UFO Sightings on the Decline

Written by The Sarcasmist on March 11, 2010 - Comments (39)

Where are the UFOs?

In a new study released by a group of scientists and philosophers discusses the noticeable drop in UFO sightings over the past decade. The paper brings up very interesting questions about the reason an advanced civilization would stop, or at least reduce, visits to a relatively primitive planet like the Earth.

The main contention of the paper is that after thousands of years of visiting our planet, the intergalactic visitors have just about given up on earthlings, believing that we never going to advance beyond our vile, selfish, and vindictive ways.

“It was just a matter of time before extraterrestrial civilizations looking to establish contact realized that Humans, as a species, are not fit for integration into the civilized universe.”, said Phil O. Sophia, PhD.

Reporting on the study, a Wolf News anchor closed the segment by saying…

“If those socialist aliens don’t want to establish political and economic ties with our planet, and don’t agree with the way we do things, then we should bomb them into realizing how wrong they are!”

  1. The Anchor from Wolf new is a total douchebag yet he represents the common American retard sooou that sums it all up.

    • So, the word sarcasm means WHAT in your world?

    • The Anchorman is an idiot. If we bomb them it would be on our planet. not theirs. Which harms our Atmosphere not theirs. plus think about Our technology compared to theirs. If we launched a bomb I’m sure they could blow up earth without a sweat….What a nazi anchorman…

  2. Awesome…
    and somewhat humiliating…
    *Thumbs Up*

    Lol
    I love how they speak as if it is a certainty that there have been intelligent visitors to our planet.

    I guess hypotheticals are fine.

  4. Or might it just be that with the advent of “internet everywhere” the idiots are turning to Wikipedia first and the media later….?

  5. Might be a connection: Drop in alien sightings and the ubiquitousness of camera phones.

    cant say i disagree with this,looking at the world today i’d not want contact with us,we as a species arent fit to be a member of the universe….

    do i beleave we’ve been visited,damn right i do,theres several billion stars(suns to the ignorant) in the universe,it would be blind and short sighted of us to think we’re the only ones out there

    • I am with you,I have been saying that for years and people role there eyes or shake there head like I’m nutts.

    • the people that think your nuts are half the problem with the world,they still think the universe revolves around earth,theyre blind nad narrow minded to the larger picture,we’ve barely explored our back water solar system in one of countless galaxies,hopefully in a few hundred yrs humans will have pulled theyre heads out the sand and stopped killing each other,not that i hold out much hope of it,thank fully i’ve only 40 odds yrs left then i can be done with the whole issue of being part of the human race……..

    • Look. I completely agree that it’s highly unlikely that we are the only life in the Universe. However, the possibility of us growing sentient out of 4.3 billion years of evolution is absolutely slim to nil. So maybe out of the couple million planets that could support life, a few did evolve sentient beings. They would still have to evolve many many many millenia beyond us humans, to be able to have sustainable propulsion which has a fuel that they would be in no danger of running out of.
      Furthermore, the people there would have to be foolhardy enough to attempt to find other worlds with sentient life, which would require them going at the maximum speed. Let’s assume that they, by some fantastic modern technology that we are thousands if not tens of thousands of years from, can go nearly light speed (the highest possible speed in the Universe; nothing can go faster than it, natural or sentient-made). It would STILL take them millions and millions of years to get from their planet to ours. Now, I love Star Trek and Futurama as much as the next person. But look at the facts. The odds are several quadrillion to one that any such event would ever take place, and that it would take place more than once is absolutely mind-boggling.
      No species worthy of being called sentient would purposely visit Earth, abduct some hick from Alabama, probe him, and then send him down without even erasing his mind. I mean, I wouldn’t do that. Would you? Would you really travel for millions of years-whether in cryogenesis or taking along several families and having several generations-just to spend an hour with a being from another planet and then leave without so much as a way to contact each other?
      And finally, we will never, ever stop killing each other. It is in our blood. Humanity is based on competition, on greed, on stupidity. I try my hardest to avoid confrontation, at least outside of verbal arguments. But I am unique, you are unique, we are all unique. A lot of people enjoy violence. Like everyone who watches football, boxing, wrestling, lacrosse, hockey, or rugby. Until we move past all of this, until we stop looking at physical confrontation as a good thing, a way to get something–money, power, women–we are always going to be at war with each other. And I, for one, predict that that day will never come.

    • Alex, you’re failing to account for the dark ages; Science during those times (a period spanning hundreds of years) was considered heresy and witchcraft. If you look at how quickly technology has progressed over just the last 20 years (and assuming that our knowledge and technology continue to progress at the rate that they have been) then it isn’t hard to imagine that if we hadn’t gone through the dark ages, those several hundred years of potential scientific advancement could have yielded technology and revisions of scientific theories that we, currently, wouldn’t even consider possible.
      If another sentient and intelligent race on another planet didn’t go through something like the dark ages, they very well could be a space-faring race with modes of travel allowing them to circumvent the laws of physics that we think are immutable.

    • Well Brian .. one can either look for the bad in people or the good in people. I find many, many, MANY really good people out there that are warm and caring and will bend over backwards to help someone. I guess if aliens are as nonobjective in matters as some Earthlings are, and only pay attention to the minority of ‘bad’ behaviors, then they might come to the conclusions we aren’t worth saving. Or, as some do, consider people with an opinion different from there opinion as ‘bad’ or ‘evil’, then they just might get very depressed.

      I would hope a species able to travel billions of miles would have gotten passed those petty types of behaviors and be more objective in their studies. They they just might look around at all of the good things people do for one another and realize that the few bad people may consume a lot of attention, but they don’t really amount to much.

  7. It’s simple really. There’s less UFO sightings because the morons are all at home watching the 526.34 TV channels, or talking smack to each other over X-Box Live over fictional ass-whoopin’s, instead of getting off their fat butts & going outside.

  8. The real UFO research continues. The media has no idea of the magnitude of truly unexplained UFO sightings. I suggest you read the following books to start:
    1- The UFO Experience: Dr. J. Allen Hynek
    2- UFOs and Science: Stanton Friedman
    3-Dimensions: Dr. Jaques Vallee

  9. Beam me up Scotty, there’s no intelligent life down here :)

    Maybe the ETs craft are Cloaked/Socialist Aliens ,I love that!
