UFO's... What do you think?

[Hay Dude]

I have seen ufo before from very close distance. So I was making fun of ufos with friends about 02:00 a.m. and when I look out the window there was a huge ufo in front my room, about 02:30 a.m.

Did the UFO land in your yard, take you inside the ship and do experiments on you?

In a fairly dense STL suburb, some guy calls the police and says there is a bear in his front yard.

The police say “are you sure? Have you been drinking”?

Guy says no and it just climbed the front yard Oak tree.

Police show up and sure enough - a bear is in the tree.

Hours later they shoot the bear with a dart and it falls out of the tree.

First bear in that suburb since 1955.

Never say never.

An ostrich!

People abducted by martians?

Martians on drugs!

I don't doubt that the lady "thought" she saw an ostrich. It was an ostrich to her, but that don't mean it actually was an ostrich.

As an aside, lets say 10 people are looking at a guy walking down the street. A car pulls up a man gets out and shoots the guy walking down the street and exits. Ask the 10 witness's what color was the car? Ask them what color was the shooter for that matter. You will get a lot of different answers. If you ask if the shooter was a woman, some will say yes. If you ask them if the car was red, many will say it was.

She lives on alcohol and pain killers. I'm sure it was an ostrich to her.

I'm also just guessing that people that experience alien abductions are either similar in nature or mentally ill to begin with.

UFOs? Sure. Heck, I've seen things flying that I can't identify. Hence UFO.

But alien abductions?

Ostriches.

UFO = Unidentified flying objects .. not identified flying aliens.

Maybe an Emu? Looks like but smaller. Easy to get confused.

As I said, I leave open the possibility. I highly doubt it given her nature.

I have seen one. It was about the year 1983; early morning, I went outside to get the paper, and it was just East of our place, and over the neighbor's house. It was perfectly round, somewhat bright, and it looked something like a full moon; about the same color...It was several times larger than the moon, and standing perfectly still. It was not a weather balloon, although that's what the news later reported. It stayed in that one place for a few minutes while I observed it, and then I went back in the house.

On my way to work, I noticed it had moved South about a quarter of a mile, and had risen a bit. It was not moving.

I talked to Hayden Hewes, who at the time was a UFO expert, and he said it was fairly common to see that particular type of object, and they weren't weather balloons. Weather balloons were not that large, they aren't perfectly round, and almost never stand still.

I was looking more for laughs with my “drugs” comment, but come on folks......People abducted by martians?

Did you read the article I linked to? Didn't think so.
If you had, you would have known that it was an explanation of what likely really happened the night the Hills claimed to have been abducted.

Well, two of us had the one experience I have ever had that really made me wonder. We were just packing up to head home from the rental cottage at about 11:30 at night, and I spotted a fairly bright satellite moving across the sky, followed by another and another and another... The line went all the way from one side of the sky to the other, and they were approximately evenly spaced and all moving at the same speed. So what was the first thing we thought of? Independence Day of course, where it all started with a series of satellites surrounding the earth.

Very exciting, and we lived in the world of fantasy for about a minute or so, but my friend then pulled out his Cel phone and made an inquiry on Google. It was of course the 60 satellites that Elon Musk had launched, but we did not know about it until just that moment.

So in the end it was a very Mundane explanation, but it was really cool at the moment. And if we didn’t have our cell phones with us, the thrill would’ve lasted a lot longer.

Star Link! It's a thing. ;-)

When I was in high school, I came home to the back garage door and as I was opening the door to go in, I heard the sound of jets overhead. Now we lived only a short distance from the airfield, with a very active Air Guard. Sonic booms were frequent then and there.
I stepped back out from the door way, Didn't see any planes, but I did set a "shiny object" just to the east and about 50 degrees above the horizon. The object was traveling roughly north to south at what I would call a "normal velocity" for an aircraft or such like.
The object traversed about 25 degrees of my vision at somewhat a horizontal path and constant speed, and then....
It vectored nearly straight up, call uit 10 degrees tilt to the south and east. At a VERY HIGH rate of speed, the object just disappeared into the clear blue sky overhead.

No "aircraft" of that time could have followed the trajectory. and the velocity was outstanding.

Neadless to say, witnessing that, left a mark.

This has probably been put up already. I seldom check this thread.

Well, seems someone isn't afraid to speak up...

Former Israeli space chief says aliens exist, and Trump knows about it

A "galactic federation" has been waiting for humans to "reach a stage where we will understand... what space and spaceships are," Haim Eshed said.

So we're the one planet that's not a part of the Galactic Federation? Maybe they're waiting for us to find Bigfoot AKA the Allspark.

There was a good article on Salon about this: Why do smart people lie about alien encounters?.

As we all know, achieving the highest levels within any bureaucracy public or private does not mean you're smart, nor does it mean you're sane. All it means is you're a good at the politics of human interactions.

 

[the old grind]

Thousands lie about politics, pandemics, and the future of Branson tractors but it only takes one guy to prove that aliens are real and all around us. Yes, we all trust politicians, scientists, and some guy on YouTube. If we can't prove that unidentified doesn't mean alien then they obviously are upon (or among) us.

btw, I like the guy saying that UFOs can pull 700Gs in flight. Imagine a 200lb man briefly weighing 140,000 lbs. Humans tend to black out at around 7-8Gs IIRC. To me that says alien craft must be crewed by robots or by computers vs by living beings. (splat!) Not sure what they'd wand with a flat planet, but ya just never know. btw,what you don't know won't save you.

To me that says alien craft play by a different set of physics laws than us. If they are using interdimensional travel "Gs" mean nothing.

 

[the old grind]

Sorry, I forgot we can already measure the details and dynamics of interdimensional travel, just like we understand the physics of wormholes & the apparently benign G forces, etc of both.

Maybe aliens are just waiting for us to discover an entirely different table of elements to know we're ready to accept them. IMO it's only a matter of time before someone hacks their injected microchip and learns what bill gates and google know about this stuff.

btw, Harry Potter uses a 'different set of physical laws than us'.
