1..as sentient beings with something similar to our own physical life form, I agree, but I also suspect there is some form of life elsewhere in our own solar system.

Add spacey music and cgi effects, to make a spacey ufo documentary, synthesizer canned effects, a button push away.
' To make the sound track sounds like a '60s psychedelic tv sitcom space travel adventure.
Mod and zany actors acting like futuristic scientists on a mission of discovery !

' Something the size of Camelback Mountain floating down Scottsdale Road.. '
Astounding !
Hair raising !
Revelation !
' OMG ! What is that ? '

.

!!
' OMG ! It's getting the nukes ! '
.
' Yeah, aliens messing with nukes, can't be good, turning off the nukes ! '
.
Surprise !
Kurt Russell was the civilian pilot that reported the lights, then, had a memory block !

I think the Aliens can mind-speak like the Sasquatch, suggesting forgetting what a human saw, like hypnotic suggestion, like.

The thrills the sentries experienced would last a lifetime, if they are all still alive.
' Sir ! There's a UFO hovering above the front gate ! What should I do ? '
' Keep calm, observe, keep the zone secure ! '
Photon weapon equipped alien spacecraft, tractor beams, signals jamming technology, time displacement, transporters, the whole archangel story.
Yeah, pretty exciting stuff, what with the war in 'Nam in full swing, B-52s taking off every five minutes.
' Private Cortez, take your finger off the trigger of your weapon, be cool, Cortez, do not fire at the spaceship ! '
Yeah, that could have gone wrong in a big way, cooler heads prevailed, calm and collected, reasoning.
' Then it took off straight up, faster than I could move my head, zot ! '
Hovering above the gate, the ground outside the fence line illuminated by the glow of the giant ufo, absolutely silent, a yellowish dark red.
Scaring the bejesus out of the sentries, literally shaking in their boots, ' Man, I gotta pee ! '
Nukes and ufos, go together well, and a hint of where to see them on a regular basis.
The Russians and Chinese too, must have had similar experiences, a ufo glowing a bright blue, above their nuke silos.

RAF Bentwaters

Yeah, obviously probing the nukes stored in the underground bunkers with their alien tentacles, molesting the icbms in their silos.
' Sir ! They're messing with the nukes ! '
' We gotta stop them ! '
' Stop them ? They're flying saucers, aliens from an advanced civilization ! We can't stop them ! '

Arthur C. Clarke's three laws:
' When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. '

How do they do it ?
It's physics, and a better understanding of gravity.
Where we're at today..


Yeah, we're a few thousand years behind in interstellar propulsion technology, obviously.

The other UFO thread, from before.

So, you see, a gas inside a torus travelling, orbiting, at a velocity near C, may exhibit effects that appear to be counter gravity.
Yes, I want a flying car, maybe the builders of the Pyramids had the technology to levitate 80 Ton granite ceiling beams.
That would then make the entire puzzle a simple problem.

Nukes, they are analyzing the nukes in the carriers, subs, silos, the better to destroy them !
