Bulgarian scientists claim contact with aliens

Work on deciphering a complex set of symbols sent to them is underway, scientists from the country's Space Research Institute said.


They claim aliens are currently answering 30 questions posed to them.



Lachezar Filipov, deputy director of the Space Research Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, confirmed the research.



He said the centre's researchers were analysing 150 crop circles from around the world, which they believe answer the questions.


"Aliens are currently all around us, and are watching us all the time," Mr Filipov told Bulgarian media.


"They are not hostile towards us, rather, they want to help us but we have not grown enough in order to establish direct contact with them."


Mr Filipov said that even the seat of the Catholic church, the Vatican, had agreed that aliens existed.


He said humans were not going to be able to establish contact with the extraterrestrials through radio waves but through the power of thought.


"The human race was certainly going to have direct contact with the aliens in the next 10 to 15 years," he said.


"Extraterrestrials are critical of the people's amoral behavior referring to the humans' interference in nature's processes."


The publication of the BAS researchers report concerning communicating with aliens comes in the midst of a controversy over the role, feasibility, and reform of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

Last week it lead to a heated debate between Bulgaria's Finance Minister, Simeon Djankov, and President Georgi Parvanov.
Discuss.

Aliens come from Southampton.

Is it April fools already?

It will be interesting to see what we learn from aliens whose idea of high-tech communications is to make a bunch of corn stalks bend over.

This bit made me laugh, what could they possibly be arguing about, that aliens confiscated their finances and that's why they're in such a sorry state?

its extremely hard to take news like this seriously and because of that nobody will respond seriously either.

so good luck with this thread.

by sowing crops strategical of cause, thats why they haven't grown enough yet, the questions should be fully grown and ready to read by the end of summer.

Hint: by "direct" it means full global human-to-alien contact. A few aliens answering questions to a few scientists from a small Eastern European country would not count. If there was direct contact, then you wouldn't need to debate whether these scientists are insane or telling the truth. The visitation of aliens would become an established fact as accepted as the Earth being a sphere.

No, its just verboten to post utter crap outside of chit chat. Whether its a ridiculous article or not isn't the point, especially given the thread creator didn't want to see their thread derailed the way it was.

I just think the closed-mindedness of UFO/ET skeptics is funny. They will never consider anything, except to ridicule the claims. It is not something outlandish from an atheistic perspective, as any species could theoretically evolve on a planet in another solar system. You don't need God, ghosts or goblins for an alien to hop on a spaceship over to Earth to visit our little world.

People aren't going to accept it until figures of authority tell them it's true. Unless they find themselves having a UFO experience, in which case....they'll become the "crazy" person they thought they were better and more intelligent than.

If you want us to take it seriously, you have to come up with some better founded article.

I think that intelligent extra-terrestrial life is very likely and I do not rule out the possibility of one or several of these civilisations observing us. However, I do not take a wacky sounding Bulgarian crop-circle researcher's word for it, cited in the Telegraph.

[Revy]

Anyway, it appears like I may have misinterpreted the article myself. I never made a big deal out of it, initially just saying "Discuss" (I never made any claims that the story was true in the slightest, I'm just annoyed at how hostile some people often get about the subject of UFOs...see how Posadas' name is treated on the left because of his belief in aliens, if anything , that is not the reason to criticize him, maybe sectarianism, and he had other wacky ideas apparently than just the aliens thing! apparently he believed that nuclear war was beneficial for ending capitalism, but nobody seems to give a damn about that belief of his. they'd rather latch on to the UFOs.).

After re-reading it, I think that even though the guy who happens to be the deputy director of Bulgaria's national space agency is claiming that aliens are visiting Earth, no actual conversations are implied, just that they are interpreting crop circle symbols to answer questions.

I think that's what they meant by the whole "direct contact" thing, they see crop circles as a form of indirect contact.

My point was more concerning UFOs and alien visitation in general. My mind is very open concerning that. But even so, this guy seems to be abusing his position to push his own theories without properly using evidence of any kind (linguistic?) to even explain how these are real messages, let alone prove that they are of extraterrestrial origin.

Rather possibly, whether the money the Bulgarian governmen spends supporting the Space Research Institute is a total waste.
