I understood this differently. I think the UFOs have come to Earth to investigate our conspiracy theories about UFOs with capabilities far beyond what the "real" UFOs posses. Baruch (talk) 07:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

A skeptical human would not confront UFO believers with evidence that aliens do not exist. They would confront them with the fact that none of the supposed evidence so far has held water, making (extraterrestrial) UFO's not more likely to be real than any other random fantasy. Quite a different matter, since there's rarely verifiable evidence of things not existing. 172.71.90.9 08:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

The 5 Observables

Nowadays, the believers' gold standard for UFOs UAPs is this:

There are five, consistent observations we continue to see that are uniquely associated with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena or UAPs.  Understanding these characteristics and their application requires us to have a very good understanding of advanced physics at the quantum level. 

The five observables can be categorized as follows: 

  1. Sudden and instantaneous acceleration
  2. Hypersonic velocities without signatures
  3. Low observability
  4. Trans-medium travel
  5. Positive lift 

Basically, if it seems to break physics, it's a UFO. Aliens who got here using established physics would naturally be curious about that. 172.70.243.214 10:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Cueball is an alien?

A previous edit suggested that Cueball is an alien. Is this canon or a conspiracy theory? 172.70.243.213 10:26, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
