I believe that within the next 20 years, possibly much less, we will discover evidence of life such as we're familiar with, on planets around other stars. The advances in astronomical technology and techniques should soon give us the ability to find adequately Earth-like planets, and to detect the spectrographic markers of the kinds of life we're familiar with.

I also believe that within that same time frame we will find phenomena on planets or moons in our solar system that we have to recognize as life, although doing so may require widening our definition of the term. Then again, these may be more familiar that we'd expect. After all, we've found extremeophile life forms on Earth living in conditions no less harsh than some of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons. Earth, Mars and the moon have all been "infected" by rocks from each other. It's likely the same has happened elsewhere. It's quite possible that life forms that we know can survive thousands of feet down in Earth rocks could survive being blown through space to another planet by an impact event. Someday the more important question may become "which planet did it start on?"

I do belive aliens and u.f.o's are real. One time at disney land,California I thought I saw a u.f.o or santa claus flying through the night sky on chrismas eve. It was like a glowing white thing and it was to big to be a star and because of all the bright lights and parades it would be also impossible to be a star!but i just thought it was wierd that a look a like santa claus on christmas eve, 2005,was flying above everyone to see was bezare.and who knows it could of been a u.f.o. who knows........

Well, considering the kind of descriptions you received from ordinary, intelligent people. I sure want to believe. Me? well, I have seen the odd flying thing that makes me wonder. But not as obvious as what those people reported. The only object I ever saw was a small, featurless white dot making a beeline from east to west once. It turned darker when it encountered clouds. I saw no features or lines that suggested a helicopter or plane.

I believe it was Stephen Hawking who suggested that we keep a low profile relative to UFO's and alien contact. If the smartest man on the planet thinks we might be tempting fate, I think I will listen.

> Richard Youngs, Yuma, Ariz.: "Count the number of known objects in the heavens. Then ask yourself the question: 'Is there any possible way that we are alone?'"

The question isn't whether we're alone, it's whether any of them find us significant enough to come visit.

I suspect the answer thus far is "no".

Jerry Miller — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 03:14:05 GMT

I believe UFO's are very real. Once during an hunting trip I was sitting at a tree's base watching and listening to nature. In the light of mid-day Just above the trees coming closer was this wirling wind noise. As this came closer to me I looked at the tops of the trees as it passed over and I saw No disturbances of any leaves. This noise passed over me moving slowly and what seemed intentionally. The hair on my neck stood up along with every goose bump possible on my body. I could see no evidence that anything was passing over me sitting there in my camoflage. Now I know that I was not completely hidden because of many logical reasons. This was not the first time I had seem or felt some unexplained events. Are they Real. Yes in my mind without question. Can I prove it? Not to you.

Nicholas Malerba, Archer, Florida — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 03:15:08 GMT

Ridge,Long Island, NY May 1966: My family and I were returning home about 9:30pm when we noticed an unusual object about a mile in front of us. This object was oblong and approx. 300ft. in length and about 50ft. high and traveling in a circular path. It had large violet colored windows along its side and made no noise. We called the local police and two squad cars arrived within minutes. My father was a Army veteran and my mother was an experienced piolet, my brother was 16 and I was a senior in high school. Along with three police officers we watched this object for nearly an hour before it disappeared. The police officers radioed the town north of our location to see if there was some kind of lights within their local. The responding officers stated that they couldn't see anything from their vantage point. The area over which this object was flying was a vast wooded area of over 8,000 acres with no other houses or buildings and only two dirt roads. The police officers made a diagram of the craft and a lengthly report in our presence and we all signed it as witnesses. Three years later when my brother became a police officer in the same district, he researched the report that was written that night and to his suprise the entire report was missing from a numbered file maintained by the police department. No explanation was ever given for the missing file.

to their direct, personal, first hand experience with UFOs, ETs, ET technology, and the cover-up that keeps this information secret.

This is a national press club event , that almost setles the case what are the ufos, are they real or not, it`s a must see.

Chris Eldridge, Harrisburg PA — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 03:36:47 GMT

I certainly believe that we’ll find microbes on many worlds and that other intelligent beings exist in our galaxy. However, I definitely draw the line at UFOs.

You have to ask yourself “for what reason would such advanced beings be “hot-roding” around our suburban skies?” Almost anything they would need to know can be learned from orbit or farther away still. There is no need to be “showing off” as it were. I also find all the talk about butchered cattle and human experiments hard to swallow. A mere skin cell would be all they need as that would contain DNA, which they could then either read or clone from.

Since it is possible to detect earth-like planets from great distances, I would buy an argument that such advanced races have known about Earth for millions of years and that they may have even visited us. Learning is a pre-requisite of intelligent life and I don’t think they could just ignore a world as beautiful as our own. True, they may even still be here, but I would argue that their probes are as small as grains of sand and, therefore, impossible to detect.

Rich Hoffman, Alexandria, Virginia — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 03:52:02 GMT

I have been a UFO researcher and investigator since 1964. During this time, I have investigated hundreds of stories from credible witnesses who saw something that they could not explain. I spoke to many miltary and commercial pilots who confided their sightings and miltary missions dedicated to chasing these things. I have experienced seventy foot in diameter areas where the ground has been baked to a depth of two feet or seen ground glowing for four nights following alanding event.

Anyone who does even a little reading on the subject can find out that there is more to this than mere frisbees or trash cans being thrown up in the air.

The sheer volume of FOIA documents from the government and the nature of the content accurately depicts the seriousness of the matter, despite the fact that no credible and objective study has ever been afforded the subject from a public interest. The Condon report and now the Condign report in the UK that has surfaced in my humble opinion were merely attempts to end the study of sightings of UFOs and dispel the interest in UFOs from the public domain, while secretly, we all know that technology has advanced to the point that we can track them anywhere and a any time and no longer need anecdotal records of their presence. This money can be diverted for some other use, like that of incorporating UFO capabilities into our advanced weaponry.

Douglas H. Melloy, Rome, Georgia — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 04:01:28 GMT

The debate goes on and on and on about E.T.s, U.F.O.s and life forms other than our own.

In 1989 I was traveling trough Wyoming with the Grand Teton Mountains to my left. It was during the Summer.
It was pitch black and clear. It was 9:00 pm. We were traveling in a 1976 Ford LTD Station Wagon with a 400 motor.

I happened to glance to my left and there on the horizon was a U.F.O. There was no mistaking what it was. It was oblong and three feet long and about 3-5 miles away. It was traveling in the opposite direction we were. It was moving very slowly. It was about 18 inches tall and about two feet across the bottom. There were lights of different colors.
Some were red, yellow, white and orange.

The drivers dauther was sitting in the back seat and did something very interesting. She put her index fingers to her temples and closed her eyes. The driver became terrified and mashed on the gas speeding us up to 90+ mph. I wanted to stop and take some photos.

After the U.F.O. was gone the driver asked her daughter what she was doing. The daughter responded by saying she communicated with the U.F.O. The driver asked what their conversation was? The daughter's response was: "They have come for me, but not right now."

The fact is millions of entities exist throughtout the cosmos. This planet is under quarantine from cultures not of this planet. The quarantine will be lifted within the next seven years. There are lots of cultures waiting to pick up their members by 2012.

It is very possible every soul on this planet comes from somewhere in the universe. It is very posible that U.F.O's will come to pick up those people who need to return home.

Science and religion are used to keep people ignorant about cultures that have come from elsewhere. There are literally thousands of artifacts here on earth that proves there are other types of intelligence besides our own.

Jehovah of the Old Testament is a war lord god that came around 9,000 bc and took possession of the Jews as 'his' chosen people. The Great Pyramid of Giza was created by the RA 11,000 years ago to teach people how to heal using love and how to manifest using light.

The good news is this. Millions of cultures are waiting for the quarantine to be lifted to gather up those souls living humanly that belong to them. By 2012 most of humanity will be with those cultures from space that they belong to.

Humanity has to resolve three psychologies: war, greed and slavery. Each person living is responsible for doing so in his or her life.

The left front paw of the Spinx has a room under it.
Within that room are historical artifacts dating back 60,000 years and longer. 60,000 years ago English was spoken and there are documents that will be carbon dated to that time period.

Within the next seven years humanity will find it has been lied to by all the great institutions.

The Mayan Calendars are the legacy of a culture that came from the Plaidies and returned there by collectively ascending.

I have searched the skies and have seen some thing very strange that nobody wants to explain. I am a trained Army Observer and I can ID most normal things but there things out there that I cannot explain, and we on this earth do not have these type of craft. If these other people are real they have a purpose for not making contact, maybe they have an advanced knowledge of our doom and have been told hands off, just observe.

Brian Vike — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 05:26:36 GMT

I have always believed in the possibility of life out there somewhere. I started looking into the UFO and missing time cases back in mid 2000, working at this full time. Since that time I have received just over 4,500 cases. I will admit, most of the sightings can be explained if a little time is placed into the reports. But there are many sighting reports that remain a complete mystery. For example, one case brought over 200 witnesses calling or emailing for an amazing event and two days following two woman had a incredible experience leaving then very ill and one woman having to be hospitalized over the night's event. (All happening in July 2003) This of course is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the unusual things people are witnessing in the day and night skies. What are these strange objects, I don't know. But I do believe strongly something very unusual is happening.

I also have spoke to many military service men and some women, police officers and pilots. Matter of fact many different police detachments call to have me investigate the sighting reports that they receive. Millions of folks are witnessing many weird objects, but the sad part to all this is, we only receive a fraction of what is being seen.

Oh Doug, dude...write your book, get on Coast to Coast and make a few bucks, ok? But get outa serious circles of inquiry. It's New Age psycho-babble like yours that is constantly making serious research impossible. What real scientist wants to get lumped in with guys that ramble on about the nature of Mans spirit, the Egyptians, 18 inch tall UFO's and make it a point to designate the engine in the Ford, as if THAT has any relevance...wow, out of meds again eh?
Am I a skeptic? Hardly. 1993, Orlando. South side, more toward highway 192 out to the Cape (Canaveral). The mechanical engineer and myself (the fibreglas tech) on a project in Orlando are discussing the work in the parking lot when in the Eastern sky a red glow catches our attention. It is moving above clouds stratified at about 20 to 30,000 feet. we stop to observe this oddity. Suddenly, a torpedo shaped polished metal object with no wings, tail, or any thing drops through the clouds at a 45 degree angle moving very fast, levels off, slows, then leisurely cruises off to the north. We look at each other dumbstruck. Broad daylight, we estimate this would have happened out over a vast wilderness east of Kissimmee, and we were just facing the right direction. Two rational guys, in technical fields, not drunk or drugged. What was it? Your guess is as good as mine. But nobody had telepathic communications or secret coded mind melds or the secrets of the Great Neon God of Vegas revealed..we simply saw a UFO, clear and clean in the daytime sky. What it was or where it was from is anyone's guess.

Rodger Berg, Beaverton, Oregon — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 05:47:36 GMT

I have always believed there are others out there and that we are not alone in this vast universe. Just a few months back I was looking at a house for sale, snapped a digital of the house and didn't think anything more about it until I got home. I loaded the picture into my computer and just above the house in the clear blue sky was this oval object. There was not a cloud in the sky and my digital had no spots on the lens, so I forwarded it to NASA and havn't heard anything, but then again, I really didn't they would respond. Just another kook out there.

Julio Mestres, Vallejo, CA. — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 05:49:34 GMT

I didn't believe in them. The first time it was Dec. 67 from (Millinton ?)NAS outside of Memphis Tenn. that's when the newspapers said it was Georgia swamp gas the next morning. It was some distance away and darn no drugs available. The second time flying from Subic Bay Philippines to Futima Marine Air Station, Okinawa in the summer of 68. It appeared from nowhere on the right side of our KC130F on a clear night. The radar couldn't detect an object within 75 yards of the wingtip and LORAN informed us that what we were seeing as a cigar shape with lights was not really there.

Hallucinations is when one person sees an object only but, I don't know what is called when five individuals see the same thing. Then flies off at an extremely high speed (greater than mach 5) without afterburners. It hadn't been the first time for two crew members as it was for me to see it up close. We all noticed movement within that ship.

We were the guinea pigs in Haiphong Bay, North Vietnam playing cat and mouse with the MIG's but, that night you could cut fear with a knife on that cabin of our plane. It was strange, I was not allowed to flash signals with the flashlight towards those figures on whatever that was in that UFO.

The choice was to report it on the yellow sheet and spent most or all of our 96 explaining what we were seeing or forget what we were seeing and go on liberty when we landed. I really wished I was on acid, because I could then say I was really under the influence of drugs and those UFO's really don't exist.

Whether or not UFOs exist doesn't matter. If they do then they are too advanced to be controlled, studied against their will, or stopped. What does matter is that we still don't know what happened in Roswell. It's not that I think a UFO crashed there, just that the government was caught red handed in a lie, made up another lie and that was that. If I were a general I would make up stories for fun too. Why not; every one else is doing it. There are no consequences, if anyone tries to investigate they'll be arrested as spies, held in Gitmo without trial. I'll even make up a story about how they were working for an Iraqi Al-Qaeda cell, because I work for the government and even when people catch me in a lie there is nothing they can do. I am invincible. Ok, you got me, that was a lie. The truth is I am indestuctible.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Coke phenomenon. Where on Earth (even in the Amazonas) can you go without encountering the detritus of modern technology, e.g. in the form of Coke cans? Similarly, if we don't live in an utterly primitive backwater part of the galaxy, we should by rights have seen some "Coke cans" or other indicators. From that premise, one may conclude that small robots, at least, are very likely to be around, so no reason to scoff at folks who maintain there have been UFOs of non-Earthly, technological origin. The problem is that this almost logical inevitability is in the company of unsound ideas of Little Green Men with an unnatural interest in abducting bored, fortyish housewifes, creating art in cornfields, and employing Photograph Blurring technology to avoid any evidence of their crimes...

Mtn Biker — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 07:15:49 GMT

I find it interesting that the majority of the encounters listed started in the 1950-1960s. Was this period not the beginning of the media's invention of "flying saucers" and tin-men from mars? Let us assume that there have been life forms visiting us for approx. fifty years then. Why are they always only visiting? After so much time and so many "encounters," why have they not stopped to say HI! (Oh yes, the government cover ups...) More over, why do they always seem to be visiting only small desert towns in the USA more than any other place or country in the world? Perhaps their penchant for trailer parks is insatiable. The persistence of the saucer or oblong craft shape in most sightings is also ridiculous. If such a shape is so well suited for space travel, why are we not using it? (Oh, right, more government cover-ups...) Let us assume (again) that we are being visited by beings from other planets... According to most encounters, the craft sizes vary from a few feet (at a distance of 2-3 miles no less) to nearly the size of a football stadium. They hover slowly in patterns so as to be well seen, or exist momentarily and then zip away as if suddenly discovered. Thinking most logically, I would assume that after traveling millions of miles through space to our planet, the goal would be to probe our planet a bit further, not to initiate freak encounters outside of Long Island or grandma's farm.

If their existence is so prevelant and widespread, why has our current space program dragged on so poorly for decades and not incorporated all of this "secret technology" aquired from alien crash cover-ups? While government denial would surely be the answer from most UFO-ers, I find it hard to believe that the government could sit on such information for long; they can't even contain the personal information of our vets and active duty soldiers.

I do believe that life exists beyond earth, but I doubt that it is visiting us in such a manner that we must rely only on suspected government cover-ups and shetchy eyewitness accounts for such proof. Perhaps some day I will log on to MSNBC.com and find a headline touting the existence of other lifeforms, but until something other than 10 seconds of blurry home videos can be furnished to substantiate the claim, I doubt it.

Your UFO sightings

Ellen, Tylertown, MS — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 07:24:17 GMT

I believe there are unidentified flying objects. I have seen two, both in the daylight hours.
Once in the 70's some of my college friends and I were outside, along with other people in the neighborhood. It was a pretty day to be outside. We saw a very metallic silver-white glowing oval object in the sky. There were four small bright lights surrounding it. These small lights, green and red, would dart out from the large oval object and hover for a few seconds and then return to their position by the larger object. They took turns doing this. We stared and just knew it had to be some kind of satellite, perhaps gathering weather information, but we still stared in amazement for several minutes. We had never seen anything like this before. What changed our minds was when all the small bright lights repositioned themselves beside the large oval object and the whole UFO sped upward like a bullet - we had never seen anything go that fast and I've never seen anything else go that fast since then.
The next one I saw was when my daughter and I were driving home about 5:30 or so about six years ago. I saw something strange in the sky and my daughter saw it, too. It was very bright and glowing, like fire. At first I thought it must be someone hang-gliding, but I knew it wasn't. It was shaped like a crescent and paralleled the road we travelled. Once in a while it would dip down, but it would come back up in a fraction of a second. It paralled the road for about twelve minutes. I kept trying to figure out an explanation for it, but there were woods by our road, not another road, so it couldn't have been pulled by a vehicle on a road. We also saw no one underneath it, as you would have seen if someone were hang-gliding. As we approached the top of a hill it disappeared, but then it reappeared in front of us, but the crescent was facing the opposite direction as before. It had looked like it was liquid when it reappeared, like it poured itself into its shape. The road curved, and then the object moved back parallel to the road. It went down and came up, but then it went down again. We didn't see it reappear again. My daughter and I both saw this.
I don't know if these objects were remote controlled or if people were in them, but I do know what we saw. And someone was responsible for them. Who they are and where they come from, I do not know. But I do know they are real.

We seem to believe that we are the only life forms in the universe. just look at how many different life forms that we have on are planet.We are a very arrogant life form, we seem to believe that the universe is all about us. It was not that long ago in the history of man that we believed that our earth was the center of our solar system and the sun rotated around us. If what we have learned so far that we live in infinite universe then it possible that many other life forms exist, If they have paid us a visit no one can say for now. One question we should ask is if advanced life forms do exist would they would have advanced technology and if they have advanced technology would want to pay us a visit. After just watching us they may believe that we are primitive life form.And not worth their time.Now after reading this many people will feel insulted by this. All I can say is just look around. If we are to survive we have to think outside of the box and be open to new ideas. I believe that the humans can make it, we just have to try harder.For we must remember that the future is traveling at us faster then the speed of light.And the universe will go on with or without us.

I believe UFOs are real. I saw one in the late sixties in my hometown (not the one I live in now. I was walking to the school bus stop with another girl when it hovered right over us. I can still remember the blinking lights and the color of the metal. It was only for a few seconds then was gone in an instant. I have always believed there is a cover up behind them and that our government doesn't want us to know the truth.

Hi Alan,
My UFO encounter was at work with several other people - we were all outside talking during a break. I was meteor spotting, as I do when out of doors at night, and talking about fireballs etc. All of a sudden a brilliant light flew overhead, horizon to horizon, leaving no trail, no streak, totally unlike any meteor or fireball. It seemed so close that we involuntarily ducked, not lighting up the sky around it like high altitude burning space-junk or bolides. That, I believe, was the only UFO I've never been able to explain on later reflection. Other things I've seen have been atmosphere-skipping meteoroids, satellites hitting Earth's shadow, crossing paths etc. And one time I was fooled by a flock of white ibis flying at night, dimly reflecting street-lights. But that brilliant, fast-moving 'object' seemed totally different. My Aunt's husband also told me of a classic disk UFO he saw on night-watch years ago, but I've never been privileged to see such myself.

To this day I still find it amazing the gullibility of human beings. Make all the excuses and reasons you want but if there were UFO's and aliens from other planets, they would have introduced themselves to the entire world. You can make all the illogical statements you wish saying why they wouldn't have but once again you would be deceiving yourself. Wake up and get involved in the real world. We have enough stange and mostly harmful things happening right here on planet earth. Invest your time solving them and making this a better place to live. At least this way your lives will not be wasted chasing yours and others imaginations.

Colin Henshaw — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 12:30:33 GMT

I don't think UFO's are real. Most likely they are mis-interpretations of natural phenomena by inexpereienced observers. Just because a person is a policeman, lawyer or some other high upstanding person in society does not make him/her an experienced observer, so such people are going to be just as inexperienced at interpreting celestial phenomena as anyone else. I have been an active amateur astronomer for forty years, yet I have never seen anything that I could not explain as some kind of natural phenomenon. Considering how much time I spend observing the sky, then the chances that I should see a UFO would be high. The fact that I have never seen one suggests to myself that they don't exist.

Sarah, Pittsburg, Kansas — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 12:44:25 GMT

My husband and I saw something unidentified about two years ago. We were driving and stopped at a stop sign to look for any oncoming cars. We had to look toward the sun and there, in front of and slightly below the sun, was an object glowing brightly. It did not appear to be moving, unless it was coming straight towards us, but it did not get bigger and there was no contrail such as jets leave in the sky. It appeared to be oval shaped. The object must have been shining so brightly because of its own lights because it was in front of the sun, so it's front side could not have been reflecting the sun. We watched it for a minute or two and I halfway laughingly said, "Hmmmmm....UFO?" My husband, Mr. Skeptic, said, "I guess so!" A moment later the object took off, straight up, and disappeared. I know that, rationally, we cannot be the only "life" in the universe, it is just too massive for this one little planet to have the only lifeforms of this type on it. All one needs to do is go on the Hubble Telescope website and look at how many stars, planets, suns, etc. can be seen in a tiny portion of space to realize just how massive the universe is.

Mark, Kankakee, Ill — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 13:30:42 GMT

“The Convoluted Universe (book)” I believe we are all here on Earth to learn and experience different forms of life. This is just a stepping stone in our development to ascend to a higher level of existence. I have not personally experience a UFO sighting but sure look forward to the day when it will become reality. I also believe that the Governments of the world are in fact aware of these visitors and have in fact been given and or found technologies not currently known to exist. I believe as technology continues to develop there will come a time when this information will need to be shared with the public. An interesting concept of there possibly being different dimensions (a 5th dimension) existing is mind boggling but scientist are in fact trying to quantify this in a recent article on MSN News. Why are they now trying to quantify this, what findings have led them in this direction? What other experiments are occurring that we have no comprehension about. Why is there a weather manipulation complex in Alaska built by the US government, heating the upper atmosphere? Why would we want to change our weather patterns? And is it not amazing that we recently found another lost civilization in Bosnian, if untouched by modern civilization what treasures to our past may be found. Well maybe the puzzle will come together soon, all I can say is civilization is at the brink of great discovery and or coming to an end as we know it today.

It is my firm belief that UFO's do exist because of the great extent that world governments go to conceal this phenomenon. The stories of printed retractions, intimidation, the "black helicopter" units, as well as declassified government documents, lend credibilty to the possibility of a cover up. There have been "official" operations such as Blue Book and Sign that may have given our government extensive knowledge of not only flying objects, but of extraterrestrial technology and possibly alien civilizations in other regions of space.

RE: Kenneth's posting, I am in total agreement that if and only if, the UFO's are real it might actually be us in the future coming to the now to save the future possibly. With that said I have seen some things before too. Growing up near the runway or flight path of IAH(Houston Intercontinental Airport)I really think everything or most could be a plane or helicopter.

Bob, Reston, Virginia — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 13:41:18 GMT

The question of whether UFOs are real is unrelated to the question of whether there may be extraterrestrial intelligent species. UFO reports are not consistent enough, when compared with each other, to support the conclusion that each UFO reporter is describing the same spacecraft, the same type of spacecraft, or different spacecraft based on the same technology. Thus, crediting UFO reports as descriptions of extraterrestrial spacecraft requires one to believe, not only that extraterrestrial spacecraft are visiting the earth, but that these visits are from a broad range of extraterrestrial spacecraft of different sizes and based on different technologies. This is unlikely, and the alternative explanations are easier to believe. As for the question of whether there are intelligent extraterrestial species that have not visited the earth and are unrelated to UFOs, this is a complete unknown.

On the second night of a vacation to South Florida in 1991, I was lying on a beach recliner at the edge of the Atlantic just listening to the ocean and looking at the stars. Suddenly, from the northeast, 10 disc-shaped objects in a triangle formation raced in from across the ocean at an incredible speed and suddenly stopped above the coast. I mean suddenly. I stared at the 10 blue colored discs (camoflage for flying over water?) for about 15 seconds, having time to note the color, number of objects and still be in awe, until they suddenly flew toward the southeast, the second point of the triangle formation taking the lead. They moved slow enough for the eye to track for all of one second before flying much faster than any technology we've developed as a race.
I was excited, awed and afraid to say anything to anyone out of fear of disbelief and losing credibility, but the next morning the Miami Herald reported over 2000 sightings of the same formation in various areas of the state of Florida.
UFO's real? Oh, you betcha. Why isn't there more definitive proof? Is it a government 'conspiracy'? Perhaps it is, but consider this...
We are a race of beings that kills each other over oil. We allow governments to be run by religious dogma and fight and kill in the name of religion. We pollute our earth on a daily basis, even in the face of the threat of global warming and concrete proof of it's actuality. We still discriminate against others of race because they're different, whether by color, creed, religion, etc. We have a nuclear deterrent that still threatens the survival of the species...
if you were from another world visiting ours, would YOU land?

I am not one to believe in UFO's, but one night last year, I was standing on my driveway and just above the roof line came what looked like a ball of fire with a long tail streaming behind it. It just shot down the middle of the street. I ran down the driveway to the street, because I wanted to see what it was and it was gone, like nothing was ever there. Like I said, I never really believed in UFOs, but I still can't get it out of my mind of what it could have been?

Vanessa Archie, Richmond, Virginia — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 13:48:15 GMT

In 1964 I was living in Fort Ord, California and one Saturday evening I was sitting in my back yard waiting for it to get late enough to watch the sun to set as I usually did. This particular evening I noticed a large bright ball of white light traveling at a 45 degree angle and at an incredible rate of speed from the sky toward the horizon where the sky and the water met. Just as the ball of light came near the horizon it came to an immediate dead stop. There was no sound at all. After a few seconds the white ball of light split into two spheres one of blue light and one of red, they each glowed and just hovered for maybe a minute if that long. Suddenly they converged back into a ball of brilliant white light, hovered for a few more seconds and suddenly dropped into the ocean with absolutly no splash and disappeared. Prior to this happening, I had not been looking at the sun so it wasn't my eyes playing a trick on me; in addition, the entire time this was happening my dog was whinning and tilting his his head from side to side while watching the same thing I was. UFO, how knows, all I know is I saw something. I have two friends (brothers) who 5 years later has something similar happen to them on the coast of Maine. The only difference was their ball of light after separating and coming back together didn't drop into the Atlantic Ocean it flew over head at tree top level and disappeared into a wooded area. They tried to find it but after going deep into the woods as they neared the area where the object disappeared they notice there was no sound not even from the dry leaves they were walking on. They said is was like walking in to dead space, they said their skin felt like there was electricity all around them. The got so frightened they turned around and ran home.

Everyday people can say they saw a ufo as its definition is unidentified flying object so yes ufo's are real.But I believe there are intelligent beings well beyond our current technology considering the age and vastness of our universe. I also believe many governments are witholding public information due to a fear factor of panic. I hope in my lifetime I witness a ufo phenomenon and maybe even get a clear photograph.

I have experienced three ufo type sightings. One, July 4th, 2001, I was outside our home watching our children light fireworks. Our neighbors had the large type, while looking into the sky, watching the fireworks, northward, I saw a light, looked like a star but it was moving too fast. It was not a plane, too far in the heavens. It made quick 45 degree angle turns to go around a star. It continued on and disappeared. My daughter saw it with me. Two others happened on the same night. In Richmond, Mihicgan about 2:30 A.M. August 2003. I was driving to my home. I turned onto a country road, and behind me a light came through my car. It was blue, at first I thought it was a light from a farm nearby, but as it passed, there were two blue streaks, and disappeared in a flash. When I turned into the subdivision, and pulled by car into the driveway, I heard an engine humming, not loud. It was not a jet engine. I walked into my house,and the noise continued. I entered my back patio area and saw an object I had never scene before. I looked somewhat like a the front end of a speed boat used in the Detroit River Races.It looked like two large lobster claws, with a center area connecting the two "claws", no lights, the reflection from my back door light illuminated the underside of the object. The color was of silver metal, with a burnished or scraped brass showing through. It had large rivets. It hovered over my house, less than 40 ft above,for about a minute. It disappeared in a few minutes. I lived near an air national guard base, and I have never seen any aircraft like this.

I was on Black Mountain in North Carolina camping out with a group in the summer of 1962 (I was 15). I decided to sleep in my sleeping bag and climbed in at about 10:30 pm. I was lying flat on my back, looking at the stars, noting how much nearer they seem on mountains, when a small cloud started drifting across the sky. Since it was alone (not a usual phenomena with cloud movement), and the rest of the sky was clear, I started focusing on it. About 5 or 10 minutes later I saw four lights fly into it at precisely 45-degree angles from each other at what must have been tremendous speed. I kept watching the cloud, waiting for them to fly out, but they didn't. In 1962, we didn't have anything that could do that--we were still trying to get rockets off the launching pad without crashing. At any rate, my attitude toward our school studies assumed a more discriminating orientation--were we really being taught the truth about earth history?

Another message to people who don't believe in intelligent life existing elsewhere in the universe:

You don't understand really large numbers. It's, OK, most people can't wrap their brains around a number with 22 zeros. But the fact is there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth. In fact, most estimates are that for each grain of sand on earth there are at least one hundred stars.

The average person cannot really fathom the concept of a trillion. A number with 12 zeros. How about a number with 22? If you think we are the only intelligent civilization in the universe, you just don't know anything about probability and huge numbers.

WE had a UFO in Highland, IL some five years ago. I went and spoke with the man who saw it. The police here in Highland, Lebanon, and Shiloh saw it too. The TV people made a show out of it a mis represented what the man who saw it said. I wonder if beings from other worlds come here to visit. If so and the governement knows they probably don't want to tell us as they may not want to scare us.
I do know the night the UFO came I woke up at the time it was alledgedly seen which is unusual as I always sleep the night unless having to go to the bathroom. If space travelers do come, why do they not let themselves be officially known?

I have seen alot of unexplained things in my lifetime to make me believe we are not alone. And not just the fact that there are millions of galaxy's out there with millions of planets and to think we are alone is arrogant to say the least. It happened on a Fourth of July probably Ten years ago. Me and a bunch of friends were waiting for the Fire Works show to begin and I had laid back on our blanket to enjoy the beautiful night sky. It was crystal clear. from the left corner of the sky a light appeared. At first I thought it was a plane but moving way to fast. Shooting Star? No. Then all of a sudden as it moved form one end of the horizon to the other it stopped on a dime and turned left and was out into space. I have never seen anything move as fast and stop and turn on a 90 degree angle like that. What it was? I can't say for sure. But it wasn't man made.

I had a wonderful conversation with a retired commercial pilot recently. While we discussed a number of subjects related to aircraft, I saved an
interesting question for him as we approached our destination. "Had he had any encounter(s) with UFO's during his flying career?" Yes. Was the answer. Large, mutiple color lights; at a location where no air traffic was to be etc. The time, date, and exact location could not be disclosed as this info. was classified. A final comment was that he believed in other forms of life in the universe. Why not?

Kathy Venable, Virginia — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 15:32:33 GMT

I know without any doubt that I have seen one. I was in high school and cannot remember whether it was 65 or 66, in a small town, Pineville, Kentucky. I was in the marching band, which was small, 45 kids or so, it was between 2:15 pm and 3:15 pm (last period) and we were having band practice on the football field. Suddenly there was a large dark shadow over the whole band, everyone stopped marching and looked up. No one said a word. Hovering above us was a UFO. It was a large, round, saucer shaped thing with a dome on top. Encircling the dome were oscillating red and green lights. It just hung there, shifting its attitude, dipping a little right, then a little left, for what seemed to be eons. It was completely silent. Then, in an instant, it flew up and away, and dipped behind a mountain that was about a mile from where we were. The band director called the air force, and we all filled out paperwork describing what we had seen. A guy from Project Bluebook came to school one day, and told us to disregard what we had seen, that it appeared to have been a weather balloon. Even at 14 or 15 years old, I knew it was no weather ballon. Its shadow darkened most of a football field. It was moving in a very controlled way, not drifting or floating. Band director was very agitated. After that, every time someone mentioned it he became angry and said not to talk about it, that it was a weather balloon. I am now 54 years old, and can remember the whole incident quite vividly.

I have two unexplained sightings.
The first sighting was in August, 1968 along I-69 just on the south side of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. My brother and I were driving South to Muncie, Indiana. It was late at night. I saw two red lights over a power tower on the East side of the Interstate. The space between the lights was pitch black…sort of crescent-shaped. I had my brother look at it and he agreed that there was something there. I stopped the car at the side of the road for a better look. I got out but my brother would not. I looked for supports beneath the red lights thinking they were warning lights for aircraft. There were no supports underneath the red lights. I visually measured how high off the top of the power tower the dark object was. I walked across the south-bound two lanes for a better look. I would have crossed the north-bound lanes but traffic north was heavier and my brother was yelling at me to get back into the car. Then we continued to Muncie. The trip took longer than expected but I am not claiming Missing Time. The next day I drove back and stopped by the power tower. There were no lights on that tower. To this day I do not know what that object was.
The second sighting was in December, 1968 in Gary, Indiana. It was night. My friends and I had just come out of a restaurant. Some patrons in the parking lot were looking up in the East-Southeast sky along Highway 20. Clearly visible against the background stars was a circular outline of lights hovering. From my vantage point it appeared about the size of a quarter. We all watched it for some time. Some speculated that it was a balloon. Some thought that it was a helicopter. There was no noise. I have seen hot-air balloons at night and this was not one. My friends got bored and left. It was there for at least 20 minutes. I got into my car and drove north and then east and the shape was still there but behind me as I went down Highway 12 for about 3 miles. No reports in the Gary Post Tribune the next day. I called the city desk at the paper the next day and was told that several people had called but the paper did not think it newsworthy. No one said anything about UFOs or Flying Saucers but I thought that might be a logical explanation since I had ruled out airplanes (it hovered and did not move significantly), a helicopter (there was no noise), a balloon (it hovered and there was no ground tether), stars (the lights were brighter than Jupiter). I was an amateur astronomer in those days with my own telescope and knew all the constellations and planets. This was neither. What does Sherlock say about when you have eliminated the obvious?

Ask people how many of them have seen angels and compare those results to those when asked how many have seen UFOs. We seem to have more convincing evidence for the existence of UFOs than we do for angels, cherubins, and such, yet we are convinced on the existence of the latter while we rebuke the existence of the former.

I for one believe in UFOs, they're existence does not demand that I give up my ability to think reasonably nor do they violate any physical laws.

Your UFO sightings

Brandon Stone, North Manchester, IN — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 16:27:46 GMT

This is 100 percent fact, and has perplexed me since it occurred. I have no idea what to make of it.

In the fall of 1989, on my way home from Fort Wayne, IN, I had just crossed the interesection of hwys. 105 and 114 headed toward North Manchester, IN at approximately 1am. I was riding with a high school friend of mine, we were both seniors at nearby schools. The car was a convertible, and because it was a nice night, I had the top down. I happened to look up into the sky over nearby Huntington, IN and noticed a low-flying object that I assumed to be a small plane perhaps getting ready to land. I noticed it because it had 2-3 lights on the bottom of it, a combination of red and white.

Not realizing that there was any place to land nearby, it had my attention. There was not much else to look at at that time of night, and the road was clear in both directions. I looked to my friend and said "hey, there's a plane coming in for a landing..." just to make some conversation. At that point she started watching it. After a few moments it became obvious that whatever it was doing, it was not about to land, and I had the unmistakable impression initially that it appeared to be getting closer to my vehicle. I simply thought in the back of my mind at that point that it was the night-time sky playing tricks on my eyes, as it would make no sense that the object was that low and yet getting closer to us. I continued to track the flying machine visually, and it kept appearing to be getting closer. The next thing I remember, some type of flying machine that appeared to roughly have the shape and dimensions of a stop sign, was flying directly above my car at approximately the same speed as we were travelling the roadway. I about died...my heart was racing, and the girl who was with me was partly laughing and partly crying I believe (cackling maybe, for lack of a better word?), incredulous at whatever it was. At this point this thing could have been no more than 50 feet in the air. I quickly checked my rearview for cars, and slammed on my brakes in the middle of the highway, threw my car into park at 4 or 5 mph and nearly tore up the transmission in the process. I jumped out of my vehicle and visually tracked my eyes forward in what would have been the flight path of the machine, expecting to see it. I saw nothing.

