Another "Earth" like Planet found

Afghanistan hates our guts. Why are they not releasing the information to make us look bad? It would be extremely embarrassing to the US.

You do realize that there are many countries out there who hate us and would love nothing more than to go to war with us.

China - hates us, but owns half our country
Russia - tolerates us
North Korea - hates and despises our guts
France - who cares

So why doesn't North Korea release anything?

Because it's far more fun to tweak us from afar. Which is exactly what they could do by releasing proof that the US is covering up evidence of extra-terrestrials.

Since when does China or North Korea care what their citizens think?

Isn't far, far more likely that there's no evidence at all? Just pointing out the obvious.

I'm sorry to interject here, but if you call that "proof", then there is far more "proof" that aliens have visited our solar system and planet. Numerous former government officials from various nations have aknowledged that. Why should or would they lie? They have nothing to personally gain from sharing that information, and they have a lot to lose. I don't understand why we should only believe government officials when they're still employed by the government...if anything, it should be the other way around.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Ordinary claims require ordinary evidence. If I claim I went to the grocery store today, that's hardly an extraordinary claim. My providing a receipt for purchases made with my credit card is sufficient proof. It's entirely possible I sent someone to the grocery story with my credit card and they purchased the items, but you're not going to show my picture around the store and dust all the shelves and registers for my fingerprints. A receipt is sufficient proof for my statement.

The claim is that Osama is dead. We know there was a firefight at the compound he was hiding at. We know US marines landed there. The US claims Osama is dead. Afghanistan claims Osama is dead. Osama's family claims Osama is dead. Al-Qaeda claims Osama is dead. The claim is not a wild or extraordinary one. Yet it seems to have an extraordinary amount of evidence to back it. People who hate our guts agree with us on this one. That alone would seem to prove this claim.

The claim that aliens are here and that the governments of the world are all colluding to cover it up is an extraordinary claim. It claims that not only is their sentient life in the galaxy, but that that life has developed space travel technology that is good enough to get them here, that they've got here, that they've met some misfortune along the way and that they've been captured by various governments. Furthermore it supposes that governments who openly despise and detest each other secretly collaborate and are in complete agreement on a cover up. On top of that, it supposes that our government which is completely and totally incompetent at covering anything up and has proven this time and time again has somehow kept this whole thing secret. The only proof that exists for this - unverifiable testimony. That is it.

My claim of going to the store is not an extraordinary claim. Your claim of Osama being alive or aliens from another planet being here and the governments of nations around the world colluding to cover up is a very, very extraordinary claim. If you are going to make a claim that big, then you need extraordinary proof. Instead, all you have is first person testimony that is unverifiable and backed by nothing.

Osama is dead. Even our most hated enemies who have sworn to kill us in our sleep say that Osama is dead. They agree with us. But that means absolutely nothing. As Obama pointed out even if they released the photos it would not convince a single guy in a tin foil hat. They'd just claim the photos were faked. Even if the released an actual body, the tin foil hat crowd would claim that was faked as well. This is the main problem with many conspiracy theorists. There is no amount of evidence that would ever convince them that the conspiracy they've bought into is incorrect.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that the government has a long history of successfully covering things up (they don't, but let's assume that). That does not mean they're covering up anything now. People see stuff in the sky all the time that they can't explain. It's a HUGE leap to claim that what they're seeing is really an alien space ship. Just because you see something you can't identify doesn't mean it's from another planet any more than me seeing someone I can't identify means they're from another country.

If you want to prove that aliens are here or have been here, it's very simple. Produce an alien spacecraft. Produce the body of an alien. This has never ever happened.

Once again, you're making an extraordinary claim. You need more proof than just unverifiable first hand accounts. The testimony you've referenced wouldn't even hold up in a court of law, but you're claiming it as rock solid proof.

The government is horrible at covering things up. Horrible. Look at Watergate. Huge scandal that the feds have every interest in the world in covering up, but they failed. Look at Clinton and Lewinsky. Feds had every interest in the world in covering that up too and failed.

The feds are terrible at covering things up. The main reason is that these conspiracies you see would have to involve thousands if not tens of thousands of people over 4-5 decades. Not a single one of them has ever came forward with any evidence at all?
