New tests done on those mummies in Mexico this week show that they are authentic. There is no sign of being put together (tampered with).

[@jrv634]

I'm not sure Jaime Maussan is claiming they are extraterrestials (the media does though). As far as I understand he says the bodies belong to an unknown non-human species that lived 1,000 years ago and whose 30% of their DNA (not 70) is unkown. He doesn't rule out the possibility that they could be aliens, but he doesn't claim they are. This week they were analyzed live by doctors using MRI, X-Rays, and fluoroscopy. The doctors agreed the remains contain skelletons made of bone, and didn't see any evidence of the bodies having been built or artificially put together. The full video is available in youtube in both Spanish and English. Doctors agreed the shoulders and the joint of the head with the spine looked completely legit. The joints of the legs to the hip looked odd (maybe suspicious?), as they lacked the trochanters. The hands looked like they wouldn't have had a lot of mobility compared to humans. Part of the ribs were inside the spine itself (not just attached to the vertebra), which could be caused by a trauma or by the pressure of the ground above them when they were buried. Otherwise that would also be suspicious. But overall they agreed the skelletons were made of bone and hadn't been put together artificially.

[@RobertSmith-kj6eb]

@TwoBitDaVinci Bro, the claim was that 30% of the Mexico Alien Mummy's DNA was unknown. It wasn't 70 percent. I'm embarrassed for you. That's some 2 bit research you and your team are doing. XD

[@alphaniner3770]

I am also a scientist, a bio geologist in fact, and a forensic DNA expert. For starters, not all human DNA is known, because for that we need to sequence every genome of every individual cell of every individual person that ever lived with 100% precision - which is clearly impossible. Then, of most species of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria etc. not even a single specimen was sequenced ever. Then you can see that the amount of 'unknown' DNA that is out there in earthly organisms is absolutely staggering - 'unknown' DNA, without context, clearly doesn't tell us much. Then, sequencing DNA in (1000 years) old bodies is possible, but very difficult - normally it only works on teeth and bones. If you don't know what DNA you are looking for (which is obviously the case here) post mortem contamination (by bacteria, fungi etc.) is a huge problem. Would be interesting to read the papers of these researchers - could not find any so far. Link them if you find them.

[@cosmicHalArizona]

[@corrosionoc69]

As you said "lack of evidence is not evidence of lack". The inability to measure or detect some things does not mean it doesn't exist.

[@JonnoPlays]

You made glaring errors within 1 minute of the video starting. UAP stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon. It was changed because aerial could not include instances of underwater objects and the term needed expansion. Anyone covering this topic could do half an hour worth of research and figure that out. So clearly you didn't even do that much research to produce this video. Fascinating.

[@JonnoPlays]

The errors just keep going. Really earning your 2 bit name on this one.

[@mikefochtman7164]

I spotted the C-14 dating falacy as well, so glad you explained it so well. While bi-pedal locomotion could quite possibly co-evolved on other planets, a much more thorough study of those so-called 'alien bodies' should be welcomed by all. A truly alien life form would have answers about chirality of some molecules, the relative portions of many isotopes within such a body such as lead, iron and many other trace minerals, the arrangement of organs, literally hundreds of issues. I'm just a layman and these thoughts come to mind, yet the 'experts' don't want to do these tests?? A bit like your story of the neighbor with the dragon, "I have one, but no you can't examine it..."

[@sjsomething4936]

Agreed, congruent evolution appears to be a real possibility as it has happened here on earth previously, so finding a bipedal alien would not necessarily be a surprise to me, although I believe the Peruvian/Mexican samples are a hoax. I’m much more intrigued by whether DNA is something that would potentially evolve on other planets. Again, I wouldn’t be surprised as it seems to be a very compact and low-energy means for molecular transmission and preservation of data, particularly the fundamental data needed for life to replicate itself.

[@aclearlight]

Your answer is a very good one, and you're hearing this from a university chem prof. Comparing the genetics and biochemical details would be fascinating.

[@frankboff1260]

That’s probably already been done or is still being done but I doubt we will ever get the truth. Among the many things the governments and rich elites covet is knowledge. They simply cannot share anything. The power brokers are always hungry.

[@AlexandreLollini]

I like the open minded approach to this and the sticking to evidence as well. There is a mistake in the Drake equation chapter tho : you forgot the L final factor which relate to time, both the when and the duration of a civilisation. when taking this you get down to 5 CURRENT detectable civilisations in the Milky Way. This L factor is a way to remind that we can end fast, and we are nothing compared to Egyptians for example (with only 3 centuries of steam power).

