could you timestamp any moments in this video that you feel are especially compelling please

probably the 1952 DC incident (12:54). The whole thing is worth a watch, though - lemmino is an excellent investigator (his one on db cooper was fantastic), and explores things with an impressive epistemic attitude.

He recently did a follow up ufo video, but the first one is a must watch.

Also, any interviews with David Fravor are great - the rogan one is good. The Lex Friedman one has more detail, but they discuss a lot more general things in addition.

meh. as many scientists are wont to say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. why am i supposed to presume aliens when people see white lights in the sky? i remember when i was a teenager, seeing these illuminated cylindrical shapes flying through the sky on the horizon. I was so completely sure for a while they were spaceships. Turned out to be birds, reflecting sunlight at twilight.

Like trans said, I'm sure there is life out there but sincerely doubt it can travel here due to sheer distances or the energy required to fold space...

Apparently it’s telepathy...

still need a language for that

Tiny minds can't comprehend advanced technology^^^...

still need a language for that

OCCAM'S RAZOR, XER0S

telepathy

Again, a species far more advanced than ours could have the capability to communicate telepathically with whatever language they choose...

which isn't real

it's impossible to understand an unknown language without a Rosetta Stone* equivalent

* by which mean the actual historical Rosetta Stone not the thing weaboos use to learn basic Japanese so they can converse with their crusty pillow waifus

Try to imagine a civilization that is a million years more advanced than ours. A million years. That’s not that long of a time in the grand scheme. The universe is so old and so big, there could easily be billions of civilizations that are millions of years older than ours. Imagine how advanced their technology is. They could have figured out how to traverse space and time, traveling fast distances. Which by the way, scientists have’t ruled out interstellar travel as impossible, because there is no law of physics that actually forbids it...

A species a million years older than ours ..................

Again, you underestimate the ability of a vastly advanced species...

Apparently it’s telepathy...

which isn't real

Any advanced civilisation that could actually travel the unimaginable distance to earth would only be here for one thing and that’s resource. They wouldn’t even say hello, we would be insignificant to them.

Which isn’t actually a thing. Unless you know different?

I mean, if a civilization reaches a point where they can travel between galaxy's, or even within the galaxy it's safe to assume they've probably also mastered the ability to acquire resources without killing off entire fledgling civilizations. Beyond the fact that asteroids and moons, deserted planets likely have more than enough resources it's also entirely possible these aren't even necessary as they can probably just manipulate matter into what they need and probably use suns to provide themselves with power. I bet encountering new life is probably something they would actually want to happen so they can study it and learn about their own past.

In a million years, you don’t think we will have the ability to communicate without speaking? Obviously I’m talking about technological advancements. The human body will never evolve to do this. But we are becoming more and more infused with technology every day. There won’t some day be a chip implanted in a our brain? I think it’s obvious there will be...

Their motivation to be here could be a number of things.

If it’s easy for them to get here, then resources wouldn’t have to be the primary reason. We would have no idea for their presence.

Just to be clear, if you read what I’ve said, I’ve never claimed there were aliens visiting us. I’m simply open to the idea. And the reason for that is exponential technological advancement. A civilization much older than ours may have the ability to do things we can’t even imagine. So it can’t be ruled out.

As Arthur C. Clarke wrote: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic...

In a million years we’ll be gone at the rate we’re consuming.

I don’t buy it and to date the proof backs me up. However we’ve been a blip in time and I absolutely believe there’s other civilisations in our galaxy.

What I don’t believe is they would want to visit (if they could, which they can’t) given the way we fight and pollute. There’s also a solid theory no civilisation makes it to a star-fairing level thanks to random acts like supernova etc.

I think believing in aliens visiting us draws huge parallels with religion and our in ability to accept we come from nothing and return to nothing.