The next thing I know, the girl with me screams to look up, and whatever in the hell this thing was has stopped in mid-air directly above my vehicle, and is effortlessly hovering. It was so close I honestly believe I could have grabbed something out of my back seat and knocked it out of the air. I could see fumes coming out of 1 end of it, as the moon was directly behind it and revealing them as a silouhette (diesel-like fumes.) It made absolutely no noise whatsoever. The fact that this thing made no noise and was so close is the only real characteristic that has made me never be able to write this off as anything I knew of over the years. It hovered in the air for 30 secs. at most, rotated 180 degrees on the same plane, and puttered off into the sky at a very slow rate of speed. That was it. I had 1/8 of a tank of gas, or I would have definitely attempted to follow it. The girl was hysterical, and for no reason I can think of, I simply do not know what remarks we exchanged after that. I do remember going straight to my home, both of us telling my father, and I do not believe he had ever laughed so hard in all his days. I reported this to the local police department much to his disliking.

To this day, I do not know what in the world that thing was. I have tried a million ways to exlain it to myself. I can't. I'm a resourceful guy, but for the life of me I cannot come up with one rational explanation as to what that machine was. I have buried my father in the meantime, in 1998, and I would be all-t00-glad to take an oath on the mans grave that what I am saying is the truth. I am not the only one who saw it.

Around the time of the Roswell fiasco back in 1947, I lived in Odessa, Texas, near the New Mexican line. Although I was only seven, I vividly remember an article with photo in the Odessa American about a strange happening on Highway 80, between Odessa and Midland. A shiny craft in the shape of a 20 ft. long egg landed on the busy highway around dusk that summer evening, causing all the cars on the highway to lose power and stall. People got out of their cars and gawked at the craft. Someone apparently took a picture, which was published with the story. The photo was dark, but the object was clearly visible.

A short time later, the craft elevated without a sound and zoomed away at an unbelievable speed. Then all the cars regained their power.

There was never a retraction printed, and I never heard or read any more about it. An old boyhood friend attempted to get a copy of that article but had no luck with the newspaper. Pat Colley, Palm Springs, CA

Chris Eldridge, Harrisburg PA — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 16:45:40 GMT

The purpose of a Native American vision quest is to get guidance from the spirit world. Getting a vision is possible at any time, but usually our minds are far to busy worrying about things – it never EVER wants to stop thinking (just try to stop thinking for two minutes and see how nearly impossible it is). So, part of a vision quest is limiting one’s food, sleep, and activities so that the mind just “wears out.” Once this happens, a person becomes open to a vision. From Native American accounts, it can be as real as people standing in front of you, ultra large birds, and many other “natural” apparitions.

After years of Martial arts, Yoga, Tai Chi, and Buddhist training I can relate that the mind really can be absolutely flooded with images when it reaches such a state of calm and openness. We all experience this every night in dreamland, however, because we are no longer awake (as we would be in a relaxed meditation) such dreams tend to be disoriented with little if any meaning.

With such experiences and yet a very good scientific background, I began to wonder about the consciousness itself. If you think about it, a consciousness is like another dimension. Most people usually only think of three-dimensional space plus time, but isn’t being “aware” of these dimensions another dimension in and of itself? It has been proven in physics that our consciousness is an actual force in nature (the uncertainty principle). Thus, one might not want to view such UFO phenomenon as having an extraterrestrial origin but having more to do with this miraculous consciousness of ours.

Notice how the Native Americans saw natural things, while we (at the beginning of the space and jet age) see UFOs. Could all these be related to something that is observed by a “clear conscious” mind: perhaps glimpsing a much more dynamic reality than we are normally aware of but misinterpret based on our predispositions?

John Larzelere, Flagstaff, AZ — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 16:51:42 GMT

I have had several sightings of what I would call UFOs, but two stand out in my experience. In 1966 I was a university student visiting my parents in southern New Mexico. One evening I was standing outside and ran into a neighbor out walking his dog. I happened to look up and saw a huge orange ball much larger than the full moon come over the mountains. I told the neighbor to quickly look and we watched as this glowing ball moved toward us. As it got closer the color changed from orange to yellow to a bright white at which point it vanished. The neighbor, who was an engineer working at the nearby missile range said "If I hadn't seen it myself, I would have said you are crazy."

The second incident occurred in Alaska in 1998 while I was on a camping trip. I had just purchased a night vision monocular, the latest generation 3, and was out looking around about 10pm one evening. I observed a large dark object come inland from the Bering Sea at a speed I estimated at about 125mph and an altitude of maybe 500 feet. The object was perhaps a half mile from where I was standing. The object had a shape that was best described as a goose flying backwards - large oval to the front connected to a smaller oval in the back by a tube that was about half the total length. I'd say the whole thing was about the size of a medium jetliner. It made no noise and had no visible lights. Suddenly, the object rose vertically to about 1500 feet in altitude and continued on a course toward the north. I watched it for about 3 or 4 minutes until it disappeared. Since that time, I have seen many strange things flying at night with that night vision scope, but nothing like the thing in Alaska. My advice is that if you want to see how much stuff flies around at night, get some night vision equipment!!

In 96 I was looking up at a piece of equipment in the city of belen new mexico. Above me was a circular object, metalic in color, I dont know how big it was as I don't know how far up it was, but there were some light clouds between it and me, the clouds were moving slowly to the east, the ufo did not move, then it went straight up, not a sound and was gone in seconds. Later that same day one of my mechanics and I saw an object "wobbling." It was shiny, but it was not going up or down, then an object came up from the ground moveing like a falling leaf, the two merged and flew away from us---no sound.

In the summer of 1988. At Albeni Cove in North Idaho. My wife who was pregnant at the time woke me up to escort her to a campground restroom. It was about 2 a.m. She went inside, there were no lights in the area and I had turned off the flashlight and stood starring at a perfectly cloudless sky. The night sky was perfect for star gazing. I noticed what appeared to be a satalite tracking from east to west. Moving at the pace I had observed other satalites in the past. I made comment of it to her inside. Then as it came slightly in front of me and at about 1 o,clock overhead. It suddenly acclerated almost blinding speed to the horizon west of us and out of site. As quickly as I could snap my eyes and head to track it, it was gone. I yelled at her I don,t know what that just was, but we make nothing here on earth that can accelarate like that.

I too have seen UFOs meaning I have seen things flying that I could not identify and I do believe that we are not the only intelligent life forms in the universe.
I gotta tell you though, that New Age stuff like the email talking about 2012 and how most of humanity will go home to the cosmos and the foot of the Sphinx? That hurts people who seriously try to research extra-terrestrial life.
Then you have the paranoid anti-government rants about cover-ups and Alaskan weather stations and people really start to think that ANYONE who has a belief in intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is a lunatic. Let's get real people; there is just no percentage in the government covering up this type of thing!

Brian Renaud, Chicopee, Ma. — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 17:25:52 GMT

This is a conversation piece with many of my friends and family that many find hard to beleive, with the exception of one person, my father who was there at the time of the sighting! It was a summer night in 1993 in Hommosassa, Fl. Both my father and I were working at a private golf course and volunteered to walk the course late in the evening to try and find vandals that had been damaging the course at night. After about 2 hours of walking up and down fairways we were heading back up the 9th hole fairway back towards our car. About half way up the fairway I seen something that has honestly changed my life forever. Surrounded by woods on both sides of the fairway a multi-colored rotating flying object approx. 20 feet around, shut out from the left side of the wooded area. The object was hovering about 20 feet above me and my fathers heads. After gazing at the object for about 10 seconds I became very frightned and started to run towards the parking lot. My father stood there still gazing up at the colored object and did not move a muscle. After I ran for about 100 yards I stopped, turned around and seen my dad still staring at the object. It almost seemed like the object had seen me stop, turn and around and look, because it again shot out to the left and disappeared. My father started to walk fastly towards me when something caught my eye to the left right of me. In between me and my father a small 2-3 feet high two legged creature ran out from the woods, stopped in the middle of the fairway, and then darted into the other side of the woods. My father didnt take the time to stop and observe this time, he began to run as fast as he could towards me. We both got in the car and went home. I remember the feeling between the both of us that we had just seen something extrodinary that we could not explain.

Too many this sounds crazy and unrealistic, but I swear, it happened, and the only expalnation that either of us have was that it was something that we had never seen and that it scared us like nothing else ever has!

The Sumerian civilzation existed in iraq about 6000 years ago...They were highly advanced and created structures similar or equal to the egyptian...2000 years after came god Abraham and then 2000 years after, Jesus.

Our Milky Way galaxy consists of billion of stars and is a very young galaxy. How many galaxies do you think there are in the Universe?

Past civilzation have painted or documented sighthings of strange round objects to the ones we call ufo's. The Bible also describes heaven as "sky" and angels decended from the heavens...

That being said..Science is the key to all our answers!

In the early 1980's I had a close encounter of the 2nd kind, if you will. I was working at a rural airport control tower in the Philippines as an ATC. The airport is sunrise-to-sunset only and closes at night. It was an overcast night when I decided to catch a few winks atop some cabinets by the west-facing plate glass window. As I was about to doze off, I felt a pulsating sensation on the left part of my brain, and when I opened my eyes, what looked like a hovering strobe light high (like the sun at 2 pm)in the overcast sky seemed to be aimed straight at me. No, I did not get mesmerized nor felt that I had been abducted with time missing. Instead I got scared and jumped away from the line of sight. When I got the courage to look at the sky again several seconds later, it was gone. Up until a few years ago my brain could still detect a lingering residual image (like what you see when you look at a bright source of light and then close your eyes) of the "strobe" whenever I go to bed.

My husband said his Grandmother who lived at the foothills of Mt. Rainier in Washington state saw UFO's but was afraid to report it because she thought people would think she was nuts. This was in the 1940's - 1950's. I never doubted it for a second.

"There is a spaceship sitting in our backyard," was what my father said when he woke me. He decided to wake me because he said, "if someone else didn't see it that everyone would think he was crazy." We were the only two in the house at the time. Looking outside from his bedroom window, I saw it. I guessed it to be about forty feet tall and it was glowing. It looked just like one of those ships illustrated on the cover of science fiction magazines. There was no moon that night but since the ship glowed I could make out its connical shape converging to the point at the top. I was around 13 at the time. I grabbed my shoes and said, "Let's go look at it!" He said, "Neither of us are going anywhere," and he meant it. My dad was not superstitious in the least but he had decided that if there were aliens in the back yard that they would have to come inside to get us and he would have the shotgun waiting. Further, that he was NOT going to make their job easier by leaving the house. I watched the spaceship for a while, frustrated that my dad wouldn't let me go out to see it. Finally, I remembered that we had a pair of bionoculars and got them to take a better look. As I strained to see through the spyglasses, at the skin of the 'spaceship,' I began to make out pineneedles and branches. The spaceship was actually a tree--one of those pines that grow in an elongated teardrop shape. I had left the light on in the basement, it was an unfrosted 100 watt bulb so the light it cast was not diffused as it emmitted from its filament. The basement window was directly below my dad's bedroom window. The tree had a light coating of dew so that the light from the basement window hit the tree and reflected directly back to my dad's window so that in the moonless night with no other reference points to see and our eyes accustomed to the dark, it looked exactly like a classic parked spaceship. My dad was relieved but I was disappointed. Though today, I am grateful to know the truth because otherwise, I would be telling the story of how I actually saw a spaceship in my back yard and people would think I am nuts or worse, a typical Tennessee hick who has an alien encounter story.

well let me see it was late that particular night and i was on my way to work at the o'hare airport(93') and while walking as i would to the bus stop i just happened to look up and there it was in all it's glory the sky turning counter clockwise, and i really would not have not paid any attention to it but the lights were abnormally close to me (or at least they seemed that way)i could hardly move or breathe for that matter it seemed to have me locked, it was strange my body seemed to not have function but i could still feel myself but not really? do you understand? another time this happened was when i was driving down to phoenix and my map of driving through new mexico was not the plan but for some reason there i was and the sky again was full of lights turning counter clockwise...i wanted to stop and pull over too see more clearly however my daughter was in the car and if something were to happen i didn't want my daughter to be in any danger..but i could feel the same feeling i had when i was up on that bridge

Yes, i've seen objects in the sky on more than one ocassion and always in the company of at least one other person so i know they exist and because of the way they have moved regarding speed, direction, lack of noise etc. i do think they aren't of this earth. My most recent sighting was in Jan. 06 in the caribean sea. One time i saw the same object two nites in a row and hoping it would appear again, had charged up my camcorder and kept it with me in order to try and get a closer look via zoom lens. When it did appear, i had a clear shot of the object but somehow what i saw with my naked eye would not record on my camera. Talk about camoflaouge!

I too believe in ufo's, I have seen more than one ... my wife and I have seen diferent types of space craft that we knew couldnt be planes. One stands out in my mind is the one we saw while standing at a wharf a few miles from home. It was huge and it was on top of the water with a whole lot of lights on it. we thought that it might be a ship so we went to a nearby beach to get a better view. it didn't take us more than 5 minutes to get there but when we got there it was gone. we have seen a lot more strange objects in the sky. one time we were coming home from taking our son from hockey when we saw a bright light in the sky ahesd of us it was just there not moving. I was driving, my wife was in the back with our daughter. I asked to look as we passed directly below it. I didn't say a word for a while then I asked her what she saw. she said it was oval shaped and different colored lights on it. I told a friend about it and he said I should ask her sister because she had and her family saw something simiular on about the same time.So I asked and she said, why, are you going to make fun of me too? I said no we talked and she told me about their experience and how scared that became, but basicily she discribed in detail what they saw and it was the same as what we had seen. as I said I have seen these objects both in the day and at night. This is the first time I felt like sharing this with anyone. I do believe that we are not unique and that either in space or in the ocean there is something that cannot be explained. It was scary at first but if they wanted to hurt us they would'nt have a problem, because one minute its there the next its gone.

Does any body really know Stephen Hawking's,
Why can't he stand earths gravity hence the wheel chair?
Why does he know so much about Astro physics?
Why does he talk with a translating device?
These are all the valid questions and until he can show a valid birth certificate he should be watched very closely for other alien like traits and listened to very carefully for any slip ups he might make as to the whereabouts of his mother ship and or planet.

I am a trained Physicist, earning a Ph.D. in 1984 and am highly skeptical of UFOs as alien visitors. I do like to follow UFO stories because I have my own and would like nothing better than to be proved wrong on this issue. But until there is some physical evidence, I will remain skeptical.

In July of 1974, my brother and I (college junior and freshmen respectively, at the time) were returning from a double date to our family campsite outside of Howe, IN. It was nearly 11 P.M. and we were late returning so we were hurrying back so as to not get in trouble with the parents. As we turned on the dirt road heading to our campsite, we traveled about 100 yards and we both saw something that caught our attention. In the sky ahead of us, appearing over the tree line was an elliptical object floating above the trees. Since it was very dark that night, this object was silhouetted against the night sky. No features were visible on its surface, no protrusions, nothing other than two small lights, one red and one green. My brother stopped the car and we looked at this object for several minutes. There was no sound heard. The object must have been quite large given that we were still about 300 yards from the trees and it had an apparent size of 6-8 inches long at arms length. If the tree were 300 yards from the car and the apparent size of 6 inches at one yard, then a minimum estimate of its length would be about 50 yards long.

Being in jeopardy of getting in trouble for being late, we drove towards the object and the trees to go to our campsite. I watched the entire way thinking it would be right above us as we entered the trees but as we entered the woods, I lost sight of the object, implying it was farther back from the edge of the trees and thus much larger. We drove to the campsite and told our story to the folks who laughed at us but allowed us to go back out to look again. When we go back to the site where we saw the object, it was gone. We spent the next several hours driving all over northern Indiana looking but found nothing. I never learned if anyone else ever saw this object beside my brother and I.

Why is it that with everyone and his brother now owning super megapixel digital cameras, there are no recent very high quality UFO photos circulating? Did UFO suddenly get camera-shy when grainy, B&W film images no longer could be faked?

Back in 1984 I was backpacking alone up in Rocky Mtn. National forest about an hour outside of Estes Park (Colorado). I had been up there for 3 days and had spent most of my time fishing and hiking around the area. I hadn't run across or even heard in the distance any other hikers or campers and it began to feel strange to be all alone. This day I was standing at the edge of a lake fishing and hadn't caught anything but was feeling a bit on edge because the silence was starting to get to me. All at once behind me I sensed someone staring at me so I spun around and there was a giant craft hovering in the clearing and floating about 20-30 feet off the ground. I was at the same time both terrified and in awe at this massive thing. It was a disk shaped craft that was a dull silver color and must have been about 200 yards across and about 50 feet thick. It made absolutely no noise whatsoever. It must have been about 50 feet away from me and as I got ready to run I felt frozen in place. I was terrified and could do nothing but stare at the craft. I yelled outloud ‘help’ but no sound came out of my voice. Suddenly, an alien being was standing in front of me. The next thing I knew I was being led into the craft. Once inside the craft I was led into a room. Inside the room there was Amelia Earhart, John Lennon, Jimmy Hoffa, ALF, Bigfoot, the Yeti and Mork and Mindy. They were all smoking some fine dubage and having a great time. So I joined in and had a great time but never inhaled.

Ex-Army, IQ 168, and I am 1 of 2 witnesses of ufos in broad day light at FSU (a few years ago), 2 miles from florida state capital. Looking for someone who has seen similar ufos. Metal triangular in shape, like a wedge, no lights, can see sunlight reflecting off ship as it manuevers. It knew we saw it, came back and stopped over us,as if to reward me for seeing it, then as if someone flicked a switch there were at least 10 more identicial ufos, they (played around a little (corkscrews and such) for about 1 minute). then all 10 vanished at the same time except for 1, which flew off in a different direction than it was headed previously. Haunts me still, I know I saw something NOT of this planet. They are real and I still watch for them everyday because I know there watching us....It knew I saw it from thousands of feet away, I can accept the fact that they are real and here, but how did they know I saw them, I swear they knew my thoughts................

When I was walking home around the end of August from junior high school in the 6th grade, I glanced over the top of our high school and noticed a circular object just hovering. It first seemed to be a large passenger jet flying by but it wasn't moving. That was about the size from my perspective. As I looked at it closer, I noticed it looked like a hamburger shaped craft with a seeming three-decks stacked atop of each other. As I kept walking, the corner of the high school blocked my view. So I stopped, ran back, and it had dissapeared. No sound. No sonic boom. Nothing, and on a hot summer day in north Texas, you can see for miles. Gone.

I believe I have seen a UFO, but I would rather rely on my uncle's account. He was an Air Force test pilot in the early 60's and was flying west to east across the US in an experimental high-speed plane. Suddenly a disk shaped object appeared off his wing and kept pace with his flight. He radioed the contact in and was told to 'test' the abilities of the UFO. He tried multiple manuevers and the object matched him move for move. This continued for quite some time and over several states. He was then told to approach the object and try to get a closer look. He did and the disk suddenly changed course and shot off into the atmosphere. This man is a certified genius with a photographic memory, involved in secret goverment missions and trained as an expert pilot. Do I believe him? You bet I do.

In the early 1970's I was with a friend driving back from the airport through Barkhamsted, CT. The road we were driving over passed a resevoir. It was twilight, but still light enough to see the surrounding landscape. Suddenly, off to our right we noticed a large glowing ball of light gently gliding down to the waters of the resevoir. There was no sound. My friend and I looked at each other and said at the same time, "what the heck is that"! We both had had many previous UFO sightings, many in that same area and were quite frightened by the unkown. We didn't stick around long enough to see if it actually landed on or in the water. I always remembered a story that a sister-in-law had told me about that resevoir. She told me that when she and my brother were dating, they often parked at the resevoir at night, and she added "do you know that jets take off from there"? No jet I know takes off from a body of water that is located out in the middle of nowhere. So yes, I definitely believe in UFO's because I've witnessed many in my lifetime.

I never believed in UFO's until the summer of 2003. My husband and I were driving on an unlit suburban road in a new subdivision one night about 8pm...it was dark and streetlights were not yet installed. I saw ahead in the horizon what I thought was an airplane heading straight for us. It was a white light, round, and as it got brighter and brighter, I thought it was way too close to be a plane. It was growing larger and brighter to where I almost wanted to shield my eyes. Within seconds, it turned into a glowing orange cylinder - shaped like a can of soup laying on its side, and staying in the same spot - hovering. At that point I was so awestruck I couldn't speak. My husband stopped the car as we and a few people in the neighborhood walking thier dogs or jogging stopped as well. The orange cylinder then split into three blue pyramid shapes, smaller than the cylinder had been. Then immediately the three small blue pyramids moved slowly in towards each other, and just before they seemed to touch, they sped off in three directions leaving no trail, no sound, no light - nothing. They just disappeared and every one of us on that street looked at each other for several minutes and could not speak. I checked the paper the next day and sure enough there was a one sentence paragraph saying a Triton missile had been launched from Kennedy Space Center that night. When I checked NASA's website, it said the Triton missile had not been an active program since the 60's. Then I checked the NASA site again later in the day and it had eliminated the article that said it was a 60's program and it had new verbage added in that said the Triton missiles were still in use from time to time. There was one thing we ALL agreed on...that was no rocket! Rockets go straight up, from the ground, and they leave a vapor trail. Only UFO's change shape and color and make no sound and leave nothing behind but people on the ground in amazement. I don't think it was little green men at all...I think our government knew all about what we saw. I would LOVE to see it again!

I have always wondered if we were alone and I can provide my lone experience to this debate.

Virginia Beach ,VA. I must have been 11 or 12 at the time but I remember this day perfectly. Closing out a summer day of rollerblading and being a kid, my friends and I decided to lay in the front yard of a friends house and just chill out. During our talks, a buddy of mine noticed a small light in the sky that appeared to be moving back and forth. We all look up and see nothing until he points it out. Sure enough, all five of us notice this small light dart back and forth like a pinball. No sounds, no smoke, no nothing. we monitor its path for about 2 minutes until it stops and darts across the sky never to be seen again. UFO? Who knows. Do I believe in them? Sure, I assume there HAS to be other forms of life in the vast unknown we call space. I never saw anything before that and have not seen anything since. Only time will tell, I guess.

I remember watching the splashdown of a space capsule on TV when I was little. It was in the early to mid 60's sometime I think. The reporter, David Brinkley or one of those guys from way back then, was standing on the deck of the Navy recovery ship talking. He was saying that the capsule should be coming through the clouds any time now. Sudenly he say's "here it comes now" and the camera moves quikly to the sky, and an object has come down out of the clouds but it's just sitting there. The camera shows the object for just a few seconds then is hurriedly moved away, and the reporter says nervously "No No that's not it. I'm not sure what it was, but that's not it". He went back what ever he was talking about and said again that the capsule should be coming through the clouds any time. And, in just a minute it did and the hellicopter went out and picked up the astronauts. I think I remember the reporter doing the recap of the events and mentioning the other object again saying something like "we thought it was coming down once but it wasn't it". I've never heard anything about this sighting again and it was on live TV. I wonder if anyone else remembers seeing this.

I remember years ago @1970 while I was going to school in west Texas near Marfa, Texas, fellow students spoke about the Marfa Lights. I and two others went there with my 5" reflector telescope to see the objects. We traveled along Highway 90 and stopped to see the lights. Sure enough, we started seeing the lights around sunset. We traveled down a dirt road for a while and saw a metal container @ 4'x4'x4' along the road with the "university of texas and davis mountain observatory" name on the side of it. It raise some couriosity but we went on down the road to spot the lights. We found one stationary and looked at it thru the telescope. We saw a yellow flame in the distance but then later in changed into a royal blue color. Moments later, it broke apart into @12 separate royal blue flaming entities. We could hear the sounds of huming from the major power lines but nothing else out there. The night was crystal clear. Then the lights burst into a bright light and started moving toward us. We quickly packed our stuff and started to get out of the area fast. I was in the bed of the truck with my telescope and yelling at Nelson to get moving faster because the light was coming faster toward us. As we were moving back to Highway 90, I looked up and saw this huge horseshoe shaped object in the night sky nearly above us. It was nearly 1000ft long and about 300 foot wide with color panels on the bottom side. The colors were in a red,white,green,blue block pattern. The body was dark metalic with no reflection. Even the lights did not glow downward. It flew in the night air with no sound. As we got near the highway, it flew off in a flicker. Believe me I was rattled but fasinated at the same time. I have seen the lights float over the town of Marfa in a red color trio and moved away in a zigzag motion. Others, mostly blue or yellow, just move along the plains in a zigzag up and down motion. I encourage people to see them. They are still a mystery eventhough the rumors of swamp gas in the desert highlands and sulfur gas of fire still is the reason as explained by the government.

Mid 60's I and some friends were playing baseball. It was a crystal clear evening sky at the end of August. One of the kids on my team yelled to turn around and look up. To the west, just over the treeline was an object coming right toward us. It was silver and had a very bright ultra-white light coming from the bottom of it. It flew over the ball field and disappeared over the treeline behind us. We all just looked at each other and were actually speechless, then it came back over from the same direction - right over us again. We all started to scream and run toward my house because it was the closest to the baseball field. My mother clearly remembers us yelling and running toward her and saying something was in the sky. Then the object appeared again and slowed down, it seemed to be looking aound the neighborhood. As we caught up to it to get a closer look it just bolted into the western sky. The thing I remember the most is that it was totally silent, not even wind noise around it.
I had nightmares for ages. Up til then I had never even heard the term UFO. When I finally started to read up on them I realized it resembled previous sightings. Believe me I wish I hadn't seen it. My father said it was probably a weather balloon or a plane or a million other things but in the sixties nothing besides a balloon is totally silent like that was. I've often thought of contacting the others that were with me and asking their thoughts about what we saw. I think a lot more people have seen them but like myself aren't comfortable discussing it, not so much because others will doubt you but because it makes you think that we truly may not be the most intelligent beings in the universe.....

I saw two UFOs in the fall of 1966 or 67, when I was 7 or 8 years old. I was living in Keene, NH, and it was around 9 p.m. on a Friday evening when my parents called me to the back yard. We lived in a semi rural neighborhood, and it was a clear, cool night. High in the sky was a very bright light, brighter than any star. It moved slowly in different patterns, up, down, zig zag, while changing colors from red to green, to blue, to yellow. Soon another light with the same characteristics joined it. They moved around each other and we saw some kind of exchange of light between the two. It was an arc of light that went back and forth. One of the lights then disappeared, and the other light continued to zig zag slowly around the sky, until we lost site of it below the tree line. There was a report in the paper the next day about the UFO siting. I have no doubt that we saw something very strange that night, and I will never forget it.

Over the course of my life, my father would tell me of the time he saw a saucer. "i was about ten years old, it was huge" etc. i stopped listening after the third or fourth time he brought it up.
One day, I asked him, "how has this improved your life?" Other than complaining that He had been called a liar, he had nothing to say. I then asked him, "If it doesn't render a benefit to you personally, why belabor the issue?"
He hasn't brought the matter up again. I have some respect for the man. I've never caught him in a lie.
If ever i see one, i will ask the damned thing to make me rich and to jack up my I.Q. to super genius heights. If it does not, then it can go to hell for all i care.

Of course there are UFO's -- we see them all the time. But that doesn't mean they're little green men, just that they are UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS in FLIGHT. There may be little green men, and Drake's Equation squarely demonstrates that the odds are in favor of our having company "out there", but to argue that every UFO is an ET is as silly as arguing that there are no ETs.

I'm an avid astronomer and one evening my husband was out star gazing with me. We had been standing around looking at the night sky and suddenly we saw three square box shaped ufos, connected by some kind of line inbetween them. Moving gently but quickly across the sky. It lasted about 20 seconds. Very, very strange! My husband is one of the biggest skeptics out there and he's baffled by what he saw with his own eyes.

My girlfriend and I lived on the edge of the downtown area of Wichita Kansas. We had been downtown most of the day and had decided to head home. It was about an hour walk from where we were at to get to our house. We were just coming upon the Douglas Avenue bridge which crossed the Arkansas river to which our house was about 6 blocks from there. As we got half way across the bridge, just to the north west of us I pointed out to my friend a strange looking object in the sky. It was triangle shaped and had 3 bright lights at each 'corner' of the triangle. We continued walking across the bridge discussing what we thought this object might be when it just disappeared! POOF---gone. just like that it vanished in broad daylight right before our eyes. We never seen it fly off, or retreat higher in the sky...it just vanished. It seemed like this all took place in about a 5 minute period but when we got home, 3 hours of time had gone by. It only takes an hour to get to our house from the area of downtown we were in...there's no way 3 hrs could have passed. Were we abducted? Did time stand still or stop? We have no clue. We watched the papers for several weeks after that but nothing was ever reported on it. I was 15 and my g/f 16 at that time so it would have made it around 1977.

Lawrence, Mount Rainier, MD — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 22:36:36 GMT

I graduated from high school on Friday, May 27, 1977. That evening I drove a few friends from Waimea, on the Big Island, to a classmate’s house near Puuwaawaa for our senior party. At about 3:00 the next morning, I was driving us back home when I sensed something way up in the sky. I awoke everyone in the car, and we all watched this huge ball of green light silently moving over Mauna Kea northwest toward Kohala Mountain. From its altitude above near-14,000-foot Mauna Kea, I calculated it to be at about 40,000 feet. We stared at it dumbfounded for about half a minute until it disappeared in the distance, which meant that it was moving at about 5,000 miles per hour.
Later in the morning, I drove a friend to the Kona Airport and was amazed to see the clearest sky and sharpest horizon I have ever seen; I could even see the island of Kahoolawe, a sight almost no one on the Big Island has ever seen.
The next day, the newspaper had an explanation for the “ball of gas”: the military had launched a missile from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands on Kauai and released this ball of gas for some atmospheric test. Apparently someone on Kauai was up at that time of night, had also seen this UFO pass over, and had reported it. What the military failed to explain, though, was how this “ball of gas” might have been over the Big Island, almost 300 miles to the southeast of Kauai, moving to the northwest at a high rate of speed.
And what gas might the military have been testing that would have had such an atmosphere-cleaning effect?

john doe, seattle, wash. — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 22:37:49 GMT

In the early 1970s, I saw a cylindrical object hovering motionless over southern Nashville. After several minutes of hovering, the object moved off at a constant, fast rate. The object did not accelerate up to speed as one witnesses with normal aircraft.

The object was seen by the couple dozen students I was with at the time, as well as many thousands of people in Nashville. The next day it was reported in the Nashville Tenneesean newspaper.

It was evident that the object was not some sort of optical illusion. It was clearly a non-natural object that appeared to deny the normal rules of physics.

I conclude the object was not a natural phenomenon nor a man-made aircraft of any kind. I see no evidence to jump to any conclusions as to what it was.

Peter, Kaukauna, Wisconsin — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 22:56:34 GMT

Back around 1976, my sister and I witnessed something that has been very hard to explain. We lived in Northeast Wisconsin at the time next to a very large forest. One summer afternoon we spotted about 6 objects fairly low in the sky over that forest. They were metallic because you could see sunlight glinting off of their surfaces and they were close to a brass color from what we could see. They moved about like bees, darting back and forth and around each other and from time to time they appeared to just be hovering. Occasionally there would be flashes of light and one of them would disappear suddenly. This continued for about a half hour until there were only 2 left. The two remaining objects moved off slowly at first and steadily gained speed until there was another flash of light and they were gone.

We told our parents, but they just dismissed it. We were only about 40 miles southeast from Oshkosh and it was close to EAA convention time, and in past years we had had stunt fliers come and practice over the forest valley, presumably because there was no population there and if they crashed, no one would get hurt except the pilot. My sister and I knew this wasn't the case because we would sit and watch the stunt pilots when they were there and there was no mistaking the sounds and colors of the planes. They were quite loud and the sounds of their high performance engines carried for miles.

We never forgot what we saw and about 15 years later I ran into an older gentleman who lived on the other side of the forest at the time and he described the exact, same thing without even hearing my story. I introduced myself after I overheard his story and related my story to him. We agree we saw the exact same thing from different angles over 90 degrees apart and a distance difference of about 3.5 miles which would tend to rule out planets and tricks of the sun's reflection in the atmosphere. This was during full daylight so it wasn't a trick of light in the night sky. No stars were even visible in the sky. It was early afternoon (according to the other witness about 2pm CDT sometime in late July) so the sun would not have set until after 8pm.

I am at a loss to explain what we saw and I am not even sure I want to know.

Biff Spaceman, Moon City, Moon — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 23:13:58 GMT

Growing up near the Hanford Site at the edge of the desert we used to hear UFO reports on the am radio and go out and watch the lights flitting around and all the activity. Sometimes jets would scramble down from McChord AFB in Spokane to chase them. Sometimes there would be bunches of people on the grass and in the parking lot at Hanford K-12 just watching the whole shebang.
So many times they have been sighted in person and on radar, jets scrambled to intercept, stories made up about it that either someone should account for the taxpayer dollars spent on denial of the subject or release all the classified files.
They are photographed now, documented now, and have been for hundreds of years that we know of. It shouldn't be such a big deal to let the truth out, even if it makes the doubters eat their words.

Re: the 1953 UFO sighting in Lynn,MA. by Al Berry:
I saw the same thing as you--only it was in the wee hours of September 9,1968, in Pacific Northwest. My boyfriend and I both worked nights and got off work at 2:30a.m. It was a hot, humid night as it is sometimes in early September. We had a basement apartment and the building was on a hill. We were sitting on the couch with the front door open looking over the city. Suddenly we observed in the distance a large light that looked like the Moon--but oddly it looked like it was bouncing up & down. We woke our roomate who happened to work for the County Sheriff. He had binoculars and we each took a turn looking through them before--just as suddenly as it had appeared-the object began to move backward at a high rate of speed, got smaller & smaller, and then disappeared. Well, we were baffled. We didn't have a home telephone so we ran 2 blocks up to the grocery store which had a payphone and we called the Portland Airbase. We reported a UFO in the Southeastern sky and asked if perhaps the object might be a weather balloon or some such other object. The person we spoke to said that there had been other reports of such an object, took our names, and said that he (they) would get back to us, tomorrow. The next day we looked in the newspaper fully expecting a front page report but after scouring the entire paper discovered that there wasn't a news report. Neither was there a report on the radio or on television. We waited another day and then called back to the Airbase. The person who we talked to this time said that he (they) didn't know who we were, what we were talking about and that there were no reports regarding a UFO in the wee hours of September 9th, AND that there hadn't been any weather balloons. What was it? We never found out. But for 38 years I have never forgotten this incident. I remember it like it happened an hour ago.

To whom it may concern,
To all you UFO skeptics and non-skeptics alike, be aware that no UFO evidence will be forthcoming. It should be abundantly clear that the government entity that determines what is TOP SECRET has made UFO's TOP SECRET, or perhaps even higher than that. This means that anyone with any evidence whatsoever can expect a visit from 007-style agents(license to kill) who will forcibly remove it from you and then threaten your life, your livelihood, or both in order to silence you. If you feel you want to test TOP SECRET restrictions, just try to enter Area 51.
I just joined into this UFO debate yesterday. I've never seen a UFO, but I don't doubt they exist, since hundreds of thousands of UFO reports can't all be wrong. And since I see a continuing gov't. effort to erase the valid ones.

It sadddens me to hear skeptics ridicule those who have actually seen alien (not man-made craft) in the skies above us. Can I prove what I've seen? No, and nor do I care to. Nor do I feel the need to justify my sanity to any group of people who feel that only meeting an alien being for themselves is proof that they exist. These people will never be satisfied. I've never seen God, but I believe in a higher power. Am I still crazy for belief without any proof of existence?

J.D. Vaughn; Dexter, MO — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 02:33:50 GMT

In the 1970's, Dr. Harley Rutledge, a former physics professor at Southeast Missouri State U., and his students studied UFO's(earthlights)near Piedmont, MO. They carefully documented the lights & found that they operated in the TV(FM)part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

During my last couple of years as a geologist at the Missouri Geological Survey, in my spare time I was really working on my spiritual development & "coincidentally" encountered a flurry of UFO reports within the last 12 months or so. In each case the luminous orbs, flashes, etc. were found to be near metallic mineral deposits or faults, including the still active north New Madrid fault in southeast Missouri colleagues & I have researched. A USGS seismologist did a study of the earthlights in the greater New Madrid region and concluded that there was a likely link with both flooding and earthquakes. Other UFO's active south of Dexter, MO in the 1960's appear to have been associated with the active Dexter Tectonic Zone & the epicentral area of a M 4.7 1963 earthquake. A search of the Internet produced a couple of worthwhile sites that discussed a "tectonic strain" hypothesis (likely piezoelectric effect)and similar UFO sites apparently associated with known geologic faults.

A notable site in Oregon County, MO was found to overlie the Bolivar-Mansfield Tectonic Zone. This site was reported to me by a banker who has built an observatory on his property and observed and documented a great array of earthlights, some of which were reportedly associated with "craft." Accordingly, most of the credible earthlights I'm aware of in Missouri appear to have an association with tectonic faults, two of which are yet active. Whether or not some sort of craft could have been involved with some sitings in Oregon Co, MO is anyone's guess--there's no shred of scientific evidence for it, but I'll keep an open mind about such long shots as parallel universes, ET's, etc. Anin't life on Earth a pickle, folks?

