Bright light was UFO says East Texan

...they always do fail. You know with all the technology today you would think the groupies who follow the latest appearances would have at least invested in some serious technology themselves.

Most of the folks you call "groupies" rarely, if ever, see a UFO themselves. The odds of seeing one are pretty astronomical. True UFO devotees consider themselves to be almost blessed to witness one personally.

However, there's lots of good video out there of these things. Of course, you have to wade through a whole lot of poorly shot video to find the good stuff, but it exists.

Another thing to consider is that most folks who report these things also say that they never believed in them until they saw one with their own eyes. There's nothing like personal experience to make a believer out of someone.

My personal opinion is that after all these years you would think if aliens wanted to make themselves know, if they indeed were real, it would of been so by now.

Personally I don’t buy the alien thing....if you look at the sun itself knowing that just the size would hold a million and more of the planet earth....the universe goes on without measure. Now in that universe are we on a sliver of landmass which is a dot if that.

Then consider all the outerspace frontier we have been too and still there is nothing.....coupled with all the other aspects the possibility becomes almost zero these or others are even feasible.

Science and math and astonomy have pretty much zapped every known “sighting”.....generally only the “believers” have difficulty grasping the facts or explanations...again because it would put a blow into their belief system.

The truth is we really don’t know...but logic says it’s very unlikely if that or we would have simply known by now.

You make a lot of assumptions in your post.

An advanced race of humanoids is under no pressure to reveal themselves to you, or to any other human - for any reason - unless they want to.

If they have the ability to cross the endless parsecs to get here, then their technology is probably also so advanced that you probably wouldn’t see it, even if it were right in front of your nose.

The oceans of the earth were once considered to be so vast, that no man could ever cross them, but they did. Philosophers and ordinary men throughout human history dreamed of the day that man would fly, but resigned themselves to the idea that he never would. A lot of people lost good money betting that mankind would never set foot upon another world, but we did.

Just because the universe is unimaginably vast, and you and I can’t picture having the technology to rapidly cross its depths doesn’t mean that it can’t, or hasn’t been done by others.

You and I have no way of knowing what an alien race’s motivations for being here might be (if indeed they are here). To say for fact that they don’t exist is as ludicrous as saying that they definitely do exist. Point is, we just do not know.

Logic and reason compels us to conclude that other life exists in the universe. It also compels us to conclude that if that’s so, then some races would have conquered interstellar travel by now. Concluding that these races are coming here is only speculation, but we can conclude with reasonable certainty that they have, by the evidence to hand.

What I do know are there are several organizations who like to infiltrate the UFO groups and get people plenty involved in their agendas. Stargate group comes to mind as well as Project Camelot....cults who operate just exactly as any other cult.....and the money rolls in.
Now if you're simply interested in looking at these alleged sitings and then put it aside til the next..why most people do and or are entertained by these for a short time...but once you get “Hooked” I say beware....the next thing some will say is the aliens are here to transport the “privileged” to their mother ship and save them from the world...or they will give you lessons how you can travel from planet to planet...astro-projection etc.

Again, there is no proof...Do I believe in unidentified flying objects....of course..all nations are putting up all kinds of objects into space...known and secretive...this stuff is all over out there..high and low. Not to mention folks who are doing so on their own just to get the attention.

The oceans are here to investigate...we know and knew there is life there and they could or not be crossed...no alien took them across the ocean..man did it....and yes man has traveled to outer-space...in a ship that is seen to a place that is seen. You are speculating what you want to see and hope to “Believe” is so....the mind can in time believe what it wants to see despite the facts otherwise presented.

Do I believe in Aliens manning them..no I do not....Logic and reason do not compel me to believe there is other life outside our planet...just the opposite...these point to the fact that it's highly unlikely at best. There are too many known things I enjoy investigating to do more than take a glance at UFO'S let alone anyone who mans them.

Just posted my first thread in a long time at CGP (formerly HCF).

Ahhh! That felt good.
