If there are aliens, what will they look like?

This seems to fit in with the discussion. Coincidence? Or is an alien mind manipulating our thoughts? I'll let you decide.

Any good prop department could build one of those.

More than likely.

It's all explained by relative density. Things float if lighter than air. Things fall if heavier than the medium (air, water).

Why fall? Why not in some other arbitrary direction?What is the driver that chooses that particular vector?

By the exhibit you posted, it seems that your claim is that anti-buoyancy makes the bolt want to move downward.

Now wouldn't it be something...

IF.. the aliens had mastered gravity, bent it to their will, and use it to get around .??

That would explain the apparent lack of any effect of inertia on some UFOs, wouldn't it?

We know by observation that lighter things float and heavier things fall or sink.

We know by observation that lighter things float and heavier things fall or sink.

That observation has it's flaws.

A sheet of steel, placed on the surface of water. (steel is "less light" than water, by most observations.

the steel falls or sinks.

Same piece of steel. but with all it's edges folded up and welded tight. Place that (correctly) on the water surface, and it "floats". Same steel, same water, different observation.

A fault in the logic...
