I've never seen a UFO but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Human's are a young species, in our infancy, when you think about the life of the universe. Why couldn't there be much older civilizations out there that managed to survive their infancy to develope into space travelers? In our pride as humans we believe our intelligence to be superior when we've just begun to learn. If mankind survives, where will we be in a thousand or two thousand years. We may be the UFO investigating other worlds.

My advise is to maintain an open mind on this subject.The majority of us do not have the necessary information to draw a intelligent conclusion regarding whether there is or not a extraterrestrial presence among us.

if we become polarized with absolute belief or disbilief, we will start making dumb statements and commentaries.There may be surprises in the near future.

Ofcourse aliens are visiting us. We are interesting. We are not much more than animals with a bigger brain who are destroying our home planet. We are so naive. What we should realize is that anything and everything is possible. The aliens don't have to travel thousands or millions of light years to get here. They can use warps in space, time travel, black holes, waves of light and other unimaginable ways to get here or to see us. Of course their civilizations are much more advanced than ours. Of course they have lived millions of years longer than we have. I have read a great deal in the last 30 years that has convinced me that when we destroy this planet, it is the aliens who will clean it up and start using it for their needs. I was lucky 7 years ago to have seen a "real" ufo. A craft that was flying only 20 to 30 yds away from me, on a bright, sunny July afternoon in Walworth county, Wisconsin. It followed the road I was driving on and I followed it for about 3 miles before it disappeared. I would still feel the same way had I not seen it. At one time I wanted to meet an alien. Now, I would be terrified that they would round us up as slaves or use us as baby factories. We have proven ourselves to be not much more than violent, destructive, greedy "beings". Sorry I couldn't be more positive about this matter, but I am a realist and this isn't the 50's anymore.

I couldn't agree more. There is nothing to say we haven't been visited in the past (folklore etc). We are a race that is destroying itself slowly but a lot of people want to believe in aliens visiting us now out of a hope that our "salvation" will come from the sky. The so called pie in the sky. Let me say this if they were wanting to help why the secrecy, anything hidden away is sinister.

A few comments about the issues surrounding contact with ET. First, the lack of recognised archeological evidence that an ET visited Earth in historical times leads me to conclude that advanced intelligent life (as we understand it) is rare in this region of the galaxy. Any spacefaring ET civilisation that would be comparable to a fictional "Star Trek" would likley be here (if not in control). Second, we have been broadcasting info about ourselves for nearly 100 years via radio and television. Our planet has a bright, electronic signiture on certain frequency wavelengths that would be regarded a evidence of an advanced civilisation. A nearby ET civilisation (if it exists) as advanced as our own would have noticed. They may or may not respond depending on how they interpret those broadcasts. If I were an ET, would I feel secure knowing that much of those broadcasts consist of war and crime? Third, we should recall our own history of contact between technologically unequal civilisations. The lesser ones are usually assimulated or destroyed. Perhaps we should be thankful that we have not yet met ET. ET might see us another resource to exploit or eat. How would you like your human cooked and do you want fries with it?

If we are going to contact E.T. or be contacted by E.T., then it will happen at the expense of one of the Voyager deep space probes. My only fear is that whoever, or whatever it runs into is not a civilization built on slavery. I think the whole fascination with potentially meeting E.T. blinds us (Homo-Sapiens) to the possibility of a hostile race. Think about it, what do you think the Native Americans thought when they saw the first European, "they look friendly enough". I don't mean to be a pesimist, but I am a firm believer in the bigger fish in the pond idea. I guess what I am trying to say is, if we run into E.T., then lets make sure E.T. is nice enough race to break bread with.

Hi again, Mr. Boyle. And Hi Steve, Larry, Ted, and Harriet. I believe you. I believe you saw what you saw. So does the government, or some highly classified agency of it. We can know this because their activities in hushing up observers who had very close encounters are well known and publicized. You'd think that this alone would be enough to cause the most hardened skeptics to sit up and take notice. But it hasn't been. This doesn't speak well for their investigative skills! So I've concluded that there's only two things that will convince them. One is a full disclosure by the gov't., or an act of congress. The other will be when a flying disk parks right over their house. That second one has convinced many a skeptic. 

 I take it that the "Revisited" in this log refers to a previous one called "Your UFO Sightings". You can type that into the search box up above if you're interested in reviewing that one.   Best Regards. CT

We will be producing a comprehensive report of this alleged UAP incident at OHare International in the coming weeks. There is more to the story than hoaxed photos...

