I watched some of the Area 51 video and all of the Youtube NPC conference. Sorry to say it was pretty much a conference of very sincere crackpots. Some seemingly had credentials, but really listening closely to what they had to say could not be construed as 'proof' of Extra Terrestrial interventions.

A couple of them had some pretty good stories about lights in the sky. That's about it. Most were just in there screaming conspiracy. The first guest speaker who claimed video and documentation shook a tape and a stack of papers around, but never played the tape? Why? He said himself he thought at the time it was an airforce figher plane. He couldn't tell the difference between an airplane and something that would be a hundred thousand times more advanced? His whole bitch was that the Gov. told him to shut the fuck up about UFOs. <--(plenty of good reasons for that besides their being real)

Then there was the whole 'proof' business. So they came up with a whole lot of flakes who would swear before Congress that they saw a light in the sky, saw a blip on radar, or that someone took a document from them, or told them to shut up. Sorry, but that's not proof. Neither was their 'anti-gravity' engine design without scientific verification. Why not have a few Cornell professors up there with them saying "yes, this tech. is real and this would work?" Because all Scientists and Academics are in on the 'Conspiracy'?

The most absurd statement though, was that at least two Presidents and Congress were denied access to this information by the CIA and the Pentagon. (bet they got that idea from Independence Day) Both the President and Congress could drag the head of any agency in and fire their ass or have them prosecuted if they didn't cooperate. (but that just means the 'Illuminati' are all powerful, right?)

But the one dead giveaway that strips all their credibility is that they marched in there claiming they had absolute proof of Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence when they didn't. It doesn't matter what degrees or former positions they held, if they claim absolute proof they need to put the fuckin' raygun or working model of the anti-gravity device on the table or shut the fuck up. (BYU jumped the gun and claimed they discovered Cold Fusion a couple years back but it turned out to be bullshit--that's a lot of Ph.ds with fancy degrees that had to eat crow when the data was scrutinized). A credible source wouldn't claim proof without having it. And a credible source is self-critical. (watch how SETI works-they never make claims, and wouldn't without hard facts. They'll say from time to time 'this was interesting but unrepeatable and therefore unsubstanciated)

Anyway, the best arguments for E.T. are the probabilities. Mathematically it would be very improbable that there is no other life in the Universe. But it's also just as improbable that they've visited Earth.--at least improbable for flying saucer-type aliens that can travel faster than the speed of light, but are too stupid to keep from being detected or crashing.

If you're interested in ET investigations with at least a shred of credibility, check out SETI. They work hard to keep it legit and put as much distance between themselves and the paranoid cults as they can.
