Disclosure project

[Doc. Josh]

I have been watching the disclosure project and was wondering what the scientific community's thoughts were on the topic. This collabarative evidence gathered by army-air force-marines and high goverment officials coming forth stating the events pretaining to extraterrestrial life and the impact on us as world. do you believe these people? Is this just the beginning of the next generation of earth? Opinions, thoughts, concerns please post. Thanks.

Most people would rather the whole idea went away. It challenges their beliefs about their exulted place in the Universe.

I don't even understand how this is an issue! If there were or are extra terrestrials why would they be covered up? Who cares? If they are a threat, hiding them from us isn't going to accomplish much of anything unless an attack would simply mean death to all of us in which case they are doing us a favor by keeping it a secret. The only sensible reason for a government to hide such an issue would be to hide their abuse or enslavement of such a creature. The second speaker in the clip you linked mentions being rational or being irrationally skeptical but there really isn't any rational reason to be anything but skeptical about a possible cover up. The whole idea is rather silly and if it is true well I guess were in some serious trouble if they're looking to harvest our resources in which case I don't need to know, no really. Maybe they're here to suck our blood.

Xittenn, most of us would go "You Beauty". But there are large numbers of the population whose beliefs are directly threatened by the existence of aliens.

 

We in the West have been conditioned for 2,000 years that we are the ultimate creation. Humans are the pinnacle. The simple fact that others exist and can come here would relegate our science back to the Dark Ages and our place in the Universe to "primitives".

 

America unfortunately has a reasonable number of fundamentalists. To these people there are three and only three types of life in the Universe, humans, angels and demons. Aliens do not fit into their worldview at all and they would probably be rather unhinged should they be faced with the reality. They might even attempt violence and trigger a war. Such a war we could not win. We could not win strategically because while they can attack us, we could not attack their homeworld. We could not win tactically because "You can't win a rock throwing contest from the bottom of a well."

 

If they can come here in reasonable time, ie have FTL travel then I don't know how much of our physics would need a rewrite but I would guess a lot. I suspect this would have damaging effects on the psyche of many physicists. Relativity is probably the best theory in the history of science and to have it mangled so easily would upset a lot of people.

 

Religions would be afraid of alien philosophies and religions.

 

Politicians would be afraid that people might demand changes to political systems once the alien ones are known.

 

Many would be afraid of losing their jobs to superior alien production technology.

 

The list is very long once you think about it.

 

Similarly Roswell. Let's assume for the moment that it really was an alien ship. The US military had no option but to cover it up. If during the Cold War such technology had fallen into the hands of either side and the fact announced, then a nuclear holocaust would have immediately followed. If such technology was in American hands the Soviets would have known that given the time to reverse engineer the ship the american position would become unassailable. What hope would Mach 2 Mig 23s have against american bombers doing Mach 15? The only possible response would be immediate war to prevent the Americans from having the time to use the technology. The reverse position is also true. If the Soviets had such tech, the only hope of the West would be to smash them before they could develop it. For both sides it would be a case of "War now while we have a chance, or war later when we have no chance."

 

Bluntly, there are many good reasons such contact would be covered up.
