UFO

Time to debunk the extra-terrestrial hypothesis?

Yes.
Let's use our imaginations and consider non-ET explanations for this phenomenon.

1. UFOs are an aerial plasma phenomenon similar to ball lightning. This explains why they appear to follow aircraft and apparently interfere with electronic devices.

2. UFO phenomena are a result of individuals witnessing top-secret military technology. By deliberately associating the phenomenon with aliens, the government can discredit any witnesses and keep any technology it wishes out of the public domain. They could even have access to free energy but believe this would disrupt the economy if it were ever revealed. By promoting the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis, the government and the corporations that support it stay in power at everyone else's expense. Presumably this is a CIA-style psychological operations programme.

3. UFOs are intelligent entities in of themselves. The abduction phenomena could be a kind of vision by the abductee, meant as a message for humankind as a whole and not to be taken literally.

4. An advanced species of hominid existed on earth in the distant past. It/They either went extinct or simply left the planet but left some of their technology behind.

5. Another human or near-human species (such as the Denisovans) developed a highly advanced civilisation in earth's past. They are still around but have made, and continue to make, great efforts to hide any evidence of their existence from mankind. Perhaps they even abduct people to do just this, if these individuals carry evidence in their DNA.

Westeros 2

One thing which bothers me about ASOIAF/GOT  is the height of the Wall and the fact that people have been able to cross over it. Not just stone-age Wildlings but that the (supposedly under-manned and under-funded) Night’s Watch were not only able to get to the top of the Wall but actually place defences on the top!  The Wall is actually so high that people would get blown off by the wind on a regular basis! It is established in the books that the Wall (which is 700 feet high and 300 miles long) protects itself, so perhaps this is more of a plot hole. OK, so let's imagine that the Wall is, actually (more like) 300 feet high and 150 miles long, while some parts of it have fallen down. At these parts the Night's Watch have their fortifications. Specifically Castle Black, Mole's Fort which basically contains a trebuchet and Eastwatch, where the Wall is a consistent 200 feet high and extends 60 feet into the Narrow Sea  There are a number of abandoned castles on the W...

Fan Theories Eight

Q both created and manipulated the Borg. They/He did this in order to prevent the version of the Federation in the Mirror Mirror  universe from coming to power. Without the Borg , the events of Star Trek:First Contact  would never have happened and the United Federation of Planets would become the Terran Empire. The Borg also made an alliance between long-time Federation adversaries the Romulan Star Empire. This allowed the Borg to invade Federation space by passing through Romulan space (the first time round) and is the reason for the Enterprise-E being ordered to the Romulan border  in  Star Trek:First Contact . Elder Romulan politicians and officers who opposed the alliance were ousted (and probably assimilated) in a coup, allowing ambitious officers like Sela to come to the fore. It makes a weird kind of sense for the Romulans to ally with the Borg, if only to keep the Federation on its toes. This means t...

Fan theories 18

Hi there, this is Elench-San and I have more Dragon Ball theories! There is a lot about the franchise that is either contradictory or shouldn't be taken too seriously. For example the anime often shows a realistic globe of the Earth or a view from space with identifiable continents.  But a map of the "Dragon World" is slightly askew.  This perhaps lends to two completely bonkers theories: Dragon World is basically Arda  (as in Middle Earth, Hobbits and shit) or Planetos (as in Wars of the Roses, continent-sized empires, dragons!) OK maybe not, but one can actually connect Toriyama's world with Tolkien's. Both have dragons, gods, werewolves and vampires as well as collectible jewels!  The map often given is reminiscent of that of "Planetos".  The reason a fantasy world maybe set in the distant past of Earth is to do with those titular dragon balls.  This is also why the world is also so apparently depopulated.  ...