[@Israel_Two_Bit]

Good point, but still, when you multiply that 5 times the number of galaxies, you still get a massively large number.

[@Baleur]

+ the Drake Equation does NOT factor in colonization or migration. it only gives you the number of, as you said, CURRENT detectable civilizations, assuming they only have 1 homeworld and sat there twiddling their thumbs all their life. What we need is to factor in, on average, how many other solar systems they might have spread to since they originated (an MIT estimate mentioned that for any civilization to colonize or at least send a physical probe to EVERY star in the galaxy, would only take 7 million years, due to it being exponential, once you have 100 colonies, your industrial output multiplies by a hundredfold, and thus you can send out 100x more probes / colony ships in the same unit of time as when you started). Because we dont really care about how MANY diverse civilizations there are, we care about how many solar systems are detectable by us. If there are 50 civilizations but they're all idle on their homeworlds, we'll never detect them, due to simple scales. If there are 2 civilizations and they've expanded to half the galaxy, THEN we'll detect them, and make contact. There are many flaws with the Drake Equation, and using it as a one-stop estimate requires one to think deeper than just the core formula. Edit: And i forgot another important point related to what you already touched on. The Drake Equation also does not factor in how many civilizations (who expanded) existed in the past... That is a huge factor, if you just look at Earth by itself (as the only datapoint we have), obviously far more species existed in the past, than exist currently. This is obvious due to the passage of time, but still peculiar how we seem to forget this when talking about alien civilizations. If vastly more civilizations existed in the past, than are currently alive, it still matters to us. We dont really "only" care about currently active civilizations, because if we were to find a probe or moon base built by another civilization, that would be an unbelievably valuable find, EVEN if they are no longer around, right? So if we then plug in MIT's estimate of 7 million years to FULLY explore the milky way galaxy (without FLT tech, by the way). For a single civilization. Divide that exploration-time by how many civilizations "actually" existed. Then factor in the billions of years the galaxy has existed. I would even argue that there ought to be some civilizations artifacts orbiting nearly every star system, perhaps even in our own. The universe "should be" an absolute junkyard of now extinct civilizations artifacts. This is simple extrapolatory math based on what is already agreed upon by science as a sensible best-guess method. And yet somehow, once you actually reach the exciting conclusions, science instantly turns its back and says "ridiculous". ET life can only exist in our distant future, far far away, according to scientists. They cannot comprehend that the universe doesnt care about our biases.

[@spicychad55]

the issue with that equation is they're trying to "estimate" the amount of alien life in a given galaxy when they never recorded an alien civilization. So how can they write an equation like that? Sounds like pseudo-science.

[@JMill77]

This is a big unknown - for all we know almost every civilization of sufficient intelligence finds a way to "make it" in the long run, where they are almost guaranteed to survive until the end of the universe (or at least their planet) with sufficient technology and social development.

[@Israel_Two_Bit]

@@BaleurThanks for the insight. Time is an obvious factor we didn't consider. In the end, the point is that it's almost sure alien life exists and, after reading your comment, I guess it's possible that at least some civilizations may have reached us at one time or another. Thanks for your input!!

[@vladimiralexanderlagos1477]

One of the things the Mexican researchers were explaining is that in the Nazca caves were these mummies were found there were several types of biological remains. One was a tall and gangly tridactyl humanoid (apparently female), of about 2,000 years old. Of these giant creature a few extra loose hands were found in the cave, also of a similar age. There was also a toddler whose body was mutilated post-mortem to resemble a trydactyl condition of about 1,600 years of age. Then there were these three famous tridactyl reptilians full corpses, plus assorted loose bodyparts like heads and hands; all from about 800 to 1,000 years old. Finally, there were three assembled figurines made to resemble the reptilian creatures using llama, feline, and children's bones. Those appeared to be between five hundred and six hundred years old, and were probably ceremonial figures of some sort. It was these assembled figurines that were conflated with the real mummies and used as proof that the whole lot was a hoax. Only the three reptilian bodies were taken out of Peru for examination. Since the Peruvian government refused to even acknowledge them as valid archeological relics, they could and were legally taken out of the country to Mexico. The tall tridactyl humanoid, the baby, and the loose body parts were indeed protected and are still gathering dust in a university because Peru refuses to have them examined.

