Now your talking!

This may finely explain. to every one why i am ..
Yes I have seen a UFO.. and to this day have not found any reasonable explanation.. It was 40 years ago .. i was 12. or so .. it was a summer evening about 10:00 or so ..still light out..there were some funny dark sliver shaped clouds in the sky.. and i admit i was looking for fling saucers .. ever since i saw a program on UFO .. a few weeks before..
I was looking out my bedroom window .. out towards a hill about a mile away.. looking at the sky over it and seeing clouds .. and wondering if they were any UFOs up there . i looked for a little bit and then i saw some thing strange.
There was a large fir three about 800ft from my bed room window .. and maybe 200 ft tall ( it is still there). as i was looking out at the sky I saw this dark cigar shape which i thought at first was a cloud .. and it was slowly rising. beside the tree .. now it was not beside the tree ,it was over above the hill side .. but i was gaging it motion by the tree height..
At first i did not believe it .. why was this cloud rising. none of the other cloud were moving . it moved slowly at first .. then a little faster .. soon it was past the top of the tree.. i kept watching .. it went up about double the height of the tree .. it tilled a little more nose up and a vapour trail started come from the down side .as it as it started moving fast . to words a cloud layer.. . I don't know what i was thinking .. but ran out to my Mom and dad . shouting "there's a UFO .. come look ".. I am sure they though i was nuts .. But got them to come to the front door . and we went out and looked .
All they saw was the vapour trail going in to the clouds the thing that made it had disappeared into the clouds.. . I then told them what I had seen .. I don't know if they really believed me . because all they saw was the vapour trail .
. But my family is open minded .. and we all believed there may be something out there .. I have tried to find other explanations for it .. or even other descriptions of UFO .. that are similar .. but have not found any quit like what i saw.
Funny thing is right now i am living on that hill where I saw the UFO.
I know I have wrote some pretty crappy prose .. But i always get exited when i tell this story ..
I will get my autobiography to fix it up when he writes my life story.. It will be a short read.

 

[maxx50]

What is up?

I fine this odd.. that know one has seen anything out of the ordinary .that they could not explain.. maybe we should expand this to ghosts.. ESP
premonitions.
I know i suffer from a bad case of dejavu.. where i am always seeing thing .. or experiencing situations that i have seen and experienced before.. That old feeling ..".I have been here before ".. Usually. it is something i dreamed about years before .. and at the time . i am thinking .WTF... fore me when it does happen .. it is more if a conformation that I am right where I am suppose to be. Even though I am not sure that i like ,that the road i must travel is already laid out for me
I thought we had a choose. and that life was random.. death may be random .. but the rest seems to be .....preordained.. and that we are all part of a grander purpose

maxx50, you did not see our patrol ship deposit the planetary subjectation team 40 years ago. The changes that have happened and the steady march of your society to suicidible extinction haven't been orchastrated by us. If you continue to talk about us, I will have no choice but to mindwipe you as we have done with all your politicians. If your mind doesn't become mush, well, I'll just have to use my disrupter ray and turn you into your component molecules.

[maxx50]

No worries

I don't think you need to be concerned with any thing i my say about seeing UFO's .. know one is really interested... Even if you landed at the UN ..and it was on CNN.. the majority of people would see it and think it was a movie... So don't make to big a deal about it .. and I will quietly go a way.. and when I am dead it will be forgotten. and if you are really lucky know one will under stand what I have wrote , because of bad spelling and gremlins , Oh I meant to say grammar( he laughs nervously)

Don't know about that, mind you as I was watching on 9/11 I found myself looking around for Bruce Willis to pop out somewhere.
IF there was any substance to this, I'm sure the various governments would feel compelled to keep it from the public/lemmings. Imagine the chaos that would result from the world seeing that there is really something else out there?

I have seen plenty of odd things in the sky

I think that we would have to be pretty self centered to believe that this is the only planet.. with a species that is as smart as us...

 

[The Lizard King]

with a species that is as smart as us

For THEIR sake, I would hope they're a little smarter than that!

 

[Chrisinda]

Hmmm...

I'm thinking that there are some smarter than us, and, scary as it is, some more dumberest(a planet of George Bushes?)... now I really am afraid of UFOs!

I believe that it's a damn good possibility. I know people who swear they have seen UFOs, and I believe they mean it... not much evidence of crazy...

I believe in a lot of things no one likes to talk about in polite company

I actually do my best to send positive and healing energies to my clients, especially to the one I don't care for (who does not have a computer). Should I admit I don't care for a client? heh heh... oops

Our world/universe/existence is more beautiful and mysterious than we give it credit for.

So, those of you who will no longer be seeing the crazy girl who believes in such things, I will accept your pms now...

 

[tianna]

lol

For THEIR sake, I would hope they're a little smarter than that!

after I wrote that I was thinking the same thing too

 

[aznboi9]

There was no UFO. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

 

[tianna]

!!!!

