alt_f13 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I think SETI should start a Ufology department, but something like that may be too poorly thought of for an organization to take up. I think ufology is a valid area of interest, if only to prove the nonexistance of UFOs (but not geared towards that conclusion by any means). A methodical and statistics based investigation into UFOs could be beneficial. You never know, we might just find some extra-terrestrial intelligence at home. Any thoughts?

Sayonara Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 The SETI project no longer exists you know. Or rather, it no longer receives funding as an integral part of any space program. Hence the whole distributed computation of data from borrowed telescope time. But this has been done before, normally for political reasons. Google for Project Bluebook.

YT2095 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 UFO`s (by nature of its name) most certainly exist, I have been witness to a few in my life also. as for flying saucers....Hmmm... the jury`s still out on that one the exploration of ANY phenomenon is a worthwill persuit IMO. so I agree with you, the gov should allow some money for this and spend a little on weapons perhaps? one Nuke could buy a hell of alot of Telescope time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 We can never prove that they don't exist, all we can do is say there's a lack of concrete evidence for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Someones gotta save SETI. Some rich bastard out there should put his money to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMI Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 If you check SETI's web page you will see that quite a lot of rich bastards, one of the co-founders of Microsoft for instance, donate to keep SETI alive...not that it is of good use though.

Loki Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hey, and I wanted to work for SETI as a "when I grow up" dream during the 2nd grade. So much for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter who does it, matters whos gonna do it first. L factor in the Drake equation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 alt_f13, fair enough, but when there exists more than 20x the amount needed to wipe the planet out (overkill in my book) surely minus the odd one or 2 wouldn`t really be all THAT BAD?

matter Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 It may not seem to be a good use, but atleast we know there's an organization out there committed to that cause, unlike NASA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt_f13 Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 The US puts 1/3 of its funding into military... hmm maybe moving some of that towards the good of humanity would be good. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Yeah right. It's better to have a military in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt_f13 Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 Youd rather have guns than education and hospitals? The US still has 3rd world poverty in the gheddos. ONE THIRD of the governments resources goes to military. That is insane and unneccesary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
