I saw something when I was 13. In the Adirondack Mountains where I grew up. I was walking after dark to my cousin’s house, which was just up the hill, when I saw an odd light beyond some trees. I walked a little farther, looked up and saw a stationary oval object with lights all around it. The lights were not flashing. I’m a lousy judge of distance, but if you raise your arm above your head and make a circle with your thumb and fingers, that’s about how large it was. I just stood there and stared and it suddenly took off. That was about 1965. To this day I have no idea what it was, but I was a skywatcher after that.
You know..., I don’t doubt that people are seeing some objects in the sky. Something is going on. That much is beyond dispute as far as I’m concerned. The real question is not (anymore) is something going on. That’s way beyond dispute at this point in time. It’s now into the question of what is going on?
And when there have been investigations into a lot of these kinds of sightings (whatever they may be) a lot may be explained away as something else, but there always remains those which are beyond normal boundaries of explanations. Not just that facts are missing — necessarily — and so can’t be explained, but rather what is seen and how things are observed, are beyond capabilities of what we know. So, that’s the big problem.
So, we come back to the big question of what is going on. I think that it’s a big hoax that is being perpetrated upon a lot of people — who are actually seeing various things — but it’s still a hoax perpetrated by others (upon the public). That’s what I say and I’m been looking at this stuff for a long while. I come at it from a Christian perspective and it all adds up to a big hoax to me. But, once again, that’s not saying that the people who report these things are doing the hoaxing — no..., they’re reporting what they saw. Someone else is doing the hoaxing on this matter...
