Investigators busy with UFO sightings (PA)

BUCKS COUNTY. From flaming trees to six-sided, hovering aircraft, people in towns like Langhorne and Fairless Hills are seeing things otherworldly — making the area the current ground zero of the UFO world.

“I’m spending almost two hours a night on these sightings in Bucks County,” John Ventre of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Mutual UFO Network said last week. “This wave that [started] the second half of last year was incredible.”

Over 100 sightings since June more suited for Fox and Mulder than local police departments have attracted the attention of the Discovery and History channels.

The Discovery Channel brought its “UFOs Over Earth” series to Bucks County last year and the History Channel’s “UFO Hunters” is now investigating some of the more credible sightings.

“There was an incredible spike in 2008,” UFO Hunters producer Kevin Barry said. “We’re still talking to people to see if we have something on our hands.”

Unexplainable sightings are not new to Lower Bucks County, Barry said, noting a well-known 1973 UFO sighting along Route 1 in Fairless Hills.

“It’s interesting because there is a history there,” Barry said.

Sightings last year include a Levittown woman who said she saw probes of light dropped into a tree in her backyard, Ventre said, and a Doylestown man who saw a slow-moving six-sided UFO near his home.

The new question — beyond where aliens will appear quickly and vaguely next — is what comes first: the appearance of UFOs or the appearance of UFO television shows.

“That’s an undeniable part of some stories. What makes people see these things?” Barry said.

Wellllllllllll . . . DOH!

1. Movie studios are NOT as stupid as Congress, OThuga et al. They typically do their research rather well. They talk to quite a number of experts and first hand experiencers.

2. Even if the oligarchy is seeding, funding and/or scripting such movies etc. THEY would likely have SOME interest in being authentic to the real thing—which they have more knowledge of than any mortals.

I THOUGHT

you were aware of my perspective on such things.

Or my home page.

Or my often posted heavy duty reference site on such:

How do you know then that UFO’s aren’t satanic delusions designed to fool the masses?

If I'm reading Quix correctly, I would say that that is exactly his premise, in a nutshell, and one which I also believe to be the case.

YUP.

Guy Malone seems to leave about a

0.0000000000000000000001% chance that some of the “ET’s”

MIGHT be actual critters from other planets and galaxies.

I probably give it about a 1-3% chance.

REGARDLESS, even if they were 95% of them actual critters from other planets and galaxies

THEY ARE STILL IN CAHOOTS WITH SATAN toward hoodwinking humans and helping the oligarchy set up the tyrannical satanic government by scaring, coercing humans into it, maintaining it etc. etc. etc.

Guy and his quality panel of experts assert that they are fallen angels, watchers, nephilium. I think they are quite accurate about that.

I do NOT think that 100% of the craft are demons materializing as craft. It’s conceivable that some are.

Some folks say the craft are virtually alive. Conceivable.

Some say the craft are grown . . . like a bioengineered organism or like a crystal or like an organ grown from T-cells. Conceivable.

Some sound much more like engineered plastics, metals etc.

Some purportedly have nuke engines—at least power plants.

Stanton Friedman worked in that field . . . shrinking such power plants.

Thanks for your kind post.

“In my fathers house are many mansions, if this were not so I would have told you so.”

I remember a famous person saying this some 2,000 years ago.

I’m really not sure what your quoting of Jesus’ line about many mansions has to do with the nature of ufo’s, but since that KJV quote seems redundant (house=mansion), let me offer what I think is a better translation:

“in my Father’s household are many residences...”

Well then if we can just make up quotes let me have a go at it.

I think Jesus really meant to party and drink as much as you want and to steal from others and not work all day.

Oh that does feel better.

Next I’ll work of the constitution.

How about instead of We the People we try, A bunch of us have decided.

I don't know why you are being so contentious on this, I was not making up a quote, only offering an alternate translation that makes more sense, just as many other versions of the Bible do.

The word translated "house" is (according to Strong's):

3614 oikia oy-kee'-ah from 3624; properly, residence (abstractly), but usually (concretely) an abode (literally or figuratively); by implication, a family (especially domestics):--home, house(-hold).

I chose "household" because to me it seemed to fit the context best.

The word translated "mansions"is:

3438 mone mon-ay' from 3306; a staying, i.e. residence (the act or the place):--abode, mansion.

Again, I chose "residence" as the word that seemed to me to fit the context best.

Now, if you can cite the Greek origins from Bible texts to support your "made up" quotes, then maybe you have a point, but of course you can't.

Also, I still don't know what your quoting this passage has to do with the nature of ufo's, so let's try to stay on topic.

Sorry, I get a little touchy when people want to use something that fits their point of view. How many different versions is there with a different word for just that one word?

I guess it’s best that we all just agree that no one knows what Jesus really said or meant.

Apology accepted.

I really wasn’t trying to make what Jesus said fit my own point of view, it’s just that the original KJV wording has never made any sense to me. It’s a mansion within a house, which in today’s understanding is nonsensical. Maybe in 1611 it made perfect sense, but not to me today.

Therefore, I looked to Strong’s to see if there were alternate meanings that would make more sense and fit into the context. The meaning clearly becomes that He was assuring His disciples that there was room for them in heaven, and that he was going to prepare that place for them.

That’s why I originally questioned your use of this quote; it didn’t fit into the discussion. Looking back, it appears that you were trying to justify your quoting Jung by saying that there is room in God’s house for non-biblical sources. That’s not what this passage is about.

You’re free to quote Jung or anyone else you care to, but none of it can rise to the level of trustworthiness that is contained in Scripture. Is there truth to be found outside of the Bible? Of course, and much of it is worthy of consideration and diligent study. Does that make it the word of God? No!

Yes, there are many dozens of English translations of the Bible (not to mention translations into hundreds of other languages), and they all differ from each other at certain points, using different, but usually similar wording that mostly does not alter the content in any significant way. There is enough agreement between them that we really can know to a large degree of certainty what the original meaning was. I also rely greatly on study aids such as concordances, dictionaries, commentaries, atlases, etc. to help me to understand more fully what God has given us in His Word.

I hope this helps you to understand my perspective, and that you can choose to respect my views, as I respect yours even where we differ.

Peace.

For some reason the KJV makes total sense to me.

Maybe I was there!

LOL!

Let’s not get started on reincarnation now...or time travel!

How about reincarnation now...and time travel, and lets add space travel to boot.

And how about where heaven is located.

And what god has in store for those that love him.
