Given Werner Von Braun's assertions to his PhD assistant that the war on terror followed by the war on Iraq would be followed by an unnecessary war on ET . . . perhaps we should give more thought to the historical record--as spotty, mysterious, convoluted etc. as it is.

Then there's that story of UFO's over Iraq recently. Still trying to track those down.

Interesting times to be alive.

"Von Braun's assertions to his PhD assistant...."

?

Can you expand upon this?

[janetgreen]

Thanks for posting this. Fascinating stuff to read! My parents saw "something" in the sky here in southern California in the early 'fifties. They said that it was shiny and cigar-shaped, and it hovered for ten minutes. They were not ones to tell frivolous stories, and I believe their story to be the truth.

Von Braun died in 1977. How do you suppose he knew about the War on Terror?

I understand some of them had a horrible, bat-like shape.

Interesting times to be alive.

Maybe "Tinfoil Times" would make a good screen name.

At the very least it scores some points for alliteration...

LOL I'd like to steal your jpg, if it's okay.

My father had a cousin who was a WW2 combat pilot. After his WW2 service, he continued as an Air Force reserve officer, finally retiring in the late '60s. He was a kindly, jovial guy, who always had a twinkle in his eye.

Soon after he retired, he was visiting my folks and someone mentioned a recent UFO story in the news and scoffed at the idea of ETs existing, let alone visiting. My father's cousin lost the twinkle in his eye and got stone, cold serious. He said that he couldn't say much, but that we should not laugh so quickly at the UFO stories.

My father's cousin was a guy who was involved in much political lobbying, both in private business and in his service as a reserve military Officer. I don't know how well he was connected to the UFO stories or to what his point of reference may have been. But he was not of the tinfoil hat crowd nor did he have much time for hair brained conspiracy theories that traveled far about government cover-ups, etc. in that era.

That old guy's instant reaction to the subject of UFOs has me thinking there may be something to it.

I saw something in 1965 when I was a kid. What I saw hovered too. I was round and the lights seemed to go on and off in a circle around it like a marquee. It was low and it didn't make a sound. I lived in Chicago, not out in the boonies. I never forgot it

You're welcome to steal these. I keep them handy for whenever Quix pops up!

Given that von Braun's been dead and buried for almost 26 years now, maybe you need to rethink this statement...

I always think its interesting that so many UFO photographs were published in the 1950's and 1960's. I used to read those books when I was young, and there was lots of "evidence".

Then the video recorder was invented. We started seeing on-the-spot film of seemingly any event that occurred anywhere. Except UFO's. Don't believe I've ever seen film of a UFO on the evening news. Kinda strange, huh?

I'm no longer a believer.

Too silly.

What I want to know is: where are the weapons testing grounds located in NM? What I'm getting at is, NM is chock full of military and gov't weapons development labs. When I read stuff like this, the possibility that ol' boy was seeing something he shouldn't have is the first that comes to mind.

Thanks! I am not familiar with Quix' posts. But, these jpg's certainly seem appropriate here.

[Sam Cree]

There's lots of video, is there not, Quix?
