It's no secret to the Roswell enthusiasts that our government (and other governments) have benefited from alien technology over the years. More specifically, over the last 50-odd years.

I mean, is it "just by accident" that George de Mestral created velcro a year after the Roswell incident. What other claims does this "great inventor" have to his name? De Mestral was just the vehicle to bring this new device to our public. How about how tubes were commonly used, so much to the point that they were the technological glass cieling? The same year as Roswell, the transistor comes along to replace it.

I know a lot of you have other examples of borrowed alien technologies.

Let's hear em.

The Disco ball.

You laugh, perhaps, but think about it. A perfect sphere capable of taking a small beam of light and filling a room of nearly infinite capacity with light...does that sound like a human invention to you?

So...they were giving us crap before the crash?????:eek:

Bill Gates is an Alien.
Taking over the world by sucking our souls out through the computer monitor.

-Æ (Serious)

Those durn talky-boxes everyone has in their houses and automobiles now musta come from them space-critters, theys just a-squawkin' away about rock-n-roll this, disco that, and something about wrappings that might could be an e-gyptian thing anyhow.
Once we sneaked up on one of them evil boxes when it were all peaceful and quiet, just a hummin to itself, and tried to look-see inside that there funny machine to spy on them little musician people inside it, but they musta heard us comin' and used one of them there lightnin' death-rays cause 'ol Zeke got throwed plumb 'cross the room when he touched its tail on the back with his pocket knife and liked to durn-near drool all over hisself. I'm gonna git my shotgun, next time, teach them space-critters to fool with us...

very funny griff. Good point though. Oh and on a velcro note: He says that he took his inspiration from sticker bushes with hooked spines, doesn't sound implausable to me.

it could or could not have happened that way.

then again, i may or may not believe it.







hmmmm (walking out on stage....)

i demand that i am mari blu

all right! i am mari blu and that is not a demand, that is a solid fact! what i demand is solid facts!

i don't demand solid facts! what i demand is the total absence of solid facts. i demand that i may or not be mari blu!

i....am a philosopher....

(taking a bow) that has been my latest one woman show and excerpt from the book "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. it should really be done with two people, so the script has been altered a bit to accomodate only one actress.

those of you who have read it (the book) will understand... and those of you who have not...i demand that you may or may not understand! and that it may or may not have been my intention. and that i may or may not be mari blu!

Thanks, Jay13, glad somebody here took that in the spirit it was intended. Cockleburs to you, too.
mari blu, I've gotten considerable mileage from that series of books, probably read them at least 42 times. Definitely one of the all-time classics. I suspect, however, that Douglas Adams is really Ford Prefect in disguise. Are you Trillian?

Hey, I was being serious. I honestly do think that the disco ball was an invention either created or inspired by something not of this world.

And Mari, those books are wonderful (Griff, that was a nice touch with 42).

I need to read them again, I don't remember too much about the series.

See what you've done Redfield? You've caused the abductees implants to activate and cause them to start speaking a bunch of mumbo jumbo...:D How's that for Alien technology??


Seriously I've heard that Fiber optics are an Alien technology along with a few others I can't remember right now..

And there's always this (www.alientechnology.com) website...:p
