Unexplained Phenomenon- UFO's, Bermuda Triangle

Do you believe in UFO's or the Bermuda Triangle? Have you seen any?

Nope. Not a thing that has even been unexplained.

I guess there was a UFO caught on tape in Denver last month.

On a side note when I was stationed in a desert we were reporting hearing and seeing an invisible long wing like object traveling at high speed with lights off.

My neighbors and I debated coming forward with what we saw once, but we never did. Too weird.

Um, yeah, cloudy like.

FWIW, in 2004, I worked an air show in Galveston where the AF scheduled a B-2 flyby. It came in from the seaward side of the field at maybe 2000 ft and you couldn't hear it for nothin. He pulled up and climbed out to the west and quickly became 'invisible' to the naked eye. I was taping it and could only follow with the telephoto and that was tres tough.

Once, late at night. I later found out that it was a Corvette.

I dropped 11,000 golf balls into a guys pool once.
When the cops asked me about it. I blamed it on a UFO.
They believed me.

Does that count?

BTW - pool guy

Yes, but maybe not extraterrestrial. Perhaps from a civilization that thrived on Earth a hundred thousands ago, a million years ago, maybe even a billion years ago. One that may still exist somewhere today, hidden in the ice or under the seas.

Human life on Earth may have come and gone dozens of times, reaching who know's what level of technology. I mean how far back does human history go, 100,000 years? Actually a blink in time as we know it. Who's to say that a civilization that might have existed 100 million years ago couldn't have reached a level of technology way beyond what we have today? The Earth as we know it today has transformed many times. The poles have shifted, the continents have split and drifted, the oceans have expanded and receded how many times over the eons? We look at our current human evolution as the beginning of our species, and maybe it is or maybe it's not. What we know about our planet might only be a sentence or a paragraph out of a book with many volumes.

Far fetched maybe, but the subject and ideas would make one helleva book or movie.

With a helicopter? or a dump truck? More importantly....how did you find 11,000 golf balls?

Wasn't one of the theories for the air squadron that disappeared over the Bermuda triange possibly caused by the seepage of that hydrocarbon gas that is in the faultlines in the ocean. I vaguely remember the TV program I saw in reference to theories.

Don't you guys get a lot of lightning balls or some such down in the bayou?

And speaking of unexplained phenomenon, what's the difference between sinkers and floaters?
