Supposed aliens landed in Mexico’s Congress but there were no saucer-shaped UFOs hovering over the historic building or bright green invaders like those seen in Hollywood films.

The specter of little green men visited Mexico City as lawmakers heard testimony Tuesday from individuals suggesting the possibility that extraterrestrials might exist. The researchers hailed from Mexico, the United States, Japan and Brazil.

The session, unprecedented in the Mexican Congress, took place two months after a similar one before the U.S. Congress in which a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer claimed his country has probably been aware of “non-human” activity since the 1930s.

    See my comment above.. It’s not pathetic - these issues deserve to be looked at seriously. It certainly seems our governments take UAP seriously.

    I’d encourage you to educate yourself and delve into the topic to gain a little more insight rather than just broadly dismissing it and handwaving it away.

      If you think that’s a serious issue, just wait until you hear about the escaped lunatic with a hook for a hand!

        Good job not responding to any of the substance of what is being discussed. If people like you were in charge, we’d never have progressed past the Earth being flat or diseases being caused by humours.

        My only takeaway from the House hearing about it a few months ago is that there doesn’t seem to be a proper channel for reporting anomalies and hazards etc. They made a pretty good case for that at least IMO. But I’m not an expert on such things so I’m sure the internet will tell me loud and clear if I’m wrong.

          I think this UFO stuff is nonsense but also agree. There should be a way for a pilot to report that they saw something weird without having their career destroyed. For many reasons.

          A. It helps to take to people instead of just having some weird experience you brood over. From the purely pragmatic point of view you don’t want pilots losing their minds if you plan to have the ability to wage war.

          B. Maybe there is something that needs to be documented. Some hazard other pilots should be aware of or some glitch in the sensors

          C. Could be something for scientists to learn about.

          D. On the one in the trillion chance that aliens decided to invade in this totally ass-backwards way I don’t want one of the last things said by a human to be "well I was worried about my career so I didnt speak up "

            FWIW if malevolent ETs invade us it’s highly unlikely we’d be able to do anything about it even with all the advanced warnings in the world.

          It’s this amazing superpower I have which I call “not falling for completely obvious bullshit” some people just call it “common sense” but I don’t think that really drives the point home.

          Of course there are idiots like you who will eat up every piece of crap they are fed. But you can safely be ignored. Bye.
