UFO's in general... What is there not to believe?

"Sir, there is a flying object... We can't identity it"

"You fucking liar, you CAN identify it. You know EXACTLY what it fucking is, you're just not fucking telling me, you dick"

But even if you accept the premise that the only explanation is if you can't identity it, it MUST be of alien origin, in star trek that's just another Tuesday.

Imagine Worf, saying to Sisko "nah I don't believe in alien life".

"Mr. Worf, surely you're aware I am not a Klingon; that you interact daily with life alien to Qo'noS?"

"Nah. Don't think so. Really don't think so."

Edit: has star trek ever explored the concept of a people who refuse to really "believe" in aliens?

Worf is a Flat Qo'noSer?

I think it has come up in some of the prime directive centered episodes. Not so much outside of that.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
