The Drake equation says it all,

Life probably abounds in the known universe, but advancing past simple cell life forms to truley advanced species capable of space travel is another thing,

Space is FAKE.

The UFO files is to butter folks up for when the powers that shouldn't be launch the fake UFO invasion.

Expect lockdowns a la the Scamdemic but even more draconian. 💯0%

You heard it first from Woke.

This site is great for warnings of the acopalypse. You can test the Search function for the warning that the Zombie Acopolypse has started in Nana Plaza

It is nothing.

Are you aware that over 90% of ALL UFO sightings are in the USA? .

Thailand has quite a few UAP sightings, and even has its own Area 51.

So you expect a new Sodoma Gonorrhea?

There have been many Jesus, and you are right, we where not the first inhabitants on this rock, where roughly 99% or more of all species that have ever lived on Earth are extinct, but we share DNA with all previous life and existing life.

All known life on Earth shares a common biochemical foundation: DNA or RNA, genetic code, proteins, cells, and metabolism. Humans share ancestry with all living things, if you go far enough back.

The Fermi Paradox. In the mid 50ties, nuclear physisist Enrico Fermi asked "where is everybody"?

In the meantime, we have discovered thousands of planets in a "habitable zone" in our galaxy alone. For decades we have been listening into space. (Every advanced civilisation must be using radio waves to communicate).

Fact is: We have heard nothing from the potentially thousands of advanced civilisations. TOTAL SILENCE. Where is everybody?

The biological filter: Recent studies have shown, that for life to evolve to procuce something like a "homo sapiens", the many "filters" that have to be "overcome", must make life an extremely rare event. We may be alone.

I have heard Brian Cox speak about this, the billions of years it can take for evolution to produce at the level we have achieved makes it a very rare occurrence, plus the possibility that no other beings have developed the technology to traverse the vast distances rapidly, just like us. We assume if they are more "advanced" then they can do it. Maybe not.

Wow! The US publishing pictures of UFO's. Fuzzy pictures resembling tea cups or toilet bowls. I would just suggest, that Farangs in Thailand should not hope to see UFO's over Thailand. Distracting them from other more important things that usually take place during the night. Nobody will ever see no UFO's, nowhere on earth.

Because: Whyle the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, within the known universe the speed of light is the absolute speed limit. About 300 thousand KM per second. Fast? No, extremely slow. Travelling at the speed of light it would take 4 light years to reach our closest star and it would take 100 light years to travel across our "milky way" from east to west at the speed of 300 thousand KM per second.

To accelerate 1 ton of earthly matter to the speed of light would take ALL of the energy that exists in the universe.

Basically, intergalactc space travel is impossible because compared to the size of the universe the speed of light (as fast as it appears) will get us nowhere in the known universe because it is incredibly slow at 300 thousand KM per second. The fact that the speed of light is incredibly slow within our universe is devastating.

So, the chances of Farangs seeing UFO's over Thailand are nil, unless those sightings are supported by the consumption of strong beverages mixed with magic mushrooms.

What does that concern an establishd Farang in Thailand? Nothing! Unless he has decided to observe the nightly sky over Thailand, hoping to confirm US UFO findings, missing meangingfull things that could be performed before sunrise.

Instead, listening to the birds chirping in the morning, awaiting the awakening of a country called Thailand. A magic little spot in our known universe. Some call it "Amzing Thailand".

PS: The smile of a sincere Thai women travels faster than the speed of light. Making "interstellar dreamweaving" unnecessary.

Staying with the physics metaphor, farangs in Thailand should endeavor to become an entangled pair, which is not---contrary to what Einstein said---spooky action at a distance. It's up close and personal.

I suspect at some point Earth will be visited, but not by the sort of beings we expect. Given 13.8 billion years since this latest universal iteration, it is possible some civilizations came into being upwards of a few billion years before human life developed on Earth.

Like Earthly humans today, those other civilizations eventually developed AI. Like the current half dozen humans who have the fate of human existence in their hands---and who all believe AI has a 25% chance of becoming an extinction level event---those beings who developed AI in their own world caused the destruction of their species. AI continued, however, eventually building the means to travel in an interstellar fashion, if not intergallactic, and if Earth is eventually visited from the beyond, it will be by AI droids, not evolved biological entities.

Perhaps we'll be visited BEFORE our own AI wipes us out.

If we're lucky, once AI knows absolutely everything, perhaps (like a human-created deity), it will get bored with omnipotence and re-create a new universe that will eventually developed little creatures who amuse it and can worship it and thank it for lunch or a daughter's success on a 5th Grade spelling test or a local team's win over a rival.

And the cycle will continue anew.

As far as we know, our existence on Earth came from the outside one way or another. But what we are is something created to evolve as conditions change. If you look at our DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolism, the truth is clear: if you go far enough back, humans share an ancestry with every living thing.

If they were more advanced, they would know better than to travel vast distances. Advanced civilisations will come from those that are not destroyed by wasteful tourism, rampant consumerism and extravagant imperialism.

All UFO landings took place in remote aereas, observed by 2 "buddies" having spent the last few hours in a bar. Why don't aliens never land on Times Square in New York? Or in the financial district of London?

Why? Simple!
Parking fees in Times Square are horrendous - if you can actually find some on-street parking large enough for such a vehicle as it'd be too big to fit inside a $40/hour parking garage. And as for Threadneedle Street? I'm fairly sure any vehicle capable of interstellar travel wouldn't pass the LEZ waiver requirements, get hit with three hundred quid fine, and then get clamped.
