I'm a little startled even 2 people aren't throwing rotten fruit at me, especially a ufo skeptic...
I think that at some point it's wise to just give up on UFOlogy As if you don't, you get turned into a "plasma shaman" or "demonologist" and that's some scary stuff. All roads lead to that, and that alone.

Now I'd been thinking, that if our plasma civilization friends wish to be physically seen and touched, that materializing aluminum is as good a material as anything.. it's light and strong. I can't guess what the energy requirements would be to construct something like aluminium on the spot would be.. but it can't be insignificant.
Stellar nucleosynthesis
higher temperatures and pressures required than generally found on a winter's night in suffolk
Oh I know.
But there are multiple ways to skin a cat.

In physics, mass–energy equivalence is a concept formulated by Albert Einstein that explains the relationship between mass and energy. It states every mass has an energy equivalent and vice versa—expressed using the formula
E = mc2
where E is the energy of a physical system, m is the mass of the system, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum (about 3×108 m/s). In words, energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. Because the speed of light is a very large number in everyday units, the formula implies that any small amount of matter contains a very large amount of energy.
Perhaps by manipulating the Biggs field correctly you can siphon off the strong nuclear force or something....just another hypothetical possibility.

Well that's the thing.
If there are "dark matter dark energy civilizations" in the 96% of the Universe we can barely detect yet...say Maybe primordial black holes or something like that is a major component....then what we view as "massive amounts of energy" might be an insignificant drop in the bucket not worth mentioning.
That's one easy example.
Perhaps by manipulating the Higgs field correctly you can siphon off the strong nuclear force or something....just another hypothetical possibility.
In other words there may be many ways to skin the same cat (manipulate normal matter and energy in ways we can barely imagine).

Yup. You must have replied right as I corrected that typo.

OT: Red pill or the blue pill?
Pike found that the dripping molten metal effect that Halt reported was a discharge effect that had been reported as far back as the 1920s. This was reproduced using charged plates which looked as if water was running off them when in fact it was an illusion caused by the electric charges. Reports of plasma balls have been seen popping out of the ground for centuries and sightings of airborne blue spheres dated back to the 1880s in journals like Nature.

My point is that "large energy requirements" are totally subjective. It's hard to get more basic than that.