[@Pavel_Poluian]

There are many lies here in the field of UFO, but the truth can be established by special methods of Open-source intelligence (TEXT MINING). 😎 After studying all the materials about UFOs, it becomes quite obvious that since the late 40s of the twentieth century, a secret project has been developing in the United States for the development and production of aircraft, where the lifting force is created using high-frequency vibration. It all started with James Pitts' "Sky Car" vibrating orthotopter umbrella, then the umbrella was closed with a dome and devices appeared according to the scheme of conventional electromagnetic vibrating speakers (membrane + inductance) - fragments of the membrane were found by a farmer in Roswell. 🕳👽🕳👽🕳 Then they created piezoelectric thrusters, or with small dischargers on the surface (they glowed all over the body due to ionization of the air), and now they are planes with plasma propulsion panels (so they are angular - that is, with flat surfaces). Thousands of discharge cells are densely packed into motor panels - they shoot streams of plasma (railgun architecture - coaxial electrodes). The ionized air of the spark discharge is accelerated in the railgun chamber by the Lorentz force to enormous speeds - a kind of ramjet engine is obtained. Just imagine! - tens of thousands of small ramjet engines assembled in panels and launching plasma synchronously at a huge frequency (hundreds of kilohertz). Plasma jets form toroidal air vortices - this air cushion creates lift and acceleration. See, for example, the MARAUDER (Magnetically Accelerated Ring to Achieve Ultra-high Directed Energy and Radiation) project. 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫 My article "UFOs are made in the USA" and the books "UFO Hunt" and "UFO Elimination" describe all this in detail. The technology is quite mundane - it is known in great detail thanks to information leaks. For example, air ionization in the coaxial elements of a railgun is created using radiation (radioactive polonium is introduced into the metal). Devices of this type were used throughout the 50s-60s-70s-80s for secret missions (they took off, as a rule, from special submarines). With the fall of the USSR, their use by the United States was practically curtailed (in the novel "Little Green Men" by Christopher Buckley, speechwriter Bush Sr., a scene is described where the US president decides to curtail the "flying saucer" project).🤢🤢🤢 The winding down of the project can be recorded by the drop in magnesium consumption in the United States, since such fuel was used in fuel cells (magnesium strips were burned in forced galvanic batteries), this is 2007-2008. However, later the development of the technology continued in the Russian Federation and China (the technology was restored by reverse engineering methods for downed devices). 🐼🐨🐻‍❄🐻 Secrecy, however, was maintained and there was no civilian use because the technology was not suitable for it - harmful microwave radiation from pulsed plasma thrusters (harm to pilots and impact on electrical appliances inside and along the flight line). The payload is small (but one nuclear charge is enough). There is no radio communication - unmanned vehicles can fly and maneuver only in accordance with the program. 🖤🖤🖤🖤 Previously, there was a narrow application profile - rare spy missions (so that pilots do not get a lot of radiation). Reconnaissance aircraft of this type were often observed at military bases, missile launch sites and airfields. They were even seen by peaceful geologists in the taiga, where clearings for seismic exploration were laid - UFOs flew there to check whether military construction was underway (I myself heard stories about this))). I think that soon this technology will be declassified, and cargo airships with flickering round plasma panels on the surface of the hull will appear in the Arctic sky.👣👣👣👣

Because they aren't coming from outer space. They live here, some in our ocean, some in a dimension we aren't capable of seeing. They hide because we are destructive, greedy, and kill pretty much anything we fear and don't understand. They've been here longer than us. I'm sure there are some races that have come here from space, but the ones that are active right now, are the ones we share this world with. As for the ones that come from space, they are coming here either on scouting missions, or scientific discovery missions. The former being very bad for us. And we have no idea how they travel vast distances. We only understand what we understand. An advanced civilization more than likely has technology that we cannot even comprehend or theorize on. Travel for them could be likened to how we step through a door. Point A to Point B by moving or removing a barrier. Or Point A to Point B, by omitting everything in between. It's hard to say. But the fact is, we are not alone, and we haven't been since our conception.

They mask military programs, real UFOs, flying saucers and triangles - it's all purely terrestrial technology. First they were made in the USA, and now they have been copied both in Russia and in China. Now, in conditions of global tension, the appearance of Russian UFO-type reconnaissance vehicles near American military facilities is more than justified. But it is important to remember that this technique is secret, first used by the Americans themselves in 1947, they actively used UFOs for many years... But this technology, plasma propulsion panels, it is still not very convenient to use. Firstly, during the operation of high-frequency pulsed railgun cells that make up the motor panels, strong microwave radiation occurs. It (even when shielded by a Faraday grid) has a harmful effect on pilots. Therefore, it is impossible to fly on these devices all the time. Secondly, because of the microwave, it is impossible to maintain radio communication with the devices. And, thirdly, the lifting capacity of the devices is still small. That is why "flying saucers" are used in secret mode for espionage purposes. However, recently such a spy function has become irrelevant due to the opening of borders and the availability of new technologies (satellite tracking). I advise you to read Christopher Buckley's book "Little Green Men", which satirically talks about the secret UFO technique and the spread of misinformation about aliens and even about fake "kidnappings" to support the legend. K. Buckley was a speech writer for Bush Sr., he knew many secrets.♎♍♏

