UFO science key to halting climate change: former Canadian defense minister

Quote:

OTTAWA (AFP) - A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday.

"I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet," Paul Hellyer, 83, told the Ottawa Citizen.

Alien spacecrafts would have traveled vast distances to reach Earth, and so must be equipped with advanced propulsion systems or used exceptional fuels, he told the newspaper.

Such alien technologies could offer humanity alternatives to fossil fuels, he said, pointing to the enigmatic 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico -- which has become a shrine for UFO believers -- as an example of alien contact.

"We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough," he said.

Hellyer became defense minister in former prime minister Lester Pearson's cabinet in 1963, and oversaw the controversial integration and unification of Canada's army, air force and navy into the Canadian Forces.

He shocked Canadians in September 2005 by announcing he once saw a UFO.

*EDIT* got the ministries wrong in the thread title. images/smilies/wink.gif

He just wants to believe. Cut him some slack.

Which reminds me of: Wasn't the Venezuelan defense minister saying something to the similar effect just recently. Conspiracy anyone?

Look....I was in bed once and what I believe looked like an alien came into my room, climbed on top of me and pinned me down (and then kinda strangled me). It happened like twice actually, really freaked me out.

I don't see anything wrong with what he believes. It's a really, really freaking big universe. Something's gotta be out there.

Nice pic Blind_Io. I laughed.

The most logical explanation for that picture is that it's of a UFO owned by flamboyantly gay aliens

that... or it's just a pink a frisbee.

After all, they do get their milk in bags.

MAD MAD CANADA!

Bag milk is awesome, I loved using the little snippet tool to cut the bag.

Now i'm straight up organic milk, which is delicious. I've actually given it to friends without telling them anything, and they'd taste it and tell me how good it was....and then i'd explain the whole organic milk thing, and now that's all they drink also.

this is the brand I drink...

...Or the other aliens played a joke on them to get them shot in Alabama.

Organic milk is quite a lot better, in my personal experience.

And it makes sure the cows are happy!

Damned cows, every time I work at a farm, they eat my t-shirt. images/smilies/mad.gif

Wait, is this a euphemism?

How about this photo:
This is the YB-49 Flying wing

http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/7274/yb49capitolgg2.jpg

The YB-49 was the successor to the YB-35 flying wing - a piston engine model that first flew in 1947. Imagine - monowing fighters were still fairly new. Everyone knew that planes had a tube in the middle with wings and a tail and a spinning prop in the front. Anything else was inconceivable to the layperson. Is it any wonder that UFO sightings skyrocketed in the post war years when new aircraft designs and jet technology were being tested.

Not for anyone that ever flew over Germany on either side in the period 44-45. images/smilies/tease.gif

Northrop began designing and flying flying wings before the Horten Ho 229 even flew.

I get that sometimes. It's like my mind wakes up and my body is still sound asleep. Makes me feel like I'm trapped in my own body. Really weird stuff!