Erich J. Knight, Mcgaheysville, VA — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 03:38:39 GMT

Many of these effects sound like Ballightning,and though not completly understood,some of the phyics are being persued.

Aneutronic Fusion is one. Here I am not talking about the big science ITER project taking thirty years, but the several small alternative plasma fusion efforts.

.There are three companies pursuing hydrogen-boron plasma toroid fusion, Paul Koloc, Prometheus II, Eric Lerner, Focus Fusion and Clint Seward of Electron Power Systems www.electronpowersystems.com . A resent DOD review of EPS technology reads as follows:

"MIT considers these plasmas a revolutionary breakthrough, with Delphi's
chief scientist and senior manager for advanced technology both agreeing
that EST/SPT physics are repeatable and theoretically explainable. MIT and
EPS have jointly authored numerous professional papers describing their
work. (Delphi is a $33B company, the spun off Delco Division of General
Motors)."
and
"Cost: no cost data available. The complexity of reliable mini-toroid
formation and acceleration with compact, relatively low-cost equipment
remains to be determined. Yet the fact that the EPS/MIT STTR work this
technology has attracted interest from Delphi is very significant, as the
automotive electronics industry is considered to be extremely demanding of
functionality per dollar and pound (e.g., mil-spec performance at
Wal-Mart-class 'commodity' prices)."

EPS, Electron Power Systems seems the strongest and most advanced, and I love the scalability, They propose applications as varied as home power generation@ .ooo5 cents/KWhr, cars, distributed power, airplanes, space propulsion , power storage and kinetic weapons.

It also provides a theoretic base for ball lighting Ball Lightning Explained as a Stable Plasma Toroid
The theoretics are all there in peer reviewed papers.

It does sound to good to be true however with names like MIT, Delphi, STTR grants, NIST grants , etc., popping up all over, I have to keep investigating.

Recent support has also come from one of the top lightning researcher in the world, Joe Dwyer at FIT, when he got his Y-ray and X-ray research published in last May issue of Scientific American,and according to Clint Seward it supports his lightning models and fusion work at Electron Power Systems

It may also explain Elves, blue jets, sprites and red sprites, plasmas that appear above thunder storms. After a little searching, this seemed to have the best hard numbers on the observations of sprites.And may also explain the spiral twist of some fulgurites, hollow fused sand tubes found in sandy ground at lightning strikes.

lightning produces thermonuclear reaction
This new work By Dr.Kuzhevsky on neutrons in lightning: Russian Science News is also supportive of Electron Power Systems fusion efforts .

Vincent Page (a technology officer at GE!!) gave a presentation at the 05 6th symposium on current trends in international fusion research , which high lights the need to fully fund three different approaches to P-B11 fusion (Below Is an excerpt).
He quotes costs and time to development of P-B11 Fusion as tens of million $, and years verses the many decades and ten Billion plus $ projected for ITER and other "Big" science efforts:

"for larger plant sizes
Time to small-scale Cost to achieve net if the small-scale
Concept Description net energy production energy concept works:
Koloc Spherical Plasma: 10 years(time frame), $25 million (cost), 80%(chance of success)
Field Reversed Configuration: 8 years $75 million 60%
(Eric Lerner)Plasma Focus: 6 years $18 million 80%"

Looks like Eric Lerner is moving down the road!!
U.S., Chilean Labs to Collaborate on Testing Scientific Feasibility of Focus Fusion

The learning curve is so steep now, and with the resources of the online community, I'm sure we can rally greater support to solve this paramount problem of our time. I hold no truck with those who argue that big business or government are suppressing these technologies. It is only our complacency and comfort that blind us from pushing our leaders toward clean energy.

This post is a plea to the science writers among you to craft a story covering aneutronic fusion, the P-B11 efforts, Eric's Billion degree temperatures and x-ray source project, Clint's lightning theories, and DOD review, and Paul's review by GE. The minimal cost and time frame for even the possibility of this leap forward seems criminal not to pursue. I am wondering why this technology has never been put in the public eye.
My hope is that someone, more skilled, would step up to give a shout out about these technologies. Please contact me for copies of my correspondence with the principles, interesting replies and criticisms from physics discussion forums and academic physicists who have replied to my queries.

Thanks for any help

UFOs exist, the proof is undeniable. Thousands of people make reports yearly of strange lights performing impossible maneuvers that traditional earth-bound aircraft, commercial, military, etc; could never accomplish. While most of the world's governments try to deny the reality of their existence, they blame the sightings on natural aerial phenomenon, the planet Venus, swamp gas, weather balloons or mass hysteria.

Miss_Lain, MN USA — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 12:53:17 GMT

I hear it on the Coast to Coast AM radio show on occasion. Someone sees a slow light go from dim to bright and dim again. It was there and just disappeared. It's a UFO. No, probably an Iridium flare caused by sunlight reflecting off of the satellites antenna at a certain angle. Look it up and search for the real UFOs. I told my friend that when he sees a genuine unknown he won't have to wonder about it. He'll know.

I think skeptics believe people are generally stupid. They think people don't know enough to differentiate the Moon, Venus, meteors, ultralight aircraft, balloons and so on. They believe they have the right to pooh pooh anyone who has seen a UFO, no matter how close this witness was to the object and how detailed the sighting. I believe there are extremes on both sides of the UFO debate fence. I try to be somewhere in the middle.

I think most UFO witnesses have become tired of trying to convince anyone to believe them. Why should they care when they know what they saw and experienced. It's relatively rare happening only once in a lifetime for some people, is usually absolutely mind-boggling, and stays with you in vivid memory forever.

July 5th, 1986 In Parma Ohio. I was 11 years old. My mom and I were returning home from a shopping trip. It was mid afternoon and we saw a large circular object emerge from the clouds over a major intersection. It had three rows of white lights and it was rotating. It crossed the street we were on and went back into the clouds. Ever since this event I have know that there is truth to the UFO subject and I believe to the ET hypothesis. The Fermi Paradox isn't a paradox at all!

Here's an hypothesis:

Star Trek begins airing in 1962. Then the movie Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is released several years later. There is also the Star Wars movies. My hypothesis is:

U.F.O.s will come for people who belong to their culture. They will do this by the year 2012. They will come for the soul housed within the body. To prepare for this people need to know what there soul is and where it comes from. Every soul comes from somewhere in the universe. Remembering this is part of why we are here. Doing conscious out of body experiences is all any of us need to do to know this.

If you really want or need to see a ufo you probably will. But, we should all realize that if they are real that one day there will be no denying the facts in front of us. And right now the facts remain that there isn't enough hard evidence like a ship landing in plain sight during a football game or the like on national TV. If you had any evidence someone will take it away or discount it as fake. Then there are those pulling the big switch or planting fake evidence to make you look like an idiot. Why can't we just accept that they're possible and go about our business and lives? Always it seems that someone is pulling some big conspiracy just because they can. If we really live in a democracy lets work on improving what we can in the first place and set a better example for anyone that really is watching. The people that attacked us on 911 seemed to be human and we didn't stop that from happening. I'm still trying to fugure out how so much incomptence has been keeping us safe since then. Whether or not I have had personal experiences with alledged ufo's still doesn't change things much either. The rest of the world just goes on arguing, debating and exploiting the truth and the lies until dooms day.

Scientists are now theorizing that Faster than Light Travel may be possible. Why would it be impossible that intelligent beings more advanced than humans have already solved the problem traveling the universe?

Mainstream media never discusses the possibilities of extraterrestrial visitation. They only focus on the idea that some people believe that ALL UFOs are alien craft. They do this in order to maintain the ridicule factor, thereby keeping the serious discussion out of the news.

I know that all UFOs are not alien craft, but some are. These structured vehicles (not points of light in the sky) have been witnessed by many credible people. Yet the media continues to ignore the possibilities of extraterrestrial visitation. Instead, the media bombards us with advertising and news of no real value.

As far as the UFO skeptics, most are NOT scientist, most are uninformed and look at the information with their minds made up. None will touch high-quality UFO reports. They only focus on the ones that can be easily disproved and then throw in some rhetoric to support their view that extraterrestrial visitation is impossible.

Eventually the truth will come out, it may take a few generations, but it will happen.

No name, New Mexico — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 17:43:16 GMT

I shouldn't admit this, but two friends and I were hunting rabbits out in the desert partly up in some mountains one time about dusk when we encountered something I can best describe as "ALF", but it was covered in long black hair. This animal (?) was maybe 50 yards away when we first saw it sitting by a yucca in a rocky area. We watched for a few seconds until it stood up to a full height of maybe 3.5 feet. We moved a bit closer and I shot it multiple times. This thing then broke into a full run straight at us at which point I shot it several more times and jumped back in our truck and we rolled up the windows. We decided the best course of action was to run it down with the truck. At a distance of maybe 10 yards the thing turned and ran up a small arroyo with us in pursuit. We were almost able to run over it when we hit a sand bank and got stuck. The thing ran into the bushes and disappeared, but we stayed in the truck for over an hour knowing this thing was out there and wounded. We finally got brave enough to get out in the dark and get the truck unstuck then left the area. The next day we went back to the same area and measured the yucca so we could verify the size of what we saw and look for any tracks or blood. There was nothing but our tire tracks. We called the local wardens to ask if they had any reports of anything like that and they just laughed. Two weeks later some other guys (government workers on duty) reported the same kind of sighting about 8 miles from where we had ours. They saw it come out of the river they too said it was as tall as the hood of their truck and they had shot at it and were positive they had hit it, but it ran off into some brush. I don't know what it was, but it was like nothing I've ever seen and I've hunted about everything.

Robert C. Lindh — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 13:59:52 GMT

It's very interesting to read all of the fascinating and varied reports in this thread, but I believe that noone has yet touched on one of the main problems with ufology (as well as other "fringe" subjects, such as telepathy, ghosts, etc.). I'm referring to a tendency to mix observations and theories.

I'm not a professional scientist, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the main points of the scientific method are something like these...

1. Observe the phenomenon in question.
2. Formulate theories to match the observations.
3. Test the theories.
4. If the tests (or new observations) don't match existing theories, revise the theories.
5. Go back to 3.

As far as UFOs are concerned, I hardly think that anyone actually doubts that they exist. According to the definition, any atmospheric phenomenon that cannot be readily explained is a UFO, right? That's the observation step mentioned above. Whether the objects are ball lightning, other atmospheric disturbances, weather balloons, spacecraft, etc. is a question of theories. As far as I'm concerned, there is no single theory that seems to explain the wide variety of observations, so I'm definitely leaning towards a combination of theories.

What makes me a little sad is that scientific investigation into UFOs (and other "fringe" stuff) is generally ridiculed by the community, including scientists, the media, and the government. Despite the fact that most scientific theories have to be continuously revised, people still tend to be overly sceptical and close-minded about things that don't happen to match their current beliefs.

ok..so there are people on this planet who think it is perfectly rational to believe in a great old man in the sky who created everything and who will send his immortal son back one day, when thousands of believers will vanish into thin air, then years of war and death and Armageddon before he casts all evildoers into a lake of fire. This is considered a rational belief? But suggest that some guys living on another planet cruising by some 50 or so years back noticed this primitive species suddenly playing around with nuclear fission and decided it prudent to look in and see what's up, suggest that and you're crazy? Holy christ what a dumb species. No wonder they don't just land, jump out, and introduce themselves.

In response to Mr. Lindh,
In college freshman psychology you learn that the four points of the scientific method are these:
1. To observe
2. To measure
3. To Predict
4. To control
It would be naive to think that our gov.t, or any gov.t, will not intervene somewhere in this process, particularly where a Top Secret classification is concerned. Top Secret is on a need-to-know basis. If you don't have the said clearance, and the public at-large doesn't, all your scientific inquiries will get you nowhere.
Now, there have been ample reports of prominent eyewitnesses being hushed up, police reports disappearing, and newspaper articles vanishing. This convinces me that something is afoot. in fact, it confirms that alien encounters are real and true.
I futher suspect, it follows logically, that the gov.t has the hard, tangible proof of alien contact. They're probably busy with steps 2,3, and 4 of the scientific method I mentioned above. If you saw the movie Independence Day, then the research lab at Area 51 depicted therein is what I'm referring to, not the alien invasion.

I am suspicious about peoples' motivations when they expound these Hollywoodish "sightings" of aerial events...UFO's. From a strickly reasonable point of view, these things can't be ET's. The idea that ET's are just blindly cruising around interstellar space and just happen to intercept earth's EM broadcasts is just too much to consider. What is the other alternative? That countless millions of years ago, such and such ET culture "found earth" in their telescopes and decided they should leap 10's or 1000's of LY's across space and assemble an "invasion" of sorts? Come on now.

I am at a loss when such people as Stephen Hawking pretty much implies that this is a consideration.

Well, it seems I've failed to make my case to some folks who it seems have their roots in Missouri- that is, Show Me. It's true that all the evidence that is available is circumstantial evidence: no hard evidence that would stand up in a court of law. No smoking gun. But as I said in a previous post, the hard evidence will be gathered and withheld indefinitely by those with the power to do so. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure they have excellent reasons for doing so. Probably national security is at the top,then the national welfare, and so on.
And no, I'm not buying that X-Files or Hollywood sci-fi stuff.I'm well aware of the difference between circumstantial evidence and imaginative fiction.
With that thought firmly in mind, I end with this: If I failed to dazzle you with brilliance, I will not attempt to bury you with b_s.. I would appreciate being responded to in kind. I CAN tell the difference! Best regards.

It's strange that these ufos seem to come in so many different shapes and sizes. There must be a used saucer dealership out there somewhere. Some ET named Gilligan I suppose. But seriously there are some remote viewers that seem to have some answers for us on this subject. Why don't you ask them? Ofcourse remote viewing was used by the government and it apparently didn't work very well for them. But then again disinformation is the name of the game isn't it? Yes, the government created ufos to fool us and the Russians while they were testing primitive jet propulsion planes and weather balloons. Whatever happened to the water car inventor? What was that interesting device he designed that made hydrogen with just a small amount of electricity? Was that ET (Egyptian) technology? If people believe in ghosts than why not ET ghosts? There are many things we are still discovering about ourselves and life after death. If there truly was crashed ufos with dead ET's then these ghosts themselves would be smarter than us as well and helping to promote our own evolution. I'm not saying this is true just possible. As for my own personal experiences it must have been sleep paralysis. And the missing time was caused by a split personality and sleep deprevation by staying up too late reading ufo books and the Bible. I just couldn't help but wonder if there was some sort of conection there. After all when you're a kid you think there is a Santa Claus and wonder later what else are they lying about. That's when it hit me that Santa Claus works for the government. I'm kidding of course but who really knows for sure.

Author Chris Eldridge — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 17:44:31 GMT

To C. Trevino of Texas,
If the Gov. somehow really did have a crashed alien space ship and the bodies of alien explorers then, sure, I guess it would be possible that such information would be withheld for the reasons (security and so as not to cause public panic) you suggest. But the lack of physical evidence is still not evidence and I don’t think the government could suppress the “wealth” of evidence (in ALL countries around the would) that is being suggested by all these proported sightings and earthly contacts. Conspiracy is one thing but that’s just not being realistic! The fact that President Clinton came out as strongly as he did about the possible find of Martian microbes seems to run counter to these claims of a Gov. cover-up as well.

I’d personally also have to wonder why -- if Aliens really wanted to make themselves known by endlessly buzzing around our suburban skies for no apparent reason but to show off -- why they just don’t land in a football stadium or on the Washington mall as others have suggested. Do you see how such possibilities create inconsistencies in a conspiracy argument? Like you, I do believe in other inteligent beings and that we have probably been visited, but I'd would rather think of the "hows" and "whys" a real contact would occure rather than just assume its being surpressed.

Re: Chris Eldrige

To suggest that extraterrestrial beings would overtly make themselves known by landing in our nations capital would fall into anthropomorphic fallacy trap. We shouldn't pretend to know what an alien would or wouldn't do based on what we know about human motivation. We can only speculate why they haven't contacted us. One possibility is they are here to just observe and not to interfere.

Hi, Mr. Ransom of Wales, thank you for your report. Glad to hear it. And Hi, Mr. Eldridge, I thought about your comments. It occurred to me that our gov.t is not actually carrying out a conspiracy. They are actually carrying out the terms of our Constitution. It uses phrases like "providing for the common defense, insuring domestic tranquillity, promoting the general welfare", etc.. I can't remember it word for word. That being the case, then our leaders are good and honorable men and women, doing the best they can to watch out for us.
There are many reports that have not been suppressed. Didn't you hear about the flying triangles reported over France and Russia and witnessed by thousands? Or the ones happening over Mexico? Or the official report submitted by the base commander of a U.S. air base in England. He reported on the activities of strange lights in a wooded area on base. HIS report disappeared and I don't think it went into the Twilight Zone. By the way, don't you have access to the Discovery Channel?
One last thing: you can hypothesize, postulate, extrapolate, and speculate all you want about the aliens intentions, but you and I will never know what they are. I don't think they care to tell us. We'll just be left wondering about it. I personally think they're just joyriding around from alternate dimensions, or the future, or what have you, and taking in the sights. You know, tourists. Why? Because they can. Best regards.

The potential for learning about other life forms in our solar system and galaxy is a very important topic to me and -- certainly -- learning about (and potentially talking with) advanced life forms tops that list.

Obviously, no one can no for sure what the criterion would be for an alien first contract, but I do think it’s worth thinking about. Like James S. from CT, science fiction writers have long speculated about “non-interference” directives, which I do think holds merit, but why? What are the pros and cons of not interfering and when might we cross a threshold where alien beings would feel free to inform us of their existence?

The best explanation I came up with is that interfering (even just a little with a technology transfer, we’ll say) would disrupt evolution. If you think about it, there is no guarantee that humans will survive. Not only do we pollute and fight wars, we have no asteroid defenses and are still vulnerable to disease. Who’s to say what new and better life forms would emerge if we were to die off. However, with a little effort, we might become just advanced enough that we are no longer vulnerable to extinction. Wouldn’t that be great?? If this were to really happen, we would (in essence) become “those who speak for Earth:” an advanced race that is in control of its own destiny. At this point, why not initiate contact? It no longer would do any harm from the natural course of events.

Also note how global aviation also slows evolution because no gene pool is isolated enough to go its own separate way.

Anyway, just some food for thought…

Hi,Chris E.,
Your post of July 5 addressed so many points(around ten) that responding to them all would turn this into a very lengthy paper, so I won't. I'm not at all interested in contacting E.T.'s: I'll leave that to people such as yourself. By the way, I think projects such as SETI are useless. To my mind, the E.T.'s outmoded radio waves long ago when they started traveling through time-space warps, which are much faster means of communication.
As for the E.Ts.'s contacting us, they'll probably avoid that, knowing they can be captured and held in captivity for the rest of their natural lives. They can even get killed( see the post above about the two hunters). And don't get a "check engine" light when you're in earth's vicinity! On the other hand, some of those E.T. critters are not exactly benign, either. From the reports of E.T. abductions, I'd be prompted to shoot them myself.
As to the survival or extinction of our species, we can only hope that the proper technology becomes available, and soon, before our planet is done in. That is, environmentally. The post up above by Eric J. Knight, Wed. June 28, describes technology that could help save our planet by reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. What really excites me is this plasma drive could be the forerunner of the hyper-drive of sci-fi lore. Nice going, Eric!
Anyway, errant asteroids and viruses in-the-wild are not yet a race to the wire. It does seem to me, however, that cleaning up the globe's environment is.
Best regards.

Gary Mansfield, Port Charlotte, FL — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 00:44:17 GMT

In 1997 I lived one-half mile from the greater nashville international airport in Tennessee. I had been floating on my back in the pool with my feet locked inside the pool ladder just gazing straight up (zenith) into the late afternoon sky. As a passenger crossed my line of vision I was suddenly drawn to a small silver matallic disc directly above. the disc reflected the late afternoon sunset, and I could see a partial cast shadow on it against the sky. Altitude must have been some three thousand feet above me. As soon as I recognized the object it started moving directly to the setting sun (westerly). After travelling to about thirty degree agle it stopped, stayed there for several seconds and then proceeded to come back directly above me and stop. After five minutes it proceeded to move in an easterly directionto about a forty-five degree angle, then stopped. I watched this repeated movement for maybe ten minutes, then right before my eyes the object shot straight out into the atmosphere at an incredible speed till it vanished from sight. At first I thought it might be a GEO Position Satellite. I then checked and NASA doesn't have any located at this longitude/latitude. The thing that bothers me the most is that the Nashville Airport radar never detected the presense of this metallic looking object. Given the specific location and time of day, they reported no abnormal activity on their radar. I still find myself looking up into the sky these days. I can't explain it, but it was definitely real and mystifying.

C.T., Austin, Tx. — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 06:03:33 GMT

Hi, Gary M. of Fla.,
I was thinking about your comment, about how this metallic object was able to cloak itself from radar. This is by no means a unique event, for it's been reported by a host of witnesses. But then I had a chilling thought: suppose these craft can cloak themselves in the visible spectrum as well, like the Klingon warbirds of Star Trek?
This has certainly given me something to ponder over. Thanks for the input.
Wait! On second thought, I can't recall any reports of unexplained and unseen presences, except for the ghostly variety. Whew! I was a little worried there.
The most obvious guess about the craft you saw is that its power supply, or its engine, is able to deflect or absorb radar waves. Not even gravity affects it.

C.T. Austin, Tx — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 21:58:20 GMT

Hi, Mr. Boyle, and hi, folks,
I've been pursuing the line of reasoning that I began in previous posts and I've reached some conclusions that are satisfactory- to me, at least.
But first, let me thank Mr. Boyle for giving us all the opportunity to air out this controversial topic.
I said previously that the gov't. folks are not engaged in a conspiracy, per se., but rather they're making a good faith effort to protect and serve the public welfare by enveloping the subject of UFO's in secrecy. This secrecy should serve notice that the gov't. is treating the subject with due seriousness. I'm satisfied with that, but then, I'm already convinced that alien visitations are real. I don't need any further proof. Furthermore, I'm willing to go along with the gov't. boys, just to help out, knowing they can't talk about it or even acknowledge it. If they say it was a weather balloon, that's ok with me. I'm not going to make their job any tougher than it already is. I hope anyone reading this will do the same.
To those who see an alien object, and you report it, don't expect an acknowledgement- they can't give you one. But you can expect that it will reach its proper destination.
To those who are still skeptical, that's ok. You're probably better off not knowing.
I'd like to leave you with words of comfort, but I'll just direct you to your favorite church for that. Save your soul. Best regards.

Thomas Ashby, Calgary — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 21:03:18 GMT

Thank you Alan Boyle for your cosmic logging on this subject. Have you ever seen what you interpreted as a UFO?

It's funny how the vast majority of observed UFO's come from ordinary people. I have to wonder why the worlds astronomers, amateur astronomers, and especially weather observers, who look up far more than you or I, are either mum on the subject or just don't see these things. At any given time, statistically there are probably 10's or 100's of million people world wide looking at the sky in some way or another. Think about it. When you are outside for a walk, you can't help but see some portion of the sky. It's all around us. And add to this air traffic, either military or commercial. You'd think that reporting and even video of UFO's would be at least a weekly, if not daily activity world wide.

If there are far more sightings of UFO's than is being reported then this is a huge problem. Fear of ridicule is the culprit. In Spielbergs movie Close Encounters.., this is brought to light when the AT controller asks a pilot if he wants to report a UFO. The pilot declines in spite of an obvious event. He doesn't want to for fear of ridicule. In the ID movie, this kind of thing was portrayed by a loner, alcoholic single father who was considered a village idiot due to his coming forward about an abduction by aliens. An extreme example no doubt, but nevertheless in the same category.

The report by Gary Mansfield of FL is unique. however, his way of describing what he saw has many flaws. I'm sure he saw something but it's just not a credible account. He should have taken a lot more time in describing what he saw.

Miss_Lain, MN USA — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 22:18:32 GMT

One thing that perplexes me greatly. If we assume these metallic oddly shaped objects that dart to and fro and vanish in the blink of an eye, are able to conceal their presence from our eyes and radar, why are they plainly visible from time to time. Why do they dart off in one report and float lazily along in another. Is this because their technology has to do this in certain instances, or are they doing this purposely as a form of silent invasion and slowly but steadily consolidating their reality into ours. I agree that we can't reason why these visitors do what they do, but only speculate. If indeed we are wired to comprehend their depth of communication at all.

Gary Mansfield, Port Charlotte, FL — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 06:39:25 GMT

I have given much thought to the Nashville Airport object that I witnessed, and through a process of deduction and elimination of possible causes... I can say that the credibility of my sighting can only be flawed by lack of complete detail due to obvious space. The only major problem I had with this experience was in determining the depth of field on this object, although it looked to be maybe three thousand feet (altitude). If it were higher in altitude, than the only thing left to conclude is that it was some type of controllable satellite, which moved away vertically at a tremdous speed. If it was a satellite, than the size would have been incredably large for known GEO's currently in orbit. It would have to be (by simple calculation vs. orbital altitude) much, much larger than the Mere Station!!! I am an engineer and can explain things vividly, and have a strong background in abstract reasoning, but I can't explain what cannot be rationally understood. The real problem with believing accounts of inigmatic realities is that the complex degree of understanding overwhelms the mental comprehension of the major populas. It is appearently easier to doubt than be open minded to what you cannot see, to what cannot be touched, or to what cannot be proved or disproved! I personally have two other sighting in a span of 17 years. The other two sightings I was fortunate enough to have witnesses with me. These accounts were documented with sketches and explanation of the events, but they will only be real to us (the observers). The experience becomes a philosophical and changing event to those who are challenged by the limits of the senses. I cannot make you believe if you have not seen. The enigma is real, and they are out there!

Thomas Ashby, Calgary — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 17:54:04 GMT

Gary M.- Ok. Fair enough. What you say is very true. I think you were mesmerized; even to the point of "not grabbing a video cam or camera" in all your experiences. This is a feature of the mind when you spot something that momentarily grabs your attention so much that a rational reaction of grabbing that camera diminishes and you miss an opportunity. It's happended to me even with a simple event as seeing a unique bird. Or what about seeing some kind of disturbance between people on the street? Could be a sudden argument or dare I say a "fight" or even road rage. The tendancy initially is to just watch.

The worst is actually having a camera beside you and being stuck driving on a highway with no way to stop to document whatever, be it nature or UFO's.

Kelsey, Avondale Estates, GA — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 14:06:29 GMT

I WAS ON AN ISLAND, WANDERING AROUND-EXPLORING NATURE. I HEARD ABOUT AN OLD CHIMNEY THAT WAS STILL AROUND ON THE ISLAND, WHICH IS WHAT I'D BEEN LOOKING FOR. WHEN I FINALLY SAW IT, I GOT OUT OF THE CAR WITH A CAMERA IN HAND. FOR SOME ODD REAS0N, THERE WAS A LIGHT IN SIDE. IT WAS BLINKING AND I THOUGHT SOMEONE MUST HAVE THROWN A LIGHT IN THERE. BUT IT STOPPED AS SOON AS I TOOK THE 1ST PICTURE. MINE'S A DIGITAL, SO I LOOKED TO SEE HOW IT TURNED OUT. I SAW SOME GREEN FIGURE SITTING IN WHAT WAS THE FIREPLACE. I LOOKED UP FROM MY CAMERA AND SAW A GREEN-LIKE FIGURE STANDING THERE. HE STARTED TO SPEAK IN SOME ODD LANGUAGE. FROM HIS HAND SHONE A BRIGHT LIGHT. fRIGHTENED, I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND DROVE BACK TO THE HOTEL. I'D NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT.

Hi, Miss_Lain of Mn.,
I read your queries of Sun., July 9. No one can answer them, unfortunately, because of insufficient data. But we can make some assumptions based on their behavior. The aliens are intelligent and they are logical- they'd have to be, considering the performance of the spacecraft they've constructed. Now, our species is also intelligent and logical, but are we always? Not hardly! So we might assume that they can be pretty silly too.
I myself, however, lean toward another assumption. I think, brace yourself, that their behavior exhibits the properties of whatever dimension they originate from. In view of the many varieties of spacecraft that have been observed, and their varied behaviors, as well as the various alien species that have been reported, I concluded that they must originate, each one, from their own perspective dimension, and that there are more than just a few of these dimensions.
Now before you scoff and dismiss this entirely, there was a program on PBS a short time ago in which eminent physicists are proposing the very possible existence of alternate universes. It's called "The Elegant Universe". I prefer to call them dimensions. Check it out. Best regards.

Kelsey: What island is it? You missed out on the camera evidence. Personally, I wouldn't go around telling people something like that either. They may wonder what you were smoking on that island. Or, it could be passed off as an elaborate hoax to attract tourists. I often wonder if Mexico is engaging in the latter since they seem to be a hotbed for UFO sightings.

Maurice Brooks, Wiesbaden Germany — Sat, 15 Jul 2006 05:13:44 GMT

I am a retired military pilot. Standing on the rooftop terrace of my apartment building in Wiesbaden, Germany one clear, beautiful evening, as duck began to approach, I spotted a very visible orange-reddish ball shaped light hovering over the Wiesbaden market square: easily observed from the rooftop terrace. Puzzled and very curious, it kept my attention. It began to move in my direction. As it drew closer I became absolutely incredulous and remember muttering to myself repeatedly..."what the (expletive deleted) is that"? It flew directly above me, not more than 150 feet in the air, very slowly and was an elongated geometrical shape. The bottom of the object was bathed in a reddish-orange glow and it was amazingly quiet - making no sound I could perceive (though at that point I was nearing sensory overload from my excitement). I distnctly remember two things: I had no idea what kind of craft it was and I continued asking myself what it was. The craft passed silently overhead, then began its ascent, off into the heavens, as it flew on in the direction of the Frankfurt, Germany International Airport (co-located with Rhein Main US Air Force Base). Subsequent calls I made to their operations center revealed no reported or observed abnormalities, incidences or radar trackings. I am a pilot and I know what I saw. UFO's are very real. I know the difference when examining a large object the size of an airliner that passes silently over my head at no more than 150 feet in altitude. I don't care what any debunker says. The problem is that they don't know what they are talking about. Once you see one up close and personal, you know somthing is going on.

Glenda, Boca Raton, FL — Sat, 15 Jul 2006 08:54:52 GMT

About 10-15 yrs. ago, I awoke around 3:00 AM and got up to get a drink of water. As I sat down to drink my water, I realized the house was totally dark and my lighted wall switches were not lit, however, there was a bright light shining through my large window near the ceiling on my back patio over the tree tops. The street lights usually light up the area somewhat to the front of my house, but it was total darkness. I sat there mystified for a few minutes, thinking to myself, how could that happen unless there was a helicopter soaring above my house, however, I heard no noise. I remember laughing and saying to myself, "No, this can't be real." I sat on the couch quietly without going to the window to look up to see where the light was coming from, as it was scary. After a few moments passed, I heard three booms, like a plane breaking the sound barrier, which I had often heard as a child growing up in the mountains of Tenn. After the booms, the street lights returned to normal and I went back to bed. The next morning, I phoned my son to ask if he noticed his electric alarm clock blinking to indicate a power outage. He said he had lost power. I called the electric company and found that there had been an outage. I laugh when I tell someone my story because most people think you are crazy or hallucinating. It has made me more aware of my surroundings and I find myself looking up at the stars when I am out at night to see if there is rapid movement. This has made me a believer that we are not the only ones in this universe and to think otherwise would be foolish.

AJTally, Winston Salem, NC — Sat, 15 Jul 2006 13:53:53 GMT

I think I saw a UFO when I was 17. Sitting on the front porch about 9pm (Texas time). I was looking at the stars on a clear night and I saw this light move across the sky and go behind a star. I waited for it to come out from behind the star but it never did ( I watched for a long time). I do not think it was an airplane because it was out beyond the stars and if it was a plane I should have seen it after it passed the star. I have never forgotten that moment in time (why I don't know( I just have this feeling....

Spring Valley, MN — Sat, 15 Jul 2006 14:20:10 GMT

I was an Air Force weather observer during the early half of the 1960's. One night, during an early evening shift, I was called by an officer and asked to change the temperature and dew point on one of my observations from the previous week.

I didn't want the error on my record, so I refused to do it, and I asked why. He was honest about what he was about to do. He made the change on the WBAN form because he was responding to a UFO report from the previous week. He had to change the recorded surface temperature to justify writing it off as a temperature inversion which can cause freaky atmospheric conditions.

I was transferred to Alaska within six months.

In the late '60s we lived on Grand Bahama Island. My husband was working on the NASA contract. There was a communication tracking station on the island and it's main job was to keep continual communication open with our astronauts. I can't remember if it was the First or Second Manned Space Flight to the Moon but a UFO flew towards our spaceship, stayed alongside it for a while, then flew away. My husband called me and let me listen to the conversation (against the rules, I'm sure). I heard our astronaut say, "Houston are you picking this up?' and Houston said "Yes we are tracking it".

How could anyone not believe in ufos. Too many have been seen by numerous people. I dont see how that many people could always be wrong about what they see. Even cavemen created drawings of flying machines. They had to have seen something. Back then there was no airplanes, weather balloons, or whatever else the government comes up with to deny the existence of ufos.

In 1974 I was on a farm spending the night with family friends. My parents was out of town on a trip. It was fun, I was able to stay up as late as I wanted. Camping out in the living room. I was allowed to listen to the stereo. If I wore head phones. I was laying there listening to the radio. The station went off the air. There was a funny sound in its place. I went to the radio and tried differnt stations. None came in the same noise was there. I took off the head set and went to turn off the radio. The horses in the barn was making a racket. The dog was barking, when I looked out the window. I'll never forget this. I saw an orange red globe with blue lights blinking on the sides. I tried to wake up my parents friends. I was told its ok go back to sleep. I hid under the sleeping bag the rest of the night. In the morning, I told the story again. I was only 14, I was not taken to serious. A while later, the owner the farm went to the hill. Next to the pasture, the brush was flatten out. Right where I saw the strange lights. I belive to this day. I saw a UFO that night

The date is Oct18 1968 I was on my way to work just before sunrise.The road was dark and the sun was just appareing in the sky.I came around a bend and on my left side was two bright lights going fast up and thru the clouds.On my right was something very large over head of me.It had lights all along the side they were greenish blue and red it did not move or make a sound.I stopped the car and looked up at it and started to get out of the car but at that point I dedcided to leave and fast.The next day on the front of the newspaper was a story of a ufo being spotted over the city.I have no idea what the shape was but it was to big for any aircraft to be just sitting over an orange grove.Before I die I hope they [whoever]let us know what we are seeing.

With the following incidents the years are approximated (it was a long time ago). 1948 to 1950 Approx) I was a preschool child on a beach in Chicago with my parents, the beach was crowded with swimmers, I looke dup and saw what can be described as "three inner tubes stacked on each other" in the sky, I asked my Mother "Whats that?" she looks up and says "Thats the sky." and I said "No..what is that IN the sky.." I remember that incident very vividly but not much more about my life at that time. 1959 (approx): SW Chicago suburb of Oak Forest, IL, I awoke late at night and looked up (my bed was near the window) and saw what can be described as a "bright and somewhat larger star" circling in a counterclockwise direction (above and to the East of where I was) I watched it for awhile and fell back to sleep watching it. 1961 to 1965 (approx): I was with my girlfriend at a lovers lane called "Turtle Lake" SW of Chicago, my girlfriend remarked "What is everyonre looking at?" and I turned around to see many of the other couples were looking up, I exited my vehicle and asked a stranger "Whats going on?" he pointed toward a light in the sky and said "That just showed up.." as we were looking a second object/light appeared to and joined the first..shortly afterward a third object/light appeared and the objects/lights formed a equalateral triangle 3 dot pattern (there were about 100 observers by that time) then the lights/objects just "disappeared"..there was a mass exodus from the area. 1971(approx): Rural area between Springfield, TN and Clarksville, TN on US 41, I had traveled through the area on the average of once a week for 2 years and knew the area well, late one night as my girl friend and I were passing a rural area or farm fields we saw a "glow" like a flourescent light just over a rise in a clump of trees, (there was never any light there before or after this incident), the glow was rather large and lit up the whole "clump of trees" but nothing else, I wanted to "investigate" but my GF was scared so I didn't. The weather conditions on all of the aforementioned "sightings" was Clear and Cloudless.

This sighting occured many yrs. ago in the 1970's. I was driving home from the hospital at approx. 3:30 pm. I was director of Pulmonary Services at International Hosp. N. Miami Fl., so you do not believe I am a crack pot. I saw to my left a strange cigar shaped object in the western sky. The next thing I knew it was getting dark and I continued to drive home. I arrived home at 5:30pm. The interesting thing about this trip was it should have taken 20min. but it took 1 1/2- 2 hrs., it seemed impossible, but it was true.

