no Roswell FBI file thread?

[Slargos]

I wonder what it says that both Tamas and Slargos were so excited to post about this.

I. Found. It. Amusing.

Jeez.

If there ARE aliens in storage, they're sure as shit not going to release that kind of information willingly. 

That's bullshit. If the US had found aliens and a crashed ship on it we'd know. Stalin's spies would have found out and he would have demanded access to it on the point of war.

And why would the government have kept it secret even in the first place? It would have used it to justify a massive effort to militarize space.

Perhaps. It's pointless to speculate.

I'm just saying that it's the kind of secret that wouldn't get "declassified". If it was decided to keep something like this secret it would be buried so deep that even God couldn't find it.

And after the last guardian of the alien body dies it is discovered in an old vault by an intrepid archologist... NO, a coroner... No, a veterinarian...

Military loves a good threat to justify a big budget and this can be used as hammer from now until the end of time. It would be leaked to the press in 10 seconds flat.

Are you saying that there are no aliens?

But me likes aliens to fight!

Me want Mjolnir armor!!

[Neil]

How could you possibly fight aliens?  Infantry is worse than useless in a nuke fight, and nukes are barely useful in relativistic warfare.

What are you talking about?
Aliens wants our resources, so they would never glass our planet.
They will land, and when they do, I will defeat them with my awesome power.

Why would they want the Earth's paltry resources?  And even if they did, why not glass the planet and then extract the resources?

[Tonitrus]

True.  If they're capable of interstellar travel, then plenty of moons, asteroids, and other planetoids to mine.

Unless the resources that they want are trees, crops to circle, human sex slaves, or cattle to mutilate (or cattle sex slaves).  Then glassing the planet would be a bad idea.

If they come for the beets, all of us but Tamas are going to be eating glass.

[Tamas]

This is stupid shtick, I dont even know what beet is

[grumbler]

That's what makes it funny (to those of us with a better command of the language).

[The Brain]

It's a silly argument. Obviously they did keep it secret, and still are.

The earth is the only planet in the universe which can can produce the Theobroma cacao tree.  Aliens don't dare glass the planet for fear of damaging the galactic chocolate trade and plunging the universe into a nightmare of rationing and carob.
