Back in the 1920's an American president was quoted as declaring that everything which could be invented was already in existence.
Today, "conventional wisdom" informs us that the laws of gravity can only be mitigated but never violated by any known technology, and yet, a long the list of credible observers, including numerous airline and military pilots, claim to have witnessed other-worldly air vehicles under intelligent control, performing aerobatic maneuvers that go far beyond the capabilities of all known military or civilian aircraft.
A man named Robert Lazar claimed back in the '80's to have worked inside the uber-secretive military base, Area 51, out in the Nevada desert. Mr. Lazar described alien craft that had crashed and been retrieved by the military, and which were being test-flown and reverse-engineered by scentists at that fabled facility. Witnesses peering at the night sky just outside the Area 51 restricted area have described seeing wildly zig-zagging lights in the night sky, whipping about in a manner that simply could not be replicated by any known conventional aircraft.
Naturally, the official response to Mr. Lazar's claims was one of dismissive ridicule, but, bearing in mind that yesterday's science fiction often morphs into contemporary technology, one wonders if there indeed may be some basis to the seemingly outlandish claims made by Mr. Lazar, which included a description of gravity-countracting technology that lies well beyond the realms of anything currently in existence on Earth.
Since electronics does occupy the leading edge of technological advancement, I thought it would be interesting to hear a few opinions on the subject of UFO's in general, here at the world's most heavily visited electronics website.
So, what do y'all think ? Is planet Earth truly the only celestial body occupied by living critters, or could there be others that may in fact be home to civilizations that are technologically superior to the human race ?