I believe, Jersey City, NJ — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 12:28:34 GMT

In December 1973, my family and I and our neighbors saw a UFO hovering over our city street, approximately 6 feet over an overhead train pass. It did not make a sound and was still. It looked just like your typical "flying saucer". It was silver and had two lights at the base, red and yellow. When it started to glow a yellowish orange it tilted to its side and disappeared. Later that evening we saw it again this time it was high in the sky the altitude of an airplane coming in for landing. It appeared to change shape it geometrical forms, right side up triangle, upside down triangle... but may have been lights that formed the shapes.

About one or two years ago, I was at home one afternoon, watching TV. I was stretched out on my sofa, and, through my window, watched an object (it looked like a Cruise missile) slowly fly across the sky. It was close enough, that I saw its belly, and that it had a pointed front end, and two fins on the tail. I may have seen a helicopter cruising through, and not realized it, but I'm not sure.

Ed Hanson, Commerce City, CO — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 15:37:24 GMT

Your articles on this subject clearly display the anti-UFO bias that permeates the modern media and contributes to the lack of good research.

Leonard David's article "Experts weigh UFO facts and fiction" is blatantly one-sided, but not unexpected.
His choice of "experts" is a group of three de-bunkers, whose views are quite obvious. There was no counter-balancing testimony in the article.
He calls Robert Sheaffer an equal-opportunity debunker. What the hell does that mean? His statement "stands in the greatest need of refuting, no matter from what source it may come, no matter how privileged, esteemed, or sacrosanct … sacred cows, after all, make the best hamburger." shows he has nothing constructive to add to the debate.
Sheaffer says:
"It's because nobody, anywhere, has any actual facts concerning alleged UFOs, just claims. That allows con men to thrive peddling their yarns," Sheaffer said." What he fails to address is that every scrap of evidence is snatched by the military, sometimes even by breaking into witnesses' homes, and then threatening them with bodily harm if they ever speak of it.

Kevin Randle is also presented as a credible "expert", but his bias is also obvious. "Randle points to yesteryear stories, including one that stretches back in time to a supposed 1897 airship crash in Aurora, Texas. The tale was proven long ago to have been a hoax by two con men — yet it continues to surface in UFO circles. " This incident was never determined one way or the other. The conclusions are still up in the air, and Randle dismisses the evidence and testimony that exists. The pattern of disinformation, repression of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses is consistent throughout the history of UFO investigations, and people like Randle exist to support that strategy.
David then quotes another "expert" , Shostak, who make an absolutely laughable statement:
First, despite a torrent of sightings for more than a half-century, I can't think of a single, major science museum that has alien artifacts on display,"
'Shostak said. "Contrast this paucity of physical evidence with what the American Indians could have shown you 50 years after Christopher Columbus first violated their sea-space. They could have shown you all sorts of stuff — including lots of smallpox-infested brethren — as proof that they were being 'visited,'" he said.'
Considering what I just wrote about the military's often brutal confiscation and sequestering of evidence, I'm not surprised their isn't any in any "offical" museum. This is an incredibly stupid argument.
But David isn't done embarrassing himself yet:
"Obviously there is not a simple answer, but part of it is reluctance of the scientific community to support such research," explained Bruce Maccabee, regarded as a meticulous researcher and an optical physicist who uses those talents to study photographs and video of unexplained phenomena.
Maccabee, another "expert" (where, oh where is the balance?)completely ignores the suppression of the scientifc community by the military when it comes to researching this phenomenon. Overall, this is a worthless article and a waste of space. It contributes nothing to the discussion and only perpetuates the campaign of deception.
You want to know the truth of it? Read "The Day After Roswell" by Col.(Ret.) Philip J. Corso. That will give you a clue.

I was in Vienna Italy a few years ago, I was looking out my hotel window late at night, and I saw a star move and it made an L shape movement. I dont know any vehicle that can turn at right angles like that...then it dissapeared. It was very high up, so who knows what it was....On the UFO issue, what bothers me is after so many years and so many sightings we have so little or no physical evidence. It seems as though we should have physical proof by now that can't be denied....

If Earth is the only planet to harbor life, intelligent or not, then what's the point in the creation of other galaxies in the universe? ! Let me be sarcastic.. Hmmph!.. Life, on other planets! REDICULOUS!!.. Take that man to the gallows!. I refuse to think in terms of a self-centered universe.

I was once told "If you don't believe in E.T. ur an idiot".. that sorta stuck with me, and I believe a lot of people are aggravated and pissed off, not because E.T. truly exists, but that fact that we aren't being told the truth about it. It's like the kid doing wrong example.. "Just tell me the truth, and you won't get in trouble". That's how I think we all feel towards the organizations that do know the truth.

Common sense and gut instinct alone can answer the question if we are alone or not. We really don't need proof, but it would be pretty cool wouldn't it? :)

I think we all know the truth, it's just "they" haven't figured out how to tax our visiters yet so the project is on hold :) I think that's in Fiscal Year 2012's budget. ~

Why such a big deal over UFO's and whether they exist? Even if we had iron-clad proof of an actual UFO, what would that mean. It would be infinitely more important if we had actual contact with another life form. Why not just wait until one of them actually lands and makes contact? Until then, who cares?

THIS video is a recording of a NATIONAL PRES CLUB EVENT, TOOK PLACE IN WASHINGTON DC, with most major media present.
Warning this video is not a fake, or a hoax, all witnesses talking on tape can be verified as the event itself.!!!!!!

Over 400 government, military, and intelligence community witnesses testifying
to their direct, personal, first hand experience with UFOs, ETs, ET technology, and the cover-up that keeps this information secret.!!

ONce again this is a must see.

Thanks, CutePiggy, for directing me to the Full Disclosure Project. It was most enlightening. It was also disturbing- to find out that the gov.'t/industrial body that's behind the UFO secrecy is not accountable to anyone. Not even to the President or to Congress. Wow! President Carter even couldn't get access permissions! There's no denying now that they're concealing something that's truly earth-shaking.
This raises some questions in my mind, such as: what are they hiding, and why? Have they figured out the UFO propulsion systems? If yes, why don't they release this technology? It would quickly put an end to worldwide pollution and we could pull out of the Middle East. Would Big Oil's big bucks intervene to prevent this from happening, knowing that we'd be cruising around in anti-grav cars? If I find out this is the case, I'm going to be a very unhappy, p.o.'d camper!
The folks at Full Disclosure believe that alien abductions are hoaxes perpetrated by Top Secret gov.'t agents which are meant to alarm us about aliens. I, however, am not convinced of that. I can recall many abduction accounts. There was one on the Discovery Channel last year about four men from a small town in New Mexico, I think it was. They were logging in the woods when a UFO abducted one of them. He showed up a week later on a neighbor's porch, naked and shivering and extremely traumatized. During his absence, the other three co-workers were grilled by a state investigator, played by James Garner, on suspicion of murder. They were also ridiculed by the press for stating that a UFO abducted him. Please tell me if this story is hoax.
Another account, on the Discovery Channel, involved four other men in, I think, Minnesota. It was night,and they had built a large fire by the lakeside prior to taking their two canoes out fishing. Out in the lake, they spied a UFO's light and one of them shined his flashlight at it. Immediately the light advanced toward them until it hovered directly above them, bathing them in a brilliant white light. The next thing they knew, they were back at the lakeside wondering how they got there. Their big fire was now just glowing embers, indicating they were gone a long time. They had no idea where their missing time went until they underwent hypnosis and their repressed memories came out. They had a horrible tale about invasive medical research performed by the aliens.
Is THIS a hoax? Are the principals in these stories all gov.'t agents? Or are they plain, ordinary folks telling us what happened? Help me out here.

rre: Ed Hanson.

Ed I agree with everything you stated. The media is definitely one sided when reporting on the UFO phenomenon. Seth "SETIMAN" Shostak and Sheafer "wanna bee Klass" are the ones that the media seems to gravitate towards whenever the subject is approached. Every time one of these guys speaks, I want lift my shoes off the floor in case the BS starts flowing out of the TV. Like I said in an earlier post, these guys will never touch any of the high-quality UFO reports that have occurred in recent years. I'm talking about sightings witnessed by trained observers such as scientist, military personnel, law enforcement, and pilots. They continue to spew forth the rhetoric mentioned in the article in order to ridicule the subject. If they do attempt to look at a quality sighting, they will only look at the evidence that supports their claims or worse they will make up facts in order to boost their claims (the late Phil Klass comes to mind – may he rest in peace - forever). These so-called experts and the dumb down media will never make this phenomenon go away, no matter how much ridicule the subject. History will remember their wasted efforts when disclosure is finally made.

One Proud Monkey — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 15:53:37 GMT

I watched the Disclosure project video. Here is my conclusion. The people that are up their, are willing to take an oath on the subject, against congress. How many people would stand before congress and tell a lie? .. not many I don't think. Therefore, to me there is credibility to each of their stories no matter how fantastic they may sound. Considering the sightings, some may be actual crafts being flown by ET's. However, they could also be replications and/or experimental prototypes based on just one, or a couple actual de-engineered crafts that have been recovered. Either way, when a president is denied access to a subject, that's pretty serious. It means, that there are eggshells of secrecy withing "corporate/military" circles that are even beyond congressional oversite. This to me don't bode well. Who's to say that just one of these crafts alone couldn't wipe out or disable an entire countries military capability? I would say that's a concern for National Security. If you ask me, one man alone can't reveal the truth, and that's why I think Dr. Greer is a smart man.. rallying the people with credibility on the subject and spearheading the situation. The old saying goes, stength is the power to rally the people in your favor. As a conclusion, I'm convinced that it's technology being produces as a direct result of de-engineered technology, with random visits from those who created it on a regular basis.. and someday, with folks like Greer, we'll know the truth. ~ case closed

Carlos T., Tx — Sat, 29 Jul 2006 03:05:07 GMT

Hi, One Proud Monkey,
Well, it seems we've both come a long way since the beginning of this dialogue. I hope others have too. We have seen those who mocked serious inquiries into UFO's losing all credibility. The existence of aliens and their spacecraft has been verified beyond question. And some body in the gov.'t has taken custody of them both and is not letting any secrets out.
I can vouch that this CosmicLog has done wonders for me. I found the truth certainly is out there. But I'm not ready to declare case closed, because I'm still wondering, and pondering, and musing. For example, would the legislative branch succeed where the executive branch failed? And about the aliens, they seem to know when they're being observed. Were they born with an extra sense, so that language is unnecessary, or did they themselves enhance their own brains? And the alien spacecraft, did they crash from pilot error, or did their systems malfunction, thereby disabling both their drive and their anti-gravity capability? They were probably very unhappy to be stranded here.
I'll leave open the possibility that some UFO's are earth-manned. However, it won't be confirmed until earthmen step out of the next UFO crash, not aliens.
Best regards.

Warren Radcliff from Wichita Ks. WOW! That is so awesome!!! Where about in Wichita were you when you seen it? We were crossing the Douglass Avenue bridge going from east to west. I'll have to see if I can get ahold of my g/f (she lives in Arizona now and is not reliable with phone service) and tell her that someone else seen it too!!! At that time we were living on Sycamore street, 3 houses north of Kellogg. In fact we lived right at the base (across the street from) the sycamore exit off kellogg. If you know that area, you know it's not a 3 hr walk from douglas bridge! We were both fast walkers (being in the nursing profession, you learn about moving fast and to this day, I still am a fast walker). I use to go to school at West High (or could have been Mayberry Jr. High) and ur last name sure sounds familiar!

Did you guys see the articles on the "new" "metamaterials" coming out?... they had an article about a breakthrough on this stuff a couple years back but it was called a "photonic lattice" back then. There were working on covering stealth aircraft with metamaterials a long time ago...in my opinion. in fact the UFO incident that happened in Mexico there a while back.. I believe was related to aircraft that was covered in that material being that they could only pick it up on infra-red, cuz the thrusters can't hide their heat signatures no matter what. So, I don't believe we'll be SEEING too many more experimental aircraft anymore with our bare eyes.. more than likely will need expensive infra-red video equipment. Anyhow, that's just my take on the whole "stealth" issue at the moment.

Carlos T., Tx. — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 04:44:48 GMT

Hi, folks, I'm b-aaa-ck,
Well, judging from the dearth of UFO reports, I'd say the Disclosure Project has put these matters in their proper perspective. Oh, thanks again, Morpheus. Your tip was most valuable. I can rest easier now that my confusion is gone. Probably everyone else who entered into this log feels the same way. And I'm not worried about E.T.'s, since they haven't killed anyone, to my knowledge. I'm more concerned about our own murderous brethren here on this earth.
Oh, I finally became aware of who Mr. Seth Shostak is. He's the director of the SETI project. SETI stands for Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. The key word is 'Search", which implies that nothing's been found yet. Yeah, right! And I have to wonder how they can ever listen to space when there are so many weather, communications, GPS, and spy satellites whirling around in orbit, not to mention passenger and military jets whizzing around?!
I think I saw my first two UFO's ever one day last week over north Austin. Now, I've been near aircraft all my life. Bergstrom Air Force Base at Austin (now closed and made into an international airport) had military jets coming and going all day long. It still does, but civilian ones now. I myself was in the Air Force ('65-'69) and worked on both fighter and cargo planes as a mechanic. I'm 59 years old.
It was late afternoon when I looked up at the sky and saw two shiny metal, cigar shaped craft heading northwest, toward the setting sun. They were at a distance of maybe five miles, at perhaps a 35 degree angle from my position. They weren't flying fast, only about the speed an airliner has after takeoff or when making an approach. What got my attention at first was the shiny metal, because all aircraft are partly or fully painted. Then I looked for wing shapes but couldn't see any. Finally, I studied them for vertical stabilizers but nothing was visible. What struck me further was they were flying the exact same heading at the exact same speed and in a sort of formation, like the lead craft was the point of a triangle and the second craft was the second point, about two to three hundred yards behind and to the right. I also noted they were in level flight, neither ascending nor descending. There was no sound, just two machines slipping along quietly. of course, if the wind is blowing from me toward them, that could account for the silence. Lastly, I saw the sun glinting off the nose section of the lead craft and then again at the aft section (no tail, so no tail section). On the second craft, the sun glinted off the aft section, too. As they departed,I kept watching for wing surfaces or engines, thinking that the different angles would reveal them, but no they looked exactly the same.
If any pilots are out there reading this, what do you think? Are civilian planes allowed to fly that close together, or is that a violation of flight safety rules? They couldn't be military because those are painted in camo. I think I saw UFO's, but I'll welcome explanations to the contrary.

Your UFO sightings

One Proud Monkey — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 16:45:13 GMT

Carlos,

I agree with you on the SETI thing. Way more there to that project than meets the ear. Secondly, the event you described sounds like a "earth" based "non-E.T." event. My reason being here is the consistant movement of the crafts regardless of their close proximity of flight. If you would of said "the objects stopped in mid flight and hung there", or.. "the objects turned at a 90 degree angle, or reverse direction instantly or with great speed" I would then begin to suspect that it was an actual UFO with possible E.T. origin. On the contrary, earth-based craft built on "E.T. Technology". Here is my personal OPM Scale for UFO encounters :)

Level 1) UFO is of alien origin, piloted by Alien Beings. (Extremely Rare Occurrance)
Level 2) UFO is of alien origin, piloted by earth Beings. (Rare Occurrance)
Level 3) UFO is of Earth origin, piloted by Alien Beings. (This would fall under Extremely Rare Occurrance)
Level 4) UFO is of Earth origin, piloted by earth Beings. (Common occurrance, crafts are based on cloned Technology)

Well, that's my 2 cents on the 3 cent subject, take it for what it's worth but I do believe what you saw, just not enough evidence to support a true UFO sighting.

Carlos T., Tx. — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 06:13:01 GMT

OPM,
Thank you for your comment. You may be on target with your level 4. Their flight characteristics closely matched those of earth craft, but yet not quite. Their movement together looked very precise and effortless, as if gravity wasn't affecting them. Only their appearance looked unearthly, since I can't think of any earth craft that matches a cigar shaped, bulky-looking object with no visible means of support. But I know I'll never know for sure because they were just too far away. Maybe next time I'll have a good pair of binocs with me. Best regards.

You're welcome. I believe we are being spoonfed the truth a little at a time in efforts not to "Shock" the public so much. Much of what we see is probably de-classified military projects, although the more time that passes, and the more discoveries we find out in space, our lonely little planet doesn't seem AS lonely anymore.

We've come along way from burning witches at stake, and beliefs that the earth is the center of the Universe... thank the stars. :)

The fact that people do not do the slightest amount of reading or research on the subject of what IS the most important subject of our time, proves that we as a people are still not evolved enough as a species to HANDLE THE TRUTH.

Sherman, Ft. Carson, CO — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 08:00:21 GMT

In response to Ray that was living in at the time was Sundance, Wyoming...

I lived in Casper at the time and the object descended to a hover for a few minutes about 10 feet off the ground and within 50 yards of Jay Barnhill and I. The object had appeared after flying slow and low over Casper and straight towards me while standing on the ground near the airport via Casper Mountain. I am aware that the Natrona County Sheriffs Department dispatched two officers that followed the visible flying object from Casper to Shoshoni after receiving a distress call from Dave Headstrum via an oilfield radio because no one up there had a cell phone back in those days. He reported the object was about 10 feet behind him and chasing his Ford LTD up Yellowstone highway as fast as he could drive. The folks I spoke to the next morning explained what you described to have seen when the object “shot off into space” towards the northeast from near Shoshoni. All off this should have happened to the west of Sundance if we are talking of the same cloudless late summer night incident.

The odd thing about the whole thing was that the Casper paper reported that thousands of reports came in at the time, however after all these years you’re the closest description I have ever seen on the web regarding the incident. I was a roughneck at the time but had already served a tour in the Army and I know what I saw was not “ours”. FWIW, it doesn’t mean anything at the end of the day because life goes on even after you know the truth!

Hi, R. Heard,
The only thing you will get from gov.t documents is a one dimensional view of UFO events. Remember Project Blue Book? One dimensional. It was purposely released that way to give you nothing to base any conclusions on. Gov.t documents will give you nothing to go on either.
What then? We look to the experts. But it turns out that many prominent ones have taken only superficial notice of UFO reports and, strangely enough, like any non-expert would. They deceive us with derisive statements about UFO's non-existence. But we in this log are no longer deceived, thanks to Morpheus. Thanks again, buddy!
As for people who can't handle the truth, it pretty well describes the experts I just mentioned above.
Best regards!

Hi, James S., Carlos T. here, Your question might be better answered if you asked it like this: "Why does the media shy away from UFO reports"? The answer to that one has already been discussed in the posts above. Maybe they're all skeptics and have swallowed the skeptics arguments hook, line, and sinker. Or maybe they're afraid of ridicule from the legions of skeptics who would read what they publish. If the initial report had been "F-89 Downed By Flying Washing Machine!", that would have started the ink flowing. In other words, they're only willing to go into the earthly, not the unearthly. But then again, maybe the G-men "persuaded" them not to do it. A thought struck me a little earlier (no, it didn't hurt). The E.T'.s that crashed here aren't necessarily more intelligent than us, just more advanced. Maybe a few hundred, maybe a few thousand years. And since they did crash, they're spacecraft still have bugs they haven't worked out yet. Yes, I can readily relate to metallic flying objects, even when they're shown dematerializing, such as the two photos taken in Washington state by two schoolboys. But what boggles my mind is the more ephemeral type, the lights that scoot around for a while, then merge together and disappear. I'm not sure where Square One would be for that type of sighting. Best regards, C.T.

Hi Guys, I want to touch on a few things from my last post to respond to what I'm reading. A) I believe what Carlos said about reports being one sided. Do you really think the whole story is viewable in those documents?.. Half of those are blocked out with black ink, and I would like for R.Heard, Stockton to present a link or document that can give conceivable evidence of the matter. On a brighter note, I'm also interested in the "merging lights" sightings.. what are these things? What are they composed of? Who's flyin' em'!!? .. anyhow, I think the more we find out, the more unanswered questions arise. I can understand zero to highspeed, and 90 degree turns on a dime technology.. but merging lights.. c'mon, that's beyond normal. Also, concerning the Kinross case. If in fact the radar reports are accurate, there's alot of hard evidence down there, and any scientific community would be fools not to pursue it. Although, my guess is that that site has already been tainted and probably "cleansed" of all the evidence. ~ OPM

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experiance and hope that if anyone has had a similar experiance to share it with me here. I am 19 years old and have been growing up on the Erie Canal in a small town outside of buffalo since i've been 12. I remember moving into my new home right on the canal when in the naked sky on a bright almost cloudless day a large silver ball was floating. I chased this image from where it hovered over the canal at I would estimate lower then a plane but higher then a fairly tall building. It did not fly like a regular aircraft. There was no smoke or any sign of exhaust. It was shaped in a silver that seemed to large to be a distant plane. Even if it was a plane you can always see the shape and design of it, wings, engine, nose, tail, etc... Its cruising speed also seemed to be quite fast, it appeared slow but left my vision much faster then a plane (as crazy as that sounds). I ran inside and asked my mother who has is a science teacher. She said that one possibilty is sometimes the electrons of different gases when combined can make images, but it is very rare. The way it glided though still convinces me it was infact a solid object. It also looked nothing like a hot air balloon, and those are usually colored I believe so aircrafts dont hit them. Thanks, if anyone knows what I saw report back. James

Carlos T. Austin, Tx. — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 05:35:11 GMT

Hi, OPM, AYE!!! You said it very well when you ventured that the Kinross site would be "cleansed". I don't doubt that when officialdom arrives there, it'll be a fait accompli (a done deal). The circular object will wind up at Area 51 along with the rest. And the F-89? They'll just recover dog tags and leave it rest in the Deep Six. Or they might remove it too to really cleanse the site. That way, there's no tough questions to deal with later. Or text to black out. The scientific community will be none the wiser. You asked about the merging lights. I've given it some thought, and here's what I think. They'd have to come from a more advanced civilization than the ones that create metallic objects. And judging from the way they dart, around and about, rapidly and randomly, without colliding, and suddenly merge into a ball of light which then vanishes, I'd say that those don't crash. They may not even be humanoid. Well, for now, Best Regards!

Hi Carlos, I'm sure there is a little bit of both--diehard skeptics and government persuasion that have prevented the covering of these stories. Could this effort be related to something much bigger. Could it be that the lies and disinfo being told to keep this story underwraps has created a monster all its own, And the releasing of this monster could shake the very foundation of our democracy. For example if there have been recovered disks, there most certainly has been efforts to succesfully reverse engineer these disks. If that is the case, then more than likely many of these vehicles that we are seeing are of earthly origin. This means that we have created a way to free ourselves from earths gravity without conventional means. This means that we have a space program that is more than likely a lie, and our goverment industries are currently wasting billions of taxpayers money just to maintain a lie. I don't know about you, but it bothers the hell of me that two shuttle crews had to die in order to maintain a secret. It also bothers me that there are so called American citizens that will do anything to keep this secret from the public and our congress. If an example for treason was required,this situation would most certainly be a good candidate.

Hi, James S. of Shelton,CT., Whoa, not so fast. I'm not so sure that alien technological processes will be so easily decipherable. Your guess is as good as mine in this, but I think most of it,perhaps all of it, will remain unknown because it's not understood, and can't be understood, yet. For example, the Rosetta Stone's Egyptian symbols (which were unknown) were decipherable only because the same message was written in Greek, which was known. So I think that anyone who has access to alien data will remain at Square One for a very long time. Unless, of course, they persuaded a captured alien to explain it. Best Regards! Carlos T.

Hi Carlos T., Finding a stone with hieroglyphics on it and finding a craft with hieroglyphics are two different things. One you can take apart and examine. Also, some information is already known about the latter (i.e. flys, hovers. extreme performance, etc.). So we know what it does, now just to figure out how it works. Most if not all of the problems could be resolved in a short period of time given the proper resources, a bottomless budget, and sense of urgency, I think we should humans a little more credit with their ability to figure things out. Sorry about the negativity in my previous post. I just don't like being taken advantage of or lied to.

Hi, James S. of Shelton, Ct., Since the point where you brought up the subject of recovered disks, I have been mulling over what's involved in alien technology transfer. The obstacles would be quite large. One problem is compatibility. We can't assume that their data storage and retrieval devices are the same as ours. Our earthly digital CD's are specially made to be read by earthly CD-R optical devices. So even if aliens use disks for data storage, they must be read by alien CD-R's. Our data is binary and digital, but what could theirs possibly be? Unknown. And even if their data is accessed, it's going to look encrypted and will need to be deciphered. This will be necessary because reverse-engineered hardware will not work without the command software. At this point, the captured alien(s), if still alive, would be brought in. And we can't know whether or not the aliens revealed anything, only their captors would know. Regarding captured aliens, I've been wondering how long they could survive on Planet Earth. What do they breathe, what do they eat? Did they send out an SOS before crashing? I'm thinking about the Roswell aliens primarily but any others would be in similar circumstances. They were apparently unarmed when taken into custody. Did they resist in any way, or did they peacefully go along with our security forces? Did they ever try any of their stunts, like body-numbing and will-bending on anyone (keeping in mind their abduction activities)? Unfortunately, no one can answer these questions except those on a need-to-know basis.

James S., Shelton, CT — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 21:49:02 GMT

Hello again, Carlos, I suspect any data stored internally on devices will probably be permanently inaccessible, due the interface and the translation. Some translation will probably happen as the craft is investigated. For example, if a switch is flipped and a light turns on in the cabin--the flipped switch has markings next to it--do you see my meaning? It might not be that simple, but information may be retrieved through this type of investigation, but very carefully, given the possibilities of flipping the wrong switch. Maybe the occupants have already translated earth languages and somehow this might be retrievable. I also suspect any highly advanced beings will more than likely develop data processing and storage devices that are similar to an organic brain. It only makes sense that they would replicate something that has been efficiently designed by nature. Though their nature may be totally alien, there would probably be some similarities. As far as garnering information from the occupants, they would probably not be forthcoming or maybe they only understand how to operate and not the how it works--similar to someone who drives a car. As far as captive aliens and the conduct of Security Forces, the war on terror should give you an indication on how far governments will go to get information. I also don't put any faith in their supposed abilities to do things that are supernatural. There advanced technology probably allows them to do things that appear supernatural. Without it, they are just like you and I.

Hello, James, of Shelton, Ct, Everything you said is well and good, only I would caution you not to underestimate the alien's mental abilities. I have read numerous UFO reports, including abduction reports, since I was a teen in the Sixties. Back then, my very first book on the subject was "UFO's Have Landed!" by George Adamski. Unfortunately, certain photos in his book proved to be hoaxes later. I read a later UFO report which stuck in my mind. I don't remember the particulars of it, just the jist of it. An abductee said that during the course of his abduction, the aliens had communicated with him mentally. They asked him to mentally visualize opening a box so that all its insides would be on the outside. When he failed to do it, they acted disgusted. The point here is that they could see what his mind was doing, or not doing, in his case. Going from this, the aliens may well be capable of giving mental commands to their spacecraft. Going from this, you may enter an alien craft and not find any switches or controls of any kind, just some navigation displays maybe. And going from this, no human could ever pilot a craft that responds only to mental commands. Except maybe David Copperfield. Hows that for advanced?

Hi Carloe, You're right, no human could pilot a craft with mental commands (right now)--but what about humans of the future? Scientist are just now doing experiments on using brain waves to control a mouse on a computer screen. Also, I certainly don't underestimate these ETs abilities given that they are thousands perhaps millions of years more advanced than us. Sure there have been many first hand accounts of the mental abilities of these advanced ETs. How do we know if this is a natural ability or just some sort of technological enhancement? Or maybe a little of both. I suspect that it is more technological. There is MUCH we don't know about the human brain. Could it be that these advanced beings have somehow cracked the brain code which allows them to technologically connect to an organic brain at extreme distances? Since the human brain functions on electrical impulses and nuerons firing to control our body functions and senses, It only makes sense that some sort of external connection to the human brain could be possible.

Heeyy, James of Shelton, Ct., That's a big 10-4. You know, after I typed that message above, it left me feeling a little glum. But the next day, I came upon an article in the latest PCWorld mag. It was about Wi-Fi..And I thought.. maybe the aliens are using a sort of Wi-Fi for their mental commands. And then.. maybe we could too. Yeah, this could happen during the lifetime of some future generation. I've already heard about some rudimentary beginnings of it. I heard about a man who's had a prosthetic device attached which he can control with his mind. He's hard-wired to it, but Wi-Fi would be the next step, wouldn't it? Now I don't feel so glum. By the way, the correct title of George Adamski's book was, "Flying Saucers Have Landed". Sorry about that error. Oh, and Ellen, I sincerely hope that this discussion hasn't caused people with actual UFO reports to shy away. I'd love to hear them. I only hope it's caused die-hard skeptics to shy awaaaay.

Hi, James of Shelton, Ct., or OPM, Where is everybody?! Since there are no UFO's being reported here (they've probably gone to Nuforc), we might as well chime in with our two-cents worth. James, we were discussing where the E.T.'s might get their extraordinary mental abilities. Are they natural, bio-engineered, or technological add-ons or plug-ins? I can think of many scenarios, and they can all be wrong. For example, their brains need not be grey matter like ours, but of another substance (see the movie, "Mars Attacks"):). Maybe their "green" matter helps their visualization. Or maybe they lived in an environment where the air, food, and water favored mental development. Those are two 'natural' explanations. Bio-engineering? You already know our scientists are doing that. Their scientists probably remapped their entire DNA sequence, assuming they're DNA-based, for greater mental abilities. And third, the technological. I strongly suspect that the E.T.'s power to perform their mental 'stunts' comes from their spacecraft. So, if the spacecraft is not in their proximity, or if it crashed, they have no extraordinary powers. To my thinking, the spacecraft is the power source and individual E.T.'s are the repeater stations. But, to begin testing any of this, I'll need an alien cadaver. Has anybody got one?

One Proud Monkey — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 17:38:06 GMT

Hey y'all, (Carlos & James), you both made really good points in reading ur discussion. I have to go along with the idea that alien systems would be undecipherable without the proper equipment to read it. Also, the idea of navigating a ships controls via Wi-Fi of the brain. This would seem much more believable than seeing 3 levers with round knobs on the end of them labeled "Up-Down", "Left-Right", & "Fast-Slow" like our fighter jets fundamentally are. Our aircraft is a joke compared to what they would have, it's no wonder the Kinross aircraft got shot down. But anyhow.. my point to make here is, the de-engineering process may not even be feasable because of the "Rosetta Stone Effect" as I'm calling it. So really all we can do is sit there, look at it, study it, and wish we could create one of our own and fly it.. which I'm sure feable attempts have been made. Area 51 is no longer in Nevada by the way... aliens never did like the dry heat :) Until Next time!, ~ OPM

Carlos , Austin,Tx — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 06:05:53 GMT

Hi, James of Shelton, and OPM, I just had a flash. The mental commands idea may well be the method that the aliens use to zip around as rapidly as they do. And get this... any PC gamer, properly configured, could do the same thing. That is, using the same type of craft. They'd probably love playing that game! So, I have concluded that it is well within our present human capabilities to equal the aliens' performance. But unfortunately, what we don't have at present are the mental interface technology or gravity-nullifying craft... or do we? I just remembered something. If the folks at the Disclosure Project are correct about Zero Point technology, then the Black Project people might well have these gravity-nullifying craft, but equipped with hand contols, maybe. This would mean that the captured aliens did in fact reveal their technology, in whole or in part. This would mean that the Black Project people made an end-run around our Rosetta Stone. *$%#@*$@%!!! Sorry, but I just realized I made a BIG mistake and I'll have to go back a few squares. The Disclosure people said that some people DO possess alien technology. So, some UFO's COULD be piloted by humans. They'd probably be among the slower-moving ones, without the ability to maneuver rapidly ( no mental interface). I apologize again for my blunder. But my deductions of the properties of aliens and their craft still goes.

Your UFO sightings

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Sat, 14 Oct 2006 05:28:30 GMT

Hi again, James of Shelton, OPM, and Any Interested Parties, Well, I believe we've made very good progress here. The statement that I made above, that UFO's were possibly piloted by humans, I now very strongly doubt it. Here's why. It's one thing to possess technology, but it's a whole different ball game to apply it. There are Institutes of Applied Science, Foundations for Applied Technology, and many scientists and engineers throughout many Universities doing R&D in their respective departments, both here and abroad, and they do it very well. But they can only deal with known substances and known quantities. If you present them with unknown alien exotic materials, assembled at alien manufacturing plants with alien manufacturing processes, they will be stumped. They won't have the tools necessary to reverse engineer these alien materials. In other words, it will again be like trying to read an alien CD with an earthly CD Reader. So, to recap, I do believe that certain people do possess alien technology, but they acquired it from captured aliens, not reverse engineering. But they can't do anything with it, so they're just sitting on it and keeping it quiet. Maybe someday. It turned out you were right after all, OPM.

One Proud Monkey — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 13:19:31 GMT

Hello Fellow Space Monkeys :) I like hearing all the ideas behind the ideas here. Especially the whole definition of the word "De-engineered".. this word can only come into play based on the FACT that something unearthly has landed here and recovered for study. I always wanted to look out my backyard and see something strange crash.. go identify it as a ufo complete with alien bodies, call the authories and media to publicize it as such, have a top secret team then come out and clean up the sight, then threaten me to never tell anyone about it, bottle up everyone and change the media's initial response... and then act like it never happened. How come I can't get that lucky to have that happen to me??? When all I want to do is take a trip around the universe and see all the pretty lights in my new anti-gravity corvette!!... Oh well, maybe element 115 don't exist after all! p.s. does S1, S2, S3, and S4 ring a bell to you folks? :) ~ OPM

Your UFO sightings

Carlos, Austin,Tx — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 21:56:24 GMT

Hi, OPM, Yes, I read about element 115, and 112, 114, and 116. I think it was in the Science section at MSNBC.Com, or Space.com, I don't remember. Some lab researchers (in Europe at the Fermi lab, I think) produced them as heavy elements, but they only existed for milliseconds. But as for S1, S2, S3, and S4, they only remind me of the cable connector markings inside my PC. What else do they mean? Now, your comments above made me pause and reconsider my earlier conclusions, just when I thought everything was settled! OK, there IS an outside chance that something was reverse- engineered. I recalled that the Roswell FLYING SAUCER had pieces of material broken off. This indicates that this material had limited tensile strength- it wasn't indestructible. This same material had a property not known of, even today. It was described as looking and feeling like aluminum foil, but when it was crumpled up, it would spring back to its original shape, like a sheet of rubber would, unlike aluminum foil. Wow! It had shape-retention memory! No need to visit the body shop for fender-benders! Also, it couldn't be burned with an open flame. Now, I think it's just barely possible that this stuff could be analyzed. The spacecraft wouldn't have nuts-and-bolts fasteners to disassemble- the mating surfaces would be bonded together at the sub-atomic level, or someplace similar. If the investigators couldn't get access to the inner workings of the saucer with a blowtorch, they might still gain entry through the area with the collision damage. Whether they've learned anything they can use is still anybody's guess. Maybe they have, but I'm still inclined to think not.

Your UFO sightings

One Proud Monkey — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 13:55:31 GMT

Hello Carlos. Using the scientific model here, let's ASSUME that the Roswell craft is REAL, and it was recovered. I have read the articles in detail, and from what I gather, the material was memory metal and an alloy of some type that was not yet known about. Also, I didn't know about the nuts and bolts engineering.. that opened up a whole new can of worms in my head about the design of the craft. It would have had to of been bonded at the molecular level, which would make sense because there would be no drag co-efficient from the awkward surface design. "smooth as a baby's behind" so to speak. This makes total sense. Wi-Fi controlled, but I'm still curious about it's source of power. Nuclear of course, but that could mean many types, Fission? Also, in reference to S1, etc. Those are labels I read about in a skeptical article that that's the names of the hangers at area51 where there are 4 crafts kept of this type, each with their own unique characteristics. I stress the word "skeptical" here. All in all, if I wast granted access to see this craft, I don't think I'd be too shocked, probably pretty excited, and relieved at the reality of its existence.. Hell, I would even put in for a job as an IT Specialist to maintain the experimentation on the craft if I could :) haha! .. never know, it's a big world :D Until next time!.. ~ OPM

Your UFO sightings

Chuck Morris — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 21:27:41 GMT

I was watching MSNBC on Sept. 19th, about 9:30am MST. Norah O' Donnell was interviewing Jay Barberie about the "mystery" object that was floating near the shuttle, while a live feed from NASA was onscreen. First one disc appeared, then more and more, flashing, pulsing, and changing colors. They seemed to be of varying sizes and flew across the screen from many directions and speeds. Norah noticed the objects and asked Jay what they were. He said he didn't know. She then said something like, "Jay? You've been covering the space program for 25 years!" He then told a story about a John Glenn spacewalk and his sweat turning into snowflakes, causing what they were calling "fireflies", at the time. He said these objects were probably ice refracting wildly in the light, or something to that effect.

