Woo hoo... UFOs!

[Hitcher]

OK, who out there are "true believers"? Who has "seen the lights"? Who has been on the end of an alien anal probe?

Don't hold back!

Are you bored Hitcher?? :msn-wink:

Only thing out there with lights is the HP !! :shake: But I have heard that they have some flash radar gear that fell off an intergalactic visitor driving a maxima !! :lol: :killingme

[Zed]

Sure, I believe in UFO's. The tens of thousands of worldwide eye-witness accounts alone testify that there are [U]nidentified [F]lying [O]bjects in and around our world. Can't say I've ever seen one myself though...:shit:

So what brought this subject up Mr Hitcher? :confused:

[Hooks]

hah !!! The troll has left the building !! ........ :shake:

[bugjuice]

we can't be the only living thing in squillions of planets.
If you go in a straight line up into space for the rest of your life, where would you stop? Would you see/meet anything?
I think those who squarely think that we are it, are kinda narrow minded on the matter, jmho

[Waylander]

Yep I've seen the lights. I've also been out to The Mailbox in New Mexico. For those that don't know, The Mailbox is an actuall mailbox in the middle of the desert that is the closest you can get to Area 51.

There has to be some other life forms out there, what ever they may be.....we are just a tiny speck in our own universe and as the Hubble station has discovered universes as far as the telescope can see....we are not alone I suspect.

Many years ago I saw something in the night sky which I cannot explain. A mate confirmed this as he saw the same thing but from his place :gob:

The joys of alcohol and drugs during a mis-spent youth perhapse...who knows

[scumdog]

UFOs? Yes. Little green men etc? I doubt it.

I'll let you know when I find REAL evidence we have been visited by anal probing sliens. (a skid mark on me jocks?) :lol: :lol: :killingme

Who has been on the end of an alien anal probe?
Well when I was abducted by aliens they were about to do the anal probe thing - luckily I had eaten a curry beforehand so I had a really good fart brewing - the stench was too much for them. I was quickly teleported back to Earth and they vowed and declared they would never return to this part of the Solar System. Bastards could have dropped me back where they picked me up from tho.

[GSVR]

I used to believe in UFOs but after a few years of therapy I now realize that theres no such thing and I was just mental after taking too much unprescribed medication. :lol:

[Motu]

I've never analy probed a human,although we practice with sheep in training...afterwards we sell the leftovers as motorcycle seat covers.I don't know where the bad rep comes from...like,the whole point is to be unobtrusive,infiltrate and observe...laughing out loud is frowned apon.I've enjoyed my stay here,once I get my ship repaired (at Pick A Part disguised as a Nissan Homy van) and get back home I'll tell all my mates to come here for a visit.

[TonyB]

Years ago I was out in a paddock on an overcast night when these weird lights started shining on the clouds and moving very rapidly around. My first thought was that is was just someone shining two or three spotlights on the clouds, but the lighted area didn't appear to get any bigger or smaller (as you would expect) as they scooted around. It looked like the lights were coming from above the clouds. I watched them for a while and just couldn't figure it out, and I will admit it was starting to get a little spooky, so when I got back home I got my dad to come out and have a look. Initially he was stumped as well, but after a while we realised what it was- loaders working at night loading logs for transport. They were working on the top of a hill a couple of k's away and they would have been well above the clouds.
I think most UFO sighting can be explained- people WANT to see UFO's, so when they see something they can't quite figure out, the imagination fills in the details. For example, when I was a kid, my mum, brother and I thought we had spotted a wild deer standing on a terrace some distance away. We a pair of binoculars, so we all had a look, and we were convinced it was a large red deer. I was looking through the binoculars, looking at was was definitely a deer, when my brother pointed out that was much shorter than the fence it was now standing beside, so it had to be a goat. I kid you not, I took another look and suddenly the deer was a goat. I wanted it to be a deer, so thats what I saw. Once it stood next to the fence I guess logic took over.

There has to be other life out there somewhere. A couple of years back they pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at an area of space thought to be pretty much empty. They took a good long exposure and saw hundreds of galaxies, one after the other, disappearing into the distance... each galaxy has millions of stars, so there will be hundreds of thousands of planets. At least ONE of them must have intelligent life on it. The question is, is it possible to travel the vast distances involved? The closest star to us is something like 4.5 light years away. Thats about 42,233,011,200,000 km away

hmmmm very good points you all make...... Hows about the theory that the universe and everything is meerly a hologram of what we "want" to see, -what our minds create for ourselves as reality, and as there are so many people seeing what they are told, and made to see and or believe most see the same things.... sure there are trillions of other galaxies lightyears away.... thats what the scientists wanted to see in their expensive telescopes though isnt it........ :confused:

[Paul in NZ]

I totally agree with TonyB

There is something about the human condition that needs to have company (or competition) and the most mundane phenomenon (ok I can't spell) are assigned outrageous properties... After all, I'll bet a few significant religions started out this way... (the desire for company and the other thing I can't spell)

The thought that we are really all alone in the universe is just too much to stand for most people (usually the ones stuffing the planet) so we invent things...

However, that in itself does NOT mean alien life does not exist. If it does exist and presumably possesses the ability to navigate / cross the universe then detecting other life forms and hiding from them would be pretty easy. Who knows, the ones we do see are probably just members of the Intergalactic Antique Flying Saucer Clup on their annual Polbobnick F5 to Giblinork T3 rally... Or maybe boy racer frat boys (with defective cloaking devices) on their scavenger hunt (blue green planet 3rd from the sun, pick up one anus).

