r/UFOscience

I previously made a post in here asking about people’s thoughts on Ning Li and Eugene Podkletnov for opinions/research, and wanted to share this video I finished discussing the both of them to get peoples thoughts.

I honestly think this feels like a big smoking gun with the amount of evidence there is that the US has cracked antigravity and had it for decades.

I’d love nothing more than feedback about anything I missed/ didn’t find. I was hoping to find more info on Podkletnov’s connection to Boeing and other MIC companies but wasn’t able to find anything, and was surprised Podkletnov still does interviews to this day.

To me, aliens are in the same category as many myths that get repeated until people start treating them like history. After decades of claims, documentaries, "whistleblowers," and blurry UFO videos, we still don't have a single piece of publicly verified evidence proving extraterrestrial life has visited Earth. No confirmed spacecraft, no authenticated alien technology, no biological evidence, and no scientific consensus. If the evidence isn't there, why should I believe the stories?

I'm open to changing my mind, but I'd need actual evidence, not anecdotes, rumors, or "the government is hiding it." If you think aliens have visited Earth, what's the strongest piece of verifiable evidence that supports that claim? Can you prove me wrong?

When I mean aliens, I meant by similar to our oldest animals way back then in Earth, from Paleozoic Era and Mesozoic Era.

Mostly in Kepler Planets that seems habitable.

EDIT: I meant, outside our solar system, not our galaxy. Sorry for the misunderstanding

I can understand appointing someone who has an open mind on the possible existence of visitors to Earth. However, as a scientist, I find that Loeb crosses over into sensationalism instead of rational analysis.

He continues to insist that the first observed interstellar object, Oumuamua, is of extraterrestrial technological origin and has doubled down with 31/Atlas. Apparently aliens like to send probes/spaceships zooming through our solar system.

Yes, when Oumuamua started to show some strange behavior, then it is okay to speculate. However once natural phenomena are proposed that can explain the behavior, then I think "alien technology" has to take a back seat.

It’s good to have a space like this subreddit dedicated to science on this topic. But having followed this subreddit on and off for a while, I’m surprised by the parochialism
of nearly all discussions, which undercuts the quality of debate. Two observations:

1. First of all, there is practically no serious engagement with the substantial rigorous scientific literature on “experiencers”, beyond the tired references to the work to John E Mack. It’s notable that when advocates appeal to scientific authority or studies, they pretty much stick to Mack, rather defensively. Why is there a paucity of real engagement with all of the important work done critiquing him and the experiencer phenomenon, or the alternative explanations grounded in actual research?
2. Second, The focus of many UFO/UAP discussions is either a) on earth-based events (is that a plane or an orb, etc) , which is such a narrow and frankly banal horizon of interest, or b) highly conjectural and fanciful claims about the nature of dimensions, space, time, time travel, etc.
   But There is such a fantastic amount of scientific research being done currently that is ignored by this subreddit. For instance, the Vera C Rubin observatory is assembling an amazing catalogue of deep space artifacts to better understand dark matter and energy, with perhaps remarkable consequences for our understanding of the fabric of the universe. Efforts like this, grounded in actual science, get short shrift here.
3. This is all perplexing. My sense is that the reason there is so little engagement with actual Science on a purported science subreddit is because most people on here are not qualified - do not have the training and understanding - to actually understand much of the research being conducted today, which makes it harder to comprehend what’s relevant and what isn’t. This is probably exacerbated by the general tendency to reject research that is mainstream, often on the broad strokes of conspiracy thinking (don’t trust Mainstream scientists etc) and a misunderstanding of how research communities actually work (I’m a social scientist with a PhD and can tell you that these communities are far from monolithic).
   Thoughts about 1&2 above? I ask these questions in a spirit of real inquiry, and I apologize if anyone is offended.

I feel if you believe in life on other planets, then you are at least open to the possibility there are more advanced civilization than us and they could have visited us in the past or today. Do West and other debunkers believe that or they hold the conservative views we are alone? Is it that's why they are debunking all videos and see them as pure nonsense?

I went to school in Dayton, Ohio, from 2019 to 2022. During that time, I would scroll through Craigslist looking for odd jobs. Although I never applied, one of the more interesting gigs I saw at the time was a paid research study by the AFRL on how humans react to drone swarm behavior. In light of all the events recently with large-scale UFO/drone sightings, I think this is a pretty solid connection that they were connected to the US Air Force.