It is no secret within the aviation community that aviation professionals sometimes encounter unidentified aerial phenomena or UAP. Stories of pilot and air traffic controllers who were confronted by unusual lights or objects, UAP, in the course of conducting their careers have been documented across the entire history of powered flight. Many of these reports arise from military and commercial aviation sources. Some of these reports have demonstrated that UAP can be a hazard to aviation.

While these incidents are well documented outside of the aviation system, both the aviation community and the scientific community have declined to thoroughly investigate these reports. For many years this reluctance has prevailed over efforts to engage the situation. Though qualified individuals are responsibly reporting encounters with UAP they find that the aviation community is both unsympathetic to their concerns and unprepared to receive UAP reports. In some cases UAP witnesses may find that attempts to engage this issue can be hazardous to their careers.

Though the primary source for the most credible UAP reports has been the aviation community, all information about UAP was either stifled by a bias against reporting or flowed directly away from the aviation community. UAP observations and incidents have never been addressed as an issue that aviation professionals should be prepared for. This reluctance to discuss UAP encounters and examine UAP reports arose from specific causes during the Cold War and expresses itself as a bias against reporting and investigating UAP encounters that exists to the present day.

The National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena was founded to specifically examine these incidents and observations. Staffed by current and former aviation professionals and scientific experts, NARCAP seeks to collect data on aviation safety related UAP encounters. NARCAP publishes technical reports detailing examinations of UAP data and investigations of UAP incidents which are posted on its website.  

Aviation professionals are encouraged to make confidential reports involving UAP encounters to both the NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System and NARCAP.org . While there may be a bias within the greater aviation community, the safety concerns represented by the Aviation Safety Reporting System and by NARCAP are squarely focused on mitigating hazards to safe aviation regardless of their source. Both the ASRS and NARCAP are the safest and most effective places for aviation professionals to confidentially and responsibly report encounters with UAP without fear of retribution from employers or the FAA.

NARCAP invites any aviation professional who is either interested in the subject of UAP and aviation or would like to report an incident involving UAP to contact us through our website at www.narcap.org or directly at ted_roe@narcap.org

When we try to imagine other worlds, we only have our own societies, our own planet and her inhabitants to formulate a theory. Sure they could be bad like the Romulans in Star Trek or they could be just interested in acquiring knowledge and not out to assimilate. Or there could be other reasons that we aren't able to concieve of. But knowing what I do about humans, if I were from another planet, I sure wouldn't rush to make contact. We'd shoot first and ask questions later. We can't get along with each other down here, how could they expect us to receive them in a warm and welcoming way? They could be just studying us to see if we evolve or destroy ourselves. Which do you think would come first?

Why is it that many UFO believers also deplore the human race and how it utilizes the environment? Is the grass greener on alien worlds? The religion of global warming says that nature will punish mankind for its greed and sinfulness. The religion of UFO believers also believe in a similar apocalypse.

There are no UFO's to save us. Perhaps Mr. UFO Believer can start to save our planet by convincing Al Gore to go on a diet and stop excusing his excesses with "carbon offsets", which are nothing more than modern day papal indulgences.

I think that UFOs and extraterrestrial life do exist.  Why ?  Because none of them have contacted us yet...our world is too messed up.

My aunt and uncle became deeply religious after an experience in july of 1975. They were headed back through Iowa on RT#3 near waverly /shellrock late at night with no traffic for miles. They looked back and saw a light that looked very huge following them just off the ground but to high to be a semi. They became concerned when they slowed down and the light slowed, they then proceeded to go well over 100mph and the light stayed in the exact same spot. They stopped for what seemed like forever but were to afraid to get out of the car. The light then swooped over them at a height of about 30 yds. They saw green and white and yellow lights pulsating around a disk. They then panicked and drove away like hell before the disk broke off pursuit 5 miles later. I think more happened then what they let on because to this day that subject is not talked about. The only thing said was the feeling of sheer terror both felt on that deserted stretch of road that july night.

