shooting at a UFO with a laser...

I wonder if anyone has ever tried shooting at a UFO or an alien with a laser...meaning, in this case, a laser pointer (since Pentagon has not yet come out with laser weapons).

While we are awaiting for the latest fighter jets to be equipped with laser guns, laser pointers are probably all we will see being aimed at "alien" visitors.

This does sound ridiculous, but it could at least help prove "how" real the aliens or their ships are.

G. Wells Hanson talks in his book "Not Impossible!: How Our Universe May Exist Inside of a Computer", about a case where some reputable physicist claimed to have observed an object accelerate from a dead stop to a point 6 miles away and back to a dead stop, all in about 2 seconds. He says that there is no way this could be a real concrete physical object, as such an acceleration would have liquefied not just any creatures inside but likely the object itself.

i dont like such claims...it assumes the craft in question is limited in ways that one of our crafts would be limited...who knows what an alien craft is capable of...its simply ridiculous to put limits on things of which one has not the slightest idea about..

anything is possible.

No! Very bad idea!

"Well, Fribelmitz, let's show it what a real weapon can do!"

That's about 3 miles per second, or 15,840 FPS, which is about 3 times the speed of the fastest conventional rifle bullets. This would not liquify strong metals or alloys. Additionally, if you have advanced antigravity capabilities, it isn't much of a stretch to imagine that you could use the same capabilities to counteract the G-forces upon the occupants.

Also, what would shining a laser on the object accomplish? The fact that you can see it in the first place means that it is either reflecting or generating light; though I suppose it would expose a hologram or possibly a hallucination. However, if the hallucination was intentionally induced by someone or something with the capability to do so, it would probably have all the properties of a physical object as part of the hallucination. The same goes for if this universe is a computer program; which would mean that everything is part of the program, including your cat, house, or car, and shining a laser on any of those things accomplishes nothing by way of revealing that we live in "the matrix".

Hello

Well supposedly we have shot at some ufo's here's a video of a supposed attempt at shooting one down.

As you can see in the video there seems to be an alien craft then a shot then the craft zooms away and avoids the laser.
