UFO sightings

[locked&loaded]

I have to be honest, I always wanted to believe UFO's visited our world but never had any hard evidence.

I just saw the most rediculous thing while driving home, i saw blue and red lights moving at a insane pace. I sped up and thought forsure this plane was going down; it was going to crash. I saw that the plane looked more like the lights were rotatint than blinking, and the object turned right very sharply and dissapeared beyond the trees. I am confident in what i saw and i know it will be tough to convince anyone.

You'll have to figure a better way to explain. I imagined your post as describing a police cruiser on a chase rather than something in the sky.

The pouder you snorted, was it white or blue?! :lmao2:

j/k I used to love this topic when I was younter but never saw any real proof. If there are UFOs..i'd vote it would be secret govt planes or along those lines.

[Signals]

That was me. I put red and blue lights and a turbo charger on my ultralight air plane.:p:

Seriously though, I believe in UFO's because I have some very credible relatives that have seen the great cigar in the sky.

[Mash]

I witnessed one when I was about 12 or so....A bunch of us kids were playing outside late one nite and watched this saucer like spaceship hover above a building.... We all had a great view ....it never made a sound....and then gently for about 100 yards drifted away ....and then "bam" ...still without making a sound sped away faster then anything I ever could imagine.

I still to this day more then 30 yrs have passed talk about it with the other friends that were there......we all come up with the thing......no one believes us when we mention it...but it happened.

I saw something very similar once. Then I quit eating shrooms while driving, and I haven't seen it since.

I believe it. There is no way we're the only planet in the Universe with intelligent life. It's just a mystery how that life gets here since we're so many light years away from everything. I have seen one theory explained on a simple sheet of paper. You can go from one side of the sheet (point A) to the other (point B), or you can fold the paper in half to where point A and point B are almost touching each other. They called it creating "wormholes" to where you can basically travel anywhere. How they do that I don't know.

In my opinion, the issue of traveling is less problematic than the issue of finding. The universe is so incredibly vast that the odds of any alien civilization finding us are highly unlikely even if they were looking and had a means of reaching us. Consider these three points:

1) The SETI project's sole function is to seek out intelligent alien life by monitoring radio waves in space. SETI has never stumbled across any signs of extra-terrestrial life despite years of continuous monitoring.

2) Humanity has only possessed the ability to send radio signals over the past century or so; therefore, the maximum possible distance a radio wave sent by humans could've traveled is 100 hundred light years (because radio waves move at the speed of light). Any sign of our existence in the universe is limited to this 100 hundred light year area.

3) Our galaxy alone is 70,000 light years across. The universe is 20 billion light years across. 100 light years is infinitesimally small in the grand scope of space/time.

Finding intelligent life in the universe is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack with one exception: You're far more likely to find a single needle in a haystack or even 1,000,000 haystacks than you are to stumble across alien life. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.

Having said this...

Locked&loaded, I believe your story, and I believe you saw what you say you saw. I simply don't believe the craft was piloted by aliens.

There's no guarantee that UFO's communicate using radios. It might be like sending smoke signals and expecting some device to pick them up. Also, earth has been around for billions of years so I'm sure we've been stumbled upon before.

[ninja]

Area 51?

As one comedian joked, "Have you ever seen the people who claimed to have seen UFOs?"

Maybe these UFOs were bringing an economic stimulus package to bail the world out.

Actually, there's no guarantee of this. On our planet alone, there remain areas where man has never set foot.

Although UFOs may communicate through some means other than radio, the hypothetical civilization that produced UFOs was, at some point in its history, probably using radio signals, which SETI would be able to detect.

[Jon88]

I was watching a show today on the top 5 most popular UFO encounters. There was one encounter on this Airforce base and several Airforce personel went out to the outskirts of the base (near the woods) to check it out. They say it had flashing blue and red lights and hovered over them, shot a beam of light down at their feet, and then slowly flew away without making a sound. A top official for the Airforce was interviewed and tried to debunk what they saw. He said what they saw was a combination of a meteor, a falling Russian satellite, and a police car driving around in the woods.

Of course, the great irony of SETI is that it's searching for signs of intelligence by sorting through naturally occurring radio waves. In other words, they're seeking intelligent design within the universe.

:eek:

Yet, when we try to apply the same principle to other fields of science, we're branded rubes and morons.

And, yes, I very much enjoyed Contact--definitely one of Matthew McConaughey's better moments.

[lewpac]

How come nobody ever heard of, wrote about or ever talked about UFO's and the like until the space movies of the the 50's started coming out??

Also, if there really are "extra terrestrial" life forms, and they can actually MAKE it aaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way here to Earth, then they must be light years beyond us in knowledge and acumen and brain power and technology to pull that off.
Yet, when they get here, they always fly directly to Area 51, get caught, and at that point aren't smart enough to get away?!?!?!

