Even me, self-proclaimed enjoyer of all things sci-fi / aliens / coast to coast etc find Ancient Aliens remarkably................ unbelievable.

Yes. The one good thing they have is 10 minutes of nice video of interesting sites in each episode. The rest, bleh.

As for those wishing they could see a UFO or meet an alien, be careful what you wish for. None of the people you see who claimed to have met an alien seem better off for it.

They ain't met me yet though, lol....

There have been some good documented cases of UFOs from Airline pilots. One was a Japanese 747 flight heading over Alaska to the mainland, 1980's. ATC also spotted to UFO on radar and it followed the airliner for some time then vanished. Anyone who saw a Stealth, before word got out of what those planes look like, could have mistaken that for a UFO. There is some good stuff to stream on History.

Are you aware of the Drake Equation ?

Not one of his better albums

Quote:The primetime lineup for the History Channel includes the show Ancient Aliens, a show which delves into the conspiracy theories behind aliens, while CNN’s lineup features hosts Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo. The History Channel had 1.06 million viewers in primetime this week.

CNN finished in a distant seventh place, attracting 992,000 average viewers and falling behind HGTV, USA, the History Channel, and TBS in the weekly ratings.

LASTLY - Trump is said to be a bit of a UFO nut himself, or so I have read over the years. Is said to be an occasional listener to C2C AM.

Coast To Coast... that's it! Man, the past few days I've been trying to think of the name. It escaped me.

FWIW, when the Old Big East was reforming into what we now call the American and it looked like we were trying to get Boise, SDSU, etc... in with us, the name I suggested was the Coast to Coast Conference -or- C2C for short.

C2C. Get it ? Sea to Sea. Either went over a lot of peoples heads or some of the jerk UCF fans on "another site" called me a dork for suggesting it b/c it didn't come from someone in their stupid, silly little clique.

Last year NASA scientists said they would find evidence of alien life within the next decade.
Now physicists are actually saying out loud that the FRBs we are just now detecting could possibly be a warp drive firing up.
Times are changing.
FWIW I to have seen an UAV. Flying over Baltimore in the broad daylight some years ago a grey cylinder about what I would guess being the size of a 55 gallon drum just whizzes by as I’m looking out of the widow. It was maybe 50 to 75 yards from the plane. It was an amazing sight.
