As more Russians purchase mobile telephones and consequently more people carry photographic and filming devices greater numbers of images of the mysterious craft or UFOs that have been seen in Russian skies for decades are brought to the worlds attention.
This craft (footage below) was filmed above Moscow on 25 April of this year by one mobile phone user. This UFO footage is creating a stir on Russian conspiracy websites and forum participants are split between thinking it is an alien craft, a secret government project or a private experimental plane. All agree that it is too large to be a kite and the consensus leans towards a military craft.
Do you know what it is?
Some . . . tolerably decent souls . . . are welcome. LOL.
If I can have a ride on your machine!
However, I never got used to the idea of . . . uhhhhh . . . that posture . . . at speed.
I’m much more of a recumbent bicycle sort of fellow.
Interesting about the British ID card for pilots. The US has already done this for boat crews. As a licensed boat captain, I am now required to hold, not just the usual master’s ticket, but a new ID card issued by the TSA, with photo and holographs, or give up my license of 26 years. I’ve been fingerprinted by computers about 20 different ways, agreed to random drug testing and after all that, informed that they may pull my license anyway due to my lifelong asthma, which they suddenly noticed after half a lifetime of submitting physicals.
Last time I boarded a plane, I showed the TSA ID card as an ID - the TSA guy said, “Sorry, we don’t accept TSA ID cards, do you have a state issued driver license?” Very funny, they don’t even accept their own card, which was a huge pain to get.
And Americans allegedly want more government.
INDEED.
Ignorance bred on insanity bred on stupidity bred on pride bred on pure evil.
The condition of my part time employed/part time retired accounts would preclude my buying a recumbent bicycle—not to mention your classy machine. And lying on my stomach gets pretty uncomfortable to me pretty quickly.
I think I’ll stop there . . . to keep it . . . uhhhh . . . classy.
I am well aware of thin skinned, and you are a poster child. I certainly can take criticism, it’s the whacknut moron freaks who believe in this UFO nonsense that can’t hack the criticism, because they don’t have the truth on their side.
Quik, why is iut you feel it’s fine to attack me when i said nothing to or about you on this thread, then when i reply, you want to whine to the mods?
Doesn’t being a hypocrite bother you?
LMAO! I'm sure we both know the answer to that one!
I haven’t spoken to the mods at all.
It’s not usually my style.
I try to deal with things directly, personally.
Yes, your personal attacks.
Not sure what you’re referring to . . . the pottery I had photos of on webshots?
LOL.
I’ve probably sold 10 pieces out of 500—most given away. I don’t earn enough to pay tuition, much less materials! I get regular classes free when I teach but not during the summer.
I don’t have any earned income in the summer. A friend gives me enough for gas in the van during the summer.
I have one biggish bowl in the last student show currently on for $62.50. Hasn’t sold yet! LOL.
Lots of folks like my better blue pieces. But this is not a high dollar art locale. Still, if I can throw this summer, I hope to have some good pieces for a Christmas sale. Assuming everything is still functioning by then! LOL.
Can get interesting. Still, I have The Lord, friends, clothes, food, shelter, transportation and communications. No big complaints.
Keep that up and I’ll have to start calling you kind.
THEN what would the neighbors think!
One of us has to watch out for your reputation!
LOL.
Thanks, Buddy.
BTW,
I don’t have an art studio. Some of those pics were taken at the college pottery studio. I sell a few things at the Christmas sale, normally. Have probably given more things away to FREEPERS than I’ve sold totally in the last 10 years.
One FREEPER on the AZ Sedona trip at Yorkie’s house, dropped one of my larger globular pots—about 12-14” in diameter . . . thankfully from only about 2 feet up onto a carpet over probably cement—the thing bounced a bit like a basket ball and he caught it before it hit the floor again, IIRC.
It was hilarious—didn’t crack nor break—and I don’t think it was all that thick walled, either.
It’s good therapy for me.
The pottery that Quix so graciously offered each of us,(on his visit here a year ago,) was beautiful, to say the least! The one I selected, has these words inscribed on the back:
“Seek Love 1st, most, always....Beauty is 1 face of HOPE”.
I will treasure it always!
Gwarsh. Blush.
Bless you for your kind words.
It’s kind of funny. People claim to like the glazes. Yet quite a number seem to like my scribbles on the bottom even more. It’s particularly funny because most of the pottery profs and experienced potters kind of look down their noses at me for bothering to put so much stuff on the bottom.
However, I have these values that are important to me and I love sharing them with folks who feel similarly.
Thanks for being such a treasured FRiend.
Blessings to you and housemate. Health and wholeness to both of you.
