Pretty close to Area 51, are you?

DieselAddict · #32 03-21-2006, 01:23 PM

No, about as close as you are.

I read the true story in the National Enquirer.

Hahaha...

It does raise a lot of questions when you consider that a LARGE majority of the people who come forward with "alien abduction" stories are uneducated, three-toothed trailer park dwellers...

If these extraterrestrial "visitors" are so intelligent, why do they always seem to appear before and/or abduct the absolute WORST examples of our kind?....

....Unless they purposefully choose these morons because they WANT their sighting and/or abduction stories to be easily discredited, therefore helping to mask their presence and activities!...

Things that make you go "hmm......"

Invasion to have slaves? They have flat chested women there? Who knows. Maybe it is like us having fish in a fishbowl.

Possible. However, if all you say is true, they would have hidden themselves much better than we have the means to detect, right?

Maybe coming here is like a visit to Jurassic Park. They point and stare at the ancient Benzes moving around the surface.

Still, if we have technology that can see stars far away, you can bet they have technology that allows them to see us that is way out of our range to detect. I would.

Millions of people have seen UFO's in cities. I know of one incident in New York in the '70's where millions of people saw something hovering over the Hudson that remains unexplained.

During WWII, a similar thing happened in Los Angeles. Because a Japanese invasion was expected and anti-aircraft guns were at the ready, the military lit up the sky for some time. Exactly what they saw is a mystery.

These incidents may or may not have involved aliens from outer space, but they were definitely unidentified flying objects.

I think human nature is such that when we cannot explain something, it is rarely spoken of.

..or maybe 'poor white trash' just tastes better?

GermanStar · #40 03-21-2006, 04:07 PM

The most famous recent event is probably the one in Phoenix from a few years back. Definitely seen, definitely unidentified, but that doesn't have to translate into extraterrestrial...

Let's all watch Contact tonight!

The recollections of one Michael Chambers, with appropriate flashbacks and soliloquy. Or more simply stated, the evolution of man, the cycle of going from dust to dessert, the metamorphosis from being the ruler of a planet to an ingredient in someone's soup. It's tonight's bill of fare on The Twilight Zone.

What a excellent writer Serling was!!

Either that or the explanation is that "God made it so". It makes me wonder if aliens did publicly show up on our planet or even invaded us, would the muslims and jews for example put aside their differences and stop fighting each other over the speck of dust in the universe they call the Holy Land?

Lee Scheeler · #43 03-22-2006, 09:55 AM

As far as people putting their differences aside for some reason that would be a good thing. The world as a whole could use a bit more logic and a bit less emotion on some of the more macroscopic issues. Any influence that can get that to happen could be considered advanced/ET, as apparently we have not yet figured out how to do that effectively. j/k

More on topic...UFO in the literal definition its a safe bet that almost everyone has seen something in the sky that they didn't know what it was at the time. All that means is um, well...they didn't know what it was at the time.

It is ostrich headed arrogance to think we are the only life in the galaxy. Given age of this planet vs age of other planets in galaxy and odds are there is something older out there somewhere. Since there is no current proof (civilian anyway) we can take for OR against...jury is still out on that one. Probably will not get the definitive answer in our lifetime. When we do, what a rush!

Elvis, bigfoot, and friends nonwistanding of course....

U.S. Pilot Ordered to Shoot Down UFO Over England
Monday, October 20, 2008
The Sun

A former Top Gun said Sunday he was ordered to shoot down a massive UFO over Norwich, England, 50 years ago.

RAF controllers told U.S. pilot Milton Torres to “lock on” and launch all 24 of his rockets over the city.

But as he came within seconds of firing at the alien intruder — “the size of an aircraft carrier” on his radar — it vanished at 10,000 mph.

The amazing close encounter is revealed in secret Ministry of Defense X-Files which are being declassified Monday.

Milton said, “It was some kind of alien snooping over England. I guess we’ll never know what it was.”

The incident happened in 1957 when Milton was a 26-year-old U.S. Air Force lieutenant based at RAF Manston in Kent, England.

At 11 p.m. one night he was ordered to scramble in his F-86D Sabre fighter to attack a “bogey” hovering above Norfolk.

Speaking about it publicly for the first time, he said: “I was told I would be firing a complete salvo, all 24 rockets. I was pumped up — this was the sort of thing that happened before a war.”

He got the UFO on his radar and closed for the attack at the Sabre’s top speed of almost 700 mph — then it disappeared off his screen in a flash.

Milton, now 77, said: “I was smoking, as fast as I could go. This thing had a different propulsion system. It was not an airplane.”

The flyer said he was visited afterwards by a sinister security official and warned not to tell anyone — so he kept silent until now.

The close encounter is in 19 files made available online yesterday by the National Archives.

We ALL know who did it!

But on a more pleasant note, if you read Guests of the Ayatollah by Mark Bowden reading about the Marine guards saying to each other, loud enough for the hostage guards to hear, "MAN! I just took a wicked Khomeini!" and then NOT flushing or pouring the bucket out.
