Maybe. But the speed of light won't necessarily ever be broken.

Don't put words in my mouth. I don't believe in that UFO nonsense.

If they're traveling at the speed of sound, which is more logical to think right now, they're not getting here. If they are, then they're immortal.
So, what you're saying is, if they're not going faster than light, then they're going at exactly the speed of sound. For some reason, you can only imagine them going either faster than light, or 767 mph. Nowhere in between.

But let's for a moment entertain the possibility that they can go a significant fraction of c. Were you aware that travel times for a traveler going close to c are significantly shortened due to relativity?

Scientists talking to the media usually dumb things down a lot. I know that if I was talking to ABC, I wouldn't bother mentioning the difference between mass and momentum.

Wikipedia is actually quite reliable more than a few hours after someone like you edits something.
