Earlier this month we reported about a sighting of a luminous grey UFO in the historic town of Bury St Edmunds in the United Kingdom. The UFO was seen spinning and hovering over the St Edmundsbury Cathedral by a townsman who promptly notified the police. It later emerged that the UFO was also seen by a staff member of the Cathedral. Sarah Friswell, the Cathedrals visitor officer, noted that the topic of the mysterious craft had come up in a staff meeting and

you work at Columbia Correctional, right? ;)
No, that is fringie work. I work at the university, where I get paid to know the difference between fact and fantasy.

Ahhhh, another egghead educated far beyond their intelligence.

Yes, this is your brain on Learnin'

[mkjessup]

Pretty lame for a university elitist.

You're beginning to worry me.

Then by all means let's get your mind on something else, say, like answering direct questions? They'll be repetitve, certainly, but they're questions no self respecting kook hasn't evaded before, so you won't feel ambushed.

With all the cameras available, where's the sharp well defined images of flying saucers? And with camera phones so prevalent, with the introduction of wireless SD memory cards, and with wireless internet connections available in large parts of the country, how could the Gummint stop the distribution of images taken if a flying saucer ever does set down somewhere along Interstate 40?

Why do space aliens only vandalize farmlands at night? Why not tear apart Mt. Rushmore or the Pyramids?

Why would space aliens travel such vast distances only to bugger us? Why can't they walk up to us in the grocery store and offer to shake our hands instead? And do space aliens obsess with the backsides of polar bears or baby seals or blue whales?

How can the United States Gummint hold space aliens hostage? Why doesn't such an incredibly advanced race, capable of coming through our bedroom walls for stool samples, not go through the gates of Area 51 and rescue their fellow(s)?

Why don't aliens barnstorm in broad daylight? And why don't their sudden moves create sonic booms?

Why don't the kooks ever question their beliefs the way an inquisitive first grader would?

Addenda:

At the risk of overtaxing you, I must ask another question: Why are you wasting time with me, instead of going after your kook pals and/or Art Bell? I didn’t creat a cottage industry out of alien abductions.

You seem to display the mental faculties of a 14 year old. Am I close to guessing your age? Just curious, jessup.

Then by all means let's get your mind on something else, say, like answering direct questions? They'll be repetitve, certainly, but they're questions no self respecting kook hasn't evaded before, so you won't feel ambushed.

First of all, I'm not a kook. You're unable to fit me into your preformed definitions, that's probably one reason you're getting so frustrated here.

With all the cameras available, where's the sharp well defined images of flying saucers?

That's not the issue here. But tell you what, we'll both keep looking for them, and if you see them first, Freepmail me, and vice versa.

And with camera phones so prevalent, with the introduction of wireless SD memory cards, and with wireless internet connections available in large parts of the country, how could the Gummint stop the distribution of images taken if a flying saucer ever does set down somewhere along Interstate 40?

I'm not the 'Gummint', so you're asking the wrong person.

Why do space aliens only vandalize farmlands at night? Why not tear apart Mt. Rushmore or the Pyramids?

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Why would space aliens travel such vast distances only to bugger us? Why can't they walk up to us in the grocery store and offer to shake our hands instead? And do space aliens obsess with the backsides of polar bears or baby seals or blue whales?

All excellent questions. And all meaningless. You're trying to assign human values to a hypothetical alien civilization that most likely is indifferent to polar bears, baby seals and blue whales.

How can the United States Gummint hold space aliens hostage? Why doesn't such an incredibly advanced race, capable of coming through our bedroom walls for stool samples, not go through the gates of Area 51 and rescue their fellow(s)?

Again, you're asking the wrong person here. But if we were to engage in some hypothetical brainstorming, IF an advanced civilization somehow were to 'lose' one or more of their fellow space travelers who were subsequently taken 'hostage' (as you call it) by any government, there is no question they could probably be rescued with impunity. In such a hypothetical situation, they might choose to 'allow' that earth government to proceed on the assumption that they were actually in control and able to hold the aliens in question, in custody. It would allow an alien civilization to provide disinformation while allowing Earthlings to believe they achieved a distinct advantage.

Why don't aliens barnstorm in broad daylight? And why don't their sudden moves create sonic booms?

Probably because old World War I style bi-planes are more popular for 'barnstorming', as you call it. As for sonic booms, the presence or absence of such effects makes no difference regarding the reality of the phenomena, whatever that phenomena happens to be.

Why don't the kooks ever question their beliefs the way an inquisitive first grader would?

How do you know they don't?

This subject seems to agitate you. Maybe you've been abducted yourself?

[mkjessup]

At the risk of overtaxing you, I must ask another question: Why are you wasting time with me, instead of going after your kook pals and/or Art Bell? I didn’t creat a cottage industry out of alien abductions.

I don't consider it a waste of time. You're quite frankly amusing the Hell out of me, I'm hoping we can keep this thread going through the end of the year, so don't let me down now, ok?

[mkjessup]

Your highly honed, university-acquired analytical skills are failing you. Nowhere near 14, and I'm not even trying to recapture my youth with a Kawasaki.

Thank you for asking. Here is one of the first fragments recovered.

"University of Calgary's Ellen Milley was the first to spot the meteor fragments in the ice on a pond 40 kilometres southwest of Lloydminster."

[Revolting cat!]

Not guilty!

[dragnet2]

Do you guys not believe in extraterrestrial UFOs or life outside earth due to lack of hard evidence?

Just curious.

[dragnet2]

Very good. I had not heard they actually recovered any fragments. I wonder how they determined that this specific fragment was actually what was video taped a few weeks back.

Thanks!

First of all, I'm not a kook.

Be they from outside the Earth’s atmosphere or from some other dimension parallel to our own, there are entities of some sort intruding into our planetary space.

Sorry, you lose. Johnny, tell the kook about his nice consolation prizes.... 

[mkjessup]

Work on those anger issues JoJo, all the mockery and ridicule your wretched soul can conjure up won’t make the UFO phenomena go away.

Or in the words of the musical novelty group ‘Prozak’, “it sucks to be you”.

Do come again, the night is young and I got plenty of doggie treats for ya Fido.

No, I don't believe aliens are coming here, the same as I don't believe in global warming, due to lack of hard evidence.

As stated before, the Universe is such a vast place. It's very conceivable that life exists elsewhere, but I don't think an advanced race would cross such distances to do the inane things the kooks claim.  Why do they have to hide? They'd have nothing to fear from us, and invoking some sort of Prime Directive on them is a human conceit. They would be alien, after all. For all we know, their primary purpose for coming here would be to have sex with limestone. They'll most likely care less about our emotions, if they understood the concept of emotions at all, much less worry about destroying our spirituality, worldview, etc, with their arrival.

Almost everything attributed to space aliens, whether it's their actions or our hopes in how they'll handle us with kid gloves,  reeks of the human subconscious.

Jojo, do you not believe in extraterrestrial UFOs or life outside earth due to lack of hard evidence?

Just curious.

Oh OK, I was just curious.

Thanks.

mockery and ridicule

obligatory phuckwit

This level of ostrich-like behavior

those doing the ridiculing were most certainly phuckwits

Maybe they're hiding up your ass.

Yes, it sucks to be me, but at least I'm not a hypocritical fringe kook who took on the Freeper name of some flying saucer pulp writer who killed himself back in the '50's and is now a deity of paranoid schizophrenics.
