You satisfied trolling or could you possibly add to the topic!? Your negative trolling reputation is intact!

A little more patience and a little less reflexive negativity might serve us. We can assess whatever is provided when it is, on its own merits.

If people aren't patient and negative that is because Toms doing.
If what DeLonge says is true, he does NOT set the timeline of announcements.
made with George Knaap, who seems to think DeLonge's announcements will be real.

I for one think we (ATS) are being way harsh (and a little stupid in some cases)... That said, I get it, there is nothing new here in the realm of "show me aliens now".
Why anyone thought there would be is beyond me, but I can see how the uninitiated could twist the hype into that. That is/was a mistake on both sides IMO.
What we do have here for the first time, in history, is a gaggle of "elite managers of science and technology" who have openly declared they will pursue UFO reports without the typical prejudice or government mandated cover up, IF they have the funding to do so.
That's BIG.
How BIG? I don't know, but I do know it's a helluva lot bigger than anything we've had yet. Don't invest if you can't or don't want to, they never said that was mandatory, nor did they say you had to invest to be in the know of what, if anything, they discover.
Comparing this to Greer is just ludicrous. Greer had zero future research set up and zero committed experts on board to do research. The fact they've set up an organization staffed with the "elite" minds of the planet is a big deal in and of itself. It may ultimately generate zero in the way of actual produce, *especially if they fail to generate revenue*, but it's still a big step beyond what's come before it.
Don't let the crowd funding throw you, this stuff costs millions a week when you engage with national labs and elite scientists. Trust me on this, I know first hand, we (ATS) tried to create something just like this way back in 2007. The lack of huge money was what killed our efforts.
I ask you this, where would you prefer the money come from? The governments who have kept secrets? Corporations who would seek to keep them even more so they could churn out patented products??
Just to clear up any potential B.S. from my statement above upfront, ATS has ZERO to gain from this and has ZERO financial interest, or connections to this.
The preceding is my personal 35 years experience in this field's perspective on this new outfit. I've been wrong before and will be wrong again but I am truly rooting for these guys.

We get it. You don't believe him. How many times do you want to state that!?
Just mimicking the position DeLonge is faking it is not contributing to the thread. It's derailing it.
We're all here to keep an open mind, aren't we
let this play out before you act as judge, jury and executioner.
And that’s the fact that there are now dozens of governments who have confirmed the existence of UFOs.
i am very doubtful of all this but i will hold my judgment until it is clear what is going on, i give him 6 months to make good on his statements
