Hey everyone. I very much enjoy browsing this site to seek the truth about many things which have more questions than answers, as are all of you guys/gals Im sure. Unfortunately I have seen there are some immature people who make up silly stories that they themselves are aliens. You guys know which recent thread I'm reffering to. Anyway, I thought this site was one of the more serious ones? Am I wrong? How often is it that ppl post rediculous threads like this?
I'm sorry but it bothers me when you have ppl making up tales to deceive ppl. It creates confusion and it's counterproductive as it takes us farther from the truth. What do you guys think?

I used to think this was the most credible conspiracy site on the web. It seems lately, however, that a large number of people are making outlandish, childish, and ridiculous claims. and yes, i know the thread

I am of the opinion that those nuts might have deliberately registered to ruin and disinfo any thread of groundable, factual or scientific viability. We seem to have good, constructive discussions until some "alien human indigo" comes on and tells us the answers are in our spirits, in the stars or on a higher vibration of existence that they can see and we cant because we dont believe or some jargon like that.

Welcome to the newer, dumber ATS.


edit: also, iv come across some people who think they came to earth on dragons. DRAGONS! you know... like in that movie. This is the epitomy of i need professional help.

mabey we need an ATS psych ward

On here I can be whoever I want ~ I'm a 30ish, English guy, but if I want to be a 19 year old girl, a nuclear physicist with a limp and an eyepatch, whatever I want, I can pretend to be...

The great thing about ATS is that there are inquiring minds on here, people that ask questions, there's been some really good threads on UFOs and whether or not they're faked, people scrutinising and offering opinion on the evidence, eventually things end up debunked or not, the same goes for people that profess to be something they're not, they get asked questions and sooner or later the "truth" will out. If I wanted to pretend to be a nuclear physicist I'd get tripped up pretty quick, some people are better at these things ~ do their research etc (me I just like asking questions and debating), but sooner or later the frauds get shown-up.

I've seen some pretty heated exchanges on threads and it always seems one party are asking rational questions and asking for answers and another offers nothing other than "because I said so"... it's great when two parties that are both well informed come from different sides of an argument, that's where we should truly be able to get decent debates from ~ I've seen some really good threads conservative vs liberal, both sides well informed, yet disagreeing and many other different topics.

I'm trying to stay away from indigo-bashing, but they all seem to fall into the category of "All talk/no action/evidence", they're ultimately tedious to deal with, don't stand up under scrutiny and in my opinion, just a little whacky. Thing is, some people can come to believe they're own hype ~ just look at politicians, rock stars or actors, we live in a world that reveres celebrity and for the average Joe (or Joanne) a little taste of that can be a powerful thing... I'd like to treat them with sympathy and think they'll grow out of it, unfortunately it seems "cultish" to me all the posts I've read eventually lead me to conclude they're from damaged individuals.

Yes, there are a lot of BS'ers on here that claim to be aliens...

I never found it very humorous myself...But, thats the web for ya

If you like you could start your own website and then can control the content as you wish, keeping the nutters at bay and concentrating on the more serious per say. Hey im with you all the way but i found the best thing is to ignore it and occasionally wander in just to see how far downhill they have slid.

They thing that annoys me about these people on here that claim to be aliens, star children, light people or whatever else they call themselves is they never prove it.

If you're an alien posting on a website, good for you, but prove it.

lol, there are just some crazy nutters out there I guess and as its the internet they can be whatever or whoever they want.

Anyway, where is the thread in question? I'm curious to have a read now, lol.

The fact that they can post these outlandish claims only proves ATS is a democratic forum.anyone can chime and speak his stuff.all we can do is bypass em.simple as that.claiming to be an alien or an indigo means u can provide evidence to back these things up.if not then this place is to debate and come to conclusions after we discuss and analyse some things.nothing more nohting less

The problem as i see is, there are mainly two categories


- Those who just want to fool around with ATS and pretend to be aliens just to make noise and gain a lot of points in the meantime.

- Those whose life is so empty and feel frustrated about it, or that have failed to make their dreams come true, etc. all these people look for something else to make them feel better, escaping from their reality where they are nothing but 'losers' in their own eyes, so they kind of make up this new reality where they are the saviors, the heroes.

I guess this is a sign of our times, there are a lot of people who can't find a place on this world where they feel good and can be happy, so they create an alternative reality where their desires and dreams are true and eventually they forget it is just a fantasy.

Like if you repeat a lie a lot of times, at the end you end up believing your own lie

It seems it is increasing, there are a lot of people lately who are so desperate for an escape that will believe anything they hear as long as it promises a better life.

And then there are people who abuse this for their on benefit.

And then there are people like 'ly-on' who are so delusional they see Gods on reflections, they think they talk with Jesus, Einstein, etc, they think they are Angels reincarnated or Egyptian Gods, but they do believe this, they have gone past the limit of reality with a one way ticket.

School is out right now. A lot of the garbage will die down when the summer is over and the kiddies are back to doing whatever it is they do in school.

if this topic bothers you enough for you to start a thread, you need to chill out from the ATS homie

Well the argument is, can you prove that they're not aliens?

Theoretically, they could be sat at the computer right now, in a large pool of saline solution operating the keyboard with several tentacles high above the Earths surface, cloaked to all observers.
This theory also encompasses that they could also be sat a keyboard whilst the nurse wipes drool from the corner of their mouth and ensuring she's removed any sharp objects.

Personally, I think they're a bit 'special'