The action of the objects got more and more frenzied. One object, either larger or closer to the screen, filled the bottom right hand corner of the screen as it flew across, entering the screen at approximately the 6:00 o'clock position and leaving the screen at approximately the 3:00 o'clock position. I noticed that it's center was of a darker color light. The outer part of the disc was kind of orange and the center was a darker color orange. This is when either NASA or MSNBC cut the feed and they switched to a tape of the mystery object. They did not mention the objects again.

I have been researching this online since then. The discs I saw resemble very closely, if not exactly the discs filmed by NASA on Shuttle Mission #STS 75 on Feb 25th, 1996. The shuttle crew's job was to set up a giant tether (12 miles in length) that was designed to gather energy from subspace particles to power a 100 million dollar (defense?) satellite and help it keep it's orbit. They released the tether and powered it up. It seemed to gather too much energy, overloaded and the tether snapped and the satellite floated away as the crew helplessly watched.

As they filmed the tether floating away, literally hundreds of discs shaped objects of varying sizes, colors and speeds came into view on the screen. Based upon the size and length of the tether, it was estimated that some of these discs were huge in size, possibly 2 or 3 miles in diameter. You can clearly see the discs going behind the tether, helping to verify their vast size. You can see this footage yourself on YouTube or Google Video Beta. I watched many versions of the NASA footage (NASA STS 75, known as "The Tether Incident") and this video had the clearest version of the event I've found online. It's called "Evidence: The Case for NASA UFOs, Parts 1 & 2."

http://video.google.com/
videoplay?docid=-5070476612863849446
&q=ufo&hl=en

This is quite a long video with 2 parts. It's slow in parts but very intriguing. I saw the NASA footage some time ago on the Discovery Channel on a documentary about UFO's so it's probably available on DVD somewhere, where the clarity of the video is sure to be better quality than anything one could get on streaming video. I am sure we are being checked out by someone or something not of this Earth. I hope they don't come down and roast us or turn us into cattle or something. I'm going to keep squawking about this until I find more people who saw it!

Hopefully I will find someone who has the complete sequence. The discs I witnessed on MSNBC seemed to be much more colorful and in better focus than what I saw on the NASA Tether Incident video. I attribute this to better cameras onboard the shuttle, because of the need for inspecting heat tiles, etc. before re-entry. Keep looking up folks... we are not alone. UPDATE: Here's some links to video footage related to this story (NASA Shuttle Mission STS 115).

Hi, OPM, James of Shelton, Alan Boyle, and all interested parties, I hope y'all are doing well. Firstly, I'm assuming that the Roswell craft is real because I'm assuming that the first newspaper report on it was true and the second one was not. The first headline was "RAAF Captures Flying Disk...", and the next day they changed it to a weather balloon. Secondly, several parties close to the event corroborated the first report. In reviewing the two conflicting news reports, I decided that the second one was damage control, but in the shape of plausible deniablilty. About the nuts-and-bolts engineering, that's pure guesswork on my part. I was merely projecting ahead about what an alien advanced civilization could be capable of achieving, given that they can whisk so freely through space/time. I can be dead wrong in thinking they could have the means to bond materials at the sub-atomic level. Trouble is, I have to think this way since I can't get any hands-on experience on a flying saucer. Ok, you mentioned drag co-efficient. Sorry, but I can't recall any UFO reports where saucers were affected by drag. They don't make sonic booms, they don't leave contrails, and they don't create slipstreams.How they can move so quickly and silently without disturbing the atmosphere, I don't know. Also, I understand that they can travel underwater in the same way. Now, the power source. I have to go along with George Adamski in thinking that it's electro-magnetic. But a nuclear device is involved too, considering the radiation burns that some observers have received, and the circular burns they've left on the ground in some places. I also can recall some reports of heat exhaust porting out from underneath particular saucers. Oh, about the Wi-Fi...that's only an approximation. I think that an advanced civilization will have developed something on a higher order than that, something we humans haven't discovered yet. That's YET. I'm thinking that we will. Best Regards! C.

Well, I'm going to have to check out some of those MSNBC footages. I'm very good at visual identification and I can tell pretty easily if something looks fake or not. Most of the time footage is deliberately blurred out because the "hoaxers" don't want you to identify the fake elements. There was one actually.. that caught my eye, a piece of footage in Canada, that I don't hear anything about now more, the tape was sent in by an anonymous person.. and it showed this thing.. basically burning up the forest. I have to day, if it was Earth based, it was quite strange. Not sure where that footage is at, but if it's anything like the MSNBC thing, it was pretty believable. I'm more interested in learning about the existance of aliens because.. they probably have some pretty damn cool video games... don't you think?? .. I mean, c'mon, really, think about the kind of entertainment they got goin' on?.. :) sorry, had to poke a little fun there :)... Chuck, I'll check out ur video and let you know what I think... Carlos, water resistant, i heard of the one during the disclosure project witness, said the one in Alaska came right out of the water then took off... very believable, have to assume the ship has a field around it protecting it from external elements. Very intriguing, would like answers. ~ OPM

Hi, y'all, Mr. Morris, I saw the film you referred us to, and I have to say it hit the target dead center. The physics part that is, not the part about Sirius, the Dog star. That last part didn't even hit the target. My Messiah is no mere spaceman! And I will have no part of any New Age Egyptian kingdom. That said, Mr. Serena's physics perfectly explains all the UFO sightings that I'm aware of.It goes like this: depending on how much the saucers power up, they can be visible as balls of light, or they can dematerialize altogether. When they power down, their metallic matter form can be seen. Oh, and OPM, get this: the saucers travel through air or water without disrupting it in the same way electricity would but with one big difference. Electricity is limited by the speed of light, whereas the saucers' faster-than-light technology (in multiples)isn't. Basically, they overcome air and water the same way they overcome gravity- with lots of power. Now. How do we build one of these things, you engineers out there? Your electro-magnetic engine will have to equal (or exceed?) the event horizon, as Mr. Serena pointed out. What about metals? Will titanium do? Well, g'bye y'all. Best Regards. C.

Woahhh Woahh.. Carlos, you gotta help me out here, I understand intermediate physics, chemistry, astrophysics.. but you lost me a little bit there when you said the vehicle itself "which is physical material" not energy, phases through air and water the same as electricity. This eludes my thought process on how that is done... the object would have to basically become impervious to physical resistance. How can this be done!!!? What type of field could exist, that would let an object phase through matter, as if it wasn't there? .. whew! .. I need to go smoke a big @#$@ and ask Einstein for some help on that one. But, I follow what your saying as far as the theory of operation, but how how this is accomplished especially involving the power it takes to create an event horizon type of energy is beyond my scope! ~ Confused but determined to understand OPM :)

Good Evening Carlos & OPM! Thanks for your comments on my post. Maybe the vast amount of power needed for "them" to do all of the amazing things they do comes from their ability to access and control Zero Point Energy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

I know what you mean about the wacky stuff towards the end of the David Sereda video. It's out there, although I got a good song name out of it! The science part was very compelling though. "The Galaxy Clock" was very interesting. How the Galaxy Clock and the spiral energy patterns seen in the discs (NASA Tether Incedent, STS 75) correlate was intriguing. Chuck M.

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 08:58:50 GMT

Hi,OPM, and Hi, Chuck M., Well, I'm getting a much better idea of what the 'advanced' in 'advanced alien tchnology' really means. I think you are too, OPM. Don't worry about what's beyond your scope- it's beyond everybody's scope. What Mr. Sereda is saying is that at an event horizon, the C-squared in Einstein's equation becomes, if not C-cubed, multiplied a number of times. That in turn makes the 'E' much more energetic and the mass(M) becomes lighter. Now, if you power up the energy factor (that has to be where the atomic energy comes in), then the mass becomes light enough to travel faster than light. It also disappears from the visible spectrum. Let me add at this point that I can comprehend all this using elementary algebra. I'm not a scientist, physicist, or engineer. Heck, this CosmicLog was what brought me back to this topic after many years of absence. I just got my Intro. to Zero Point Energy, compliments of Mr. Morris. And I really do thank you for it, sir. Anyway, all I have done is to draw a broad topical outline to better understand the saucers' activities. To sum up, these alien craft are not operating according to our laws of physics, but outside of them, according to their to their quantum laws. Any physicists out there, please feel free to correct any of this. Best Regards! P.S. This still says nothing about the alien's extraordinary abilities. C.

One Proud Monkey — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 15:07:54 GMT

Ok, Chuck, Carlos... let's discuss a bi-product of one of these crafts existence. I listened to Sereda, and read about ZPE (Zero Point Energy). Suppose Sereda is correct, and someone has a craft, or technology capable of this. Imagine this.. Imagine, a science & technology show, and on display, was a real life, anti-gravity craft. What do you think would happend?.. In my mind, you'd have every government on the planet, trying to steal or access this craft for their own devious or experimental purposes... this is most likely why whoever has this craft, or technology CANNOT, expose it.. it would be so dangerous to allow the wrong hands to aquire it, that there MUST be a security contingincy in place, even plausible deniabily from congress, the president, and other bodies of government law enforcement. See, to me.. if this technology is real, and aliens are real.. and ufo's do exist.. which I do they do... it cannot be disclosed, or a war would be started over it. I myself would like to see it exposed to help the world, but.. it's like nuclear energy, it's a blessing and a curse. How about your thoughts on the matter? ~ OPM

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 07:57:32 GMT

Hi,OPM, and Hi, Chuck M., Well, I feel I've reached a plateau, for the second time. The questions I had foremost in my mind regarding alien craft have been resolved to my satisfaction. Henceforth, if I should ever see a saucer, I will think..."Mmm..Hmm, that's quantum physics in action". With this understanding, they will mystify me to a much lesser extent. But I'll still wonder what their purpose is for being here. There are so darned many of them and they all seem intent on watching us. Maybe we're their sole source of entertainment. Maybe their existence has gotten a little too boring and this is how they get their ooh's and aah's. Oh, and OPM, I'm not concerned about alien technology getting out of hand. Not in anybody's lifetime, anyway. I'm convinced that it can't be replicated with present earthly materials and that the processes that make it all work will remain unknown for a very long time. There just won't be any way to apply it. But on the other hand..., I still have this nagging doubt that, against astronomical odds, there could still be a breakthrough. Also, there's a slim chance that a downed saucer could be repaired and made operational. But I'm doubtful about that too. Best Regards! C.

Hi Guys, Carlos, you mentioned some "maybe" scenarios... Here's one for you that might make you laugh. "Maybe, the Grey's are us in the future. Let us hypothesize that Mankind, due to his abuse of fossil fuels and the atom, is forced to live underground. (work with me here:) Because of major advances in science and technology, Man will be able to live underground and have all the energy, clean water and food needed to survive. Not to mention a little genetic engineering, to weed out the things we wouldn't need underground and maybe weed some things in that we might need (like telepathy and small grey bodies). Don't forget to breath if you're laughing too hard! OK, stay with me here... Also, Mankind might realize how divisive our differences (like skin color) are and want to make us all the same. Then, at some point way in the future, the Grey's/Us realize they may have made a mistake making everyone the same, I mean, how boring! Needless to say that we invent technology that can fly a craft faster than light, and therefore we/they able to traverse time. So, they come back in time to interact with us and to look down at us and say, "Holy cow, I'm related to that freakin thing???"

OPM, I think I agree that Mankind, as we think now, are to immature to handle the truth. We still react from the reptile, flight or fight mentality that helped us when we were cavemen. Basically, we're cavemen with technology. I would say that we might represent a danger to the rest of the galaxy if we were allowed to roam around. And of course that is only if we could agree on how to use the technology and not have wars over it. We would have to really have an epiphany (as a race) and realize that we only hurt ourselves when we don't help ourselve's... the ole "We're all on the same big boat" thing.

Hi Chuck M., Hi, OPM, Well, Chuck, that's quite a yarn you got there. No, I wasn't laughing since it can only be thought of as fiction, science-fiction: it posits one outcome among many possible outcomes. It reminds me of movies such as, '2001: A Space Odyssey',which covers a long period of events; 'Total Recall', in which the inhabitants of Mars live underground; and even H.G.Wells' 'The Time Machine'. Incidentally, fiction writers ARE granted their artistic freedom. I too have pondered the origins of the greys and I too considered if they were from our future. But I now think they are gen-u-ine Alien Life Forms (A.L.F.)'s. Here's why: some paleontologists remarked that if nature had been kinder to the dinosaurs, the Velociraptors (which are thought to have been intelligent) might well have been the intelligent species of this earth. That's reptilian, not mammal. That scenario must have played out on some other world. Moreover, since the greys look more reptilian than mammal, I must conclude that they're from elsewhere and not from us. But this is still all fiction, right? You're not going to Hollywood with this, are you? If you are, I want my share!? :) Best Regards! C.T.

Hey Chuck, Carlos, other intersted parties: I think that we here that sit around this round table, understand what we "Should" do, in the even this technology is aquired, or developed, and the contingencies that we would have to put in place in such case. The hypothesies that you bring here shed light on the possibilities of the impossible. If who better to converse about the subject, then a group of guys that thrive on the thought of new discovery. I myself, believe that the universe is too small for just one civilization, and we should all be taught from a very small age this same ideal.. to prepare us for the inevitable.. the discovery of an "un-earthly" species.. I say that, because to the aliens.. we are aliens as well, and that term is a little discriminatory to me :). If there is one.. if there is a reverse engineered craft, I want to see it.. touch it, look at it.. and wonder who could of built or designed such an advanced craft.. and any government that has it, should use it for peaceful scientific purposes only.. of course, we have the fanatics.. the "Hitlers" so to speak.. and they must not be allowed access to things that powerful. Also, you guys ever watch the old "Star Trek" with captain Kirk.. I have to say.. those were some of the sexiest alien women I've ever seen in my life :) Lucky bastard :) haha! And one final question to ponder.. if I were to meet an alien.. my first question would be.. "Does your race believe in a Supreme being?" :) ~ OPM

Hi, OPM, Chuck M., Hope you're all doing well, Chuck, I'm letting the Sociological end of this down to rest for a bit because I just got a technological flash. OPM, do you recall when we discussed alien memory metal? I was thinking about it when it dawned on me that that kind of metal would be absolutely essential for a craft to handle an event horizon type of setting. Any other material would self-destruct. And here's another point: all these materials at Roswell were described as being very light- not only the craft's skin, but the small I-beams. There's a purpose for this: it reduces mass. A smaller mass will enable quicker power-ups and require less energy. Here's an important point regarding the aliens themselves which I had totally overlooked- and that is time. Time slows down for those using this power, which means the aliens have very long lifespans, within their saucers, and accordingly, can accrue a lot of knowledge. Well, gotta go. CT

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 08:34:36 GMT

Hi Everybody, After reviewing my post above, I realized I made an error on the last phrase: the one that says,"and, accordingly, can accrue a lot of knowledge". Actually, longer lifespans will not make them more productive because the slower time would also slow their activities down- to a snail's pace, really, in comparison with the outside world. But slower time will indeed slow down the aging process. You know, as I think about what the aliens have constructed, I feel very awed by it. They create these miniature black holes, somehow contol them, install them in their space ships, and use them as their drive engine. In addition, they construct a ship out of a wonderous metal that can withstand the fierce forces of a black hole. It may also resist radiation like it resists fire. (At this point, I'm wondering if a miniature black hole is less fierce than a massive one.) Well, one last thought. They apparently thought that mass reduction was important enough to incorporate into their spaceships. Could it have been important enough that they reduced the mass of their own bodies as well? If so, that would account for their frail look. That would be an adaptation. What else would they adapt? Does that grey skin serve a purpose? What about those big black bug- eyes? Well, I'm fresh out of ideas, so I'll leave you now. CT

Chuck M., Aurora CO — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 15:56:13 GMT

Good Morning! Both of you guys blew my mind. OPM, your question about whether they believe in a supreme being, excellent. I think they might have different ideas about that, just like us. Wouldn't it be a trip if they were Morman? A little joke referencing a South Park episode... And Carlos with the time factor element, very interesting. As far as living longer in their craft, it makes sense. It's like they would bypass the laws of time. It would suck to be cooped up for long periods of time in their craft though. Maybe that's why they like to walk around down here sometimes, like getting out and stretching after a long trip. Also, maybe where they're from, time passes slower or faster. Fellas, I've been watching a lot of UFO video on Google Video and You Tube. I'm seperating the videos by date (the latest posted first). There are a huge amount of videos out there that do not look like they were faked to me. Some of them are amazing. It's hard for me to believe that all of these folks have the expensive computer hardware and software, not to mention the knowledge needed to pull off believable fakes. I've also watched several videos purporting that UFO's are real, including the "Disclosure" video and book (extremely compelling and believable) and several others. The incedent I witnessed on MSNBC (disc shaped crafts on a live NASA feed of STS 115) is what inspired me to investigate this phenomenon via the internet. I am convinced that we are being visited by beings from afar, mostly friendly it seems. Maybe they aren't killing us because they're benevolent or they have their own agenda that might not benefit us in the long run. Or it's a combination of friendly and non-friendly aliens, all races with different biologies, beliefs, knowledge, technology, etc. Kind of like here on Earth. Different shaped craft with different capabilities... Ford Pinto (the one that crashed at Roswell :), Chevy Chevette... Here's some questions I would have for them. They say the galaxy is ever expanding. What is the highest speed at which you can travel and have you traveled to the galaxies expansion point, the line between galaxy/no galaxy? Can you travel between dimensions? Have you seen Elvis latley? Can you go back and forth in time? Speaking of time, I think it's about time for someone to do a documentary about the exploding number of UFO sightings being captured on video and have some experts have a look at the footage and give their opinions. Ya hear that MSNBC? History Channel? Fox??? Anyone??? Time to get back to work! Regards, Chuck M.

Hey Chuck, Carlos, other inquiring minds :). I agree with chuck, the public would like to know what we are seeing. So what if they are real, I read an article once that stated, if people found out the existance of aliens are real, would they let it affect their day. The result predominately, "No, It wouldn't". Plus people's religous beliefs weren't to affected either. I believe as an analogy... we are to aliens, as dinosaurs are to us... we wouldn't even be work destroying. Taking a few people for examination now and then, or for erotic alien purposes, I could see haha! .. But for the most part, we are just fish in a fishbowl to them, I imagine. On the technical side. Wow on the questions and ideas put forth. Agree on memory metal, must have dynamic physcial properties to withstand dynamic environments/stresses. Elvis, he WAS an alien :), The tiny black hole powering the ship. This is the only powersource that I would agree could enable a ship to jump through or pass through tiny wormholes to a specific point in "time" AND "Space". You know, with this power, does the ship even really move at all? .. it seems with this kind of power, travel to any point in space and time would be instantaneous, and not even need to physically move, just the coordinates of time and place you want to go to. But, time travel to us right now is not even capable. Perhaps you can't travel back in time, but only to a place at the SAME time.??? Ponder this, get back with me.. ~ OPM :)

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 04:51:52 GMT

Hello, fellow Investigators, The aliens thought they'd kidnapped Elvis,...turned out he was an Elvis impersonator! :) Well, first an observation: and that is that the aliens have never been reported to wear clothes. There are two explanations: either they are immodest or the grey skin is actually 'clothes' of a sort. If it's the latter, I'd reckon it's a membrane they wear that protects them from the elements, radiation, etc. If not, then it's plain old lizard skin. And the bug-eyes remind me of sunglasses. OPM, I thought your analogy to fish in a fish bowl was excellent. That reminded me of ants in an ant farm. And Chuck, you mentioned that the galaxy is expanding- actually, ALL the galaxies are expanding away from each other, and nobody knows why. From your casual statement,though, a theory occurred to me as to why this happens. I know this doesn't concern aliens, but please bear with me. The galaxies are drifting apart because they're being displaced by something. Could it be that dark matter and dark energy are still issuing out from the point of origin of the Big Bang? If so, the Big Bang was actually the Big Rupture. Then the next question becomes, 'The rupture of what?'. Trouble is, dark matter and dark energy can't be observed or measured (steps one and two of the scientific process), only their effects on the observable universe are. And OPM, I really don't believe that Time can be reversed. Maybe you can speed it up or slow it down but it only flows one way. The universe is 14 1/2 billion years old and it's not getting any younger. And even the alien's travel technology doesn't indicate that they travel anywhere instantly- they just get there much faster. Now, that's going by the disc-shaped ones. There are other UFOs, giant flying triangles, which we know nothing about.

Carlos & the Gang, poor Elvis impersonator, must of gotten extensively and painfully probed before the truth was revealed :)! Well, environmental suits seem feasable, I mean, all living beings are of flesh and blood, and of some type of circulatory system so I would imagine they would need to protect that the same way our astronauts do, just in a more advanced way. The big eyes could very well be radiation protective lenses rather than actual retinas. Expanding Universe Theory: moreso important than the idea that the universe is expanding, because we know it is, and quantum physics has yet to explain the mechanics behind it, is the idea of.. what's past the outer edge of the universe? What's behind it? .. nothing? .. something? .. everything in the universe, even itself, must have a beginning and an ending. Could it be that our universe is a bubble, and rubbing up against our universe is another one.. and so on and so on? Like atoms pressed against one another, and our idea of a big universe.. is actually small. If I think about this too hard, I get dizzy because of not knowing what's past this point and is seemingly too big for my miniscule mind to comprehend :) I agree with the idea that time can't be stopped or utilized in a reverse manner, and is only continual and linear in nature. The aliens can move faster, to slow time down for themselves as in the theory of relativity so true teleportation seems unfeasable, although not unimaginable. One ending statement. If what the astronauts are seeing out there in space, and what's being recorded at Norad are indeed extra-terrestrial vehicles, I want to be involved in the program to understand them better. It's crazy how we rely on technology today that is probably so out-dated, that even the dinosaurs should be watching Oprah. :) Till Next time ~ OPM

Hello, fellow Inquirers, Bubble universes, OPM? You must have read that article in National Geographic a year or two ago. I came across it in my doctor's waiting room. I also came across it in another magazine, possibly Popular Science. Intriguing theory, isn't it? And thanks for the timely reminder. Here's an important point to keep in mind: Einstein's physics only applies up to, or less than (<) the speed of light. It doesn't apply to events greater than (>) the speed of light, if I understand it correctly. This means that we can't explain or understand what's involved in faster-than-light technology, except maybe with quantum physics. Thus far, I haven't received word from the gurus. And this is why I say we can't build one of our own saucers. They're simply too far advanced. One last thought: I wouldn't trade places with any alien. We live in a beautiful world. Even with all it's woes and sorrows, the backdrop is always beautiful. It's better than what the aliens have- the inky black void. Maybe that's why they're here- to admire it. Best Regards! CT

Hi All, On the time thing... maybe it's cyclicle. It might help to explain Deja Vu. Thinking about space/time boggles my mind also, OPM. Before the Big Bang, was there nothing? That is hard for me to comprehend. What about infinity, both outwards towards space and inwards? I'm not sure what the smallest thing is that scientists have discovered (quark?) but it's smaller than the atom. And what is that thing made of and so on? Do we all live in a quark in an atom in a table leg in some other dimension? Horton Hear's a Who! Those are a few more questions I have for our distant space relatives. I bet if you asked them, "What is the meaning of life and why do we exist?", they would probably look at you blankly and shrug their shoulders (if they have shoulders) and make the facial expression, "I don't know". OPM, I agree, they are the kid and we are the ant farm (reminds me of a Far Side cartoon). On the traveling without moving... a real mind blower. Your hypothesis makes sense to me. Maybe the black hole in the center of the crafts are tiny versions of the big ones and they allow travel between dimensions as well as vast distances in space. They say that all information is lost in a black hole, never to be seen again. That is hard to fathom. It's easier to imagine that the information is transfered to somewhere else, another dimension perhaps. On the Dark matter subject... another thing that is beyond my pea brain. It makes one realize how insignifigant and small we really are. There is so much we don't know. Maybe Dark Matter is a way to access going backwards in time. OK, now that's just plain stupid! Are Dark Matter and black holes connected in some way? Guys, I'm getting a brain freeze... thinking too hard. The fact that we are here at all still blows my mind. Existance... what a trip. Keep the deep thoughts coming guys! Regards, Chuck

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 01:30:45 GMT

Hello, folks, Well, Chuck, I'd like to help you unfreeze your brain by telling you that I've also wrestled with those same questions that you posed above. The meaning of life is not, and can't be anymore, a part of my inquiry. This is due to my Faith- the Truth of which did set me free. If this isn't clear to you, I urge you to seek It out- ASAP. As for the cosmic questions, they're mostly unknowns. Don't waste too much of your time speculating on them. What I try to do is stick to the known facts. Don't try to cross bridges you haven't reached yet. And you can't reach a good conclusion without the facts to support it, right? Now, about Deja Vu, I have a theory.. ( hey, everybody else has one, why can't I?!) :). Actually, I have two: a) there's a short-circuit in your synapses, and b) a stray cosmic ray went through the memory part of your brain and triggered a reaction. You see, I've had Deja Vu and it's never amounted to a dust particle. Best Regards! CT

Hello Gang, after reading those last posts I can see that we are definitely going to need more coffee :) Yes, I saw that on the cover of a magazine once about the bubble universes :) made me think alot. Let me begin by saying I agree with Carlos in the fact that we cannot, under any circumstances, mix religion and scientific fact here together. What I think our goal here is to understand not who or what created the Universe, but what it is (composed of), it's limitations, what we can do within it physically, and who else lives in it with us. Even just understanding a little part of that I'm sure will make my head swell, especially after the ideas put forth by Chuck up there :) Ok, now my thoughts about faster-than-light speed. Remember the thought of "sound barrier"? Nobody thought we could break that. Perhaps lightspeed is the same way. Speed itself may be infinite, and we just haven't been able to measure anything that moves FASTER than light. I'm definitely not sure on this and am purely speculating at this point. However, if that is true, then a completely new set of rules must be created to govern this type speed. I also have another theory. Things are designed in the universe to be the way they are... take light itself. It's physical properties alone make it able to move as fast as it does. If we were to move as fast as light, we wouldn't have bodies to weigh us down so much. Therefore, if I am going to make my body move as fast as light, I would have to convert it into some type of energy, or shield myself from the outside world so that my body mass appears to be just about the weight of a photon. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, in order to travel the speed of light, I believe a craft must be converted to almost zero mass. How this is done, is beyond me, but if it can be done, I think anything is possible, perhaps even faster-than-light speed. About the sizes of the universe, big and small.. I believe that the smallest thing in the universe is some type of energy, not particle, that brings the surrounding quarks together that make up an atom. The "glue" of it all so to speak. There is an outer edge, probably the same edge as defined by the dark energy in the universe that's making it expand. Still can't tell u what's behind it though. I'll need to think more on that one. More to say, but gotta go for now! ~ OPM

Speaking of Deja Vu, I thought I posted this before... HAHAHA!

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 07:51:17 GMT

Hello, fellow Enquirers, Well, I think it's time to bring my posts to a close. I have no more facts to contribute and all my resources are played out. I believe I've reached the final plateau. But I'll be leaving greatly satisfied with the results of the conclusions we've reached here. With this information in hand, I will not be deceived by the wild claims that are made by other less knowledgeable parties. I hope you won't be either. Let's recap. Did a flying saucer crash at Roswell? You bet it did! We know this because the memory metal found at the site exactly matches what we now understand is an essential component of the black hole technology used by the flying disks (thank you, Mr. Sereda! and thank you, Chuck M.!). Are there any man-made saucers? Sorry but, no! That's because the black hole science and technology used by the saucers exceeds, perhaps far exceeds, our own science and technology's abilities to create one. No one could make a duplicate, not even our top scientists. With this, I'm betting that the Black Project people can't even scratch the surface of how a saucer operates. And upon further reflection, I've decided that any captured aliens died soon after capture without revealing anything. Here's why: If the aliens had lived- in order to understand the advanced physics which aliens possessed, the services of the top physicists of 1947 would have been necessary. Einstein would surely have been tapped for this task, along with Oppenheimer and many others on the nuclear project. But there is absolutely no indication this ever happened. Einstein continued looking for his General Theory of Relativity and Oppenheimer continued his nuclear research. So then, we can safely assume that without any assistance of aliens, the secrets of the flying saucers' technology are still safely locked up within them. Are the Disclosure people correct in assuming that Zero Point Energy has been mastered? I'd say no, they're assuming far too much. Well, I'll stop here. This is getting too long. I'll finish up on the next post. Best Regards! CT PS- Ellen, what did you see in the daytime? C

Hello, Everyone, Well, where do I start? My approach to this dialogue was always the scientific one of logical deduction. As Mr. Spock would say, with a straight face and a raised eyebrow, "That is quite logical, Captain". It didn't fail us. We arrived at the truth. Always remember Plausible Deniablity, because it's still being used by certain 'experts' and by the media to discredit the UFO reports, which are the truth. Most of the time, the media is really interested in a sensational story anyway, not the reality of UFOs. For more on this, visit Stanton Friedman's dot com website. I greatly admire that man. But the media is not all bad- the movie "Fire in The Sky" was very well done. Also, beware of UFO websites. I perused a few and found some to be sensationalistic as well. Others were just plain science fiction. Forewarned is forearmed. Now, regarding the F-89 at Kinross, why was it flying alone? I thought that regulations called for a wingman?

One Proud Monkey — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 14:23:42 GMT

Quick Question,.. why wouldn't aliens pick a select few peons here on planet earth to teach them their ways, and technology? I would guess that these stick people would want to lend us a hand in our time of need.. and trust me .. WE NEED guidance. The world right now needs a unified goal. Charles S. Pierce, philosopher of late 1800's proposed that the people of this world need a giant goal, one in which we have yet to decipher. I know for a fact, it cannot be a religious goal either, and the radical thinkers of that notion just as well be lined up to the firing squad. Do I doubt god? .. no, do I doubt the goal of the human race at this point?.. yes.. we don't one and it needs to be created, and pointed out so that all of us could work towards creating something larger than ourselves, instead of destroying each other. Anyhow... aliens probably read Pierce's books and actually thought about it for a second.. that's why they actually have a space corvette... ~ OPM

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 22:19:37 GMT

Hi, OPM, Your unified world goal is an excellent proposition. I would promptly second the motion, provided that the principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are also included. I would have to insist upon a free and democratic world. But therein lies the rub. In the past, we've had to face ideologies which were vehemently opposed to those principles, the most recent being the Communist Empire. Today, we're facing threats from a religion-based ideology, this one emanating from the Middle East. To me, they both smell the same, with their hostility to intellectal discourse. But this last one likes to cloak itself in sanctity, which is laughable. As an aside, changing the members of Congress is not going to solve this problem. Threat level orange will still remain. Now, the aliens should know better than to hand us their double-edged sword technology. There are hostile groups right now diligently striving to obtain nuclear technology so as to threaten other folks with it. It would be the same with alien technology. Perhaps if the 'holy' warriors went away and world hostilities ceased, they (aliens) might feel prompted to act. Fat chance! Now, regarding my last two posts, I've decided that it's not over yet. I resolved the main focus of my inquiry, which was to find solid scientific footing so as to accurately discriminate between fact, fiction, and gross exaggeration. For example, I can see now that the UFO websites I've visited recently closely resemble the tabloid newspapers at the grocery check-out. More on that later. Best Regards! CT

One Proud Monkey — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 18:14:17 GMT

Hey Carlos, other readers. I definitely agree that radical minded groups, religious or not should never have access to such technology. Lately here though, I feel it's an inevitable and impending situation. It's only a matter of time before these determined countries develop things such as nuclear weapons on their own, and there's nothing to stop that at this point, other than to go in and totally annihialate them. The way I see it... if these countries are so determined to aquire it for "energy purposes", why don't we have a world power organization? Call it the (WPO), that creates energy for all countries in the world and safely distribute it, and solve the issue entirely. Oh, but wait, the energy thing is just a cover up to create nuclear weapons, forgot about that!... The greatest change, comes at the edge of chaos. I believe that nothing in this world will positively change until a majority of GOOD people change what is wrong with the world, and work together towards a unified worldly goal. I am only one person, but one to show the rest the way is all u need. My next post will be more science related, and not so politically incorrect. :) ~ OPM

Hi,all. OPM, You brought up some very interesting points. Were they Charles S. Pierce's or yours? I know the better-known philosophers, but I don't know him. That WPO idea is a new one on me. I would hope it would work better than the U.N. does. Oh, watch out for philosophers- they've all managed to put a strain on people's credulity. And they've wreaked havoc on the credulous ones. My take on philosophy is that it's for amusement purposes only- mental exercises. And guess what? EVERYbody considers themselves good people. The problem is that the people we consider bad people also consider us bad people. Just like the Red Menace, they intend to bring us down and take over the world by force. So much for working together. And the clash of ideas continues... Well, next time I'll have some suggestions about the alien technology's other possible capabilities that you might find interesting.

Hey Carlos, others.. the only idea that isn't mine is the idea of a world goal. The rest is of course of my own originality. I like to think of myself as a leader instead of a follower, yet I think we are all students to the wise. I understand what you're saying about good/bad people. Those that are crazy don't KNOW they are too :) I do have some inquiries that I wish I knew about. The structure of the craft I believe is a metal of some type, but of what type? Elements? If it is in fact metal, how durable is it to structural damage? Obviously if the one at Roswell crashed, it must not be impervious. But, then again.. who's to say it crashed from damage, and not a flight/electrical/guidance malfunction? Anyhow, I guess I'm going to analyze this thing mentally from the outside in.. Also, if one of these things landed, what affect does it have on the surrounding environment/wildlife/plants.. because of the residual radiation.. if any. Questions unanswered :) ~ OPM

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Sat, 18 Nov 2006 08:02:00 GMT

Hi, OPM, and all Analysts, You pose very interesting and provocative questions; provocative in that my mind mind sets off in many different directions looking for possible answers. Then, I have to dismiss those that are too wildly speculative because there aren't enough facts to support them. So mainly, I'm sticking to the UFO reports and using them as a reference because that's where the facts are. At the same time, I'm keeping Mr. Sereda's analysis firmly in mind because it is extremely valuable to our inquiry. About the Roswell crash, and any others, yes we can draw some conclusions from them. Such as: Things can go wrong for the aliens too. They're not above Murphy's Law, which says: 'If anything can go wrong, it will'. I'd say they crashed because they lost power, and they lost power because they ran out of fuel (nobody remembered to check the fuel gauge?). At this point, here's another UFO report we can draw conclusions from: an eyewitness said he saw a flying saucer hovering a short distance from the ground. He noticed that it was swaying gently to-and-fro in the breeze. This observation reinforces what we already know: that these craft are very low mass- very light. But, these craft can only suffer damage when they lose power. It is at this point that Newtonian physics takes over. I really doubt that anything can damage them in their quantum state. Well, more later. Regards! CT

Hi, All, OPM, I decided you're probably right about the crash being caused by an electrical malfunction, since it's not likely the aliens would overlook their fuel supply. Something unexpected must have happened which caused a power loss, such as, for example, the failure of a magnetic- induction gizmo. By the way, you can expect me to be second-guessing myself pretty often since I'm basically feeling my way along in a process of elimination. But I'm pretty sure a power loss is what leads to saucer crashes. Except for the one at Kinross. Now, as to the hazards to the environment from saucers, the reports vary widely. They range from minimal (the crop circles) to extensive, like the radiation burns some people have received. More later. Regards! CT

Hey Carlos, as a process of elimination in regards to earth aircraft. What usually goes wrong when an F117 Stealth fighter crashes? .. You got, 1) Pilot Error 2) Navigational/Flight Control/Electrical and/or Power Failure, and 3)shot down. I think any air/spacecraft suffers from these same dangers, and I agree that if that craft were to lose power.. all hell would break loose, and it would be vulnerable at that point. You mentioned "Quantum State", if in fact when a craft is powered up it changes it's qualitative properties, then I could see it being resistant to many atmospheric/physical hazards. Take that away, and then it's zero mass now becomes.. well, MASSIVE, and can't fly anymore and goes down like a cannon ball to the sea. These of course.. are my speculative guesses and I need to see one in person to get a look at how it runs. I don't really care if aliens exist, I just want to know if they look as good as our Miss Universes :) haha! Until Next time ~ OPM

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 11:52:20 GMT

Hello All, and OPM, Ok, let's discuss what 'quantum state' is. Newtonian physics do not apply to these craft. They're not affected by gravity, air density, water density (maybe a little), or laws of motion( such as inertia or momentum). Water molecules can't adhere to them, so they don't get 'wet'. They can dematerialize (their matter becomes energy) when they power up, or materialize, suddenly appearing out of nowhere when they power down. Depending on how far they power down, they can appear as metallic craft or as glowing balls of light. That's in the atmosphere. Hmmm, it just occurred to me that in the water they're most always seen in their metallic form. Radar only detects them when they're in the visible spectrum. There are probably more features that can be added but I'll stop here. Now OPM, I'm sure that our gov't. has assigned their experts to study this phenomenon and that they've already puzzled all this out. They just haven't told us! Now, about the Roswell saucer, it didn't fall like your cannonball. Rather, it came down at a very shallow angle of approach, call it a controlled crash, at very high speed. It hit the ground and caromed back into the air, leaving debris behind. It again hit the ground further on and again careened into the air. The next time it touched down, it crashed into the embankment of a ravine and partly embedded itself there. That's what I gather from all the reports. It was pretty violent. I also gather that all the alien crew members were killed except for two- one was badly injured but the other one was ambulatory. They were all taken into custody by the RAAF (Roswell Army Air Force).

