Ok,

This guy lost me at 9:25 P.M. EDT. when he said he knew why they killed his missles. Look, like, say what? Come on man. You don't know why they are here.

I thought the show was excellent. I hope you guys have him back to talk about how some people are affected after a UFO encounter where they do not talk about the incident.

If they don't talk about it, how would he know what to say?

[Ally]

Very funny! You know what I mean.

Great episode this week! When you consider all the data with regard to UFOs and nukes it really starts to paint a picture. Fascinating stuff.

I don't get the purpose behind either disabling or enabling nuclear missles. I'm sure it happened, but why do it?
Why show off for the natives, "Hey look what we can do to your little rockets!"?

I would argue that they have scanning/sensor devices that may have had an unintended and unfortunate side effect of making the systems "appear" to be in shutdown or launch. Could be wrong, probably am, yet it begs the question of why impress the earthlings? They fly around our skies, over major cities (Phoenix for one) without a care of who sees what, So, if they don't care who sees them, why would they care what we thought?

Well theres a few problems that I see with your argument. What does 'them' not caring whether or not we see them have to do with a potential demonstration of power and technological superiority through the enabling and disabling of nuclear weapons? One has nothing to do with the other. I The argument could also be made that when they allow themselves to be seen its done on purpose with the intent, again, of demonstrating clear superiority over us.

Also, when you have the account of the disc that shots beams of light into a missile that goes tumbling into the ocean its hard to argue that all UFO related interactions are 'accidental'.

Because humans are dumb and actions speak louder than words. The point of messing with the nukes is simply to demonstrate that they CAN... at every level, active, inactive, in transport, even in flight; they can take our most dangerous toys and render them harmless. That teaches us two important lessons right off the bat:

A) You can't beat us, so don't even try.

B) We can destroy you anytime we feel like it but we haven't... yet.

Most of the time UFO/alien motives are ambiguous but in the case of nukes it seems they've dumbed the message down to a level so obvious we'd be hard pressed to miss it.

i really enjoyed the show too,
messing with our nukes is a fascinating aspect to the UFO question.
and there does seem to be a sense of "message" in the behaviour.
its a definate interaction with us, but what can we do, we cant disarm and hope the nice aliens will make sure no one drops one on us. the knowledge is there and the reality of using this process to make a big bang is never going away.

I don't think the demonstrations are trying to dictate how we treat each other, it's a message to us, for us from them about THEM... and possibly the earth but (as David mentioned) only the sense of how it relates to their needs as a resource. They're happy to let us strut about and pretend we own the place and beat each other up all day long, so long as we don't mess things up too badly but not above reminding us of our actual place in the pecking order...