If they are real (and I personally know 2 people of modest and sober temperament that can recount a strange experience) then they really don't want to talk to us. So I tend not to worry about it..

Isn't it interesting that unexplained events and phenomena(?) are no longer attributed to the actions of Gods- now it's aliens! Take the pyramids- some otherwise intelligent people are convinced that they are the work of aliens, as they can't see how humans could have built such massive structures so accurately from stone over 2000 years ago. Is it so hard to believe that we might have been more resourceful and intelligent then than we are now? Plus it's amazing what you can do with a massive expendable workforce...

They don't officially do anal probes, though I'm sure some would like it :buggerd: , they do wallet probes instead. They've got really good at it too.

How would you explain the statues on Easter Island? Yes we know they were built by man but what were the faces based on?
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~yf5f-wtnb/moai_idx/tongariki/moai6_04.jpg
I can see how you'r explainantion of people seeing what they want to believe. The pictures below could either be light and shadow playing funny games but why does the face look so much like the Island statues?
http://users.cihost.com/ata/mars/oldface.gif Apparently this no longer exhists. Hmm I'll have to dig up an explaination of that.

Here is the pyrimid and a "city" that is in the same area. Someone took measurements off of it in relation to the face and the "city". Anyway how would you eplain the perfectly straight edges of it?

Read a book once that tied the whole Atlantian civalization into all of this that I thought was pretty cool. It's the Area 51 series by Robert Doherty. There may well be a perfectly logical explaintation for all this but the fictional ones are so much more fun. And I would rather have fun than have everythin based on logic and reason.

Crop circles are no less inexplicable than the current trend in odd 'tribal' tattoo's are among the trendy and non tribal... In fact they may be the inspiration...

Yes. Since we all like to think we are exceptional (despite evidence to the contrary) anything cleverer than we can manage MUST be the work of either a God (chose one of your choice), a Devil, or an Alien...

What people forget is determination. We are all so damn selfish these days we have forgotten what can be done by a large group with a common goal and a clever organiser..

Yes there are pefectly logical explanations for all these things but you are still having fun so there is no need to ruin it...

However.... Next time you watch one of your beloved asian cartoons ask yourself what odd race of aliens their faces were based on?

What did Picaso base his faces on? It's an artistic representation of the human form. Same as the way cave paintings show very detailed animals and weird looking humans.

But, then there's this, which does make you think... (http://www.siriuslink.com/brightest.php#dogon)

Hmm, should have thought of the artistic side of it, And that link was very interesting TonyB.

If it flies, with or without lights, and you don't know what it is - it's a UFO surely?

Anyway - brother in laws wedding the Cotswolds UK circa 1995. Fine summers evening, a table full of beer and wine laden guests, myself and Ms Biff included. A very bright cylindrical shaped object flew at great speed from the horizon at an angle up towards the heavens. Pretty much everyone at the table saw it.......??????

Do other life forms exists in this universe? Well mathematically the chances of life-forms existing on another planet are very strong. In fact if you do the maths, there's more chance of there being some sort of life than not, even if they are only amoebas. With a universe the size of ours, and with many planets and galaxy's far older than ours, logic dictates that there's something out there. Although the chances of it being within travelling distance is unlikely. Even if they were riding R1's or Gixxers!

[Zed]

If it flies, with or without lights, and you don't know what it is - it's a UFO surely?Exactly right - that's a good definition of a "UFO", but people get so caught up in the aliens routine...conditioned by Hollywood!

Not saying there were little green persons (just being PC) on board - but the object flew and I haven't the froggiest what it was. That's a UFO by my definition.

At the galactic equivalent of "max boost" probably not too long.

[Skyryder]

Well on a serious note I can recall as a youngster (6 or 7 years old?) one summers night pitch dark and I saw these specks of light hight up in the sky zig zagging, turning in eliptical configurations, darting in straight lines then abrubtly changing directions. I was so young that UFO did not even come into the equation, hell I'd never heard of a UFO flying saucer or whatever. I just looked up at at these moving specks of light until I got bored and a stiff neck. It wasn't until years later when I started to read of other peoples descriptions of UFO's that it dawned on me that 'perhaps' that was what I had seen. I don't even recall telling anyone about them, not for fear of ridicule but becasue I was so young I thought this was normal. Now I don't know what I saw but it sure as hell was not digger lights.

Now we may be the only inhabited planet...........ever........ and if we are just imagine where mankind can go in an empty galaxy, universe or whatever. But life has an amazing ability to develop in many many different 'eco systems' and given the 'adaptibility of life' I find that the concept of alien life plausable and equally plausible is the concepts of intelligent alian life.

It just seems paradoxical that planet Earth teems with life and the universe and galaxies are entirely devoid of it.

But yes, very well put.. i agree completely...

Imaging the scene.....

10 years old and staying at a friends house over in Golden Bay watching Battlestar Galactica (with a male Starbuck) and it finishes and you head off to bed.

As you go to leave, the curtains blow open and out there in the darkness is a whole pile of twinkling lights blazing away in the distance.

Sure scared the crap out of us I can tell you.

Fuggin irresponsible people who let the Stenna Constructor (oil rig supply ship) anchor in the bay.

Mum saw a UFO once and gets scoffed at when she mentions it.
"But it was flying and I don't know what the hell it was."
