People Share The Best Theories About Aliens They've Ever Heard

I'm still on the fence about this whole extraterrestrial situation. I need more proof. Now I'm not naive enough to think that in this vast, endless universe only the human race exists. I just need proof, tangible, solid, didn't see it from my trailer through beer goggles proof.

I also need proof about the afterlife, another out there topic. Truth be told, I've never been that into this whole conversation. I've got enough daily problems on this planet, let alone worrying about making Will Smith's biggest hits into documentaries and not just popcorn/comedy space farce.

But let's compare thoughts...

Redditor u/ValencikHannibal197 wanted to discuss life beyond this planet, what do we really think? They asked:

What's the best theory on UFOs or aliens you've ever heard??

I definitely wouldn't turn down an excursion to AREA 51. I'd like to poke around and get a sense of the place. I've never personally been up close and face to face with a "non-Earther." Not sure I'd like to be...

TV Truth

x files monkey pee GIF by The X-FilesGiphy

"UFOs/Aliens are a cover for all of the secret projects that the government is working on. Actually stole that from the X files."

Birth

"How human birth parallels alien abductions:

  • Babies are taken from their home (womb)
  • They still developing sight, so they see bright lights and grey figures.
  • They hear an "alien" language they don't understand.
  • They suddenly feel cold after leaving their womb.
  • They are in a surgery room being poked with tons of instruments.

Long story short: some people suggest that abductions are just people who had memories of their birth."

In the Mind

"I just don't think anyone will ever see this. But I think that UFO's are the projection of our unconscious collective mind. Everything that exists in reality, also exists, in our immaterial mind. Is it possible that the insides of our mind are also just one drop in the ocean of consciousness... and together we create the material reality were in, simply by experiencing it in a real way, inside-out through our senses."

Flyover...

"My father was an aircraft mechanic and fabricator for test and spy aircraft for the USAF. He spent 75-85 working with test aircraft. He said that when they were going to do a test, that could possibly be seen by the public, they would make a betting pool on how many UFO reports local authorities and flight towers received."

Under the Sea

"I like the idea that some UFOs aren't machines. Instead they are some sort of Upper-Atmosphere Jellyfish. I found the issue of Fortean Times that had this article. Here's the cover: https://ft.gjovaag.com/q/images/a/ae/FT291.jpg"

- BigD1970

Interesting. There are some ideas we can look into. None of it proof, but possibilities. There are certainly plenty of future film ideas.

Like 2012...

"We are like that un contacted tribe and everyone agrees not to bother us."

- Salty-Tortoise

"I've heard it explained from a channel (idk if you know what channeling is) kinda like this. First of all, we as a species tend to freak out, shoot first and ask questions later. Most humans would have a literal psychotic break. You have to believe in vibrational energy as it relates to our consciousness."

"The aliens (certain ones) are at such a higher level that it would be jarring for us to come in close contact with. We are slowly getting there but it's a process. Like 2012, end of the Mayan calendar, wasn't the end of the world it was the end of an energy cycle that we as the human race had never made it past before."

"Previous civilizations have been destroyed or destroyed themselves before they got this far. We passed a point where we are very unlike to destroy ourselves anymore. This doesn't mean we won't see some real bad hardships yet but we will keep progressing."

"train your eyes"

Dancing GIFGiphy

"I was a firm believer in t em when I was in high school and kept googling theories and info in my spare time and during my study halls. They said their bodies were so lightweight or something that the reason why you can't see the evidence is that they disintegrate before hitting the ground."

"And then LOL it was so funny, some people would swear you could "train your eyes" to see rods... HhhahAHAHAHA. Like there were these experts. Video showed him walking around with a serious face, then pointing. And he's like, "that was one just there." "You can't see them, you have to be used to them... like me."

"I've spent many years immersed into hunting them finding them. That's why I can see them." And then one day China, who loves occult stuff, had like a lab that set up a nighttime camera to capture footage of rods at night... then realized they were normal bugs at overexposure. lol"

- ExpectGreater

Lurking

"The Dark Forest theory. Basically the theory that the reason we haven't made contact is because all the other civilized life in the universe/galaxy knows not to broadcast their location. They've learned that there's something awful or predatory lurking in the dark forest of our galaxy, and that it's better if they keep to themselves."

- AWildLychnus

Unknowns...

"That the universe is so vast that we haven't been discovered yet."

- neoastic

"This makes sense to me because traversing the distance to or from even our our stellar neighbors would require technology that is not known to us now or likely to be known by us anytime soon if it's even possible at all. To assume without evidence that aliens could possess this technology and have visited us does not meet my skeptical standards."

- KZED73

Back and Forth

back to the future great scott GIFGiphy

"Time travel exists, and UFO sightings are actually future humans coming back to our time. That is why they are so discreet, and never openly make contact."

- mingey555

I hope time travel exists. Now that I'm onboard for. If aliens do exist... just come on out guys. We could probably use your help.

Ted Cruz Met With Brutal 'Ted, You Suck!' Chant By Texas Fans During Live Interview On ESPN's 'College GameDay'

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz got a taste of just how little people actually like him when he was met with loud boos and chants of "Ted, you suck!" during an appearance on ESPN to promote the Protect College Sports Act ahead of a football game between Texas and Ohio State on Saturday.

Cruz gave an extended interview in Austin during College GameDay to discuss the legislation one critic said was crafted "under the guise of ending chaos tracing to decades of antitrust violations that denied the players the ability to earn anything for their skills, sacrifices, and fame, the proponents of the bill want to limit the amount of money that goes to players, diverting it to the programs."
