Martian UFO?

[Joe Hadenuf]

My first impression is that this object is at a good distance away, not close to the camera lense.

[Quix]

Interesting.

I wondered about that.

THANKS.

[Frank_Discussion]

Aye. No blurring at distance, it makes it look far into the field of view.

It looks like something that has popped up over the horizon.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Most likely a speck of dust in the air.

It appears to be too geometric to be dust. And it appears to be a good distance from the camera.

[thoughtomator]

Ah... I get it. You're a dogma-brainwashed religious fanatic who is accustomed to accepting wildly improbable assertions without critical analysis.

When you finally come to face with your Messiah, please pass on this message: "Neener, neener!"

[Quix]

I agree.

I suppose . . . having been born genetically a

'bird of rare plumage'--some would say 'very, very, very rare plumge'

it has been easier for me than it is for most people . . .

to construe options, realities, factors, issues, possibilities which seem to rarely occur to others or which are too eagerly and rigidly dismissed out of hand by other people.

Certainly there are plenty of both TYPE I and TYPE II errors in such a life.

But what amazes me is that

NAYSAYERS SEEM VIRTUALLY 100% ADDICTED TO TYPE I ERRORS and seem to absolutely ignore TYPE II errors those some of those can be much more dramatically life/way of life threatening.

It's a fascinating phenomenon amongst a group pontificating so arrogantly about being logical and scientific!

Sheesh.

[Joe Hadenuf]

My first impression said 500-1000 yards.....

[Frank_Discussion]

You're welcome.

BTW, I hope I caused no offense in saying I was more pragmatic. All I mean is that I don't necessarily think that broad-audience alien contact/disclosure is necessarily spiritual in it's possible occurrence. I see it as a scientific possibility and just another piece of potential reality.

And, no, I'm not an atheist. God can make as many different intelligent being-types as he wants, I don't mind. ;-)

[Quix]

I wouldn't even waste breath asking them.

They are not quite ready to own anything in that ball park.

They could.

But they won't. Authorization has not come through for such yet.

[Frank_Discussion]

Dang. I gotta go, like, RIGHT NOW. I'll hit thread again ASAP, but it may be a while.

Explain Type I and Type II, please?

[Quix]

My impression, too.

I wonder if it's on any of the stereoscopic shots.

There are those, on whate even I consider the fringe areas of the subject,

there are those who insist that--the USA--have had ET assisted cooperative bases on the moon and Mars and elsewhere in the solar system for at least a couple of decades.

And, there are those who insist that ET's have ordered us off the moon and to keep our nukes and dirty habits within our atmosphere.

We shall see at some point in the not too distant future.

[Frank_Discussion]

You're a better man than I. I can't seem to put a mental scale to these images from the Rovers.

Gotta Go!

[Joe Hadenuf]

That was just my first impression, that it was not dust, as it appears to be geometrical in shape, and it appears to be distant from the camera lense.

[Quix]

My Lord and My Savior has more than earned infinitely more respect than would allow such a cheeky statement in such a context.

You'll have to be cheeky to the God-of-the-Angel-Armies; the Creator of all that is

your infitesimal little self.

[BenLurkin]

Phobos or Deimos perhaps?

[Quix]

BTW, i tested a long list of my assumptions out exhaustively, extensively and repeatedly several decades ago as well as persistently since.

I'm also accustomed to pretty critical analysis and thinking . . . so much so, that some friends and relatives have become exasperated at my capacity and tendency to tease an issue or topic or bit of evidence out to seemingly endless microscopic bits of fibers.

But hey, you're not part of my inner circle. Some things are reserved for more charitable folks.

[the invisib1e hand]

cloes-up of shot reveals this:

[Quix]

Thanks. I appreciate the estimate.

[Quix]

Not the slightest offense taken.

As my chairman said with at least a bit of truth in it . . .

LIFE IS SO COMPLEX, JUST ABOUT ANY COCKAMAYMEE EXPLANATION WILL DO.

I disagree theologically with him on that score . . . but still, he has a point.

Certainly I don't pretend to have a full explanation of much of anything.

But I love collecting puzzle pieces and considering possibilities.

And, there's quite a few clusters of puzzle pieces with more than 2-3 puzzle pieces in the cluster at this point.

[BenLurkin]

Say, I'm curious (and please don't flame me cuz I'm already stressed from doing taxes) . . .

But are you suggesting there is some kind of connection between Christ and UFOs?

And if so what is the connection . . . ?
