“Secretly made” lol

It was already premiered at SXSW earlier this year. If it had anything groundbreaking to say that wasn’t just a rehash of UFO lore, we would have already heard all the details.

It was done in secret of the aliens, they hade no idea they were being filmed because the documentarians were wearing clown costumes.

UFO enthusiasts should read speculative Sci Fi like Orion's Arm or Project Rho.

Like... if aliens exist, and they have the capability to travel across galaxies to get here, they aren't octopuses in flying saucers that we can detect. They're basically omniscient and invisible. Their ships would look more like this:

It can redirect the path of a snowflake or rip a moon to fragments. It can accelerate a pebble into a habitat-shattering kinetic bomb or decelerate a RKKS projectile to harmlessness. It can reach down to a planetary surface from orbit and lift a sophont into space or shatter the crust of a world.

And that's a ship that wants to be seen, restricted to plausible physics humans can imagine, from a 'primitive' civilization with a mere 14,000 lightyears of expansion. That's nothing on an astronomical timescale.


Point being it's ridiculous to think we'd detect atmospheric UFOs, or that they'd even need atmospheric UFOs. It's anthropic fallacy. If they want to stay hidden (and astrophysical objects like re-arranged stars don't give them away), they can stay hidden.

Boring!

I want octopus aliens who love fried tiger prawns and martinis and who prefer their ships to have a 1950s, "nuclear age" aesthetic.

Also, everyone assumes human scale. Why wouldn't an alien craft be half an inch long?

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

There's a passage in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy about that, if I remember right. Some alien species is grievously offended by something Earth does (unknowingly). They marshall their proudest battle fleet and commence an invasion of the planet. However, "due to a small miscalculation in scale, the entire fleet was swallowed by a passing small dog."

How primitive! Truly advanced aliens can put all this mumbo jumbo in a flying saucer.

[–] cv_octavio@piefed.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Upvoted for project RHO. That is some GOLD standard OG Internet right there.

A secretly made documentary that features Marco Rubio. Oooookay.

Funny how as cameras get cheaper, more ubiquitous and higher resolution, THE TRUTH gets blurrier.

Maybe aliens are blurry.

[–] GCanuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

A theory for how Superman isn’t recognized as Clark Kent is that he vibrates at high speed so whenever he gets his picture taken, he’s blurry.

And Superman is an alien.

The defence rests.

You joke but some people actually think this. I think the term they use is soft bodied ufos

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Curious to watch the interviews, that being said, I highly doubt this will change my mind at all. Let's see how it goes.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

They only found 34 major names for the documentary? That's surprising. There are hundreds in the American government that believe every lie that comes out of Trump's mouth. It's shocking that more of them don't believe in little, green men from Mars.
