You're familiar with Mirage men I'll assume. How can you be sure you're not being used by earthly PTB to further obfuscate what is really a purely terrestrial agenda? Short of getting face to face with an ET or riding around the solar system on a FTL craft, isn't it second-hand subjective info?

I'm not doubting you're relaying what you believe to be the truth. But I am saying the possibility exists you're being used. Do you know that to not be the case? (Bear in mind, some of us have been interested in Fortean subjects since the '60s and have seen or heard about every imaginable theory only to have them evaporate under time and scrutiny).

Is there any connection that you've been advised of between alien interaction and Bigfoot, ghosts, demons and other phenomena thought of as 'supernatural' or 'paranormal'?

I would like to ask the same questions as above (from page 9)
Thank you

Welcome to ATS. Thanks for joining us and taking the time to answer questions. I see there are 14 pages here so far. Your head must be spinning from all the questions. I'm glad that people were civil for the most part.

I was hoping to be able to join in on the fun but I had some things to take care of. You answered all the questions I was going to ask anyway.

I hope you keep coming back here. There's plenty to keep you entertained and educated. We could also use another brilliant mind here.

Are they asking us to Build spaceships for them?

i would be utterly devasted if we were the best this universe has to offer, cause 80% of the people i see are not right in the head. i mean flat earth? and i thought i was mental for thinking archons were possible....

a reply to: TomDeLonge

Do you have an opinion on the possibility of laser holograph communication attempts, as performed by the otherworlders on certain earthlings in the recent decades...and if true ---- could mental telepathy be in the mix?

What I'm getting at: If the otherworlders have contacted (due to a close encounter of the third kind) a certain earthling before...could it be possible for the others to reacquire that earthling's location by mental telepathy and be in a position to physically seek him out again?

Cheers,

Erno

All it would take is one powerful xenophobic race sending out terminator bracewell probes to wipe out most intelligent life in the 4% of the Universe which is regular matter and energy. Just an example. And that could have completed a billion years ago. Or maybe the "96%" is of a similar temperment.

Just saying that we could EASILY be awfully lonely in this vast Universe.

Just look what humans are doing to Earth. And we are a "0" civilization in terms of energy output. Imagine the harm we'd do if higher up the food chain.

1. This guy claims to have been "told" some UFO stuff, so immediately all the posters here ask questions about every known UFO story there is, as well as questions about the nature of the universe. My question about that is, "What is the limit of your knowledge?" Are you now suddenly a UFO expert who makes Isaac Koi seem like a dabbler in UFO phenomenon?

Pretty sure he said he asked questions, some were answered, some were not.

That he believed those he asked the questions of were telling the truth.

I don't see where he's claimed anything else.

Which is why I said: "And one of them [the points] has nothing to do with the OP himself:" My question was more directed at posters themselves, who have asked wide-ranging questions over the entire matter of UFOs plus the nature of the universe. I'm thinking that one person, even though he has been told stuff, can't possibly be an expert on the entire phenomenon, so I'm asking what the limits of his knowledge are in hope of questioners being able to narrow their queries to what he is realistically able to answer and not expect him to wax eloquent on the entire philosophy of humanity and the kitchen sink, too.

Hello Tom.

Firstly can I say that, until I listened to your recent interview with George Knapp on C2C, I had never heard of you. I don't follow celebrity culture, so my opinion of you isn't clouded by hero worship of any form.

As much as I'd like to believe what you've spoken about and take it as fact, my gut instinct is that it's all one big sci-fi marketing scam/project for your own profit, at the expense of your potential fan base.

'From the imagination of' doesn't instil much faith personally.

My question to you then is this:

Can you give us a single piece of credible evidence right here, right now, that would make your 'story' seem believable, rather than just a figment of someone's very vivid imagination?

I ask that with all due respect which, in return, you should afford us in the hope of believing such claims.

Many thanks in advance.

Due to the obvious nature of reptiles being a cold blooded species. Highly intelligent reptilian alien humanoid species could not be possible in my opinion --- Yet a warm blooded dinosauroid humanoid species [similar too our own former dinosaurs] could have evolved on other star systems --- long enough to achieve interstellar travel.

Question: Could the possible existence of dinosauroids in our universe...be similar in appearance to the Grays as we call them --- as in three fingers on each hand and three toed feet?

Hey Tom!

Any chance of an audio book version of Sekret Machines? Ideally read by you or AJ Hartley. I always love hearing books or stories being read by the people who wrote them, thought up some of the ideas or experienced it in some ways.

Thanks

Hello Tom,




What are you feelings about Dr. Steven Greer and his CSETI program? Your book meshes well with his narrative, have you guys been collaborating?

If you think 80% of people are not right in the head, I suggest 2 things. Either get off your high horse or meet/hang out with better people. 80% is a ridiculous number.

Also..Most people believe we are not alone in the universe. That doesn't mean they are visiting us and abducting people etc...

Hey Tom a small axe to grind in A-minor.. for ease of the eyeballs and coherent replies.... When you reply to someone hit the quote button of the person you are replying to.. You will see their response come up and you just type your answer to them after their quote.. That saves us from going back and trying to find the original question..

I too heard you on the C2C interview and enjoyed what you had to say....especially about those who are doing everything they can to protect earth... Hope the movie gets made and your books are successful..

Alternatively, you can just click on the name of the other user in the reply!

Excellent feature that was implemented by ATS, reducing thread clutter while increasing coherency.

I might "hate" you sometimes, but well said. ATS is not Velcro, we're the f'n Teflon of conspiracies. Non-stick until proven. Equal energy should be invested into both respecting and vetting the one(s) who dare ask us to "ask them anything."

Hello.

I have a question about your approach. Are you an empiricist? By that I mean, with regard to matters pertaining to the physical world, like whether or not a given premise is true, do you insist on seeing the evidence yourself, experiencing a thing for yourself in order to know its truth, or do you take the view that a thing can be known by other means as valid as having touched them, heard them, seen them for yourself?

I suppose what I am asking is, is there any science in your methodology?

If i am remembering right Corso said the UFO that crashed at Roswell was a time machine? Tom said Corso notes are accurate.

Which is it are they aliens from another planet or time travelers? Tom said they were good and bad aliens coming here and he said nothing about time travelers.

Tom if you believe in the information i ask you this. Insiders surely would have revealed something to you, we can't find on the web? Truly it would be more believable if you told us something new and got us thinking.

Hi Tom I like to know if you think UFO disclosure will happed in 2016.

your right 80% is a ridiculous number its more like 100%. i mean define right in the head, you can take whatever you want from that comment but i was being generous with saying 20% are right in the head. im not one of them thats for sure. i dont ride horses mate i drive a saab,93
