There is absolutely no proof there are any other beings in the universe except us, there is no proof there are any other planets with life on them. So yes it’s quite safe to say we are the most advanced beings in the universe for the time being.
In fact, we have little proof that our current civilization is the most advanced it’s ever been. We cannot reverse engineer many ancient buildings and building techniques. We don’t know what tools they used etc.
So how could we ever reverse engineer alien technology, even if we had access to it? Aren’t we like ants to them?
Your comparison not mine. But then you guys turn around and claim many modern tech comes from reverse engineering alien tech? It makes no logical sense.
Don’t put words in my mouth and generalize statements I did not make as you reference in the last paragraph.
The preponderance of actual sightings, imaging and testimony from very knowledgeable individuals is indisputable.
To deny their statements by calling for hard evidence to me, is that of a person with a closed mind. With that type of attitude, we would never discover anything or seek to discover anything, because we were determined ahead of time there’s no evidence.
There is evidence, the evidence is the thoughts of experts in the field, navy ships with sophisticated equipment, trained Air Force pilots, satellite imaging and more.
Then we have people in the intelligence community, who risk having their lives, destroyed, trying to expose it.
Above all else we have commercial airline pilots, we have ordinary citizens on the ground, including some in this very forum.
And to actually deny that mankind is not at its most advanced in history is just plain silly. except maybe lifeforms that were here before us.
Anyway, obviously, we are at the ends of the debate, but there’s no sense in continuing on since our positions are clear. I’d like this thread to stay open, so there’s no sense in repeating further.