My mother and I saw a giant orb in the western sky over the Kansas/Missouri. The 2 fighter jets that were dispatched flew around the thing and were relatively small in comparison the whole thing took place over an hour. No explanation for it back in 1980. We discussed it several times through the years both of us trying to describe it. Now I know that we weren't alone others saw it in other area's of the country.

[@Shimmy-xg9xu]

You left out what Grusch has testified to. He ran a 4 year investigation interviewing over 40 witnesses, both inside and formerly inside a UFO crash retrieval program that still runs today inside our government. All with what is called "Title 50" clearance. AARO only has "Title 10" clearance. This os a MASSIVE difference that cannot be understated. This clearance alone is what got Grusch read into over 2000 SAPs (Special Access Programs). The other part you don't mention about Grusch's testimony is when he said the IC has been running a disinformation/propaganda campaign against the American people for about 8 decades. Now as much as scientists like to put themselves above "the people" I'm sorry but they're still "the people". The disinformation and propaganda has been run on them as well. Kept from ALL the people are the many many reports of these objects from such credible sourses as scientists, astronauts, soldiers, pilots. Some of the many many things that you DON'T seem to know about would blow your mind. It's all out there, it's all accessible. You just have to do the work to find it. No doubt the scientific community disregards good investigators as "cranks" as a knee jerk reaction. This limits what those who fancy themselves deeply inside the scientific community's knowledge. The bottom line is the old saying "if you only knew". If you only knew how much you dont know about the subject, you would have made a very very different video. If you trully believe "NASA is on our side" as youve stated in the video. Just the other day at a NASA press conference Bill Nelson, the director of NASA was asked what he thought about the Grusch testimony. Nelson replied "From what I've gathered from watching the evening news Grusch was told by a friend of his that somebody has alien parts". Now I've paraphrased here, but im not far off from the actual quote. I MUST know, how do you characterize this comment. The UAP hearing was carried live. Millions watched. Thousands showed up at the capital to see it in person. What do you think about the director of NASA not only not bothering to watch what could be the most historic hearing in the existence of mankind, but not even bothering to get the gist?

[@robotx4242]

100% agree. The mainstream science community will go down in history the same as people who refused to look through Galileo's telescope. The willful ignorance on UAP/UFO phenomenon and slavish devotion to the status quo will not age well. Their top three mistakes are: 1. Dismissing the phenomenon because available evidence like eyewitness testimony isn't convenient to their research methods. 2. Pretending all available data is open and available for research by anyone and not hampered by layers of national security issues. 3. Pretending there isn't an on going disinformation campaign by intelligence agencies to manipulate public opinions on the subject.

[@47f0]

It's not too freaking hard. At best, once you boil down the hearings, what you have is allegations of hearsay. There was not one shred of direct testimony. If you find that somehow compelling, I have some prime Florida real estate I'd like you to invest in. Guaranteed, no sinkholes.

[@LivingMidnight]

It's very probably not aliens. If we'd picked up a signal from deep space, saying, "Hi! We're aliens!" then yes, it's probably aliens. If you're finding crashed space craft with dead bodies in them, it's almost certainly NOT aliens, unless they're based somewhere within the solar system. Deep space travel is extremely difficult and dangerous, not to mention *incredibly* slow. If aliens were able to come visit us they would have to have overcome some hard limits. For example, the literal speed of causality (!) which nothing can exceed without breaking reality. If aliens could do that, they'd be to us like gods. In that case, the only reason for them to have anything to do with...crashed junk with supposed little green men in them, is to fuck with us. It's a joke. We're idiots. We're either clowns or we're being laughed at by gods.

If there was no truth to this issue then it wouldn’t be at the security level “Need to know only” which is the highest level of security. Even the President of the U.S. doesn’t qualify as “need to know”. That alone, IMO, tells me it’s true. The government does have UAP’s in their possession as well as bodies of alien life forms. Just use a little common sense, if the government didn’t have these UAP’s and alien life forms there wouldn’t be the highest level of security available protecting this evidence.