Hi All. OPM, still there? I've been at a loss for ideas lately, but I just got a hot news flash that will boggle your mind. It sure did mine. I think I've solved the mystery of the aliens' grey skin. Ready? Brace yourself. Remember the memory metal we discussed? All the disk saucers must have it in order to keep from being annihilated by their own propulsion system. Well, the memory metal is what the aliens are wearing too, or rather, a variation of it. It's even a metallic grey color.(Have you picked yourself off the floor yet?) Without the memory 'skin', they too would be turned into zeroes. I would expect that their 'sunglasses' also serve this purpose. By the way, going from this, I also expect that any human who attempts to pilot one of these disks beyond the visible spectrum can expect to be turned into zeroes, not having the protection of memory skin. To sum this up, both the disk and the crew inside must have the memory element to protect their structural integrity in a massless environment. Fascinating stuff, isn't it? Wow, do the aliens have some cool moves, or what? Now, would you care to know how I reached this conclusion? Thanks, I'm glad you asked! It was the word 'ambulatory' that I used in a previous post that struck me as odd. Only today I was thinking, "How could an alien be ambulatory in earth's gravity, unless they also use it in their saucers"?- because in weightlessness their muscles would atrophy and prevent them from walking on Earth. But then again, they couldn't execute a 90-degree high-speed turn because that inner gravity would kill them. This brought me to see that the aliens' bodies are also personally quantumized and therefore must also use a memory element. Bingo! That's the primary purpose of the grey skin. Unfortunately, that still doesn't tell me how they can walk on Earth.

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 07:04:40 GMT

Hello, All. Since OPM, or his PC, are indisposed, I'll nevertheless continue with some observations and conclusions. I have a tentative answer to how aliens walk on Earth. It has to concern anti-gravity or perhaps more accurately, null-gravity, since this effect derives from high-energy quantum physics. So then, if gravity is removed or diminished, very little muscular effort is needed and our alien can easily walk on Earth. In a similar vein, a number of reports from primarily abductees have indicated that people and aliens 'levitate' to and from the aliens' craft. This can only be null-gravity in action. And to me , this provides the perfect explanation for the cattle mutilations of recent years. A larger spacecraft would quietly settle over and hover above the hapless cow. It would then be rendered unconcious (hopefully) and levitated inside it. After select body parts were removed with great surgical precision (for purposes unknown), the dead cow would be deposited back on the ground, drained of blood. There would be no traces left by the perpetrators and no plausible explanations (only lame ones) for who did it and why and how. The only logical answer is that aliens did it, since only they have the capability that fits the M.O.. Well, I'll have more later, as thoughts develop. Regards! CT

Carlos, You're either extremely imaginitive, or you know something I don't. But I will say your theories, if that's in fact what they are, would be plausible considering the science to back them up was there. I agree that anyone travelling in space should and do wear some sort of protective suit. Think about it, unless a being can survive in near absolute temperatures, I don't think he/she/it would NOT be wearing something when traversing the universe. So, we can safely answer the question, "Do Aliens Wear Space Suits?".. YES. I'll addend to this email later when time permits. ~ OPM

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 08:05:27 GMT

Hello, Fans. Hello, OPM. Long time no see. Sorry, but I had some time-consuming things to take care of. Now, OPM, the conclusions we've reached previously are not only plausible theories, they're highly likely to be reality. Memory metal is REAL, and we've linked it to the Black Hole Propulsion technology that David Sereda discovered in use by flying saucers. Quantum physics is REAL, and even though it's not yet understood, most anyone should be able to recognize that the aliens are using THAT too. Going from that, the other conclusions fall logically into place: that the aliens CAN nullify not only gravity, but every other Newtonian law of our universe as well. Also, they MUST protect themselves individually from the forces of high-energy they employ, in they same way they must protect their craft. Voila! Grey memory 'skin'. As for 'absolute temperatures', I don't know if that would apply, since temperature is a function of energy. And I have no idea what the temperature would be in a high-energy state. Wow! The more I think about this, the more amazing it gets! Speaking of amazing, here's some of my current thinking I'll pass on to you. If it is true that UFO sightings go as far back as recorded history, that's a couple thousand years. That means the alien technology is at least that many thousand years more advanced, and we can't even guess how many more thousand years before that. Here's another one, and it's more speculative. If high-energy physics can open the door to other dimensions, have the aliens done it? Are THEY from another dimension? I'm afraid the only way to answer those questions is to ask them. 'Till next time. Regards! CT

Hi there Alyssa. I went to just two websights to look up Martian satellites for you. They were Space.com and Scientific American.com. Neither one had a numbered list of satellites that were sent to Mars. Space.com had the most information, but it's scattered around in different stories, so you'll have to read through quite a few to find what you want. Or, look in your public library. Maybe NASA's website mentions them, since NASA sent them there. Good luck searching! Please let us know if you get the info, okay? Regards! CT

Hello Folks, Carlos. I'm glad to see you're still around. I was a bit busy myself. In my opinion, I don't doubt that any of this technology, can, does, or will exist, because it probably does. What vexes me the most is, how much interaction between these crafts/beings have we actually had, or do have? ... I want to know if we are in contact with these things/people. If so, how much have they told us, or how much WOULD they tell us even if they were in communication with us? .. These are more of the questions that boggles my mind, rather than the technology itself. There's always some type of political agenda behind those with power. Always making adds, moves, and changes to benefit them, and I wonder.. just how are we benefitting from this if we do in fact communicate, or WILL communicate with them? ~ OPM

Your UFO sightings

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 09:28:56 GMT

Hello, All. Hi, OPM. In my opinion, there hasn't been any interaction at all between humans and aliens, except for the abduction kind. I say this because I can't detect any alien-based technologies anywhere, only the human-derived kind. But like you, and like our Founding Fathers, I also have a healthy suspicion of those who wield power. Moreover, those with disproportionate wealth and influence should also be watched with a wary eye. Sometimes they repeat mistakes of the past, thinking that what's good for them is also good for the country. But that just goes for the few rotten apples. And I don't think the aliens are ever likely to share their technology with us. If I were an alien, I wouldn't either. That's because the world is too unstable and volatile to be entrusted with a very highly advanced means of self-destruction. I think it's better anyway if we pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. That way, we can take all the credit for it and not be beholden to space critters. Okay now, in the future, I'd like to debunk some of the outrageous claims about UFO's I've seen throughout the internet, and I'll base it upon what we've discussed and learned in this very post. That is, if you're interested. If not, I can skip it. See ya! Regards. CT

One Proud Monkey — Wed, 27 Dec 2006 16:25:13 GMT

Hi Carlos, other interested folks. I am in agreement with your last post. It'd be one heck of an outstanding achievement if we could take all the credit for a anti-gravity breakthrough, if infact there is one. By the way, I watched a very intriguing documentary the other day about the Texas Roswell, and the Shelbourne sightings in Scotland I believe.. good cases both, and the Shelbourne one even has documentation to back it up. About debunking claims.. I have watched soo many video's that make you cringe because of how hoaxy they are. This is one thing that bothers me about video cammed observers.. they will say, they filmed the lights in the sky for 20 minutes....... then what!!?? .. did they disappear, dart off.. blow up!? .. what!.. I cannot stand, when they say that.. and leave you hanging about the way they departed. Makes me believe they're full of crap every time. Specific details would be nice, especially if the craft darted off at an astronomical rate, or changed directions on a dime as it was leaving. Also, The Mexican UFO sightings that we watched, I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but those crafts that they caught on infra red radar, were covered with that latest and greatest in plasmonic covers and/or metamaterials. Fantastic stuff, and my only question is .. how the heck can they see outside the craft. Ok, I think I'm rambling.. someone elses turn :) ~ OPM

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 21:29:42 GMT

Hello, All. Hi, OPM. Ever since I discontinued my cable TV this year, due to the expense involved, I've been missing out on newer programs like the ones you mentioned. I hope they'll be posted on Google. I'm not too internet savvy, so maybe they're accessible at the Discovery Channel's website. Or Sci-Fi's. Now, about those Mexican sightings. How did you ascertain that those craft are in fact covered in plasmonic/metamaterials and NOT memory metal? Is there a noticeable difference? I think I'd like to see that program for myself. There is so very much about these UFO's that is unknown. And it doesn't help that any existing evidence is being hidden away. From us, anyway. By the way, to those of us in-the-know, the 'Unidentified' in UFO should mean that we CAN identify their unearthly origin, but we can't identify where that origin in space is. The conventional sense no longer applies, whereby they're still confused with terrestrial events. One other thing. You mentioned how can the craft's occupants see to the outside? I had the same thought regarding black hole technology spacecraft. If we and the aliens use light to see by, and they're bending and accelerating the heck out of it around that propulsion system, what do they see with? More puzzling thoughts. 'Till next time. P.S. Did you say 'Texas' Roswell? Not New Mexico? Regards! CT

I personally believe I saw an extraterrestrial UFO. It was Halloween of 2005. I was hanging out with a few friends in a park, and it was getting close to about 9 o'clock PM, and I was sitting on a bench. I looked up, and I saw a weird shape in the sky. It could have looked like an airplane, but without the wings. Not only that, but it moved with such incredible speeds. My mouth suddenly dropped, and once the object vanished from the sky, I asked if anyone else saw the UFO in the sky, and my friend said he did, and told me exactly what I saw.

In the late 1980s, in Northwest Arkansas, late at night, I was driving north along the highway on my way home. It was a fairly dark and sparsely populated stretch. I noticed three lights that appeared to be a plane way too large or way too close to the horizon to be a plane. It was just beyond the horizon above some trees on the left of the highway, and I tried to keep my eye on it because I fully expected it to become easily seen as a plane, but it just disappeared. There was no airport there. The lights weren't especially bright. It was just three lights in a large, triangle, as if a plane had a light on the tip of each wing and one on top. I never reported it. I just assumed it was something explainable, but who knows.

Around 1974 I was driving home from work very late one night going North on Rt 95 in Sharon, MA. I saw a light towards my right and thought thats weird, there's never a helicopter out this late/early morning . But as I kept watching, the lights just didn't fit with helicopter lights and the " helicopter " seemed to be keeping pace with me as I drove up the highway for about 15 miles. Rt 95 ended at that time and you had to go North or South on Rt 128, I went South for about 4 miles and looking towards my right , there was that light still keeping abrest of my car. Still thinking it might be a helicopter I kept my eye on it and wondered why it was following me. Next I got on Rt 24 and headed South, These three highways effectivaly put me in a square U turn. There it was following me still. Now I was really watching the "light " and getting nervous. As I took the exit ramp towards Brockton, MA the light was in front of me towards the west. I came around the ramp and headed east and there it was in front of me again. All of a sudden it just up and sped away east so fast no helicopter or jet could have moved that fast. The next time I talked to my sister in law who lived in Marshfield, MA on the coast, about 20 miles away, she told me about her neighbor who saw the same thing that night but it hovored over the house in Marshfield. Then I told her about what I had seen. Do I believe in UFO's . You bet.

KN, Statesboro, GA — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 12:46:33 GMT

A couple of years ago, I saw a UFO. It was indeed unidentified to me anyway. It was just a few minutes after the sun set and the light from its presence had succombed to darkness, however not pitch dark yet. An orange light was present over the top my neighbors house. This is due west. As I studied this light, attempting to find an expaination for it, the light moved straight up extremely fast. It appeared to make a tight circle, then lowered a little bit. Then it appeared to brighten, and the split into 2 seperate lights. Still orange. These lights, appearing to ne totally in sync, then made half circles away from the other, met again, then sped away, one northward, the other southward, totally disappearing. All of this happened within about 3 seconds. The reason I noticed this strange occurance is because I walk in this direction 3 to 4 times a week, as I have for the past 6 years. I always study the night sky when it is clear out. I have never seen anything like it before or since. This phenomonom was very much unidentified to me, therefore by my own standards, it was a UFO.

I had my own encounter with a UFO in June of 1995. I worked as an A/C Tech in Florida. It was a saturday and I was doing side work at a butcher shop with my friend and co-worker Doug. It was about 12:30PM and we broke for lunch. We had brought subs from Seven 11 and some Gatorade's. After eating I laid back on my trucks tool box and looked into the clear sky. We were not far from Ft. Lauderdale Intl Airport. I was looking at a particular cloud that looked exactly like Mickey Mouse and noticed a Silverish disk in the sky. I pointed it out to Doug who also watched it. We watched it move and dance in the sky for a moment. Then it stood still in the sky for about 30 minutes. Every 5 minutes it would move then would stop again. I was very amazed and after sitting there it picked mved quickly off in the distance. I watched it until I could not see it anymore. Doug and I debated weather it was a weather balloon or something up until we saw it move off. The patterns of movement were unlike wind or anything that we could rationalize. We agreed to just get back to work and forget what we saw. But I reflect on it often as my own little proof of E.T.

It was 1988 I was 20 min out of Bosie Idaho. Traveling about 45mph on a nice noght around 8:00 PM. I was kind of in the country setting with a lot of farms. At this point in my life I thought that ufo stuff was crap until that night...........

To the left of me in a farmers field was a craft that set up right kind of like a spin top. This thing had to have over thousands of thousands of lights. The lights moved in a clock like motion with great speed at this same time moving up and down. It was sitting behind a shed that was next to a house about 200 ft off the road. Everything seemed like it stopped, like time just stopped I remember everything just like I am there now.

John Doe - Ottawa Canada — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 13:28:09 GMT

I was 12 years old. All the neighbours were in their second floor windows pointing, yelling "it's over there", "It just move over here.." Otherwise normal and sane people were getting hysterical about it. They all claimed it was a UFO. My parents and I were on the ground and couldn't see it over the houses. I ran into our house, up the stairs to my bedroom and lunged at the window to get a glimpse. There it was, moving very slowly. Much more slowly that any plane could ever move without falling from the sky.

Over the years I'd recount this a hundred times. Even in business meetings, if the topic came up (and I've worked at the very top for global players all my life). Now that I'm almost 50, I look back and shake my head at the nonsense. 1. We were looking at a chopper in the distance. 2. We were looking in the exact spot where the Ottawa Int'l Airport has stood for I don't know how long. 3. We're alone, and the universe is ours to do with as we please.

Don't get me wrong, I want to believe. Really really bad. But I just don't see it. Only a few people had Super8 cameras and we got a ton of film with UFOs on them. Now everyone has awesome cameras. Hell, my kids have movie cameras on their cell phones! Where are all the shots now? We should be flooded with them.

Do I believe that there are UFO's - YES. Have I personally seen one - NO. Is there "something" out there - PROBABLY. I do know of someone that related to me an encounter that they had while out hunting on a clear summer night back in the late 60's/early 70's. The thing that even to this day that stood out about his description of the event was the fear and uncertainty in his voice. What he described was the classic object in the sky, lights, no sound, fast movement that is somewhat common is most sightings. This person was my Dad, who throughout his life was always the no nonsense type, never the practical joker, and someone who believed that a man was accountable for his actions and words. I think the analogy from a previous post about lakes and fish is the best argument I have heard. I also think that we (the human race) that can not live peacefully on this planet, squanders the many resources that we have, and in general is a poor excuse of an "advanced race of people" should be cautious that if there are visitors to our planet hopefully they are more advanced than we are and keep that in mind if they ever decide to make themselves known to us.

My kids and I were hiking in Mt. McKinley Park in Alaska one beautiful Spring day. This was 1979 and we lived in Fairbanks at the time. We hiked up a mountain in the park and stopped to rest on a grassy plateau. Our car looked like a little toy from where we were. As we rested on the grass one of the kids pointed and said "Whats's that?" We all looked up and about 50 feet away hovering to the right of us, was a metal globe with probes extending around it's surface. I've never seen anything like it. There were no peope anywhere around. We were out in the middle of no-where. There was complete silence. The object stayed stationary in mid-air while we watched it. It made no sound but suddenly it moved upward and sideways behind a peak. My kids ran down the mountain trying to go around to a place where they could find it, as I screamed at them to come back and leave it alone. To this day I wonder we all wonder what it was and where it came from.

In the summer of 1976 in the late night hours, I was inside my house looking outside to the farmhouse next door. There was an unbelievable sight of a huge football shaped UFO with light thay rotated around the object. It hovered there for seveal minutes and then flew off so fast it disappeared into the night almost immediately. The craft made no noise. The most unbelievable sight I've ever seen. NO ONE can convince me that it was not a UFO. Once you see one you will be a believer for life.

Kim Shaffer Bristol, Tn. — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:04:19 GMT

After reading some of the statements on this blog by the "non-believers" I have a few things to say. Nowhere in the SERIOUS study of ufos does any responsible researcher say that ufos are anything other than the acronym states. In the past several years I have investigated 100's of reports. The majority are misidentifications attributed to man made or naturally occurring phenomenon. A small percentage are unexplainable. Of these, I filmed one such object myself in 2003 which caused me to become involved in this study. Weather, man made flying object, natural phenomenon, all excluded scientifically, yet a disc shaped object clearly defies laws of flight and physics on the film and for about 15 full minutes. I am ex-military and a trained observer (a repeated shortcoming of witnesses stated by non believers).
There are hundreds and thousands of cases such as this that cannot be explained away so easily by folks that simply close their minds and refuse to believe because mainly, they themselves have not ever seen a ufo. My answer to that is a question, how often do you look up? You will never witness this phenomenon by sitting indoors. I used to be a non believer. All that changed when I filmed one myself. The fact is that there is a phenomenon which exists that cannot be explained. Non believers will also note that I did not say I had filmed a "spacecraft", it was a UFO.

First off, I know some people say you're nuts to talk about this subject, but I am a very skeptical person by nature but several things happened in early 1981 that changed that. There was a flap, which is a rash of concentrated sighting that occured in southern central NC in 1981. Many people saw them, most didn't talk about it. It hit the local papers. I'll make this short but we saw not only day time metallic disc on at least two occassions but dozens of lights in the night sky with odd behavior patterns. In all, I personally had over 30 sightings throughout 1981. The local police dept. even received calls about odd lights hovering with no sound near local communities. THIS IS IN OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER ARCHIEVES.

Dale Franzen, Wheatland, Wyoming 82201 — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:24:28 GMT

My encounter with a ufo was many years ago, and I've talked to very few people about it. It was in the early 60's, I was about 12 or 13 years old. A friend of mine came by the house all excited and said I needed to go outside and look at this object in the sky. I guess a little back ground before I go any farther, in those days I built a lot of airplane models of all types, so I was pretty good at id'ing planes. Outside we looked off to the south of Wheatland, there was an object about 15 degrees above the horizon. It appeared to be metalic, at least to shined in the sunlight. I went back into the house and called another friend of mine and ask her if she could bring her 300 power telescope up. A little later Gail showed up with her scope. While we were setting it up a couple of the neighbors came out to see what we were doing, I pointed the object out to them, these guys were older adults and they plainly saw the object too. Looking through the scope the object looked like a triangle with rounded corners, it had lights on each of the corners( I don't remember now the order the lights were in ), the bottem of the object looked sort of rounded almost like an inverted cone. My Dad came out and looked at it along with several other adults. As we watched this object sitting stationary for almost 2 and a half hours, we noticed the contrail of a small jet heading west, north of us on the grond and way north of this object in the sky. I think the contrail was probably a fighter jet possibly a F-101 voo-doo, it was way up high and hard to make out. any way this jet got almost due north of the object and started to turn towards it, before the jet could get 25% of a 90 degree turn done this object that had been stationary for over 2 hours was gone over the mountains to the west, no noise, no contrail, no sonic boom. I had never seen anything like it before or since. I do not know what it was but I do know it wasn't "swamp gas" or a weather balloon, or a figment of one persons imagination. It was intelligently "flown" and it evaded contact with a known object. I still have no idea what this thing was.

Hi all.Carlos u seem like an interesting cat. i still havent read all of the messages above, but besides the fact that just in our universe alone there r roughly 100 billion stars. then count the number of galaxies...ok... u cant.. no one can... too many...but.. ITS ALOT.(u have to be pretty ingnorant to think were alone) I have not only seen many UFO's but in some cases. have been able to count the number of hatches on the bottom. Stan Gordon loves my family. Hes an interesing cat too. just Google his name.(hes got a neat weeb site.) My Family has had a long record concerning UFO's.I wont go into too much detail. I could write books. I'm not a crackpot. nor am i one who believes in all that people tell me.(Government for one) My uncle this holiday brought up a valid point that i thought u'all might enjoy. and for those who say, "then why dont they just show themselves". heres what u say: "would u go into a lions den?"

To an alien species, that have maybe figured out light speed or interdimensioal travel. we must seem not to far off from our ancestors. the neanderthal. I mean we still act like them. but now we can kill lots of people even more effciently. not to mention, u'd think that be smart enough not to destroy our own planet without at least finding another inhabitable one to destroy. Humans r still monkeys. We just have cooler sticks than the monkeys in the zoo.

i was always a cynic regarding UFO sightings until late one night in 1981. Travelling with my wife from KALGOORLIE to PERTH in WESTERN AUSTRALIA. About 2am as we were had passed through the tiny town called MOORINE ROCK, we observed a large ball of flame in th sky. I pulled the car over and we got out to watch as this perfect ball of flame decended ever so slowly, and seemed to have landed in the middle of a wheatfield. Idrove around trying to get closer, but it was too far inside the farmers paddock, and seemed to be sitting on the ground aflame but not setting fire to the crop. We drove on discussing the phenomonen of this "fireball" and soon put it out of my mind as I concentrated on the journey ( we still had another500 or so kms to go) Some time later it became apparent that a red glowing light seemed to be following some distance behind the vehicle,never catching up, just hanging back there, following us. My wife had been a bit unsettled by the "fireball" thing, so I didn't mention it to her. When we came to the small regional town of MERRIDEN we stopped at the all-night roadhouse for a coffee, andthen started out again on our trip.Hanged if the darn thing was there behind us again soon after we left the lights of town behind. I decided not to look any more, kept my eyes of the rear vision mirror and just concentrated on the road ahead. Not long after I noticed a red glow seemed to fill the inside of the car, reflecting back at me from the dash and even my hands. This is when panic hit me and I floored it. the glow suddenly disappeared and a great weariness hit me, I had to pull over and fell into a deep sleep. When I awoke dawn was breaking, and I started out again. My wife woke and asked me if the light was still following, I didn't think she had been aware of it. When we finally arrived home 3 hours overdue, my stepdaughter wanted to know why we were so late, so we told her all about it. She said we had "missing time", then explained to us what that meant in regard to UFO sightings. I've been less cynical since that experience, I don't pretend to understand what we saw, but there are some strange stuff out there!

hey Ed from L.I.that is just about the same time that my friend & I were sitting on a beach at dusk (having snuck out of the house)& on the horizon we saw a funny moving thing...it was traveling quite slowly & came to our about 2:00 hovered for maybe 10 seconds, long enough for us both to see CLEARLY a disc shaped craft with lights around it.Vicki & I froze with amazement & fear, we were 10 or 11 yrs old.There was not a sound coming from the craft,& in the blink of an eye it shot off.Maybe 30 seconds later 2 fighter jets came screaming from the horizon taking the same path as the UFO.

Weather??Please that is so insulting to people who have seen something not from this world.As smart as we are it seems completely absurd to assume that out in the vastness there are beings that make us look like cavemen...things we can't even imagine.And also being that the crafts have been dipicted in ancients drawings allover the world,this should rule out the ever popular theme of weather related sightings.

I simply don't understand why we are so self centered to think that we are the only intelligence there is. Is it possible that whoever or whatever that set things in motion to create life here hasn't done it elsewhere?Might we be seeds?I just accept the fact that we've been visited by them for as long as we've kept records i.e. cave drawings,paintings from the masters have even shown us that the people of that time also saw them & they are clearly shown in the paintings.We didn't have weather ballons back then.I think it's long overdue..the powers that be here on our planet should stop trying so lamely to explain these things as weather related.I am not saying that some are not but I known darn well what I saw with my own eyes clearly was not some secret squirrell mission of the gov.How stupid do they think people are?

I was a bit skeptical until one early evening my son and i spotted a light on the sky and later turned into a fascinating object moving from left to right with a light of its own, it moved like a sea animal until it disappeared in front of us, there were 7 more family members joining us at the gallery, i could not decipher what kind of an object it was, no sound, no airplane would move like that....

HAP COLE — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:32:19 GMT

in the middle 70's, I was a navy recruiter in west MD.
and North WV. I had transported a prospective recruit
to Pittsburgh and was taking him home. We were on top of a mountain, just starting down. Weather was heavy
overcast but no fog and visibility was good. Suddenly,
the clouds NE started glowing a dark green color. Then
an oblong shaped object, very large descended from the
clouds to what I would estimate about 100 feet above
the top of another mountain. I pulled over to observe
it. Suddenly; 3 brilliant white lights were directed
earthward as the ship hovered. I estimated the length
at 600 ft., about 50 ft6. high, oblong in shape.It
remained hovered with white lights for about 3-4 minutes. When they were turned off, I observed green
smaller lights about 40-45 ft. apart on the bottom quarter of the craft. When it left; it went straight up at a very high speed. Just as it reentered the
clouds, it turned about 90 degrees and I mean sudden,
not gradual. You may convince some people about the
non-existence of UFO's; but that was either a UFO or
a very top secret experimental military craft. The
earth is a certain distancefrom the sun; but knows
what is equidistance the opposite side of the sun.
As for my own beliefs; I think there is other, and
most likely higher intelligent forms of life in the
universe.Discounting as much as 98% of UFO sightings; what about the other 2%?

HI ALL. I HATE TO ADMIT TO THIS BUT I HAVE HAD TWO SEPARATE SIGHTINGS OF "SOMETHING". MY HUSBAND THINKS I AM CRAZY. BUT THEY WERE BOTH IN THE 90'S AND BOTH TIMES I WASNT THE ONLY ONE SEEING IT. THE FIRST TIME WAS WITH MY BEST FRIEND'HER MOTHER AND THEIR NEIGHBOR. IT WAS ABOUT DUSK AND WE WERE JUST SITTING IN THE BACK YARD ON THE DECK. ONE OF US SAW A VERY BRIGHT ALMOST STRETCHED OUT "DOT" OF LIGHT. WE ALL SAT AND LOOKED AT IT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WATCHED IT GO BACK AND FORTH OVER THE HORIZON A COUPLE OF TIMES. IT MOVED BACK AND FORTH SO FAST IT WAS HARD FOR MY EYES TO KEEP UP WITH IT. BUT WE ALL SAW IT AND ALL CONFIRMED IT OUT LOUD TO EACHOTHER. I WAS VERY YOUNG AND SO SCARED TO EVEN LOOK OUT MY WINDOWS AT NIGHT FOR A FEW MONTHES AFTER THAT. THEN A FEW YEARS LATER MY MOM WAS ON THE PHONE WITH MY UNCLE IN NY.I WAS GETTING A COOKIE AND STANDING AT THE KITCHEN WINDOW. I SAW A "SPOTLIGHT" OR SOMETHING OVER A POND OUTBACK OF OUR HOUSE.SO I TOLD MY MOM AND SHE WENT ON THE BACK PORCH TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT OR TO SEE IF SHE COULD HEAR ANYTHING. NOPE...NOTHING. WE SAW THE LIGHT AND HEARD NOTHING. MY MOM IS A DARING SOUL AND WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO BE SOME SORT OF E.T. EXPERIENCE. I AM NOT A DARING SOUL. I AM STILL SCARED...SO TO THIS DAY MY MOM AND DAD STILL TELL THEIR ADULT DAUGHTER THAT WHAT SHE SAW BACK IN 1995 WAS SOME SORT OF ARMY HELICOPTER. IT WORKED FOR ME THEN...BUT NOT SO MUCH NOW.....

My grandmother told my sister and me before she died that little gray men came through her walls to get her after she ran into the house out of fear. This incident took place in the early 1950's. She was a very serious woman and although there is no proof, I must give her the benefit of the doubt. She was in her mid 40's when this occured in rural Lincoln Co., Mo.

As a teenager in London my family and many on our block saw a dome shaped saucer type object. It moved straight up and down and sideways and at one point it came close enough for us to hear a whirring sound. The dome had glass windows and purple lights. At some point it was joined by other "vehicles." They also were able to move sideways, up and down and disappear in a flash. We never found out what it was, but I don't think any of us in our little suburb outside Croydon has ever forgotten it. There was a frightening sense of menace that we all felt.

I will not say that what I've seen is a UFO, but for the past couple of summers (untill summer 06) I used to see this strange craft in the sky a couple times per week. It would always appear at aproximately 12:20 and it would circle around the sky (as if making its rounds around the earth) I'm pretty sure it wasn't a plane as it was diamond shaped, but either way, it was strange.

Pete Lefebvre, Waterflow, NM — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 15:34:03 GMT

I couldn't say if UFO's are real or not, however ... In the summer of 1973 while attending a campout with 20 Boy Scouts (I was one of them) and 2 Scoutmasters, the night sky was lit up with stars and burning embers from our campfire. The weather was calm and warm. We all were looking above when suddenly 4 lights on the starlit horizon lifted high above and zipped off in diferring directions but in perfectly straight ascention. Embers are not bright white like the stars, as these lights were. Embers do not move in sraight lines, so fast that you have to whiplash in following them. We looked at each other in amazement, and still talk about it when we meet.

Dan, Iowa — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 15:44:20 GMT

In the Summer of 1973 I was traveling East in my vehical on a Rural Iowa gravel road with a friend. Out of the blue my friend says, "hey, what's that blinking light over there?" Way off in the East I see a tiny blinking light. I tell my friend that it must be a plane. He replies back, "it's not moving". So, to try and satisfy him, I say "ok it's a helicopter." About the time this comes out of my mouth, the blinking light starts moving towards us. Now to put this into perspective, you need to understand that the gravel road we are on is only one mile long and then comes to a "T' intersection and I'm already half way down this road by the time the light starts moving towards us. About + or - 100 ft. from the intersection I've locked up the brakes, slid to a stop and I'm staring out the drivers side window at the object we've been watching. It's just sitting there 25 ft. from the car "hovering" above the cornfield.

My friend says he's getting out of the car and I'm trying to tell him we need to go (NOW)! He insists on getting out of the car, so I follow. As soon as we stand up outside the car, two huge lights probably 5 ft. in diameter come on illuminating us and the car. There is one light on each end of the object. The object itself is a least twice the length of my car, which is a 1964 Buick LaSabre, not a small car by any means. Anyway, the object is not making a sound as it sits there. I could have picked up a rock off the road, threw it and hit this thing, that's how close it was! But instead, when those lights came on, I just about #&%!

I jump back in the car, reach across to the passenger side and drag my friend back inside. The car has been running the whole time and I proceed (quickly) to leave. During the short drive to intersection which I mentioned earlier is only about a 100 ft. away, my friend is still in awe, staring out the back window watching the object. He tells me that it is turning, so I stop the car at the intersection to watch. It turns to the Northwest, the large lights go off, and at first is moving rather slow. Then it just shoots off to the Northwest clearing the top of a farmhouse by what looked to be just a few feet and is gone.

The following morning on the way to school I was listening to the morning news and there was a report of a truck driver in Canada wandering down the highway. When questioned by the local authorities he claimed to have been abducted. All I know is the last time I saw the thing, it was heading in the general direction of Canada!

I haven't told this story for a long time (I told it a few times after the encounter and people just laughed). My friend never talked about it again, not even to me. If I mentioned it, he would change the subject. I don't know that I've read any reports of someone being that close to a UFO (other than abduction stories). For several years I returned to that spot hoping to see it again. I'm not sure what I would have done if I saw it? Probably run as before. That's my story and I'm glad I found this site so that I could share it, hopefully with those who won't laugh. But, if so I'll understand. > Farmboy from Iowa

It was 1966, I was a boat captain working out of Houma La. I was on my way to Eugene Island Block 126, offshore of Morgan City, La. It was a clear night, when about 2:00 am my deckhand an I spotted what seemed to be an airplane of some kind off our port bow. It seemed to slow almost to a stop, then 2 other craft seemed to leave the underbelly of this one and fly directly into the ocean (Gulf of Mexico). The original craft then sped off gaining altitude rapidly. It suddenly vanished in the blink of an eye. Our sighting had ended as abrubptly as it had begun.

John Prieto, Houston, TX — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 15:45:42 GMT

I saw a UFO once. It was in Houston in 1969 at South Main and Hillcroft. I was 10 years old with my mother and 20 year old sister. We had a horse at the time and we went to the stable to feed him. I was a summer night around 8-9PM. When we arrived we stopped the car on the side of the road. The UFO was above the ground in an open pasture, about 50 feet up. It was quite large, about the size of a football field. It was round with many small round windows along the edge. It was silver with many colorful lights - red and blue on the sides and white light below it. We watched it float in the air for some time. Many cars that were driving along South Main street had pulled over to look. This was a suburb area with many new homes and roads, sort of at the edge of town. I remember looking at the little round windows to try to see inside. That is my only memory of this event. My mother, sister, and I all remembered it, but we never talked about it. It wasn't like a secret or anything, but we had no interest in it. It's very strange that we had no reaction to this extraordinary event. Years later we talked about it and agreed that our lack of interest was more unusual than the event itself.

C. Stringer — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 16:02:33 GMT

Even though there has never been any proof shown to us that there are UFO's that check out our planet, I do believe that they exist. The reason why I beleive
is because back in the summer of 1972 I was a teenager hanging out with a few friends and we ended up laying in the grass looking at the clouds until the sun began to set. Just as the sky began to turn dark, we saw some approaching lights in the sky. These lights were in the shape of a triangle with one set of lights trailing behind like a tail. As it slowly traveled across the sky, it appears that the lights were separate aircrafts. One in front, two behind it, and three behind the two forming a triangle, and one following center of them all. We first commented that that many aircraft traveling together were traveling extremely slow. Although it was too dark to see any aircraft, the lights were very visible. We started to all get this creepy feeling that something wasn't right. We were still staring at the lights passing over us and discussing
on leaving this field we were in when, in the flash of a second all these lights that were slowly decending above us suddenly took off! When i say "took off" I mean it literally went from zero to
six thousand in a flash! I have never seen anything take off so fast as I did this night. That was all it took for us! We were on our feet and running! After walking about a half block and discussing what we saw, there was a man standing in the doorway of his home looking at the sky so we just had to ask him if he saw what we saw and he had seen exactly what we did! He was an older man in his sixties. His
confirmation of the events let us know we were not crazy and just imagining things. This was for real! I will never forget it as long as i live. Something is out there and their capabilities are far more advanced than ours. From reading other peoples sightings I am thankful that the UFO's are just curious and not harmful to us. There is so much that we don't know now but someday we will know it all.

It was the year 1987 in upstate NY around 9:45PM I was driving on route 81 with my children we all saw a bubble-shaped translucent disc with no lights hovering over and above our car weaving back and forth. It was about the size of a small car, kind of a light green transucent color, it would hover over the car then weave to the median then to the side of the car it was spooky. Later it was reported that it was a reflection from the clouds but who really knows, but to me and my children it looked like a UFO.

Cletus Snow — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 16:33:20 GMT

In the summer of 1953 my sister and I were visiting our grandparents just outside of Athens Ga.One night we were all sitting on the back porch listening to them tell stories,it was a reasonably dark night with scattered clouds and a quarter moon.A bright light appeared low in the sky and moving fast toward us it stopped about a half mile away and seemed to land or hover very close to the ground.

Everyone's attention was riveted to the brightly lit object in the pasture, my grandfather asked "what the hell is that" I was surprised at the words and tone he used.We didn't sleep much that night.

The next morning several of the neighbors were there to find out what had happened during the night, the houses were pretty far apart,about a mile to the nearest one. you can only imagine how bright the light had to be to be seen from several miles away.My grandmother asked if they wanted breakfast they said they would eat after they checked on the light.I followed the men to the pasture where they found the horse dead,his ears and one foot were missing but there was no blood around anywhere they looked like they had been cut with a laser it was burnt but very clean. None of the men would touch the horse one of the men went home and brought a tractor back to dig a hole to bury maude in, they tied a chain to her and dragged her in the hole.

