This thread has shown some very deep emotions in people.

Let’s keep it cool Gentlemen

not really, just the same suspect who already declared many times elsewhere that they have no belief or interest in the subject matter, but still need to fill the quota of the day.

Somebody should tell him he doesn't have to reply to EVERY post.

If you have a problem with me you can send me a PM instead of talking behind my back. Or is that really more your style anyway bud?

Looks up front and in the open.

Those alien guys just love hanging around our solar system, stirring up stuff and trying to turn us against one another.

We need to stick together, at least until the robots take over, then we can let them (the robots) deal with those pesky aliens.

Then we will have less to worry about and lots more time to argue amongst ourselves, win, win, eh?

What was behind your back ? you mean in the public forum ?
Panzermeyer, it seems you think EVERY topic on SimHQ needs your input, even when you have zero interest in some. You mocks other who dare think differently than you.
I know I can speak for myself, I do not need your stamp of approval on anything.
It's sad, there really is a small fraction of members left here, and it is becoming quite toxic.

First of all, I post on topics that INTEREST me and you will see PLENTY of threads on Community Hall where I never posted at all if you bother to look. And what "stamp of approval" nonsense are you talking about?

But more importantly, it's quite obvious and humorous that my posting activity annoys you so wouldn't it just be much easier to put me on your ignore list? Trust me, my feelings won't be hurt and I won't lose any sleep over it.

Was oldgrognard's post not clear enough?

Everybody,

Naval crew confirm warships were swarmed by 100 'other worldly' UFOs

Sailors on board a fleet of Navy warships sailing off the Southern California coast in July 2019 witnessed several of the ships being swarmed by a host of unidentified flying objects. The incident went on for hours, and then happened again and again throughout the month, with craft hovering and zipping around near the fleet with flashing multicolored lights. Navy chiefs have tried to explain away the incident, with the Deputy Director for Naval Intelligence saying he was 'reasonably confident' the objects were drones.

Huh?

Drone Swarms That Harassed Navy Ships Off California Demystified In New Documents

So a big "nothing burger". Not surprised one bit.

Have you watched any of the David Fravor interview?

Who was controlling these "drones" ? Sound like the old "weather balloon" excuse. Nothing to see here folks. Oh, OK Mr. Government man.

Who is that directed at and why?

clearly he is speaking broadly but in response to your post as new excuse since methane gas is not a thing anymore and everyone can check where and when weather balloons were released now. were you talking about this interview or the podcast one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA-h3dIeD_A

Whatever...

I was referring to this I posted earlier:

Fravor's account (and his wing man) are clearly two of the most credible recent accounts. It cannot be testing of new black kit surely?

F4 - his Joe Rogan interview is also worth a listen.

We either trust our servicemen or we do not.

Hmmmm. A quick fun-calculation that might be wrong.

Uranium has lots of power per kilogram. A uranium fueled propulsion system (that was 100% efficient) would need over 500kg of uranium to propel 1kg of anything to the "speed of light". And, parenthetically, another 500kg to slow back down from the speed of light for landing.

Problem, what propels the 500kg of uranium in the "fuel tank" -- oh, that would need an additional 250,000kg of uranium. What would propel that 250,000kg -- oh, that would add 125,000,000kg (125 million kg) of uranium to the fuel tank -- and so on and so on to an infinitely large, infinitely heavy fuel tank.

Conclusion: Normal propulsion with normal energy sources won't work if one wants to travel among the stars at anywhere near light speed -- as many others have pointed out.

So, realistically, how would Aliens do it? For example, just go slow and take a few thousand years to get here (e.g. Alien Sentient Robots on a robot ship)?
