$100,000 in funding when they receive billions upon billions each year? Yeah NASA are definetly taking this seriously. When are these people going to stop wasting our time and getting our hopes up with this rubbish and bs press conferences announcing their plans to do this and that. NASA has been at the heart of the Alien Conspiracy Theory since their inception, either they, governments and the upper echelons of society know what these things are and have been warned not to pursue finding out more or they just can't be bothered for one reason or another. I assume the former. No way we have been seeing strange things for 90 + years and not once has any government or a billionaire thought right, about time we actually track one of these things down and find out exactly what these things are. They can't be that stupid so that suggests they know, have known for a long time and just don't pursue it because it would be dangerous to do so.
When are people going to wise up and realise these things come from under the sea and are slowly but surely siphoning off liquid metals and other elements that have high conductivity to power their machines, they've been here a long time, even longer than humans themselves.
