Ooh! I'm jumping in it now! UFO's?

Tabby Ann said:
Why would UFOs want to come closer so WE can get photos of them? WE (meaning ordinary citizens) are not that important. The major continued sightings are around the centers of power and frontiers of physics which are military installations, and WE don’t know what photos military intelligence has or what contact has been made

You would think the UFO's would be so advanced they wouldn't care about our primitive military. It would be like us sending Hueys to spy on the Yanomamo people.

A guy that worked for JPL used to live across the street from me. He went through a litany of tech discoveries that were space alien originated. True. He lives in Costa Rica now.

Lieutenant Colonel Phillip Corso, Chief of the Foreign Technology Division of the Department of Defense wrote a book that said our laser technology, and integrated circuits (computer chips) and fiber optics came from reverse engineering a crashed UFO.

I feel as you do Peco.

There has been credible evidence but the government says it's all weather balloons...one of the most asinine cover up excuses ever. There was the Phoenix incident, the Battle of Los Angeles and sightings right here in N.J. all witnessed by a combined thousands. A famous N.J. sighting was documented in Flying Saucers Are Serious Business, the first book I read about UFOs back in 1987 . I personally know two people who honestly feel they'd been abducted and saw stories about others, some believable, some not so much.

O.K. I know I am going to be labeled the crazy of the forum but, what the heck, here goes.
When I was 17, just out of high school, I went to live with my dad in Las Vegas. Yup. I acquired a really cute boyfriend. He and I use to hang out on the landing of the second floor of the apartment building where I lived with dad.

One night, he and I were watching the night sky and we saw a ball of light in the distance. It went straight up and zipped across the sky at an extreme rate of speed over downtown LV. We watched this for a couple of nights and decided we would try to find the place where it would first rise up which was within our line of sight.

So, we did not wait for it to rise. We took off in his car to a place near where we thought it would be on a dirt road.
We travelled on this dirt road for maybe, 3 or 4 miles. There was nothing but desert all around. As soon as we parked the car,
a flying thing (UFO) approached us. This craft was triangular in shape,(rounded points that were lit) and hovered over us for a good minute it seemed. Then is sped off at high rate of speed. It was so quiet, there was just a slight hum. It was so close that if I had a good ladder I could have reached up to touch it.

We were not that far off from Area 51, by the way.
We got very excited and decided to head toward the airport, McCarrran. We went in and looked for someone to ask about flights. Of course, nobody knew anything about anything. They must have written us off as a couple of crazy teenagers. I swear this story is true.
Last year MUFON contacted me for the first time. :alien:

  1. the theory that life on the earth originated from microorganisms or chemical precursors of life present in outer space and able to initiate life on reaching a suitable environment.

I think I was abducted by aliens when I was on my way to school, at five years old. I had vivid dreams, after that, of a little man creature showing me dioramas in a hallway.

Interestingly, the building I saw the craft hovering over, before I was taken inside, was the same one an elementary school chum told me her mother use to take her to to see the "doctor" there. It was a residential three-flat! She told me this, forty-five years after the fact.

The abduction happened around 8 AM. The next thing I knew, it was 4 PM, and I was back home. The girl I was with, and I, never discussed that day.

Another weird thing: After that day, I kept trying to form this shape, in my head. I never could quite get it completed. In the movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," Dreyfus has a similar experience. I was in the theater watching it, later in life, and tears started running down my face, because I remembered going through that, myself.

Do you remember what the craft looked like?🙂
 
I would be surprised if we were alone in this universe, however UFOs as spacecraft from some other civilization I am skeptical.

If they do exist I suspect they are very very small, nothing like the Flash Gordon things we imagine and report seeing. Think about how our technology is shrinking things and how much more advanced they would have to be. Very small would make traveling the long distances more possible.

And if they were here why not contact us? Wouldn't we attempt contact if we could travel to other inhabited worlds? Had we found people on the moon or mars they would surely have known about us from the beginning.

A fun topic to think about and speculate on, who knows one or more of our forum members may be an alien in disguise!
 
