[Orangeh]

Is it just me or does the narrator have an amazingly annoying voice?

[zqueenbean]

I'd like some ufo news

[spentfromnz]

ufo news? this is a science channel, not scifi.

[zqueenbean]

I know what kind of channel this is-- but thanks. I think when credible witnesses have a sighting it is new worthy, though without tangible evidence there can be no experimentation or much analysis.

[ccaptorchen]

honestly ... all the real evidence ever was light dots in the sky. so sick of history channel's UFO shows, they go on and on about how this aircraft encounter UFO and play you their conversation with air control tower and near the end they go " actual footage by the pilots!!!" ... light dots in the sky!!! zomg!!! proof!!!! witness testimony can't be consider scientific proof, and light dots in the sky really not all that convincing.

[zqueenbean]

Of course witness testimony isn't science, but it could be considered observation. As you know, various gov'ts put some stock in these as evidenced by classified documents.

[Enlan86]

Regardless of whether they exist or not, they are still an interesting phenomenon. Questions could be asked such as, how WOULD we go about achieving supersonic, even super-luminal speeds, sans-combustion. Obviously by their very nature these questions have to do with advanced sciences, extraterrestrial, or not.

[Dorke1337]

superluminal speeds are incompatible with the theory of special relativety. I would be impressed if you could find a credible scientist who would talk about how we could achieve it.

[Enlan86]

As long as anything is considered impossible, it will be.

[Dorke1337]

i am not saying it is impossible, but they have been testing this for over 100 years, and there has never been an experiment that contradicts special relativity. If anything could travel faster than the speed of light in ANY reference frame than the laws of causality would be broken; that is, that information would be received before it had been sent

[zqueenbean]

Agreed.

[shaolindreams]

im getting some de ja vu here =|