[@SapioiT]

Antigravity might not be the case, but bending space itself, in which case it might make sense why it can reach supersonic speeds without a sonic boom, or go through space, air, water, and maybe even dirt and rock, for all we know. Or maybe it uses something like a kind of warp "dimension" or warp bubble which puts the entire craft out of phase with normal matter so only a few points of interaction exist, like light, maybe sound and radio, and possibly magnetoelectric fields.

[@gali01992]

At 13:05 is a segment showing a round metallic object covered in bumps. This is a Mylar pilot balloon, about 2 meters (6 feet) in diameter, used to observe winds in the upper atmosphere. As a US Army meteorologist, I had the opportunity to send them up from White Sands Missile Range back in 1975. These balloons are tracked by radar so they are covered with a metallic coating similar to a party balloon, and the bumps greatly increase the radar image.

[@davidmlong63]

Have you considered the possibility that these objects may not be physical in the traditional sense, but rather a type of "projection" that mimics physical objects enough to be detected by radar or other sensors? If they were projections, they could move at high speeds and perform the maneuvers witnessed without breaking known laws of physics. I was playing with my cat and noticed a similar effect with a laser pointer. By moving the dot quickly and maneuvering it in different directions, my cat chased after it without understanding its true nature or whereabouts. It's possible these objects operate in a similar manner, appearing as physical objects to our sensors but functioning differently in reality.

Good, well-balanced video! It is possible that we're alone in this galaxy (as a species that's developed technology). Possible, but unlikely. Much more likely is that there are far more advanced civilizations than us in this galaxy but they're so far away that they don't even know we exist yet. Another possibility is that they do exist, are close enough to know about us, but simply don't care - we are less interesting to them than slugs are to us. In fact, they would probably process information at a rate that would make our movements and thought processes seem many times slower than any slug does to us. They could probably read the whole of War and Peace in less time than it would take for us to give them our first name.😂

Good, but my problem with Carl Sagan was his extraordinary quote that is repeated as a mantra by so called skeptics. I think Avi Loab did well to reply to it by saying how do you define extraordinary And how the alien explanation is mondane not extraordinary. And that evidence requires research and effort and not sitting waiting for evidence to come by itself. The biggest take away is that we need to fund research for the probability that we are already been visited, and not brush that away by assuming we had never been visited.

Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) propulsion. You need to ionize the fluid (air or water) around the object. Then, you need a magnetically reactive surface that can push the fluid in the desired direction so you can create zones of higher or lower pressure around the vessel to steer it around. Your vessel is literally sucked around in the desired direction. That could in theory allow crazy accelerations, but it wouldn't work in very thin air or in vacuum. Also, since the air is just moved out of the way, you don't get sonic booms by breaking the sound barrier. Or at least, it is very attenuated. It can hover as much as it wants with little to no consideration to the wind. It likely produce some whistling as the air moves around. It may also produce a glow since the ionized air catch back elections from the surrounding air. Round shapes seem perfect for MHD. This is something we might actually be able to build. That could in theory also work underwater. Years ago, there were rumors of military submarines able to use that kind of propulsion. The problem is: it take a damn lot of energy to operate and for that reason, it must be heavy and short range. It also can't be crewed because of the acceleration.

[@thomasmount3530]

Ok here's the deal. Gravity tech allows you to go back in time. Our theory of an infinite multiverse is correct. You can 'erase' entire timelines. This is where the 'fight' is at in our universe. Several competing interests trying to ensure nobody else erases their timeline. Furthermore, you can improve your own early evolution. The sensible approach would be to make sure you evolved as early as possible in the timeline of the universe, opening up the tactic of going back and modifying your own history to help you evolve faster. You would be looking to have your ancestors back-engineer your own future technology, which would require a situation similar to the one we seem to be in. Namely that our technology suddenly spikes in complexity, and as early as possible, we are given some bits of technology to reverse-engineer. Our future selves are simply trying to get our evolution to happen earlier in the universe's timeline, leading to every weird phenomena that we are unable to discount.

[@donhull2440]

Ricky, a simple correction of a common misconception When an object exceeds the speed of sound the air can't move fast enough to pass around the object so a pressure wave is formed at the object's leading point and/or edges. This pressure wave is present as long as the object exceeds the speed of sound. This pressure wave spreads out, quickly and when it passes by an observer the observer hears a "sonic boom". A great example of this phenomenon was when the Space Shuttle would return to Florida, crossing several states on the way. The continuous pressure wave it formed while still supersonic caused people under the flight path to hear a sonic boom over multiple states. Interestingly, the pressure wave trailing the supersonic object is also "traveling" at supersonic speed but it doesn't cause its own sonic boom. That is why you hear a boom instead of a continuous rumble.
