- >> Dale Ledoux is a member of ParaNet Gamma in Lousiana.-------------------------------------------------------- While I have not read th
- e material released under FOIA on this
- subject, and am therefore not fully informed on it, I am still
- skeptical. I offer the hypothesis that, assuming there is another
- civilization advanced enough to visit earth from extra-terrrestrial
- origin, these beings would also have within their means the ability
- to determine the fate of their previous probes, and would also have
- the means to propogate the news of their arrival(s) better than has
- been done.
- To date, I have seen no evidence that this has been done. As a
- past walker among battlefields, I have found many things that are of
- questionable origin, and many unexplained phenomena. Within the
- realm of my limited knowledge, I often find 'predictable' systems
- acting in unpredictable fashion, but all this means is that I don't
- have all the information.
- Too much of the UFObia smacks of efforts to ascribe near-godhood
- to extraterrestrials and to ascribe to government the time-worn idea
- that THEY (it's always the mysterious THEY) are trying to keep
- something good from us. I already feel that our country's security
- is too lax, and if these boys can't keep a secret about a recently
- developed piece of hardware like the F-19, I really don't think they
- can keep a secret about assorted and sundry chunks of
- extraterrestrial hardware stored in some desert warehouse.
- Of course, these same aliens could also be trying to remain
- incognito, in which case they wouldn't want the publicity. If that
- were the case, though, I doubt that they'd be really happy about this
- evidence in the hands of terrestrial authorities. I still contend
- that they'd be able to do something about it.
- Then, too, is the question, what sort of technology do you think
- the government is hiding if indeed they are hiding something? Unless
- I miss some bets, I think we can detail a fairly consistent research
- path to all of today's technology from earlier levels. I wish
- somebody would point to one of the quantum jumps that would possibly
- arise as a result of exposure to the detritus of some advanced
- civilization's space probe. It'd certainly be nice, though, if I
- could comfort myself with the knowledge that Reagan's SDI is based on
- some other technology from Alpha Centauri than the stuff I know
- about. Maybe this IS true. Aw, shoot, there I go again...