That was long before I had even heard of a laser. that story was the topic of conversation as the store and church for years. My grandfather never mentioned it again I thought he had forgotten it. Years later I was grown and had children of my own in high school,when my grandfathers health began to fail, one visit near the end he ask me if I remembered the incident, I replied that I remembered it very well.His reply was that he thought about that incidentand the horse every day since it happened and maybe soon would have the answer. That was the last visit with Grandpa before he died a week later.

If I had the answer I'd tell you.

Hello Alan. Happy New Year! I came across your website by accident and though you might like to hear my account of UFOs. In 1965 I was a young 19 year old airman stationed at Holloman AFB in New Mexico. I was a maintenance crew member assigned to a C-130. I always had a fascination with flying saucers ever since I was a kid. This one particular day I was conversing with my crew chief about UFOs when he related a story about a friend of his. He told me that his friend was part of a detail that recovered a crashed saucer and brought it to Holloman. I thought it was so cool that the hangar we worked out of may have actually held the remains of that vehicle. According to Stanton Friedman the Roswell story did not come to his attention until the '70s. By the way, the mountain range outside of Alamogordo offered great views of weird lights in the sky. Although they may have originated at White Sands Missile Range. Thank you for the opportunity to share this with you.

Teresa vancouver WA — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 16:41:32 GMT

I believe the Genesis account and the 6 literal days of creation, consisting of time, space and matter.Of that matter was a lush world with everything to suport life and there was animals created. The Lord got the world ready for life, he made mankind. Man is the supreme creation of all his work and there is listed no other comparable form of even close to man. There is no such thing as space aliens, though I believe that people have seen something unusual.

The only other being that was created before the Genesis account was in God's dwelling place, the third and highest heaven, as it is referred to in the Bible, and that creation was of the angels. When there was a legendary insurrection in heaven with Lucifer, he convinced 1/3 of the angels to follow after him. These became the fallen angels or demons, and much of Christianity now believes that the unusual visitations, many witnesses from all over the world, are receiving messages of a religious nature from demons. Their mission is to keep people as far away from the cross of salvation of Jesus as possible. There have been numerous accounts of encounters with "something" that is usually invited soon after by the forbidden use of the occult, where in you are contacting the spirit realm. They would love to mislead you. Now scientists who are heavily questioning evolution, but see evidence of great design are attributing this to space creatures, instead of God and his son Jesus, who is God in human flesh and the blessed Holy Spirit.

Satan is masquerading around as an angel of light to deceive, the apostle Paul warns.

I attribute these sightings to several things then: some people are mistaken but have this idea in mind and think they see something. Some are lying because they want attention or want to feel " special" and the rest, I believe, have violated what scripture says is an abonimation ( 1 of like 2-3 things listed with such a word description) and they have made contact with one who will eventually perish in hell and judgment. Satan seeks to keep people blind to the truth, and to the work of the cross, and ultimately their origin.

Check out the Bible. I beleive that most people in one way or another are being deceived.

Witheld for Professional Reasons, USA — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 16:45:55 GMT

During the late 1980's, myself and 10 others from the Boy Scout troop we belonged to observed a triangular shaped craft with blue and green glowing aft sections with a red glow from underneath hovering silently above the Whiteman AFB nuclear weapons storage area. It looked to be hovering about 75 ft above the treeline around sunset. Around 5-7 minutes passed with no motion on the part of the craft then the colors glowing in the aft section changed from a circular shape to a pill shape with two beams of light being directed downwards into the weapons storage area. After that the craft slowly and silently drifted towards the southwest. After the craft made a pass over over the area, the beams seemed to roll up towards the craft like a set of headlights would on a sports car. The craft picked up considerable speed as it disappeared over the horizon. Moments later we observed a couple of military helicopters heading in the direction the craft went moments before. Not certain if the craft appeared on the Air Force's radar or not or if anyone else filed a report on this occurence. (From what I understand and from what I heard growing up in the military it is professional suicide to go on record with occurrences like these).

On a related note, we had heard stories from various missile crews about seeing strange lights above missile silos just north of I-70 near Odessa, MO where the launch control teams reported the missiles going into start-up on their own then being shut down. I thought they were just telling stories to pass the time and stave off boredom but after seeing what we saw I changed my mind.

I believe UFO's are real because I have seen a few of them in NC and CA. In 1983 while traveling from Seattle to San Fransico I was accompanied by one almost to my destination. I was frightened beyond comprehension in believing that my trip would be interrupted by this object. The bright light that beamed from the object seem to be a guide on the highway for my direction. When other vehicles appeared on the highway,the light was dimmed. It is a waste to report these occurrences because they are not acknowledged. Am I a 'lone believer'?? TeePee

Kim ~ Boise, Idaho — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 17:06:50 GMT

Hi, I live in Idaho and from what I gather, this state is a supposedly a hot spot for UFO activity. I am close to 40 yrs old now but when I was younger my family and I used to go camping in the mountains around Boise. We would just sleep in sleeping bags under the stars. None of this multiple room tent thing people do now. Anyhow my family would lay there and look at the stars. We would count how many shooting stars we could see. One particular summer night we saw many shooting stars, but this one time there where three lights that moved slowly across the sky. Not fast like shooting stars. The three headed towards each other from different directions. They all came together in one spot. We all sat there and watched the sky unable to understand what we just saw. Then about a minute later the three lights seperated and went very fast in different directions. After that we must have seen about 5 or so shooting stars and then the night sky became quiet. We still have no idea what it was we saw that night but we know for sure that they were not stars. Not the way they moved slowly together then basically zipped away from each other. I am extremely fascinated with the UFo theories and all. I believe we are not alone in the uninverse.

nice try though.

consider the math and the science of the question.

if the physics are same thruout the universe,
the probability is that life arises over and over
in countless repetition. using the drake equation,
you come up with numbers you cannot understand.
with our myopic eyes, we have "discovered" somewhere around 200 planets. a drop in the big bucket only.

i suggest to anyone who doubts et life to check out
the planet mars, our next door neighbor.
go to mars researchanomaly.com or cyberspaceorbit.com
amd look at water on mars, not to mention what seems to be structure, not just the fabled face but
the pyramids as well. check out those angles. does the wind of mars know geometry?

follow the money trail in search of et.

maybe we dont want to admit that God could have other children. if the governments who conceal these truths admitted one thing, pandora's box would open and out would fly lifeforms from many worlds.

but then, we would know they have been lying.

but wait, we already know that.

so what's the point?

the point to me is that truth is not shared,
discovery concealed,
and all we get is the bill.
we see "thru the glass darkly". the darkness is fear.
creation is a process applied thruout the cosmos.
beyond seeing alien spaceships in the sky,
and wondering if they were real,
try staring into alien eyes.
then you know for sure.

I think there is something or someone "visiting" earth, be they travelers from space or time, I guess at this point in time it doesn't matter much which, but they (something or someone) do exist, I don't go out looking for weird unidentifiable objects flying arouind in the sky but never the less have had the privilege of seeing "six lights" as thats all they were, but the "lights" made some very weird moves let me tell you! It was just about two years ago, I was watching TV with my family and got up to get a bit of air, I opened my door and stood there for a moment as I often do, while looking out over the western sky I noticed what appeared to be three lights, vertically, on a tower, no blinking, but living in this area for 30 years I knew that not only was there no tower in that area in the sky but I had been standing in the doorway about the same time the night before and didnt see lights or a tower in that area that night or before for that matter? and knew it was an impossibility for one to be erected in a day! That being said, I called to my oldest kid (22) to come take a look but she was busy on the computer, I called out a second time and my youngest came to the door (18) I pointed out the lights just in time for both, yes, both of us, to see the middle light start to move in a straight line to the right of us! just a second or so later, the top light moved rather fast, from its orig stable position to the right, stop, to the left and upward, stop, (like a back slash) then to the right again, and stop! it made a pattern like a backward "Z"! then the one on the bottom appeared to go straight up! and as it reached the top light it (the top light) started moving to the left of us, as if moving out of the way of the bottom light!? the middle light that went to the right made a turn and went straight up into the sky, and the bottom light went right up into the night sky too, the top light moved for about three seconds when it came to another three lights in the sky, it made a direct turn straight up into the sky after it passed the other three lights, and as it did the other three light moved at the same time in three different directions, one went up after the orig top light, one went to the left, and one to the right, till they were all out of sight, I really did think at the time that they were alien space crafts, but as the excitment wore down, we talked about it and they could have been many things, if one is open to the theory of time travel they could have been visitors from the future, if one beleives in secret crafts/vehicles well then they could have been that,I dont know, but they were something!

I hear a lot of people wondering why there is no proof of UFO's. Fact is there is a lot of proof but it is always ignored, discredited or covered up by the government. There have been credible eyewitness accounts going back years, photo's taken that have undergone detailed analysis that cannot be shown to be fakes and even physical evidence and artifacts. Soil samples taken from landing sites, mysterious metals and radar tracking. There have been well documented unexplained accounts all over the world for years, but we are told they dont exist so we choose to believe what we are told by those we think that we trust. We see what we want to see and what our mind tells us is there. If a person's mind cannot accept the fact that there are UFO's then it is far easier to convince them they are not real than most people think. Not all UFO's are real and in fact probably 99% of all sightings are hoaxes or sightings of natural phenomenon. However, what about the 1% that cannot be explained, or where proof does exist? We simply cannot continue to be shown evidence and say that the evidence doesnt exist. I am sure that if a UFO landed in Washington DC and little green men jumped out and announced themselves that within days of them leaving there would be people saying that it wasnt real. Just look at the moon landings in the late 60's and early 70's. There are plenty of people ready to show you evidence and reasons why they never took place also, even though the entire world watched it happen.

C. Young, Richmond, Virginia — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 17:27:12 GMT

Like others, I was skeptical about the possibility of UFOs existence until I was driving on I-64 East returning to Richmond from the Midwest. In the car were my two daughters, my nephew and my brother. I was approaching the West Virginia/Virginia border and it was early in the morning (around 5:00 or so). I was coming into a curve coming around the mountains when to the left I saw ascending from the tree lined mountain depth a circular shaped moving disc which appeared to have lights underneath. I have made this drive several times and I know there is no airports near by nor military installations so I was kind of bewildered as to this sighting. I slowed a bit and it swiftly ascended higher and higher. I tried to keep it in view by looking in my rearview and side mirror but it went up pretty fast. My nephew was the first to awaken and I told him about. He laughed and said I argued that I saw what I saw. While looking at the early evening news that very same day, Gene Cox of Channel 12 news reported that there were some UFO sightings in western Virginia. I called my nephew down so he could witness the report himself. Thank God for some confirmation that I had not been having some type of illusions. Now I believe that there are UFOs that are out and about checking us out.

John, Baltimore, MD — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 18:01:54 GMT

This is the first time I have ever publicly spoken or written about this event, but the names and places listed are real and those listed, are not aware of these events. I am not giving permission for this information to be used in part or whole, for any purpose what so ever.

My name is John and at the time of this event, it was in the late summer of 1978 or 1979 and I worked in the Pro Shop of the Montgomery Village Golf Course in Gaithersburg, MD. Gaithersburg is approximately 17 miles NW of Washington, DC, along I-270, running NW between DC and Fredrick, MD.

It was a clear summer afternoon, I was out playing a round of golf on the back nine of the course and it was pretty clear of other golfers. The course lies in a flood-plain and from almost any point between 13 and 18; you could see almost any part of the course.

I had just teed off on the 17th hole, a rather straight par four, and was getting ready to hit my second shot to the green. I was about 175 yards from the green on the right side of the fairway, with a clear view of all the surrounding holes and realized I was the only person out there. I looked at my watch and saw that it was approximately 2:03pm, I had 1.5 holes left to play and I had to be in to work at 3:00pm.

At that point, I noticed an odd black cloud approaching from the West, coming in over the 13th and 14th holes, just passed Montgomery Village Ave. I cloud seemed to be about 50 ft across and about double in length. As it approached, it looked like black smoke boiling in, onto it-self, like one of the space ships from the movie “Independence Day”, as they were approaching one of the cities in the movie. The cloud I saw appeared to be about 50 or 60 ft off the deck (ground). Its speed was no more than a few miles per hour, about the speed of a golf cart.

As the cloud was approaching, I actually began thinking about hitting a golf ball up through the cloud and was trying to figure out which club to use...an 8 iron for distance, no not enough loft...a Sand Wedge for the loft, no the flange on the back would cause the club to bounce...a Pitching Wedge for the loft or a nine iron for both loft and distance. I grabbed the Pitching Wedge, figuring the distance wasn't going to be an issue as it was going to go directly over my right shoulder, to avoid the townhouses on the ridge to my left and an Elm tree right behind me. I looked up to gauge my shot, looked down at my ball, looked up again to gauge my shot, looked back down at my ball....then nothing.

I looked up again and it was no longer over me. I did a 360 sweep of the sky and saw it about a quarter to half a mile away over Bob Bilbo's house on the other side of a cow pasture, past Goshen Road, which was due East of me. It was in a vertical climb at about 1,500 feet. I could see the object now, which was shaped like an arrowhead and was silver in color. As it accelerated, I could see it, and it had this blur of its shape behind it, like the look of the Starship Enterprise flying through space in one of its movies. And then it was gone.

I looked at my watch and it was now 2:55pm! I thought, “Oh my G.., I need to get to work!” I grabbed my golf ball, through my club in my bag, jumped in the cart and drove straight in to the clubhouse. My only thought was, I must have read my watch wrong and I needed to get in ASAP!

As I pulled in to the area in front of the Pro Shop, Jeff Slemmons, a co-worker and was working the day shift, was out front helping one of the member’s, started yelling at me. I told him I wasn’t supposed to work until 3:00pm and I was in on time, so what was his problem. He told me he was going to ask me if I would work earlier for him because he wanted to leave work early to go see his girlfriend. He thought I would have been in an hour ago and he couldn’t figure out what happened to me. According to Jeff, he had asked four groups of golfers if they had seen me out on the course and no one had seem me or my cart.

I started working, Jeff left to see his girlfriend and other than some of the golfers ribbed me about where I was, but that was it. By the next day, the whole thing was forgotten and life went on at the Club.

A couple months later, something triggered my memory of the event and I haven’t forgotten a detail to this day. I can’t tell you what happened between 2:03pm and 2:55pm, I just don’t know.

For those who do not know this, back at that time of this event, within a few miles of the course (their direction from the course), The National Bureau of Standards (SE), ERDA - Energy Research Development Agency (W) , IBM’s Mid-Atlantic Headquarters (S), and National Geographic’s (ESE), all had major facilities. I haven’t lived in the area since 1983, so I don’t know if they are still there or not.

I was fishing in the high mountains of UT, Ruth lake, about 5 miles pass Mirror lake. It was near 11:30PM and I was scanning the skys with 50 power binocuars to get a better view of the trillions of stars. It was so clear that night that even the Milky Way was impressive. While scanning around the universe I caught a movement out of the northern hemisphere. I quickly moved my sight to the movement and obsereved 6 tiny lights moving East to West. At first I thought of all the high flying jets out there but the movement was faster than normal at that distance. I couldn't determine colors of the lights but they were uniform in movement. After about 3 mins of the straight line movement the lights changed to a upward movement. The circle of lights made a few erratic left and right moves and then seemed to move away from my view and soon got smaller and then they were gone. I have viewed many lighted objects in the skys at this altitude(near 11,000ft)and most were explainable, but these lights were different in their uniform circle and movement. When you see something like this it gives you an weird feeling and the excitement is overwhelming.

This happened around february 1997. I was a prior service assigned to India Co. at Ft. Lee VA. I remember one early morning, we were conducting our regular PT. I was laying down on my back at the basketball court doing some crunches. I took a look at the sky and I saw what I thought it was a falling star until I notice that there was two of then and one was following the other. What really called my attention was when the one in front sped up and made a 45 degree sharp change in course and then stop. The one following did like a diagonal cut toward the first one and stopped at a very short distance front the other. Then the one being followed burned like when you light up a match and see the burning of the head. It only lasted for about half of a second and then it disappeared, I dont know how far in sky it was, but it was a beautiful winter morning with clear skies and full of stars. For what I am concerned they do exist and I can tell you that some of them do fight each other like we humans do.

A few years back, a friend and I were hanging out at Farnham's reservoir near October Mountain State Forest. We were out in the middle of nowhere having a few beers, and just shooting the s***. All of a sudden over the western horizon comes an orange ball of light. My friend and I see it at about the same time and ask each other, "What is that?" The orange ball travels across the sky a short distance, stops, and then disappears. My friend and I were searching the area of the sky where we last saw the orange ball when suddenly the orange ball reappears approximately where we last saw it. The orange ball, starting from a stopped position, shoots across the sky and disappears over the eastern horizon. It took off and shot across the sky so quickly, I doubt it was anything man made. My friend joked that maybe we should quit drinking, but we only had two or three beers in us when we saw the orange ball. I don't really believe in UFO's but I still have no explanation for what my friend and I saw that night.

Scott Ferguson, Brandon, Florida — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 21:03:11 GMT

Here's another sighting for the pile. It was Easter Sunday in the early 60's, near the space center in Florida during the height of the space race. My mother and my grandmother both witnessed a silent silver disc with windows (my mother glimpsed the interior walls opposite the windows) practically buzz their car while on their way to an Easter egg hunt at church. It was traveling at an angle that should have caused it to crash into a nearby school (or that general area), but it apparently did not. They lost sight of it within a couple seconds, after it went beyond the tree line on the side of the road. Does it mean that aliens visited earth? I don't think it necessitates that answer, but it sure wasn't the planet Venus nor does it match the description or performance characteristics of early air force experiments with "hover discs." In fact, when Bob Lazar (who is clearly a con man liar) presented his "disc" to the world, my mother exclaimed that that was it, and indeed it was a perfect match of drawings she had made of the craft years ago. Bob Lazar and others may be lying, but they draw their own descriptions of the craft from other witnesses who for years have been seeing silver discs hovering about. I'm sure there's a very real physical object out there behind this, the questions are who does it belong to, and where and/or when does it come from?

Ax, Linn, MO — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 22:27:01 GMT

My story is very simple and yet I cannot explain it. In November of 1999 about 4:45pm I was on I-44 heading west. The sun was starting to go down and I noticed a small bright light going over the highway ahead of me but very high up. I thought it was a plane with the sun reflecting off of it but the speed of the light was like nothing I had ever seen. I was driving at the time so I had a hard time following the light. I pulled over at a gas station just east of Lebanon, MO. The sun was just then setting and I looked in the direction I had seen the light and nothing was there so I started looking all around and as I looked straight up I saw many small pea shaped discs that would come in and out of focus as the sun would shine off of them. These were not planes. As they would turn or tilt I could see their shape more clear. I would say these objects were about 30,000+ ft. They came over the highway and out of sight in only a few minutes. I looked at the sky until darkness fell and got back in my car and left. I always wanted to know if anyone else saw these objects that day. This made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The closest Army base is Ft. Leonard Wood which is only about 30 mile east of Lebanon. I keep telling myself that it had to be some kind of army weather balloon or somthing.....

AB, Seattle, Wash — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 01:13:57 GMT

Me and some friends were leaving a house one evening, late 90's around October in Seattle. I was waiting for the others to come out of the house as I glanced up to the west skies. I noticed 6 orange/amber shaped dots moving across the sky in a V formation. I couldn't believe what I was seeing because I'd never seen anything like it. I yelled for everyone to hurry outside and take a look. We all ran around the back of the house to get a better look. The dots at this point were moving NW as they started rotating into a circle shape from the V shape. Once the circle shape was complete they quickly began to fade into the sky, as if they were moving farther away at a fast pace. We talked and laughed for days about seeing a UFO.

People reply with heavy skepticism when I bring it up, so I usually don't. But I am certain that it was something not from this planet. And if it is, someone has some explaining to do.

Last year on a warm summer evening my wife and I sat outside and were looking at the stars. The sky was very clear,not a cloud to be seen.We were counting the stars in a small section of sky when suddenly one of the stars we had counted began to move and within about 10 seconds picked up speed and shot out of site.It actually looked like it went away from the earth.I noticed that it appeared to pass in front of some of the stars and behind others.? we have always believed there is life out there so we were not surprised and we now carry a camera everytime we go out to stargaze.

Tom, DesPlaines, IL — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 04:00:10 GMT

Interesting all the talk going on right now, especially after the O'Hare Int'l Airport incident on Nov 7th. So ok here it goes. Am I a believer in UFO's ? Depends on how you define it. I think it's stupid not to think life exists elsewhere and that they possibly have the means to travel. So basically I believe the possibility exists. Could a UFO be just a trick of the eye or hoax, sure- you bet. Could a UFO be some sort of military object - oh sure why not. The Stealth Bomber looks almost UFO shaped. So I have an open mind to it; but up until 7 years ago I can't say I've ever "thought" I saw an un explained object. I don't really make a fuss over it. All I know is I know I saw something really weird and nothing like it ever before or since. I was driving to pick up my Mom from the store and happend to pass by my old grammar school in Park Ridge. It was dusk and not a cloud in the sky. I decided to pull in the parking lot of the school and check out the ball field and sort of reminisce a little of my childhood. This is when I noticed the daily arrival of planes coming in to land. The school is under one of the runway paths. Ok so that's the setting. So I was looking straight up above me watching the planes land one by one and marveling at how low they were. A minute of two after a plane landed I happened to glimpse out of my right eye a sort of whitish-grey spherical object moving slowly coming from the East. I remember thinking to myself..."What the hell is that" Then started going through a set of observations. No blinking lights, no vapor trail, no flapping wings. Ok, sure it's got to be a satellite- oh cool how lucky was I to see that; I thought. So I continued to follow this object and then the thing was just about overhead of me and then I swear it zipped North and then zipped again North West so quick that it was gone in just a second and a half. Again I thought with no signs of it being a plane, bird or wait a minute; satellites don't move like this either. I just remember saying to myself again; what the hell was that ? Nothing rational explanation and I left just thinking yeah... I could say I saw something that I couldn't explain. In 31 years this was the only time that ever happened. So that's it. My brush with a UFO. I could have called the FAA or whoever and reported it; but who will believe ya and why waste your time. It is what it is. I don't know what I saw; but I have an open mind that anything is possible. We will be sending a manned mission to Mars in a few years right ? Or at least that's what I keep reading. Do you think 100 years ago we'd think that was rational to think ? Perhaps we are way behind and there is other more advanced Intelligent life out there - who knows. It will be interesting to see how this O'Hare Intl incident that occurred on Nov 7th plays out or if anything else is said about it. Have fun. PS: loved the humor in one of these posts about seeing Santa Claus as a UFO. Nice.

My affidavit attesting to the details of my sighting accompanied about 30 others which were offered into evidence in Peter Gersten's court case against the Department of Defense a couple years ago. It was an FOIA suit attempting to acquire any documents the DoD might have related to this particular type of UFO. Gersten presented a favorable argument and the judge ordered the DoD to search for and present any such documents. Of course the DoD claimed they had nothing and eventually the judge went along with the government on this one. My complete report describing the sighting follows below.

---------------------------

This report is followed by a short addendum which may be of interest.

---------------------------

CLOSE ENCOUNTER with the BLACK TRIANGLE UFO

The following is a true and accurate account of my “close encounter” in Seattle Washington which occurred in 1993. I believe it was in the month of November.

It was a Sunday night about 9:30. I often had occasion to be driving north about that time of evening on Sundays and I usually took the I-5 freeway. This time, however, I knew the freeway, northbound, was jammed up due to an accident. So I took an alternate route which eventually led me to what I think was East Marginal Way, right next to the main Boeing Aircraft facility in Seattle.

As I was traveling, northbound, I noticed three red lights low in the sky ahead of me and to my right. They were moving in unison, very slowly across my field of vision from east to west. At first I thought they must be the lights of a low flying plane, perhaps about to land. Then I thought, no, they must be helicopters because a plane, even if it was landing, wouldn't be moving that slowly. The trouble was, I couldn't actually see the craft or crafts that the lights were attached to. They were, maybe, a half mile ahead of me, about 30 degrees to my right. Normally, I wouldn't have paid much attention to this because I'd been making that Sunday night drive past Boeing (although via the freeway) for twelve years. This is also not too far from the Sea-Tac Airport. In all that time I'd seen plenty of airplanes and helicopters flying low in this area. But something was different this time. It took me a minute to realize what it was. It was the fact that the lights weren't blinking. I thought that was odd. It seemed to me every airplane or helicopter I've ever seen flying at night had blinking lights. I squinted my eyes as I drove toward the lights, trying to see just what I was actually looking at. Although I was now only about two blocks away from being directly under the flight path of these lights, I still could not make out what they were attached to. However, from their slow, steady movement, in unison, I was pretty sure all three of them were attached to a single object rather than being independent of each other. By the time I was directly in line with their flight path, they were about to enter the airspace above Boeing Field to my immediate left. At this point I was convinced it was a single, low-flying craft of some kind and I knew there was something very odd here. I pulled my car off to the side of the road and rolled down the window to get a better look. But the craft was now directly overhead so I had to get out of the car to see it.

I opened the car door and stepped out. Craning my neck to see the craft as it passed slowly directly over my head at an estimated altitude of less than 500 feet (Note: at the actual time of the sighting my impression was that the craft was perhaps only about 150 feet above me) I could see it was a gigantic black triangle. There is no other way to describe it because that's precisely what it was; a huge, black, triangle; not just "sort of" triangular shaped, like one of those stealth jets I'd seen photos of. It was just one big, three-sided, cookie-cutter-straight-edged, black, geometric shape; a triangle with one large, round unblinking red light at each of its three corners, flat up against the underside of the craft. There was a high, gray cloud cover that evening, subtly lit by the Seattle city lights in the distance. I could clearly and unobstructedly see the object like a huge, dense black silhouette against this gray ceiling.

I stood there almost not believing what I knew I was seeing. I actually said to myself, “Ok. What, exactly, are you seeing? You're going to want to remember every detail of this! Just the facts, now. What, exactly, do you see?” I made a mental inventory. “Black triangle. Red light on each corner, flat up against the underside of the craft. They don't blink. ...(Note: at this point it has proceeded on past me and was now over Boeing field) ...It looks like it's about seventy-five to a hundred feet above one of the main Boeing hangars. It's moving very slowly. Maybe five miles per hour. It's heading west. It appears to be about the size of a football field.”

Suddenly I realized, as I stood there in the dark on this quiet empty street, the object didn't make a sound! Maybe more than anything else, that's what made the whole thing so eerie. Something that huge, that close, moving through the air at a snail's pace should be making some kind of a sound. A hum. A rumble. Anything. But, no. It just moved across the sky like something out of a Steven Spielberg movie with the volume turned off. I looked up and down the street to see if anyone else was witnessing this silent event, but the street was dark and empty in both directions. It occurred to me, however, that the thing had just passed directly over hundreds of cars on the freeway which was only a few miles east of where I was standing. I looked up again at the mysterious craft now blending into the dark horizon. I watched it until I couldn't see it anymore and then it was over.

I got back into my car and closed the door. The window was still open and I took another look. Nothing was there but the gray night sky, softly aglow from the distant city lights. It was as if nothing had happened. All the way home I just kept asking myself, “What the hell was that?” I'm still wondering.

-----------------------------------------------------

Addendum:

The weekend following my sighting (referenced above), I told my ex-wife about it. We're on good terms and I was either picking up my son for a weekend visit or returning him. I can't recall which. In any case, her response to what I told her was rather shocking but it may be significant to note that she has no interest in the UFO phenomenon and is not prone to making up such stories "off the cuff".

She works as a cocktail waitress and has conversations with many people during the course of her work. She told me that one of her customers, a Boeing employee, told her that there was an underground manufacturing facility located somewhere on the Boeing property where they were building a huge, triangular craft. Supposedly this was a "secret" underground facility that no one was really supposed to know about. I asked her what else he told her but, having no real interest in such things and being very busy that evening, she didn't bother to ask any questions or in any way follow up on the conversation. As I recall, she didn't know who this fellow was as he was apparently not one of the "regulars".

I don't know if this story has any merit or not but I did find it very curious, especially coming from her and especially since I did see the craft cruise slowly, directly over the Boeing manufacturing plant. Also of interest is the fact that Boeing made big news in 2002 when a story hit the press that they were experimenting with anti-gravity propulsion. Later, however, they denied it. I recall, however, that some researcher (I think it may have been Bill Hamilton) actually saw a 45 page document from Boeing pertaining to the anti-gravity research. It occurred to me at the time of the sighting that the craft seemed much too big to be able to cruise that slowly without just falling to the ground. In fact it's more accurately descriptive to say it was "floating" rather than flying.

In any case, as I said, My ex-wife not only has no interest in such matters, she's also not one to come up with such imaginative tales on the spur of the moment. She was quite serious when she related this incident to me. Again, this was back in November of 1993.

Hello, All. Hi, Robin of Pittsburgh. Thanks for the tip. I will go and check out Stan Gordon. In reading the latest comments above, I've decided something. I've decided that if any unearthly lights should ever approach my vicinity, I'm going to declare "Battle Stations" and break out the weaponry with all due haste. After all, if the Air Force sees fit to scramble their jets after them, I figure I can also take a defensive posture. I'll just assume that their only purpose is abduction and not communication. Well, OPM, I'm out of facts that can be analyzed and I don't know what to pursue further. I sure had my Eureka moments, though. Maybe I'll have more comments later. Boy, aren't these latest posts terrific? Of course I do believe them as true. NOT believing them is way behind me. See ya. Regards! CT

Randy, Boise, Idaho — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 17:49:02 GMT

Hi. I have witnessed three incidents of unknown craft at relatively close range that did not resemble any publicly disclosed aircraft. Each was independently photographed or verified by other witnesses. The craft in two incidents were within 500 yards of me. Two incidents were in broad daylight, and the third was at twilight. I do not know who was flying them, but I do not think they came from off-planet. I accept the possibility they could have.

To me the most bizarre incident happened within a week, or so, of October 1, 1973 and took place a few miles southwest of Twin Falls, Idaho. It was about noon and I was in my car talking to my girlfriend on a rural road in front of her farm house. I noticed three objects coming from the northwest and assumed they were Air Guard helicopters going to the Twin Falls Airport. As they drew near I realized there was no sunlight flashing from the rotors and that caught my attention. They were passing about 100 feet above the ground, and they were on our side of a ridge that was located about 600 yards to the west of us. They were moving slowly, perhaps 80-miles per hour or less. Each of the three craft was oval-shaped about 50-feet long and about 30-feet tall. The large end of the oval was directed forward. They drew close enough that I could see that the surface seemed to be made of distinct large panels that seemed to overlap or join along straight edges. I saw the front, entire side profile, and back of each craft in the formation including most of the under surface. I could not see any rivet lines, windows, airfoils, lights, or any exhaust ports of any sort, and believe me I was trying! The color was velvet black that did not reflect any light. They were traveling in a straight line, in a vertical-triangular formation, about 50-feet apart—or approximately the same distance as their length. I watched them for a total of perhaps 30 to 60 seconds until they crossed the ridge to the south. I did notice one very interesting thing: as they moved along, there was a barely perceptible up-and-down motion of a few inches. It was very quick and happened perhaps every second or so. Later I thought, now if you had a weightless craft, then it would continually have to compensate for slight winds…Naw!

I finally decided this was some secret U.S. aircraft. 1972-73 was an intense era of UFO flaps and many had been reported all across southern Idaho as well as the rest of the nation. That winter I was in Salt Lake City and told the story to a friend and drew a diagram. Well…. His father had seen a similar three craft in formation over Ogden, Utah in broad daylight. We confirmed that the date was within a day or so of my sighting. My friend´s father had called the municipal airport. “Yes,” they reported they saw the craft visually, but nothing registered on radar. He then called the tower at nearby Hill Air Force Base. “No,” they said they did not see the craft visually and nothing showed on radar.

In 1974 the newspapers carried a military photo of an egg-shaped metallic aircraft large enough for two people. It was small, open on both sides like a bubble helicopter, and had very large, very visible, fan ports—really, sort of a glorified hovercraft. It looked like a cover-story photo to me, but I have wondered: if what we saw were secret U.S. craft then what were they doing flying over heavily populated areas in broad daylight? And what was the propulsion system? Surely, other folks must have seen similiar craft about this time.

Credibility and experience: I have a general science background and a good lay-understanding of relativity, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics including public-knowledge nuclear propulsion—in other words, the likely state-of-art here on earth. I could recognize, on sight, most of the publicly announced military aircraft flying up to about the year 2000 including the SR-71 (seen many times) and the stealth fighter and bomber (never seen). I have seen scores of weather balloons in all sizes at many distances, including the giant “Sky-hook” (also have found at least a score of the balloon radio soundes—usually mangled—but did return one intact one to the Post Office as per instructions printed on the side). I have had many hundreds, probably thousands of satellite sightings including Iridium flashes, the ISS and Space Shuttle in orbit, and the 100-foot silvered Echo satellite-balloon of the early 1960s, also Sputnik 2—now that dates me! Ditto perhaps tens of thousands of meteors including one incredible giant. I observed the eerie night-time sodium vapor rockets (or so they said, heh) launched hundreds of miles high over Nevada in the mid 1960-s. I have seen countless auroras and have spent thousands of hours outdoors in mountain and desert wilderness—much of it under military airspace. I have seen a lot of natural phenomena. I have never seen “swamp gas.” Sounds bad.

ok. for good reasons. I suppose that the person that decides what goes up on this blog didnt like my response for Teresa of Vancouver. So I'll just tell my first encounter involving a UFO. (An important note to add is that the area in which this incident took place. Was not far from a "ley" line. This is a natural magnetic line within the earth. They are everywhere. It is a real natural occurrence). (I'm still trying to piece together sightings and ley lines/ If anyone has any theories i'd love to hear them.)

I have witnessed many strange things in my life but this was freakier than most. I was with my mother and my sister swimming in our pool at my parents.(In the suburbs..not a remote field). when I heard an extremely loud noise.(what i described to investigators as thunder..I was about ten.) What I saw..I will never forget. I'm 35 now. I remember it like it was yesterday. As I looked up, I saw a massive disc shaped object with what appeared to be a series of smaller discs stacked on top. Its main body was had a series of lights spinning rapidly clockwise in what i am now assuming was the whole circumfrence of the vehicle. I only seen it from one particular angle. At that point my mother recalls looking at me. she said i looked like a ghost. I couldnt speak at the time. I just pointed. My mother caught sight of what i guess was the tail of the object disappearing from vision. (There was a large ash tree there.)

Grabbed my sister and me and headed for the house. (I regret that now) unfortunately my sister was still climbing out of the pool. (And just heard the noise.) I do recall the police showing up later the evening asking about reports of a possible accident. Some kids down the street heard it at a park. the object would have been directly above them. But they described it to police as we later discovered as the sound of racing tracker-trailers. I cant prove what my mother or i saw and heard. But I'll sure never forget it.

Mardi C, Dallas, Texas — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 20:10:32 GMT

Extraterrestrial life? Anyone who's ever contemplated the number of stars in the visible universe (there's over 100,000,000,000 stars in our Milky Way galaxy and over 100,000,000,000 galaxies that we can see) knows there simply has to be.

I saw a UFO in the summer of '65. I was with a group of friends in Miami, FL, when we all noticed an ultra-white trianglular spinning object slowly moving from East to West. I could not estimate its size as there were no clouds in the sky so I could not tell its altitude. The object approached us, stopping almost directly overhead and hovered in place. We were all yelling and pointing, and excitedly asking each other if we all saw the same thing. The object hovered for about a minute and then very suddenly shot out of sight towards the South - but it didn't accelerate - it went from hover to full speed in a fraction of a second. And there was no sound at all, even when it sped away.

So, if we are being visited - and possible by several civilizations as implied by the diversity of the sightings - why have they not landed and introduced themselves? As other posters have pointed out, we cannot possible know their motives or intensions. But one thing is certain - Humanity has been broadcasting our existence and every minute detail about our history, our culture, and our level of development to the universe since the invention of the radio and TV. An alien civilization would not need to dirty their hands with a personal visit when everything they need to know is being beamed straight to them, now in high definition!

My best guess is that we've been the object of study for thousands of years, much like ants who have no idea they are in an ant farm. Chances are, we're probably the best "dog and pony" show in this corner of the galaxy!

Will they eventually make contact and welcome us to the galactic village? I personally believe so, but not until our civilization has more to offer than Al-Qaeda, Darfur, and the rape of our Earth's environment. At our present level of development, we'll be lucky if they don't take a cosmic can of Raid to our little ant farm!

