So what you're telling us is that there's no evidence. Got it. |

Evidence is hard to get if you don't understand the situation. |

There's a reason why things like these are ridiculed. There's no evidence to support them, yet people act like they've been fully proven. And any evidence that IS put forward usually turns out to be bullshit or explained by other phenomena. |

What I am trying to illustrate is that currently we can only approach this global phenomenon as you would a crime investigation. The evidence needed for a court and the evidence needed for science are completely different. Testimony matters in court, in science human testimony means nothing. |

This isn't a court room. We're not trying to see if somebody is innocent or guilty. We're trying to see if alien civilizations are visiting us and interacting with us in some way. That is an entirely scientific endeavor. |

Lol, thats the point Im trying to make. |

My problem with this juroara is that I can't believe in arbitrary human testimony. They might be lying, or simply crazy. And honestly, so much of this testimony contradicts other testimony that they can't all be right. For instance you said in the OP that channelers all tell us human like aliens are good and non-human like aliens are bad. But that's not true. Arcturians are described sort of like Grays but are considered a benevolent race. I'm not trying to defend channelers, but you seem to understand less about the phenomenon than I do based on that statement. I know you know more about aliens and shit than me, I'm making an argument about the nature of credibility. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
You're right, I simplified the channelers. Its because I really want to move away from the discussion of astral aliens. For several years now theres been this idea going around in new age that all abductions were astral. I understand these arguments, but it makes the "alien presence" less "real". I mean, if astral aliens abduct you and do a astral medical examination, so what? Its like a dream, you wake up its over. |

Unfortunately you cannot separate the two. In order to understand why aliens are here, we have to look at what they're doing here and that means looking at witness testimony and filtering out the fake testimony. Whether or not someone was traumatized by an abduction, that doesn't automatically mean I have to believe it happened. I need to find the truth, so I can't differentiate claims based upon the apparent level of emotional disturbance each person exhibits. Look at that prank call on Coast to Coast about how aliens were transdimensional beings. That guy sounded serious as fuck but called back later admitting he was bullshitting. You said it yourself, this is like a court case and the evidence must be weighed as objectively as possible if we are to understand the motive. |

I'm getting pretty good at bluegrass so if you guys find yourself being chased by aliens and need a getaway soundtrack, just hit me up. I'll be glad to help. I'm mostly working on flatpicking fiddle tunes but I'll try to get a few banjo tunes worked out (hopefully in time!) I'm working on this one now. |

I also realized something very funny. In all likely hood, if what Juroara is claiming about aliens is real, than we can conclude that they are at our plant for a scientific purpose. Juroara may be an alien attempting to understand our social reaction to the idea of extra-planetary beings visiting us. If this is true, Juroara please tell your alien superiors that Humans could seriously use some help with our problems m'kay? |

“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”

I'm not saying I agree that we should treat alien abductions as a court case, or that testimonies prove anything in regard to this, but testimony is evidence, especially eye witness testimony. The degree to which the evidence is relevant depends upon the credibility of the witness. How do you think trials were conducted before modern forensics? |

I thought this thread was gonna be about mexicans lol. |

In all likely hood their is other intelligent life in our galaxy, and without a doubt it is somewhere else in our universe. However, according to Drake's equation (look it up if you don't know, a simple google search will suffice) the possible number of other intelligent species in out galaxy is so varied that we have no clue if any are even within a distance for communication, let alone that any other species of beings has stumbled upon Earth. The simple answer is that, according to current scientific knowledge, it's too early to say without credible evidence that Aliens have visited Earth. We can't know if any species are nearby, we can't know if they would even have any interest in us or reason to visit assuming their are other sentient beings nearby, and we can't know how they would visit us or what it would look like if they did. I'm not saying Aliens don't exist, I'm not saying they do. I'm not saying it's likely or unlikely, all I can say is that it MAY happen and that it ISN'T impossible. We just don't know HOW possible. |

Juroara an alien? Hmmm... might believe that one. :p |

I don't know if there already is an Alien Presence, but I think that when they will or have made contact it will be so alien and foreign that we will not realise it is here or have been able to comprehend or imagine it beforehand. |
