Serpentime, your analysis is excellent and very eloquently stated, but...

this was absolutely priceless.

I also agree that this story, if it is not true, then is a well planned disinformation campaign. It is too intricate to be a hoax played by some
individual looking for some attention. What is the purpose, and why the diversion? There is definitely something here to be learned, and warrants our
attention.

I suspect that, if this is based on authentic information, is that the Ebens have had the capability to traverse interstellar distances for 2,000
years. They may have moved amongst planets and fought a battle with a civilization within their own solar system prior to that.
This could be what he meant. They had interplanetary capability for the last 5,000 years, and interstellar capability for 2,000. So that means the
race they eliminated was in the same star system.
I guess there system is much more habitable than ours. They have 3 planets that support life, or maybe only 2 because they moved to the planet that
the other race lived on. Or it could just be a typo, and they had interstellar capability for more than 2,000 years, and came from a different star
system.

but once they got to Serpo they uh, made up some new physics and time so that they could mess with people's heads on Earth. (sarcasm off)
Yeah, new physics, that's the ticket.
Good find HAL9000...I suggest you forward that to the consistencies page on Bill's website.
I've been thinking about submitting other questions as well, but I think I will wait for the next post and hopefully some pictures. I am still
reviewing the rest of the material.
Maybe Bill Ryan can look into it and post a reply here.

maybe dilation is moot... i don't know.
This is exactly the point I was trying to make. If FTL is possible without the time dialation, then they have some explaning to do. I am no physicist
either, but if this story is to be taken seriously, your going to have to convince those guys first.
