You quoted your response from me. Can you edit that? It looks like it was me saying it. 😁

Ok...just tried to fix it and deleted it...I'm a bit technically challenged so I might have made things worse...sorry if I did and about the mix up.

@martin-w Did you see the story circulating in the news the other day about the guy in Las Vegas who called 911 about seeing a bright light falling from the sky then two 8-10’ tall aliens in his backyard. Cops came and one of cops got the falling light on either his dash cam or chest cam, but no video of the aliens.

Now that was weird one. A police body cam saw something coming down looked like space debris or a meteor or something to me. A few minutes later, the family rang the police and said there were 8 foot tall aliens in their back yard and a space ship. 😁 The police say they believe them that there was something in their yard.

So these people who saw the aliens in their backyard and had cellphones in their hands calling the police, didn't take any pics with their phone cameras??  I call horse-hockey on this!  🐎 💩

Couldn't a baseball sized meteorite leave a trail like that and then embed itself in the back garden? Nobody would be able to locate it in the darkness, especially when they were talking about "landing" and were probably looking for wreckage of something larger.

It was Bigfoot and he has special powers that makes cameras not work.

As do I. Did the "aliens" simply wad their crashed vehicle into a small ball and stuff it into their pocket(s)?

Surely something at that speed would have left at least a crater where it hit the lawn?

That meteor was nowhere near the observer, but I guess it could possibly have come down in someone's back garden in Canada....

It supposedly landed in the back garden of the folks who saw the aliens. That's where the police conducted a search. The video was taken from a few miles away.

If anything lands in my back garden, I'm keeping it.

The guy on the phone describing the "encounter" sounded absolutely terrified! :rolleyes::laugh:

I don't know if this was mentioned already but, for the record, David Grusch said in the Le Parisien interview that he has a degree in physics.

Fusion may be the answer.

The forces involved in bending space time are not within the capabilities of energy transfer of Fusion.  Fusion certainly has other practical advantages, but time travel is not one of them.