You'd think that after all these years, they'd learn to NOT fly to the ONLY place on Earth that is waiting to catch 'em!

Also, with ALL THESE aliens flying around and ALL these sitings and "visits", you're gonna' tell me that NOT ONE LUG-NUT fell off over Arkansas somewhere? NOBODY'S EVER FOUND a used light-bulb or an alien cigarette butt somewhere in Michigan?

So, until further notice, I'm an unbeliever....................

Area 51 is near Roswell, were a UFO supposedly crashed. That's the only time I've heard of a UFO getting "caught" there. They first reported it as a UFO crash, then changed the story a few days later and said it was just a weather balloon. There've been supposed crashes all over the world.

I'm not certain this is true. As I recall, Teddy Roosevelt mentioned witnessing a UFO.

They don't know, it's a theory.

It's fascinating stuff though, even if it makes my head hurt trying to understand sometimes.

I was being sarcastic.....................

Still, in this day and age, you get mocked and ridiculed for believing in a God or a . The signature ridicule is that it's a fairy tail and you're an idiot for believing in something that YOU'VE NEVER seen. It's all "faith", so that makes "believers" some kind of nitwit fool.

I'm not a big Bible beater, but that's the "in vogue" and chic modern take on religion.

But you're looked upon as a "flat-Earther" if you don't go along with "other intelligent life" out there somewhere. I'm just asking for, like they do to religious folks, for some proof. Something. ANYTHING!! An eyeball, a toe, some wiring from flying saucer, some gadget or a ray-gun..............anything at all.

And don't think that there's even ONE reporter on Earth who wouldn't love to get THAT scoop. No "secrecy oath" or "hush-hush pact" would work in this day and age.

So, after AAALLLLL THIS TIME, and AAAALLLL the so-called "sightings", and AAALLL the sworn testimony's and affidavits, still not one shred of evidence!

It's always some guy and DeWayne and his wife Earlene from the Ozarks who claim that they got picked up, got butt-twiddled for a while, and then dropped off in front of the Walmart!

Further more, if the activity of ET's is so abundant and "must be", how come NOT ONE OF THEM has any other agenda than to secretly scoop in and then get out without anyone REALLY knowing (except DeWayne and Earlene)? You mean to tell me that, with the thousands and thousands of visits we've had, that NOT ONE has been from folks who might not like us? Just ONE who came here to cause trouble? They're all, every one of them, just "inquisitive" and "secretive", come to just have a look-see and then get the hell out?

There's just too many unanswered questions that you'd have to stretch REEEEAAAAAL far out to explain. Surely, after all the umpteen claims, there'd be a finger nail or a socket-wrench or something from Mars to prove it true. And there isn't.

So, again, until I see something (along with the rest of mankind), I ain't buying it...................

I've actually seen many over the years... but it would carry any clout...

Just know we've seen them...

Yeah. You wouldn't get away with that with the "atheist" crowd......if you were a "religious nut".

So, you're an "ET" nut. Prove it. Show us. Just ONE thing. A little sampling. ANYTHING!

'Till then, it's just a bunch of hog-wash.

[CliffnMesquite]

I have seen them! The aliens are coming down a few at a time. Mostly in Deep Elum.

:eek:

So they're landing in Deep Elum now? Back in the early 80's they used to drive around on Forrest Lane and University in Arlington on Friday and Saturday nights and try to pick up unsuspecting kids.

Yeah, I suspect if something can find it's way here it could have exponentially more advanced means of communication.

As for the earth being stumbled upon before. Maybe, maybe not. Our unique location in the Galaxy does not lend itself easily to being spotted or found. And given that there are probably million of galaxy's......well, you get the picture. Even if some group was specifically looking for us, it could take infinite years.

This is probably the best footage I've ever seen of UFO's.

It has been analyzed and confirmed to be real footage.

I hear there are billions of galaxies. I've read books on Roswell and I believe the witnesses. The military and government don't want anything to go public because they think we're too stupid to handle it.

I took a pretty big dump the other day but ntohing like that. Sorry to dissapoint.

[PullMyFinger]

I saw something strange in the sky about 10 years ago, while my wife and I was sitting on our porch, im not saying its a UFO though. A light in the the sky far enough away to look like a star, then it dropped 90 degrees, what I would say about 5000 feet, then it went in a 45 degree angle, then dropped back down 90 degrees again. Then it shot across the sky at a blaring speed and disappeared.

All this in the course of about 45 seconds. It couldnt have been a star or planet they dont act that way, and a human couldnt survive the g-forces so that rules out any aircraft, I cant say what it was.

[PullMyFinger]

I hear there are billions of galaxies. I've read books on Roswell and I believe the witnesses. The military and government don't want anything to go public because they think we're too stupid to handle it.

With trillions of stars in each galaxy. I dont believe that God made all that just for us, that is if you believe God made all of it.