The one that sort of changed my thinking about do they / do they not exsist was.

The Hudson Valley sighting in New York on New years Eve 1982.

I read / heard somewhere that police / fire stations & news rooms received over 5000 calls from folks that claim to have seen it !! ...... Just hard to believe that many folks could be mistaken as to what they saw & or take part in any sort of hoax.

Absolute proof ? No ........ But sure deserves some thought.

Astronauts have reported seeing maneuvers such as you describe. Do you watch UFO documentaries?

Humans are easily fooled. Magicians and politicians count on that.

I just read the autobiography of a well know amateur astronomer. In it he tells of a night he was out and saw a straight line of white lights in the distance. They were approaching and silent. It wasn't until they flew over his head honking that he saw that it was a flight of geese. They had been illuminated by lights from the city. He wrote that if they hadn't passed so close, he wouldn't have known what they were.

Have you ever wondered why UFO's are so often covered with lights? Why would they want to be seen? And, if they want to be seen, why don't they come closer so we can get a really good sharp photo of them?

They have come closer! Also, why would they be afraid to have their lights on. Civilizations that advanced are certainly not afraid of us.
 
Yes, I believe there is other life out there and very possible they could visit this planet.

I watch those paranormal caught on camera shows and the Osborne show. Pilots have reported things they can't explain. And in the past probably didn't report out of fear.

According to the docs I've seen, some reported what they'd seen to their superiors and were told to keep quiet. They even had to sign non-disclosure documents. People just don't seem to get it....so much is being kept from the American public. Even other countries are asking the U.S. for full disclosure to be made public.

One thing I can't understand about all of this is if it's all real what's the reason it's kept top-secret?
 
Summer of '66, English Bay, Vancouver B.C.

My boyfriend and I were sitting on a log looking at the stars .. lots of others on the beach that night. We saw what we thought was an airplane .. but then, it hovered in place for what seemed like around 10-15 mins. Others had noticed it as well. Suddenly, it took off, straight up, and it took seconds for it to disappear.

We went back to bf's place to phone some place (can't remember) to see if there was a weather balloon out over the bay .. but, were told there wasn't.

In any case, I don't think a weather balloon would do what "that thing" did.

Allegedly so people won't panic Janice. Another thing is a matter of national security. They can't protect against what they don't know, especially assuming "they" would have to be more advanced than we are. If you have Amazon Prime there are lots of UFO documentaries on there, some probably more credible than others (I haven't watched them all). I saw part of the National Press Conference on UFOs but I think it was since this paper was published, but I'm not sure. Very distinguished and credible witnesses came forward with stories of their UFO sightings. Among them were military personnel, police officers, pilots and government officials (from here and other countries). During the conference I saw, it was requested that the U.S. disclose their secret UFO documents to the public.

@ Pinky -- I don't doubt your story, Pinky. But, I do doubt whether it was due to aliens. There are still natural phenomena that we don't understand. There are red and blue sprites that have been recorded but not explained. And, there is ball lightning which has been reported often but never recorded or duplicated.

I ask myself, why would aliens do this? Did they traveled all the way here just to put on a show for us?

Honestly, I am not interested in UFO's much anymore. I have other fish to fry such as the videos I am making on YouTube.
A shameless plug: "The Fortuna Report". I am working on the 9th video. The voice is not mine, it is AI provided for by a creation site called MURF. Her name is Lily.
Thank you for including me in your post. 💗 :alien:
 
If an advanced civilization wanted to get rid of us, they could easily do so and would have by now. One way would be to tweak something like the ebola virus so that it had a long incubation period and then spread it to several locations. By the time we discovered it, it would be too late. They could also nudge one of the rocks of suitable size that lie in the asteroid belt so that it would smack us. Any of us who were left could easily be eliminated. These are things even our technology could do.

The average American doesn’t know what goes on at our top secret military installations and whether contact has already been made. Many average Americans persist in thinking UFOs must engage in a popularity contest with average Americans in order to be successful, when in fact the bulk of information published on UFOs indicates the main focus both ways is military, government and scientific - not what the average American thinks.
