanotubes, but they are far from exotic. The reason we hear so much about them is due to them being produced very accurately, but they are abundant in less-accurate forms in nature. They are not a sign of intelligent construction, just carbon.

To get to the closest star,it would take 4.5 years..if you were traveling at the speed of light! Conventional speeds would make the trip 10's of thousands of years. And that's just to get to the closest star. With that said,extraterrestrial life would have to have found a way to break the laws of physics.Light speed is impossible. Not only physically, but mathematically.You would need an infinite amount of energy, and you still wouldn't make it. They're out there, but earth visited? Unlikely.

What you haven't considered it that there are probably civilizations out there that are MILLIONS of years advanced of us and what seems like a problem with long distance space travel for us may have long been solved by an advanced civilization. Our understanding of physics and space / time is still in the very beginning stages. I read in an old encyclopedia published in 1940 that space travel would never be possible for us and just 30 years later we landed on the moon.

@CaneFu don't get me wrong, I have seriously considered that possibility very probable.

And think of the key events in Earth's history that paved the way.Certain key events have made it possible for us to arise. If they didn't happen, say, the KT impact that wiped out the dinos, we would not be here.Or, at the least, would be way behind where we are today.

All good points and I've read pretty deep into this. Latest estimate for the age of the universe is 13.2 billion years old and it appears much larger than ever imagined. Many scientists estimate there are thousands of intelligent civilizations out there and possibly multiple universes - even inter-dimensional universes. Another theory is that people could be witnessing time travelers from our future doing fly-bys. We know so little and there are limitless possibilities.

All that being said, I think the only evidence for a real UFO that will count is if a CNN news helicopter gets up close video shots on live nationwide TV in daylight. I don't think anything less would be considered real evidence or force the government to make full disclosure. I'm not holding my breath waiting for proof because if there are alien visitors coming they have likely been doing so for thousands of years and we are still very much in the dark. I'm a skeptic however

@CaneFu All I'm saying, is that it's a big universe, and to think we've been visited, may be a little self-centered. A species that crossed the galaxy, or even intergalactic space, would probably have nothing to gain by coming here. We would be to them, as ants are to us. We wouldn't stop on the sidewalk to talk to a colony of ants. If you never intentionally looked down, you wouldn't even know they were there, or even care. If we were visited, we ALL would know, or ALL wouldn't.

Michael shermer! fighting bullshit so we don't have to:)... A little unfair though to put him up there alone. It's so sad to see these people who placed All their bets on This. They don't hold Any possibility that it might be wrong therefore we should not trust a word they say. Not that they are lying, but jumping to conclusion. Argument from ignorance it really is. Try search for Neil tyson and ufo. Hé will explain All about it.

What's funny to me is that people say "You need physical evidence to prove these claims. I want to see physical evidence first.". So then why do you believe black holes exist? Is there physical evidence that proves they exist? No, you believe it because credible people say it exists. Open your minds you fucking hypocrites.

Shermer would agree, as all skeptics should, that the existence of extra-terrestrials is not implausible. Intelligent life could have evolved in countless other solar systems. What he is saying is that the evidence for these extraterrestrials having crossed interstellar space in order to pay us a visit (and sometimes crash!) is either non-existent or terrible. I agree with him, but I realize that many others prefer to believe in UFOs for reasons which have nothing to do with evidence.

UFOs... If I had a space ship I would make crop circles all the time :D
"Oh have you heard of these crop circles?!"
"Yeah. Sort of."

When I saw the HeadOn ad I asked myself if the commercial had been added by the video's poster.

Well we don't have to wait on disclosure for how badly Shermer came off in this edition. Smashed totally and seen for the moron he is. Keep putting urself forward Mickey boy as it's always good to see a sad and lonely sceptic brought down with real facts as opposed to lies that spring from his misshapen head.

@impalax327 Me? An Idiot? From that comment, you have proved beyond doubt that you are the idiot here. Ever heard of an ad ho-minim attack? Look it up. And what "Real evidence" are you talking about? Please enlighten us. Deuchebag.

"those newspapers are evidence because they're true because they're evidence because they're true and that's a fact!"
Then the other guy says, "she has a very good point..." I laughed so hard

God damn it Michael, you're such a half-baked atheist! They beat your ass, and your deserve it. God damn it! :( Oops I commented on the wrong video. I was talking about the previous video about religion as the source of evil in the world. God damn it.

Oh Michael? What's with the hair? You are balding badly,,, I mean, embarrassingly so. People snigger you know? I mean, you did know that right? How are we meant to take you seriously if you can't even see your reflection honestly? That's all I could look at! I'm watching this again just for the hair...too funny!

ai1888 1 year ago
@ai1888 you really are an industrial idiot. Mean? Bad haired, ill informed, closed minded, morons like Sherman and Co (ie the rest of you bores reading this) have only ever had the "get personal" defence because you are too thick and ordinary to look at real evidence. You've happily and smugly personally attacked UFO witnesses or anyone pro ufo because you're desperate. Sherman is badly balding, uneducated and lies about his qualifications and experience and and is an egotistical deluded nobody

You "people" really are funny types. You're problems isn't with UFO's or anything like that. It's a control issue. If (and that's a WILD "IF") you have women in your lives or significant others ask them what they honestly think of you? I mean really, so they tell you warts'n'all. They won't, because they fear you, but if they did they would tell you all you need to hear about what kind of person you REALLY are, as opposed to the self delusion you live with. FACT.

Gotta love the guy on the far right as he keeps on saying "I challenge you to watch my movie and then make up your mind" "Watch my movie watch my movie watch my movie".. Yeah he is not here to sell anything is he??? LOL

@dbreiden83080 He is there to convince stupidity and ignorance of the facts that these are real objects, really machines, physical and really there.

No he is there to make a name for himself.. Stan Friedman same bullshit, he is pumping a book on the show every ten seconds. Their arguments are filled with speculation and wild stories. When there is actually proof everyone agrees on give me a call. Saying "I saw something weird in the sky or look at this blurry picture of a round object" is not good enough..
dbreiden83080 7 months ago
@dbreiden83080 Isn't it though? When do we really conclude these are real space craft? Does the cover up, government property soldiers, generals, colonels, astronauts, what have you, not enough to say these are not imaginary? Just because the civilian scum don't have a UFO or a Alien, does not mean it is not real.
treasuredroperX 7 months ago
@treasuredroperX
We conclude they are real when there is actual scientific proof they exist. There is no such proof, if there was they would be classified by science. They are not because we don't have the proof. A Cover up to me is bullshit. Makes no sense. Why cover it up? Nothing is happening at all. Tell the world Aliens are real and nothing is still gonna happen. The planet does not get abducted when news come of Aliens visiting earth.. Nobodies lives would change a wit..

@treasuredroperX
I saw most of it. It's a bunch of speculation. Please tell me you are not viewing a for profit movie being sold by this producer on Larry King as proof of anything.. When people ask for evidence other than what they claim they saw do they ever have it? I say again there is ZERO scientific proof of Aliens, as of today. They are not i repeat not classified by science. So what are we really talking about here? This is on the same level as ghosts in terms of proof..

@dbreiden83080 Speculation? In what case? Throughout the whole documentary they merely repeat and put together what the government has said and done. No speculation.
