It is argued that extra-terrestrials (ET) might regard sending physical probes to our own Solar System as a more efficient means for sending large amounts of information to Earth. Probes are more efficient in terms of energy and time expenditures; may solve for the vexing problem of Drake's L factor term, namely, that the civilization wishing to send information may not coexist temporally with the intended recipient; and they alleviate ET's reasonable...

John Michael Godier's Event HorizonWhy Congress will Hold More UAP Hearings w/ Congressman Raja KrishnamoorthiHistory repeats itself. The idea that this has all happened before, and will happen again is particularly relevant in the field of UAP. The recent hearings in Congress on the UFO/UAP issue are not the first, 50 years ago other such hearings were held, though nothing came of them. But let me tell you a tale of two US senators, one a Republican and one a Democrat. One long ago, the other more recent. The first was one Senator Barry Goldwater, who was a long-time Republican senator from Arizona and prominent presidential candidate.
