Are there any LinuxForum members in Stephenville Texas?

If you live near or in Stephenville Texas could you post a picture of one of the UFO's in the coffee lounge?? Thanks!

Hmmm.. According to Google Maps I'm 300 miles or roughly 5 hours away. I don't think that qualifies as close. I am interested in seeing a picture, though. Surely, out of all the people that supposedly saw this thing someone had a camera handy, even if it was in their phone...

Is Stephenville in Ron Paul's Congressional district??

I live about 75 miles away from Stephenville, sorta close. I agree with techieMoe, hard to believe no one got a good photo of it, if it was real.

I got into a little tiff with one of my big city cousins about this subject. I expect there will be inter-dimentional travelers before inter-planetary travelers.

A " spaceship " would need an " anti-matter " force-field around it to dissolve everything before the ship's hull was penetrated by and space dust or space debris. The ship would need " gravity propulsion " or some other self contained engine that did not require massive amounts of fuel.

How would an " earthling " stay alive for two billion years to get out into the Galaxy even if that earthing could travel at the speed of light.

Inter-dimentional travel just seems more likely.

I found a short video clip / news item: link-a-roony.

Cool Link fingal, here is another link from Fort Worth which is the nearest Big City to Stephenville.

Ok Lucky, I'll bite...

Or it'd need a Warp Drive. Or a Hyperdrive. Or summat else we don't know the workings of...

There are two issues you raise here. Firstly why does the travel have to be linear to provide linear flight. We know from Einstein's physics that odd things happen if your speed approaches the speed of light.

And the use of other dimensions to travel strikes me as a potential method to achieve inter-planetary travel. If you move through space, you move through time; travel between planets will in all likelihood require use of that dimension, i.e. it will be inter-dimensional travel.

Or are you suggesting that 2 dimensional entities will be able to visit our reality?

In truth, you're speculating about the future of space travel. Its good that you're prepared to consider the subject, but I think asking current science how this will be achieved is akin to asking Brunel or Stephenson about how the hydrogen fuel cell can be made to operate efficiently enough to provide day to day power.

What, like Britney Spears?