The main problem with UFOs being "advanced beings from another planet" is that the phenomenon has always been with us. It has simply interpreted differently as our world views have changed. The psycho-sexual anxiety of mechanical sperm and ovum removal by advanced beings from another planet is a modern version of the "is my baby really what I think it is or is it a faery changeling". The night visitor/sexual phenomenon is further reflected in stories of demonic incubi and succubi that became more prevalent as the church's influenced gained and old folk and faery traditions became less fashionable. We also see examples of airships piloted first by "wizards" (see "Dimensions" by Dr. Jacques Vallee for some good examples), then in the late 1800s/early 1900s these dirigible like airships were constructed and piloted by "eccentric inventors" or "millionaire industrialists" (still exhibiting a high level of "weirdness" in many cases, such as sending crew scurrying up and down ropes to the surface). As our society became more technologically advanced, and we moved even further away from religious and supernatural explanations and began to take our own first tentative steps into outer space, the phenomenon recast itself again in the form of "visitors from other planets." Even our perception of these visitors have evolved from the early day of George Adamaski and the contactees, who reported "more perfect" versions of human forms, to various creatures ranging from the Flatwoods, WV, giant to the little green men with elephant ears from the Kelly, KY, incident, until we finally arrived at the newly homogenized form of the "grey".
Whether the phenomenon is fully physical, fully psycho-social, or some combination of the two, it is obviously real to the individuals who experience it, but it is also undeniably culturally interpreted. So while, yes, the phenomenon is undeniably "real", that does not mean it is always physical, and even in cases where physical evidence is left behind (i.e. burn marks, crushed vegetation, radiation sickness in witnesses, etc.) it does not necessarily follow that the physical evidence is a result of extra-terrestrial activity.

It is as much a leap of FAITH to state unequivocally that UFOs are of extra-terrestrial origin as it is to assert that there is a God, and if we want to study the phenomenon scientifically we must abandon all such faith-based speculation, examine the hard evidence, and open ourselves to the possibility that this phenomenon is as terrestrial as we are, and as old as our human experience. If this is accepted, it makes no sense to assume that the entities and there crafts are actually of extra-terrestrial origin, only that this is latest way we, as humans, have of interpreting the unknown in terms of the "knowns" that are available to us and understood by us.

Odds are that there are hundreds, possibly thousands of e.t. civilizations in our galaxy right this second. Some are primitive, like we used to be and some are more advanced and can travel through interstellar space. As intelligent and advanced as we believe ourselves to be, we have a long, long way to go. Read about the Betty and Barney Hill abduction on Wikipedia or elsewhere. It's the first abduction case made public back in '62. Supposedly, the alien beings watched them while hovering above, followed them, took them aboard their ship, performed some tests and let them go. It's what we do to animals in the wild - shoot them with a tranquilizer, capture them, perform tests, place a tag on the ear and then let them go. To the aliens, humans are primitive beings, not equals. It all makes perfect sense to me. Humans are probably the laughing stock of the galaxy.

Myself I have never seen a ufo and my wife has always been a non believer of such things. About five years ago we were visiting my wifes' children in the Dallas area. My wife has always been close to her ex inlaws. Her forrmer father-in-law had died a few years before that. We were were in my step daughters home visiting with Grams, the former mother-in-law. Grams brought a photo alum to show the family. On on page was a photo of her and her husband in front of the gate to Roswell Air Base. My wife asked if the stories about the UFO crash were true and the ex mother-in-law said "oh yes, Gramps worked in the base photo lab and had developed all the photos". My wife was stunned and asked why they had never said anything. We were told they were sworn to secrecy and told if they told anyone they would loose their military pensions and their children might be killed. This was a real eye opener for both of us. Gramps was the New Englander who if he told you somthing you knew it was true. I only wish I had known this before he died.

I wonder how much does the U.S. government knows about these events. If the French goverment's SEPRA has about 3000 reports, how many does U.S. government has? Shouldn't it has consideribly much more? The more significant U.S. persons who are witnesses of such events and brave enough to spit it out, the more pressure will go to the goverment to finally made public about its UFO investigation department. Based on Earl's story, it's a pity that a goverment would go that far in order to protect its secrets.

UFOs? Well they do exist. It's a fact that cannot be disputed.

So do they carry cuddly/vicious aliens? Well at the very least, not all of them do. Many of them are top secret military test craft for their prospective governments.

This begs several more questions. First, for those wondering why some shutter-happy photographer has yet to snap a verifiable picture of a UFO, why has it been impossible to snap a picture of a top secret aircraft? Especially when one considers the armies of shutterbugs that constantly monitor the skies around places like Grooms Lake. Also, considering the fact that various governments have vested interests in keeping certain craft(s) a secret, might they not also wish to eliminate any interest of any kind in UFO watching/sightings/stories?

Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

Ufos are just a carrot dangled before u, to keep u from knowing the REAL TRUTH of what is being done to u and is hidden from u, just like that ole fuel cell we hear so much about, and u keep thinking maybe one day we,ll get it, just like that ole horse u just keep trotting along thinking youll get it, now are u ready for the cold hard facts of who put us in the shape this world is in today, first u got to know WHY ,HOW and WHO, knowing that you have been enslaved is the first step towards your FREEDOM, ok here goes, as our country entered the indrustrial revelotion everyone wanted electricity and a transportation, the county(FEDERAL GOVERNMENT) was growing fast with all this tax money, they soon realized this was a gold mine, and they also realized that there were technologies that could put a stop to that flow of money,(WATER AND OVERUNITY), so they got together and hached a plot to hide these from u, these laws are called the THE NATIONAL SECURITY ACT, they created a group of people to oversee the development and suppression of these and many more technologies,and made these people above the law and not answerable to u or anyone, in other words they put these technologies out of your reach, now the truth is they have enslaved everyone for the tax involved in the energy sector, which i must say is the biggest sector of all, and growing every day, now here is the bottom line, THE WHOLE ENERGY SECTOR IS A FRAUD that has been thrust upon the entire world, they have LIED, THREATENED,PASSED UNCONSTUTIONAL LAWS AND KILLED to keep anything from enterfering with thier cash flow, now u realize the enormity of this fraud , they have built a house of cards that could crumble on them at any time, if certain technologies came out (WATER AND OVERUNITY)now u know why your not driving on water, and never will be unless u wake up and do something about it, now my friends thier cash cow is dying(OIL RUNNING OUT),now they are in desperation mode, seeking something else to replace oil,now u know how when and who, NOW U KNOW WHO HOLDS THE KEYS TO YOUR FREEDOM, the VERY BIRDS WHO PUT THESE TECHNOLOGIES OUT OF YOUR REACH, the culprits are THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS AND SENATE, They hold the keys to this planets future, its up to everyone to ask the right questions and hold these people accountable, let me just say this, if congress said u would be driving a car powered by water next year, you would be!, now are u ready for your freedom? its up to u now .........

ok, UFO,s are real, I told you people who was keeping these things from u, how and why, and who holds the key to release these and many other technologies to you.........but they decided to not to post it here.... how nice, just another way to decieve ya........

thanks for posting it guys, the people need to know......

It is one BIG UNIVERSE, SOON WE WILL BE THE ALIENS OF CURIOSITY. AND DO U THINK WE WILL JUMP INTO THE BEE HIVE AND STRAIGHTEN OUT THEIR GOV?? OR LET THEM KNOW WHERE WE ARE FROM?? WOULD THAT BE SMART? AFTER ALL SOME MAY NOT LIKE US TOO WELL,POLITICS,RELIGION JUST TO NAME A FEW.

On sept 17,2007 between 7:00 and 7:30 my grandson and some friends were playing out side and saw something in the sky that looked like a flying saucer and were screaming to look. me and a nieghbor were talking and i went tolook and see what they looking at,So help me god i seen a real spaceship just hovering in the sky and told my neighbor to come see, it was shaped like a saucer and had a red glowing ring at the bottom. i said maybe thier making a movie or something and i'll look at the 10:00 news to see if someone else sighted it. I told my daughter about it and we went to store and then to her house when her friend came home i was telling him and he said his cousin told him he saw one to. his cousin lives on the east side of the city and me on the westside,could it be a hoax of some kind? I watch shows on sightings but this scary. and i don,t care what excuse they make this was no airplane or debre in the air or falling star because in about 10 minutes after when we sawit a plane flew over head and it was high in the sky,and hovering in one spot like helecopter do. and then it disappeared. not fly away was just gone out our sight where who knows where. i told the kids that it may have been a movie in the making because they were freaking out. but i know what i saw and it looked like the real thing to me. i thought about it alnight and day.

i read some of these comments about UFO and watched some UFO shows about sighting that the goverment trys to explain away for what reason i don't know. But i seen a UFO last night and if children was not involded in seeing this sighting that i wittness for myself. I don't know how to explain this to them and today my grandson talk about if thier friendly or hostile. what can you tell a child if the goverment covers it up and makes you look crazy. i could question some of what children might see or hear but not this. Tell me what i am suppose to tell these children that what they saw was someome making a movie in the sky.  To scare them knowing it was the real thing that we all saw. Help please

on oct.2005 I plus 2 other persons observed a disc in the sky. the lights kept changing colors.it was beautiful. it happend about 10 miles north west of logan New Mexico.I dont recall hearing that anybody else saw anything.

We a lonely civilization living in an expanding universe.  Like 2010 Space Oddessy described, before the second moon, when mankind thought he was a alone.  That is scary.  Wayne the Antique Dealer from CT

my wife and i saw the standard ufo in 1984 round silver big 50 feet off the ground slow, no noise, i figured it was ours.if they aren't,we should keep a low profile,stop signaling them, calling them, turn our porchlight off.some don't want to eat us, or inslave, us or take our puny planet.in the us we don't eat dogs, either, but they do in asia, think about that.