Mardi, they have no reason to destroy us because we are doing that on our own.They are just sitting back and picking the best of the best from our gene pool. They have been doing that for thousands of years. We are a declining civilization,only the gentler and wiser among us will become a part of their world."The meek shall inherit the earth." They certainly won't need the likes of Paris Hilton and people who spend valuable time on such mundane, useless activities. There have been so many sightings because they are gathering all they can before we use up what remaining resources there are. Earth will become another Mars. This time however they will be ready to re-stock the ant farm with only the best.

Dianne Roy, Cornwall, Ontario, Canada — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 19:50:07 GMT

I have had the excitement of seeing UFOs on 3 separate occasions. The main happenstance was around 1965, when thousands reported seeing this object across North America. It was dark, I was driving along our local highway where the embankment to our power dam generating station lies, and this object, although it could not be seen because of the dark, you could follow the path as it flew above the walls of the power dam. At intervals, it flashed a strong beam of light towards to the power dam (bright enough to light up a football field) and then the light would go out and again in a minute or two, it would flash again as it travelled across the walls of the power dam to the American side. This continued at regular intervals until I could no longer see it. This incidence was widely reported in newspapers and in the news on TV.

#2... My mother and I would often sit in our lawnchairs on a summer's night to watch the stars. It was around 10 p.m. on an August evening around 1975. We were getting ready to go inside when one last look toward the heavens produced this humungous view. Our house is a double story which at its highest is about 30 feet. As we looked over the rooftop, this gigantic monster completely blocked out all street light and lights from stars in the sky... the sky became completely black. We were looking at the underbelly of this monster. It looked like lighted portholes underneath the perimeter with 2 identical spheres trailing just behind... like they were going to park themselves inside. There was absolutely no sound. If we had not looked up, we would have missed this phenomenon. I guess the altitude would have been at 30000 feet where we commonly see airplanes on their way to an airport about 80 miles away. We waited an hour and again saw this "mothership" but at a higher altitude... probably at 50000 feet where overseas planes fly over our heads. The 2 spheres which were noticeable on the previous flyby were nowhere to be seen. It really reminded me of the gigantic mothership in the advertisement for the movie. It had to be huge to block out the light from the sky as it did. I waited to hear something in the news during the next few days but never heard a whisper of what we saw.

#3 I was sitting at a gas station waiting for the attendant to fill my tank when I looked to my left and in the distance in broad daylight, I saw a cigar-shaped object dash to the right for several feet and then completely reverse itself and dash to the left. It did not bank around as an airplane would do.. it just darted to the right at extreme speed and then just as fast, darted to the left. I can't remember what year this happened.

I am not a professional stargazer.. if it can happen to me, it can happen to you if you just open your eyes.

We don't have anything to worry about. What civilization, in their right mind, would want anything to do with Mother Earth now that we have completely devastated her?

Loren Veltkamp — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 20:16:53 GMT

When I was a teenager, my now deceased father was a minister doing missionary work in Washington state in Tacoma. An airforce commander in his congregation invited our family over for dinner. The man had a son my age and we listened to the brand new Beatles Album: Magical Mystery tour for the first time. When we were done, I went downstairs and found my father in a very heated discussion with the airforce commander. To summarize: the commander claimed that he had seen aliens and that many of his associates in the airforce had too. The man could not understand how God in the Bible could omit mentioning the existence of extra terrstirials if they existed. The man was having a crisis of faith. My father simply told him repeatedly that little green men do not exist and that he must have imagined the whole thing. The commander repeated that he saw them "down south" and that there was no room for error, it was a fact, and the Bible says nothing about this, therefore the Bible cannot be the infallible word of God, etc. They sort of changed the subject as I was listening in, but on the way home I never ever saw my father so upset and so profoundly shaken. Clearly this man had gotten to him as no one ever did in the forty years I knew him. He would not talk about it at all with me as pastoral counseling is strictly confidential. My mother claims the event never happened and that I should stop listening to the Beatles.

I can't say if UFO's are real or not. But I can tell you that over the last 15 years I have had dreams about being taken.One was went I was in a V.A. hospital. I told them that they couldn't take me because I was hooked to a IV.and EKG machine. A little bit later the room went back the way it should have been.This is only one of my dreams there have been 8 to 10 that I remember. I was told that they have been picking me up since I was about 5 or 6 years old.

Carlos, Austin, Tx. — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 02:24:50 GMT

Hi, All. I think we can lay to rest the idea that these flying objects are earthly for the following reason. That reason is that these objects have been reported in the media since the 60's, the 50's, and the 40's. Before then, these reports didn't reach the media but became known in different ways nevertheless. So, if the phenomenon already existed so far back in time, it can't possibly be attributed to anybody's new top secret project, can it? (No, the Third Reich didn't invent them either). Besides, the aliens themselves have been observed often enough to confirm they're not of this world. Regards! CT

I forgot to mention that our sighting was in march near my youngest girls birthday[3/20/90].the sphere zoomed off in the direction of A.E.D.C.[Arnold Engineering & Development Corp.]or Arnold Air Force Base as we call it around here,which is 30 miles or so away.Any thing that can be almost out of sight before you can say"what the heck is that?",could not be from Earth.If it was, someone by now would be cashing in on it by car makers or airplane makers or someone cause if the had that kind of technology we would be buying that for our own transportation needs.Can you imagine getting place to place at those speeds?I only got out the words"What the?"before it was almost out of sight.2 seconds to say that and it was gone.If it was our tech.,believe me someone would be cashing in on it and we'd be traveling in it today.

MG, Montana, U.S.A. — Sun, 07 Jan 2007 00:31:39 GMT

I have documentation that shows I reported UFO-Alien face to face contact in the early 1970's and after making a report was taken to a military research program. My case has been investigated and no one has proven I lie. Why? because of all the stories told, some are quite simply, true. The 'MILAB' theory might account for this but I have serious doubts it is the only answer. When I hear similar stories I am skeptical but I know that what I saw was genuinely non-terrestial based on several things. It changed my world view in a major way. The Stephen Hawking comment made by another poster here is one I personally think makes sense.

At about 10:30 P.M. i was standing outside of my house in bend, oregon and out of the corner of my eye i saw what i thought was a shooting star or a comet. I quickly realized that this was no shooting star. It was much closer than a either a shooting or a comet. It looked to be about as high as a passenger airliner (maybe slgihtly higher). It went from the right side of the sky to the left in about 5-6 seconds. It look like a giant meteor but much too close with a fiery red/ orange color trailing it. I could hear a whooshing sound -very- faintly. Then it looked like it dissapeared. Was it a missle? A meteor? Or, least likely, was it a UFO?? I have no idea and never will.

Perhaps some of what we call stars are not as far away as we are led to believe and they may not all be stars.I refer to my comment of 1/2/07.It seems rather odd that an object could pass behind a (star)as it is being observed.The object was seen by the naked eye and it definitely passed behind at least two stars as I watched.Maybe what we think are stars are actually camoflaged objects made to look like bright stars while they are observing us.On several occasions I have commented to my wife "that star looks close enough to touch".There also seems to be an awful lot of high altitude activity with what look like combat jets in our area lately.

this morning at 1:00am, i was about to shut my blinds when right out side my window i saw a figure. it wasn't a star for it was too bright and kept changing colors. it also wasnt out of the atmosphere it was where a plane would be. it was a sphere of colorful changing lights in the sky and was moving in a circular movement. it wasnt a plane, for it only moved in a cirle. i know i wasnt dreaming, for i pinched myself and left the room and then came back and it was still there. my friend saw a blueish-green one also last night. my teacher saw it on the news. i know im not making this up! for awhile it looked as though it was moving w/tentacles and had a belt that changed colors. it was extremely bright; i couldnt keep my eyes off of it.

Try this one on for size. The place was Barrie, Ontario. The date was a week prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001.

On the first night the object was seen moving east, the second night it was seen moving north. The local news station were receiving calls from people all over the area wondering what was going on. A news station reported it as being a piece of the MIR space station. MIR had previously been taken out of orbit, making re-entery over the Pacific, where it broke apart, and the flaming pieces scattered like a debris field over the surface of the ocean.

The only thing that I have to say at this time is I guess we should have had a camera strapped to us.

Aliens are real,ufos are real. I believe I met real
aliens ET's on several occasions, but I can't prove
anything, and don't care if anyone believes me or not.
Contacts are mostly random. They may find people in
the jungle and make contact. In about 1958-59 I met
a strange "monster" in the hallway of my home.
It paralyzed me from a distance then used a telepathic
voice:"Do not be afraid, we will not harm you"
then this entity glided towards me off the surface
of the floor, and then put me into a greenish tinted cloud (maybe hyperspace bubble) and turned off my consciousness. I was standing up, but, later
I found myself on the floor in a back room from my position in the hallway with a missing time type experience,as if I was dumped off later.
This one was what they call the wrinkled skin
or elephant skinned alien which is actually a
robot used by some unknown alien group. This
group I found out much later in life was the
SAME basically as in the 1973 Mississippi case
of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, the two
fishermen. These guys said wrinkled skinned creature
s floating down to them from an oval shaped space
craft ufo, they were paralyzed, abducted and released.
There are several other races or species of alien
ET's as well. I study ufology as a hobby and consider
myself to be somewhat of an expert myself although
not really recognized by anyone.

Mark Bartolomeo — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 23:31:22 GMT

Hi I am writing to see if anyone else reported seeing this at the same time as I did. It was 1977 and I was 8 years old living at 532 east st in brockton MA. it was about 8:00pm on a friday night and I was watching our neighbors out our living room window having a party, people were swimming and having fun then in the the clear night sky I saw a lighted flying object which at first I tought was a plane since I loved anything to do with flying and knew alot about all the planes back then I thought for sure I would know what it was. but as it came closer towards our house I could see that it was not a plane and that it was something I had never seen before it was about 500' in the night sky and was just sitting there no noise or anything, I looked to see if I was the only one seeing this or if our neighbor where also and they were I herd some of them screaming and people where jumping out of the pool running towards the house, I ducked down in the window so that the (ufo)could not see me, I was scared but still looked with disbelife, but the really strange thing was that as I remember it. I looked at the clock on the wall before it all happened and it was 8:00 I remember this because it was my bedtime but the whole thing seemed to last about 5 min at most but when I looked at the clock again it was 8:45 just like that. the (flying object)had stayed over our houses the neighbors and ours and the within a split second it flew down back behinde our homes about 1/4 mile and shot straight into the sky and was gone. I never asked our neighbors about it because the didn't really like us all that well there father worked nights and slept in the day the same time that we would ride our dirt bikes and wake him up. As a kid you don't quiet understand that kind of stuff but today wel, I guess I would say sorry. I dont know if anything will come of this but I would love to see if anyone else that was there that night might see this and remember that night.

A few months ago, the night the President of the USA gave his speech about the Iran situation, I was outside looking at the stars and out of the blackness of the night came this deltoide aerospace vehicle,which only showed itself for a few seconds,but they were interesting ones. Out of the center of the bottom of the vehicle came this greenish/white laser targeting beam that pointed at me..and the afterglow of the lazer illuminated the deltoid vehicle, which then vanished into the blackness of space. I noted its position among the stars and thought nothing of it at the time. Upon reflection some months later, I realized the space craft had flown half way BETWEEN taurus the bull and the pleiades ...is this significant? one being the bull and the other pleiades...WAS THIS CRAFT TRYING TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS NEITHER A BULL, NOR A PLEADER, BUT NEUTRAL???????HALF WAY BETWEEN WAR AND PEACE WAS THE WAY TO GO....

1973 West Portland Oregon. 185th @ Sunset hwy 26 west. Driving south over freeway overpass. Bright light 3 to 5 times the sized of full moon. My passenger yells "Its made of metal" The moon had set 1-2 hrs before sighting. 1 hour after sunset. I and my roommate got out of car on busy hwy. No one was around, which in itself was weird. After watching round light for a couple of minutes? the round light flashed like a camera of white light, the 3 seconds later flashed red, 3 seconds later flashed blue, 3 seconds later flashed like a camera with white brilliant light. then an instant later the next flash was over the west hill of Portland, 20 miles away, then a faint flicker of light. I lived with my roommate for a year later and never mentioned it. And never remembered it til 20 yrs later. I was definitly detained somehow. My uncle was a decorated Air Force engineer on a b24 and told me to not believe in outer space beings, but rather local technology.

At my fathers farm one bright sunny day,I noticed a black spot in the sky to the west/southwest maybe 35degrees above the horizon and at great distance. I continued to watch this spot because I knew it was something very different from what I experience working around airports for 14 years as ground and aircrew. As the object approached,its shape became more defined.... 1--o was aprox how it looked..slick and laminar air/flow. BUT as it approached the farm it started to morph into a silver,metalic blimp like object,with the craft morphing into functional shaps for scanning of it surrondings..THE approach of the object was silent, but after morphining it had some weird sounds that I thought might be of some type of sound lazer nav/radar...I have personely deep questions as to weather or not this was a black world project, or vistors not of this planet..MY gut reaction and feeling is not of this planet. But how does one ever answer this Question..

People, I have came to the conclusion about several things on the discussion of UFO's, aliens, and the whole 9 yards. My take on the subject is this: Considering the results of ongoing advanced technology here on earth, we can do some amazing things, and have some pretty spectacular air/space craft that we either do or don't know mostly about. This I consider is what we mostly witness here. Projects and test flights of advanced earth based craft, and that if anyone did witness a space based craft piloted by aliens from other beings... this would be rare indeed. Because as we all know, there is NO way that an alien race would make itself identifiable. Reason being, they're too smart. They know that if we got the technology in our adolescent stage of civilization, we'd destroy ourselves.. They know, and we know it. Therefore, if they are visiting.. they're observing. And that's a fact, because they know that life here on earth must evolve to a point of non-self-extinctive level. They'd be fools to come out and say "hello earthlings, here we are, and here is out technology". From my standpoint.. there is life elswhere in this universe, there HAS to be considering the odds, and are they travelling here to observe us? ... Highly unlikely, unless they've figured out how to travel faster than light or fold space, or jump through wormholes. The thing is, there may be more to discover than what we speculate on. We are afterall, pretty primitive. ~

Back in 1989 when I was 14 years old my Mom, Aunt, Grandmother, myself and two nephews were driving from Lewiston, Idaho back to Boise, Idaho. A few miles out of Grangeville, Idaho we saw to the right of my mothers car a bronze color UFO flying over a open range field. The top of the craft was stationary while the lower part of the craft spun.

We all knew what we had seen. But we never talked about the matter ever again. The reason we never did was we didn't want our family or friends to think we were nuts or had made up some UFO story. To this day I still think about what we had seen. I am not one who is a conspiracy theorist. I am a person who doesn't want to tarnish my families name over a debate I know nobody will ever believe what myself and those in my mothers car had seen. Even if I took a lie detector test and passed with flying colors. I know from my own eyes we are not alone in this universe.

Hypothetically speaking, what is the main difference between a race of beings that has advanced space travel technology as opposed to one that doesn't? .. I do not consider the space shuttle "an advanced space travel vehicle" either. I'm talking about near, at, or above light speed.

The advanced race would of had to come to terms with the ethical usage of such technology. To understand something is to control it, but self control us the ultimate understanding.

They either have the choice of A)using the technology for the good of their kind, or B)use the technology to rape and pillage the universe. I believe at this point, any race that meets or exceeds a certain technological level, somehow humbles itself in it's own rival. Take for instance, the atom bomb. It was developed, its destruction demonstrated, then, it was put to rest.. Certainly all adult human beings on this planet understand it's capability, and fundamentally know that it would be an evil thing to detonate such a weapon anywhere in the world without a good reason.. not to mention it's post explosive damage. So, our race has it.. but, the right thing not to use it for evil has been determined by the ones that control it. So far anyhow.

Now, the big question remains.. would we use advanced space travel technology for evil purposes? .. No.. and you know why? .. Because the people that are smart enough to develop it already know what it's capable of and their own aspirations for creating such a thing would not be for an intent to harm people, the earth, or other beings. Not to say, if it fell into the wrong hands, especially that of a dictator, or a terrorist group, or religious radicals.. and those of you who ARE religious radicals know who you are.. you are the people that believe in killing someone because you think GOD wants you to. (idiots).

So, are the aliens visiting us a threat? No, and I'm sure the government knows this. That is why the official statement has been "UFO's pose no threat to National Security". Also, that's a buff line to cover up black projects. BUT, let's keep it on the right track here... I think when we do develop an advanced form of space travel, there will be a welcoming. From all of the other species that has attained this level and there will be a new uniformity of life in the universe as earthlings know it. However, there is the possibility.. that near, at, or above light spead is not achievable by physical means.. meaning only energy can travel at that speed. If that is true.. then the universe will always be a big place and it is doubtful that us or any other species will contact each other on a physical basis. Perhaps communication will take place via some other form of way, but I think if this is the case, nobody's been, has, or will be coming to visit us here on our tiny planet, and vice versa.

Thanks for listening.. comments welcome.

Hi, OPM,

Most everything you said makes sense to me. I still think you underestimate the alien's technological know-how and overestimate our own. But that's a minor point. Me, I've largely lost interest in E.T.'s. I really don't care about them, except when they interfere with us. And you're probably right about the large universe-small planet comparison. They probably regard us as just one point of interest among many.

I'd like to thank Alan Boyle for the opportunity he afforded me in this log to set this matter to rest- at least in my own mind. With the understanding I've gained here, I can't be too awed by them anymore. I wouldn't trade places with any of them, since I think I'm better off in this world than they are in their saucers. Our oceans, mountains, rivers, valleys,and prairies are pretty hard for the confines of a flying saucer to beat, don't you think?

Nice chatting with you OPM.

Doctor Scmit ,of the High Desert California — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 11:09:30 GMT

11-16-96 ABOUT 7:45PM. Huge black triangular craft
over 15 Interstate freeway and major cross street.
Sighted for about 6 min. Dark dull metallic surface
with some lights on bottom. Very large, looked like
1-2 football fields in area and thick on sides too,
10-20 ft. There also 3 black or dark green unmarked
helicoptors on the sides as if escorting the object.
The large triangle was hovering silently. the helicopters made their usual noise. Military test antigravity vehicle or alien space ship in escort??
Nothing in the local newspaper except for the
meeting of 70 people at a newage bookstore soon afterwards.

Okay you're an advanced technological civilization. You have presumably been around a lot longer than Homo Sapiens. Your civilization has been able to survive the kinds of religious and political strife that has held us earthlings back. Now you take your fantastic flying whatever for a spin around the galaxy. Assuming that your flying whatever can travel at or beyond the speed of light, the distances you travel will still consume time from one place to another. So you and your crew decide to explore star/planetary systems and you have a random choice of billions of potential systems to look at. Somehow you happen to be in our outward arm of the Milkway galaxy(known as something else to these people). You pick up some early earth radio broadcasts at the outer range of when we first sent radio and other electromagnetic signals( just a small number of light years out). It would be like casting a fishing line out off the coast of California and expecting to get a fishes attention near Japan. These signals apper to be from a civilization that had at least developed radio so you order the space craft to make a course to the source of the radio transmission. Assuming this travel effort is not too far out of the way you will arrive at the source in a relatively reasonable amount of time. Your ship has entered the "Sol" system and your instruments have pinpointed the electromagnetic source of all of the activity on the 4th planet from the star(know only to us as "The Sun"). From what you are able to discern from your space craft, the species on this planet are very diverse with one particular bipedal species responsible for all of the technology. So how do you proceed? Do you have a kind of prime directive that prohibits revealing yourself(probably, not since everybody and their cousin sees you). Do you draw some attractive but apparently nonsensical images in wheat fields. Do you chase about in the planets atmosphere like kids out for a joy ride. Do you capture, examine and scare the witts out of some of the bipedals. Do you carve up animals and leave their remains laying around so the bipedals will ponder the purpose. Is there some constructive reason to spend all of the time and energy and what must be a huge effort, to visit this planet, only to act in rediculous trivial ways? Ignorance of what we don't understand has lead humans to create answers with out facts which has lead to most of the greatest blunders of our exsistance.

Samuel W. Fields, Lawrence, Kansas 66044 — Thu, 03 May 2007 03:36:20 GMT

Back in the early Spring of 1993. I was standing on the sidewalk on Ohio Street in Lawrence, Kansas, looking eastward towards the Kansas City sky line. It was mid-day and the sky was filled with a grey haze of overcast with good visibility. The clouds were high in the upper most atmosphere and I gess you could say that the sky was a silver grey all around. I forget the date since some time has past since, but I will remember what I saw for the rest of my life. If you have heard of big foot syndrome, then I would say that for many years I did not tell this to any living sole, because I know that on that day in 1993 ,I saw the devil or his equal. I was talking to a man that lives next door. He was behind me sitting on some steps and I was on the side walk and the trees had not yet budded out and we were talking about the house accross the street and as I looked around to the east I saw just over the roof top of 1126 Ohio street, a spect on the Kansas City sky line. At first I thought it was an airplane, Because it was like seeing and airplane approaching Kansas City. But to my surprise in about a half a second it had gotten larger and was closer to the size of a blimp, and then I said "look" to the man and pointed at the object and in about the count of one...two... it was over us. Huge, greyish brown like a cannon ball. Small burst of static lighting arked on its surface as it ripped through the air. A small misty short exhaust tale, steaming in its wake. SOB, was all I could say. It seemed to slow down and it went over us and west ward over the hills of the University of Kansas. It was like one, two , three, four ... and it was gown. From the time I saw the speck over Kansas City until it was over the hill and out of sight. I could feel the gravity of its weight as it passed. When driving to Wichita one day a B52 came over us as it started to land. You could feel its mass as it went over. This ball changed gravity as it passed. As I pointed at it and said "look", it was upon us and at arms lenth at 12:00 high, it was the size of a large dinner plate. I am 6'4", you do the math. For it to be a speck over Kansas City as if it were an air plane and the size of a dinner plate over Lawrence i.e. 35 miles due west of Kansas City in about two to three seconds I would say it was at 65,000 feet considering the grey high alt. clouds and good visibility . Several months later I heard about brail. The was not the peanut shaped astriod that Nasa cought up with nine years later. This was a perfect ball shape.

Why I never told this to anyone. Because I new that what I saw was unique. I know that what I saw told me something about the universe, space, gravity, and magnetic force. Speed and mass and like charges. Because the cannon ball never struck earth but it came down and skimmed the earths positive force with positive force and between the two forces they never touched. My gess ,it was very heavy, posibility nickel and iron and very positivly charged. Speed alone would not have saved us from having a grand caynon from Topeka to Denver.

So, I have thought through the study of this event and have decided to share this with you.

I've read the last three posts. I found them all interesting, and thanks Carlos, it's a pleasure to share ideas now and then with you. The second to last article, by Mr. GT in Palisade, CO. I enjoyed your point of view on the matter. Considering what you said stems from facts made it even better. I'm not the wisest, or smartest, or even the ugliest person in the world :), but I do know that if the universe is physical, and it can be touched.. than it can be manipulated. The oceans and the air were utilized for travel just as I think one day space will on a regular basis. It just takes time. Do we know the secrets of time/space travel? .. Someone knows.. there is one person on this planet that knows the real answer.. who that person is, I don't know. Would they ever come forth and make that answer public?.. No.. you know why?.. because information is always controlled. You can have all the UFO sightings in the world, including solid hardcore evidence, but if the people who know the truth themselves deny the existance of such a thing.. who's to argue? There must be a way to cheat the distance of space and time.. everything in the universe must not and cannot be so linear.. point A to B.. 1,2,3. I believe there has to be another way to cover vast distances of space without linear travel. I lack the scientific knowledge to touch on it.. but maybe someone else out there does. ~

An excerpt that I think you will all find interesting. I believe Tesla had the answer, which is why it is still "classified - top secret" even today.

A quote from "Tesla's New Monarch of Machines", New York Herald Tribune Oct.15 1911:

“When I found that I had been anticipated as to the flying machine, by men working in a different field, I began to study the problem from other angles, to regard it as a mechanical rather than an electrical problem. I felt certain there must be some means of obtaining power that was better than any now in use. And by vigorous use of my gray matter for a number of years, I grasped the possibilities of the principle of the viscosity and adhesion of fluids and conceived the mechanism of my engine. Now that I have it, my next step will be the perfect flying machine."

"An aeroplane driven by your engine?" I asked.

"Not at all," said Dr. Tesla. "The aeroplane is fatally defective. It is merely a toy — a sporting play-thing. It can never become commercially practical. It has fatal defects. One is the fact that when it encounters a downward current of air it is helpless. The "hole in the air" of which aviators speak is simply a downward current, and unless the aeroplane is high enough above the earth to move laterally it can do nothing but fall."

"There is no way of detecting these downward currents, no way of avoiding them, and therefore the aeroplane must always be subject to chance and its operator to the risk of fatal accident. Sportsmen will always take these chances, but as a business proposition the risk is too great."

"The flying machine of the future—my flying machine—will be heavier than air, but it will not be an aeroplane. It will have no wings. It will be substantial, solid, stable. You cannot have a stable airplane. The gyroscope can never be successfully applied to the airplane, for it would give a stability that would result in the machine being torn to pieces by the wind, just as the unprotected aeroplane on the ground is torn to pieces by a high wind."

"My flying machine will have neither wings nor propellers. You might see it on the ground and you would never guess that it was a flying machine. Yet it will be able to move at will through the air in any direction with perfect safety, higher speeds than have yet been reached, regardless of weather and oblivious of “holes in the air�? or downward currents. It will ascend in such currents if desired. It can remain absolutely stationary in the air, even in a wind, for great length of time. Its lifting power will not depend upon any such delicate devices as the bird has to employ, but upon positive mechanical action."

“You will get stability through gyroscopes?" I asked.

“Through gyroscopic action of my engine, assisted by some devices I am not yet prepared to talk about", he replied.

To a Westinghouse manager, Tesla wrote 'You should not be at all surprised, if some day you see me fly from New York to Colorado Springs in a contrivance which will resemble a gas stove and weigh as much. ... and could, if necessary enter and depart through a window.' (7-7-1912) ( it will be a small box, not a huge "cigar" ) pg. 198 Tesla: Man Out of Time by Margaret Cheney

Chris Jones, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 15:03:56 GMT

For 49 years I have been silent of what I heard and saw at age 8 years old, because people would think of me as being a fruitcake or just my imagination running wild. What I’m fixing to describe, I would bet my soul to be the honest truth. As realistic as looking at any object in your home across the room. That is how sure I am of what I experienced and saw. Here is my story.
As a young boy of 8, my parents, my sister and I lived in Ft. Worth, Texas on Honeysuckle Street. Had the only two-story house on our block. At that age I was required to go to bed at 8:30 every night. My room was upstairs on the left; my sister's was on the right. One night during the summer of 1958, as always, I headed up stairs to my room. As I was about to flip on my light switch at my bedroom entrance, I heard a faint humming noise coming across the room of my bedroom out side my double window. As I walked across my room towards my open double window, the humming noise became slightly louder. I looked outside my window and about 3 or 4 feet below, just 25 feet or so away, hovering over my neighbor’s house, I saw 3 small round shaped UFOs. Even at that age I was very aware of what I was looking at. I was in disbelieve, how could this be. The round flying saucers were in a close triangular formation, two in front and the other in the middle at the back and all 3 a few feet from one another. I could hear the soft humming of whatever power their ships. The three ships were roughly 4 feet in diameter each. The center had a doom in the middle measuring in diameter around a foot in width. Height of about 6 inches. The top of each ship was the color of frosted glass, with a glow from within, of a soft white light illuminating the outer skin, but not transparent, completely covering the inner circle of the top of each one. Adjacent to the inner circle of frosted light; there was a 6-inch, in width, a soft blue ring completely circling the outer inner edge of the top. I could see something moving around and around the circle of the blue ring, spinning, circling the ring. This was the humming sound I had first heard at my bedroom door, the mechanism spinning around and around, which obviously what was powering the ships. As the mechanism circled the blue ring, taking a few seconds to complete the full circle of the soft blue ring, I could see the circle of blue ring divided into rectangular bars, sort of like piano bars, side by side all around the light blue ring as the mechanism spun around and around pasting the bars, lighting up each one of the bars in a darker blue as it past. As I watch for the first 20 seconds or so, I could see a slight wavering of each ship as they stayed suspended a few feet above my neighbor’s roof, as the dark blue light swirled around the soft blue ring of light. I was just standing there, in disbelieve what was before me. I rubbed my eyes and opened again and they were still there. I then turned completely turned around with my back to them, but still hearing the soft humming sound of their engines. After a few seconds, I turned back to the window and they were still there. I knew then, without any doubt at all, I was witnessing something that few have ever seen, in such detail and close proximity, UFOs up close. I watched again in amazement for at least another 30 seconds, almost disbelieve, but knowing what I was witnessing was real. I again turned my back on them. Then the sound of the humming stopped and I turned around and they were gone. I wish I would not of kept turning my back on them, but what would you have done, seeing something that you would never believed would ever happen to you. Most sightings I see on TV are lights in the sky and no visual pictures to prove what they are. I put my self in a category of few that have seen something as close as looking across a living room and looking at a TV set or a chair. I’ve had 49 years to think of what I saw. I figure they were surveillance ships, with some kind of visual cameras scoping out our planet from the Mother Ship somewhere above. I decided to tell my story before I die, as I’m getting up in years. I feel, as large as our universe is and so many galaxies are trillions of years older then ours, there are beings with technology far greater then we could imagine. Maybe God will let us see all of his wonderful creations once we enter his kingdom.

I have a few comments to make. Number one, Would anyone care if we knew the truth? .. Can we honestly say now, at this point in time, that if we DID know the answer that other life forms from other parts of the universe are visiting us, we would NOT be scared of that?... just say AYE. I am not scared.. I'm not going to panic. I am going to rejoice in the fact that what we seem to consensusly know as the truth that we are not alone in the universe is in fact a reality. Can we as a human race just face the pride-swallowing issue that we are not the center of the universe?? .. I agree with many of you folks statements, and I'd like to add that I myself am not a person that needs information hid from me for fear of knowing I'm a primitive being. Because I am!!!, we all are if these beings have been around longer then us. The only problem is this.. if the powers that be are secretly conversing with these beings behind closed doors.. we got a problem. That means an agenda is or being made, or a comprimise has been made... and if that's the case, only those that NEED to know are going to be involved, and I fear that the truth of that will be covered up for as long as can be. Nevermind me and my opinions though.. I'm just a guy that wants to pilot one of those spacecraft if there is one.. :)

I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON SUNRISE HIGHWAY IN BELLMORE, I WAS WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL WHEN MY FRIEND IN THE CAR AHEAD OF ME POINTED OUT A FOOTBALL SHAPED GLOWING LIGHT. IT DID NOT MAKE ANY NOISE. IT HOVERED ABOVE THE KING KULLEN FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN SUDDENLY DISSAPPEARED. I AS WELL AS MY FRIENDS WERE FLABBERGHASTED. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING SINCE, BUT THAT EXPERIENCE HAS LEFT ME CONVINCED, THEY ARE OUT THERE!

Barb, Illinois — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 14:25:24 GMT

In November of 1977, late at night, in Kennewick, Washington State, near the Hanford Government Nuclear Site, a friend and myself had parked up on a hill to see the city lights below as it was a clear night, and we could see many stars also. My friend suddenly pointed over to the west towards Richland and Hanford area, and said "What are THOSE?". We saw 3 red pulsating orbs, not very big, hovering over Richland, WA. Then, they moved irradically further away, and then came back again rapidly. They left "trail's" of red light as they moved. It seemed as if they were following the Columbia River, out to the Hanford site, and then back over Richland. We watched this happen for about 10 minutes. Then we drove down the hill, and onto a main street headed west. I looked to the north, and said "WHAT is THAT?". To our amazement, we saw a giant, perfectly shaped, neon white, triange (hollow in the center), that was standing upward, with the tip pointing up. It was about as big as a few football fields, judging by the radio towers on the ground, and how many streets between points of the triangle. It seemed to be several hundred feet from the ground, just hovering there, perfectly still. After a few minutes, the top (tip) of the triangle suddenly flipped downward, pointed to the north, hovering "flat", making it look like a long bar of white light from where we were. It had what appeared to be square panels on the backside of it, all glowing white, and with defining lines of the square panels all the way across the back. Then, it disappered in a flash, and left a "trail" of sparkle type light behind it as it disappeard north, (it almost looked like white glitter left behind). That was it. Other people in the area saw the 3 red pulsating orbs at around the same time in 1977-78. One person reported the orbs "performing" triangular movements from time to time while following the Snake River, which joins the Columbia River. Someone got video of silver orbs in daylight, following the Columbia River. It was on the news, but never heard any more about it.
Another time in 1995, there was an Air Show at the Tri-Cities, WA airport (near Kennewick and Richland), and the Stealth was there for the show. At about 9pm, I was driving across the bridge over the Columbia River, when I saw a blue light "take off" from the airport, only in a low takeoff, not like a plane or a helecopter. As I drove home, the light was still in the sky, making irradic movements. When I got home, I looked up, and saw the blue light suddenly go into circular motion very fast, turning white and making large round irradic "scribbles" in the sky, then it stopped suddenly, split up into 3 parts straight out from the center, and then came back together again in the center, and disappeared into thin air. Astounding. I've seen other UFO's also, but none as vivid as these two experiences. I have yet to find any pictures of the triange that we saw that night. The truth of these matters would not scare the public, but make them aware so we can understand and know what it is we are dealing with, so as possibly NOT to be afraid! There is good and bad in everything, and it would help if we knew "who" is good and "who" is bad. Travis Walton went through a nighmare, but lately there have been reports of crop cirles with messages of there being GOOD out there, and to BELIEVE in the Good. Just things I've heard and seen. I hope we can learn more. Thanks for listening!

Justa Voice, Somewhere, US — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 16:21:31 GMT

I've been studying UFO's and the history of UFO research for quite some time. I have little patience for professional experts on either side of the debate who are more interested in selling books, or waging war on anyone who entertains the notion that there are genuine unknowns. Roswell? I've come to the tentative conclusion that it is possible that the gv't. was not really interested in: A) finding out what the Soviet reaction to Project Mogul would be, or B)a PR nightmare if a "hot" B-29 had crashed. I know SOMETHING made Truman drop what he was doing, and drive straight back to Washington at top speed with a trooper clearing the way for him, July 8, 1947.
It's in his diary, probably available at your local library. I'm a firm believer in Occam's Razor and the scientific method, not a New Ager or conspiracist, but one thing stands out as worth noting, because I don't remember seeing this brought up or emphasized before- I'm sure PSYOPS and "black" project managers have happily exploited the phenomenon, i.e. the Belgian UFO reports preceding the F-117 unveiling, etc. I'm aware of the "flying flapjack", AVROcar, Project Silverbug, and other very terrestrial flying disc projects, as well as lightcraft, MHD propulsion research, and other "exotic" research. But no one has yet to explain to me why the most practical and useful LOT or RCS-reduction designs more and more seem to resemble even very early documented descriptions or depictions of "flying-disc" UFOs. Unless early LOT/RCS research was far less reliant on computer analysis for usable results, I don't see how current publicly known LOT platforms (whether manned or unmanned) could have coincidentally evolved into shapes that increasingly resemble silhouettes or shapes descibed by trained observers over forty years ago, at a time when radar technology was 10-15 years old at best, and RCS research was in its infancy. Air-based intelligence requires a platform be airworthy as well as stealthy, and we have seen a shift away from faceting to utilization of curves, as design capability and flight control have been limited only by materials and computer technologies. The laws of physics don't care what your bias or socio-political agenda is. Neither do the results of computer analysis showing the optimum LOT planform or design feasible. These factors have determined the shape and appearance of the F-117, B-2, F-22, and YF-35, not PSYOPS or other similar factors. Minimum contract requirements for speed and maneuverability, as well as stealthiness, dictate what flies and what dies. There may well be quite a lot of reasons for massive secrecy and disinformation campaigns, but whether ET in origin or not, this evolution of stealth design seems to edge closer to a "classic" UFO depiction/description rather than away from it.
I'm not claiming partially successful reverse-engineering, secret ET-gv't. agreements, or any other of the myriad theories/speculations is the one true answer to this puzzle; it very well could be simply a coincidence and nothing more. But being someone willing to consider all rationally-based explanations for the UFO phenomenon, as well as being aware of the depth of ignorance likely for any average citizen concerning issues relating to national security, this coincidence, rather than any account or theory, stands out to me as both prominent, and relatively unaddressed by cooler heads on either side of the UFO divide.

In 2005 around 8 o'clock in east Orlando, I was driving home with my best friend Jose. We drove past our high school, Timbercreek, when we saw this strange orange-glowing UFO. It was just hovering over a farm, and then it began to move sideways, and then diagonally, and it did this for like 4 minutes, then went straight up through the clouds and disappeared. We were so startled at what we both had seen, we even stopped the car on the side of the road to see if it would appear again, but never did. We were really freaked out, and we knew that what we had seen was an alien spaceship of some kind, the airforce doesn't have technology like that.
