UFO's and other mysteries

[Prunepicker]

Do you have any favorites? I've been enthralled with the Roswell Incident in 1947.

Here's something I just came across.

From the Daily Mail
In 1948, the US government launched several inquiries into UFO
sightings, which many believed were sparked by Cold War paranoia.

In what became known as 'Project Blue Book,' more than 12,000
encounters with UFOs were looked into by the Air Force.

Now, decades after the files were closed, the microfilms have been
made available online for free – allowing anyone to re-examine
the evidence.

I just prefer the Alien Astronaut theory. It ties in well with the Zecharia Sitchen books as well as Erik Von Danken's 'Chariots of Gods' book. With all the ancient petroglyphs found around the world with drawings of beings with what looks like helmets on their heads, how can one not take the theory for granted?

I heard Tom Cruise is an alien.

Not a believer in aliens or ghosts. I prefer the Sasquatch mystery but, sadly, don't believe they exit either.

So you think earth is the only planet that has life among the trillions of stars out there?

I believe there's ET life somewhere in the universe besides on Earth.

I think there have already been Close Encounters of The Fourth Kind: How else can The Origin of The Proto-Borg CellPhoners be explained? Rhetorical Question: The answer is given in the interrogatory. Not to mention that line from the article regarding the English Airspace Invaders' fondness for state of the art buried cable.

Here's a question that I've always had regarding ExtraTerrestrial Flying Machines: Just who is it that those flashing lights are for? (Or, alternatively, "for whom are them flashing lights intended?") That question would even apply to Captain Kirk's ride, The Enterprise. Especially if it was travelling at Warp Speed. I mean . . . If one is travelling at several times the speed of light, then what's the point of the blinking lights?

For those following behind so can they can see which way to turn.

I remember when I was a child in the 50's and this was a very real topic. I used to go outside at night and lay on the ground watching the sky hoping to see a flying saucer. All I ever saw was a few fire flies but it was fun.

I did the same thing and growing up as a Navy brat it was not hard to fuel my imagination with so many moving lights in the sky.

No there is most likely all types of life out there, I just doubt we have been visited or are being visited by aliens in spaceships. And if they have visited, then they are far too advanced to leave telltale evidence of their presence.

Instead of advanced aliens visiting, it is far more likely earth receives rudimentary building block molecules or other organic matter falling from space.

Agreed - Don't believe in alien visits or abductions. (or ghosts or Big Foot, etc.)

I don't remember this. Does anyone remember it?

I remember it like it was yesterday. Or, like, almost yesterday (you posted the reminder at 12:03 am). I think that a lot of these UFO sightings are of inter-dimensional time-travelers. From ancient civilizations that existed prior to The Mayans. Perhaps even the Sumerians. Why . . . There is a good chance that their home base might even have been Atlantis. Speaking of time-travel, tomorrow we are planning a trip to Ingrid's Kitchen: Where excellent food and live music are not a thing of the past. Perhaps we will meet in passing time . . . just don't play any tunes by Donovan, OK?

When airline pilots report seeing weird stuff I tend to believe them. While they might not be seeing extraterrestrial craft, they are seeing something.

A fair amount of those investigated by the government, were where experimental aircraft had been developed/flown for the government, probably just checking how much the witness saw. I can not remember the number but more than 20% was for just one project, either the U2 or the Blackbird (I can not remember which).

The binary code of 23 and 73 is quite interesting. I'm very interested in this.

Interesting in what way? Binary for 23 is 00010111 and that for 73 is 01001001 == and I see nothing much in common here. Are you referring to the mysterious "WOW!" signal, which seems quite likely to have been of extraterritorial origin but still could have been a natural event of some sort?

I'm thinking of extraterritorial, or more commonly extraterrestrial. At least that's what
this thread is about. Here's a link about the Arecibo message. Whether or not it's
accurate is debatable. I simply like this stuff.

I enjoy a lot this stuff mainly from the psychological perspective. It's very interesting to me how people will readily see a lack of explanation for something as proof for what they believe in. We are very uncomfortable with things not being explained or with the concept of chaos. It seems since the first days we were able to communicate our thoughts, we've been using our imaginations to explain things we don't understand.

Here's a very interesting site I recently came across. Then I looked up sightings
by Cosmonauts.

Where there is smoke,there is usually fire. No way on earth that we humans are the only life form in the universe. They could be walking among us today and who would know? But,I seriously do believe that other life forms are out there somewhere....Hell, I could be an alien for all I know.

Lots of reports of things seen in the sky over the years by very credible people. Has to be something out there somewhere. My wife swears she seen a flying saucer with a cup full of hot chocolate chasing Santa Clause about a month ago.

No doubt about it.

Even Billy Graham agrees with us.

Hell, I could be an alien for all I know?

After watching "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" I'm convinced that
I am.

Like Astronauts and Cosmonauts.

Many of the naysayers believe in things far more unlikely.
