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

Flatland is online. I had my son read it in 10th grade. He enjoyed it so much we then bought a copy. It’s pretty easily found at used bookstores, too.
Don’t you find it at least a little odd that there doesn’t seem to be any security camera footage? In the UK, even in small towns, security cameras are everywhere and a lot of them have clear views of the horizon.
Police vehicles in the UK also carry dashboard cameras, as here and in Canada. The meteor in Alberta was visible for a few seconds, at night, over what is not a densely populated or heavily policed part of the world. Yet there are at least three separate videos of it. This thing in Suffolk supposedly hung around for some time. Shouldn’t there be a lot of videos of it?
People are free to believe what they want. There are plenty of places on the internet for this type of discussion. I don’t seek out UFO forums and bother people there. However, when you bring it here I reserve the right to respond in a civil manner and find it objectionable when people try to trivialize my right to do so - for instance by describing anyone who holds my views as a “phuckwit”.
Unless you have the emotional need to feel the abuse and ridicule of others maybe you should confine the UFO discussions to UFO sites.
Hey good morning DieHard, how are you my FRiend?
This will be a brief post, as I’m going to forward my resume’ to the National Weather Service, I apparently have skills at forecasting that I never realized, as my prediction about the scoffers, phuckwits, etc., was absolutely bang on, LOL
Haven’t read ‘Flatland’, but will hunt it down, naturally there will be the possibility of some failed comedian making a connection between the book ‘Flatland’ you mentioned and the ‘Flat Earth Society’, just you wait n’ see.
This level of ostrich-like behavior makes me wonder if Phil Klass left some walking around money in his will to his fellow skeptics before he checked out in August ‘05, lol

LMAO.
Thank you Kimberly, I needed that.
btw, love your tagline, here’s one of mine from the past:
That looks like the saucer from My Favorite Martian.
The music sounds like a wind chime to me, I figure it was hanging on the terrace from which the video was shot.
As for the saucer picture, it reminds me of Uncle Martin’s from My Favorite Martian, the old TV series.

It is one of those really great books that I take down from my shelf from time-to-time to re-read.
It had a profound effect on me when I first read it, because suddenly everything made sense: like, for example, how it is possible for God to be Eternal. Or how does Light and time “work”. It provided just enough answers to allow me to connect a whole bunch of dots.
I also enjoyed the playful jabs at male chauvanism: apparently the author was an early advocate for women’s rights.
Edwin Abbott Abbott was a very clever man.

(big grin!) “The sign of the True Prophet.”
Say, any idea which numbers I should pick for Saturday’s Lotto?
But if they're round and can move in any direction at any time, how do you know they're backing up?
> Thanks for the post - ... you were right:
My pleasure! And thanks for the link.
(If you haven’t read it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have)
I am 100% completely convinced that this is a UFO.
Unidentified Flying Object
Its an object, in the sky, that has not been identified. Its an unidentified flying object.
Happens all the time. I saw something yesterday streak across the sky. For a minute, it was a UFO but I quickly identified it as a bird. The moment I identified the flying object it ceased to be a unidentified flying object.
And.... lemme ask you, if a UFO is in fact identified as an alien space craft, isn’t it technically not a UFO any longer? I mean, its been identified, right?
As clever and entertaining as you are seeking to be, you have actually stumbled on to a bit of rhetorical sleight of hand that some believe the United States Government has engaged in for decades, when they announce periodically that “there are NO such things as UFO’s”, meaning that the Government KNOWS what they are, i.e., “IAOs” (Identified Aerial Objects), and there is no longer anything unknown about them.
Of course until the public is given all of the information which is squirreled away in government files, UFOs will remain exactly that: Unknown.
