this story fails to pass the tests which ANY further reportage on this topic MUST pass. It offers no proof, nothing which could be objectively considered to be evidence, nothing which has any meat to it what so ever.

What if we're on other worlds, and so far there aren't any ETs? At least, not at more than a level of maybe a dog in intelligence?
How'd we get there?

I know for a fact that Humans are at this moment on Mars.
This has also been confirmed by reputable sources such as ex-governmental staff, from military to cia, and remote viewers (also with background in the governments), etc..'

I thought the Orion project was about Nuclear propulsion via atomic bomblets and pusher plates?
Think the maximum velocity of such a powered craft equates to around 5% the speed of light so it would still take around 85 years travel time to the nearest star, longer if you consider the fact that mid way the ship would need to reorientate itself to begin to slow down.
So i don't know about reaching the Ort cloud in 30 mins.

For colonisation purposes I imagine other means of FTL travel may be perfectly viable but for any kind of empire where we can communicate or share resources between different stars we need a method of travel that somewhat circumvents the time dilation effects associated with the vast distances involved. Wormholes or the Einstein Rosen Bridge seem to tick the box.
I like the Alcubierre drive concept also but it would not solve the communication problem, certainly open up our own backyard regarding colonization of our own star system all the same.
The big problem seems to be the energy requirements not to mention the need for exotic matter which we don't know how to produce or where to get.

If faster than light travel is possible, which it appears to be if any part of the UFO phenomenon is credible, which it is, then we need to think this through all the way.
