Thread: NASA to Make Major Announcement About Search for Alien Life Today @ 2pm

Consider, though, if a small country or independant organization really did have proof of extra-terrestial life, could it really reach the general populace of the planet? Sure, you could put it on the internet. Some cable television shows would maybe run a special on what you had to say. But unless your organization was highly respected, you couldn't get your data into a venue that anyone who didn't already believe in aliens would access, anyway. And even if you were a respected PhD, or spokesman of a decently influential country, imagine you have scientists from countries all throughout the U.N. all working to discredit you.

Your data could be undeniable in a fair scientific study, but if your honesty is attacked by someone who most people trust more than you they will just disregard your work as a hoax. Or people will read your proof of alien lifeforms, think that you probably aren't directly lying, (maybe misinterpreting some things,) but figure that since they are not qualified to determine whether a certain body of evidence is substantial enough to say that extra terrestial life actually does exist- they should just leave it up to the big dogs in science to tell them what to think about the evidence.

Yes, keeping every country and private organization silent about aliens would be impossible. However, keeping the most credible organizations and most influential countries on the same page would be doable. I mean, there are already countless organizations proffessing there is alien life and they have evidence to show for it. How many of us have even thoroughly researched the evidence offered by just a handful of these organizations? In fact, conclusive evidence on alien life forms could not only exist in the hands of the government as some of you have implied, it could exist in a media fully accessible to us but there is just so much crap to wade through that few of us will ever find it.

Note: I still don't believe in advanced alien life.

Evidence speaks for itself. If it's convincing enough, nobody will be able to deny it.

I think the fact that there is still widespread debate on whether or not 9/11 happened the way it's told/shown to have happened says that this statement is untrue.

Just sayin'.

People don't always believe what's in front of them, no matter how "convincing" the evidence.