I believe in aliens

 

[sdw]

There could be something out there

Once man started to fly aircraft there began to be numerous reports of objects that shadowed various aircraft and demonstrated performance that was technically impossible with the technology of the time or even the technology we have now. During wartime these sightings become expecially numerous.

The interesting thing about the object(s) that shadowed the moon missions is that it is impossible to shadow an spacecraft that is on a orbitable flightpath unless the object is preceding or following the spacecraft. (in the same orbit) Yet, all of the reports indicate that the shadowing was being done by a craft that is capable of riding to one side and in one case the object adjusted it's position and circled the spacecraft. We still can't do anything like that. There would be a degree of power and gravity control that is far beyond the physics that we know about.

That raises some interesting questions.

1. If you have been observing us for close to 100 years, why have you not contacted us?

2. Has each contact been by one civilization or have the various types of objects that we have reliable reports of represented more than one civilization?

Many very smart people have thought about these things and the possibility of interstellar civilizations.

There is one group that believes that many star systems can support life, but most don't get beyond their nuclear stage if they don't manage to form a world government. This view assumes that whoever is watching us will not contact us until we have attained both world government and interstellar capability.

There is another group that believes that each galaxy is controlled by a single interstellar civilization that rises to interstellar capability and then colonizes or conquers all of the other star systems capable of supporting life. The problem with this idea is that it doesn't explain why we would be observed and not invaded while we don't have the technology to defend ourselves.

There is another group that believes that very many star systems hold life and viable civilizations, but since the physics we know preclude interstellar capability none of them get out of their own star system. The problem with this idea is it doesn't explain the objects that seem to be observing us.

ps I'm an evil person and couldn't resist twitting maxx50.

 

[HeMadeMeDoIt]

Does having alien encounters when I was high out of my mind on Columbia's finest many years ago count

 

[maxx50]

They have contacted us.

Why do we all ways assume hey have not contacted us ..
they have so many time .. put . it just get dismissed of explained away..
earth is a little bit big then your back yard .. or the neighbourhood.. and even a country as big a s Canada.. we don't here about everything .. and when we do ..it has been sanitised
Just look at the egyptian civilisation and the Greeks .. or the Incas .. Mayans All of them some one gave then information and technology . that was beyond there capability..
Even our western civilisation .. as made some leaps that were greatly exaggerated .. that are not normal for our mental evolution.
They are here.. and they look like use .. Or those little skinny guys .. which ever.

 

[Bakermn]

Just to stir the pot:

How do we know that the "leaps in technology" were beyond our capability? Who judges that?
How can we possibly attempt to know how an alien race, (if one exists), would evolve, both in thought and technonlgy, when the only reference we have is our own. (You only need to look at old Grecian archeological digs to see how the version of greek ancient life has changed since the Victorian era archeologists dug them up and what we now "know"

Is interstellar space peppered with intelligent life? Why is it so remarkeable to think that the 4.5 billion years it has taken our planet, that lies in a very narrow band of "life" (ie the planet has a temperature that allows an abundance of water) to develop intelligent life and an interdependent bioshere just might be unique? or at least the first.
The confluence of temperature, planet size, breatheable atmosphere and the catastrophic events that helped create the Earth we call home could just be a fantastically unique set of circumstances.
And if it is, shouldnt we be taking better care of the only liveable planet we, at least, will ever enjoy?

Cheers

 

[maxx50]

You just answered my question ..!

Now I know why few people have see aliens .. or signs of them because they don't want to see them.. it would disturb there whole presumption of reality
Take off the rose coloured glasses .... An you may see there is something more out there then planet earth.. Now this is just a friendly responds to your stirring
AS for sex with aliens .. that is another topic all together.

Just a little comment on the Greeks .. they had good sex .. but besides that point .. when I think Greek I thing math ..science .. and philosophy.. which were a total leap in thinking from the norm of the day .. and it was only a few that grasped it .. it toke meny more centuries before many more people under stood

That was all in Chariots of the Gods. I can't remember the author's name. He pointed out that the Egyptians and Mayans had contact with someone that they illustrated in what could be a spacecraft. It's been a while since I read the book, but he has pictures and such to support his arguement.

It is possible that the outsiders gave up on us. Look at what happened to these prior civilizations. Despite being powerful for thousands of years they all eventually became too arrogant and were brought down. It may be that we humans are incapable of building upon any knowledge we gain. We build a civilization, arrogantly demand what we are "entitled to" and pull down our civilization. The better/more efficient we are at creating wealth surplus to basic needs, the faster we pull our civilization down.

There's a lot out there if you look for it and not necessarily all from quirky sources. The authorities can only do so much to suppress information, discredit sources and make people feel stupid and self conscious about their opinions or experiences.
