I'm not so sure what was so hard to understand about Jim's post to you last year:

We don’t post rumors to FR. We don’t post wild ass conspiracy theory! We don’t post 9/11 conspiracy garbage! We don’t post idiotic UFO garbage except for humor!
If you find FR is not your cup of tea, please leave! Continue as you are and you will be shown the door!
I can’t make it any plainer than that.
Do not give our moderators any hassles or your account is toast.
Do not bad mouth or otherwise harass our posters!
No need to respond. I’m not going to argue with you on this.

Cool. Glad you enjoyed it. I look forward to reading yours.
“We don’t post idiotic UFO garbage except for humor!”
It seems that the 9-11 truther stuff WAS what put Quix over the top awhile ago as you mentioned in the earlier post; but the above sentence makes Quix leary of posting anything about UFO’s too. And obviously many of the folks on this thread are treating some of the “lights in the sky” stories with a serious attitude. (Albeit without Quix’s theories tied into them). Although when it comes to UFO’s, I’m guessing any theory is about as good as the next one!
Always find the UFO threads interesting to speculate on. I would think that at least with regard to UFO’s - on a thread such as this the topic can be discussed? But bringing a “serious” discussion on UFO’s to a political/economic thread should be frowned upon - which is where I think Quix got into trouble? (”Serious” is in quotes so we can still discuss various politco’s getting beamed backed to their mothership!)
I second 21twelve's postion - I do enjoy the speculative discussions on UFO topics as much as I enjoy the prepper threads and general political stuff.
Thanks for your kind reply.
Lots of FREEPERS feel that way.
However, I do not think the sensibilities among the mods et al will change until several are either abducted or a craft hovers several hours over their houses in broad daylight. I doubt even the daylight abduction of one of the leading mods would change many opinions . . . unless perhaps, it was our fearless leader who was taken for a ride. LOL.
FWIW list ping
I used to live in Granite Bay and you’ve got me missing it tonight! :)
Yikes! I must remember to read the replies on a thread before posting!
On saturday, March 10, at around 7:00 PM we were driving south on 113 below Yuba City, and saw a streak headed southwesterly across the sky, bright white, definitely not a meteor, too white and too straight, and climbing, not descending as meteors do, and then suddenly it disappeared as though it went into a tunnel.
Yikes! I must remember to read the replies on a thread before posting!
Fascinating.
Yuba City below Kayenta?
That Yuba City?
The Dine (Navajo) are quite familiar with the craft and critters.
Iron would be whitish tail with a gold halo around a white core of the meteor, just like a cutting torch.
Yuba city in the Sacramento valley.
I have a hunch that what we saw was the same thing Randy saw, slightly earlier in a different portion of its flight.
Plausible to me.
Thx
I was thinking of Tuba City, AZ LOL.
Another sighting was in 1967, Southern CA, when I observed well over a dozen at the same time, while using a equatorial mounted, reflecting telescope.
What blew me away here is, I was so amazed at what I saw, I did some research at the time and found what I observed were nearly identical to what was seen in 1951 Lubbock, Texas.
I was floored when I saw the images/photos from Texas, which were obtained years earlier and then I located the "Lubbock lights" story which was published in Life Magazine in 1952.
Some info regarding the Lubbock Texas incident.
INCIDENT 1, about a 1/4 of the way down.

INCIDENT 1
At 9:10 p.m. on Aug. 25, 1951, Dr. W. I. Robinson, professor of geology at the Texas technological College, stood in the back yard of his home in Lubbock, Texas and chatted with two colleagues. The other men were Dr. A. G. Oberg, a professor of chemical engineering, and Professor W. L. Ducker, head of the department of petroleum engineering.
The night was clear and dark. Suddenly all three men saw a number of lights race noiselessly across the sky, from horizon to horizon, in a few seconds. They gave the impression of about 30 luminous beads, arranged in a crescent shape. A few moments later another similar formation flashed across the night. This time the scientists were able to judge hat the lights moved through 30 degrees of arc in a second. A check the next day with the Air Force showed that no planes had been over the area at the time. This was but the beginning: Professor Ducker observed 12 flights of the luminous objects between August and November of last year. Some of his colleagues observed as many as 10. Hundreds of nonscientific observers in a wide vicinity around Lubbock have seen as many as three flights of the mysterious crescents in one night. On the night of Aug. 30 an attempt to photograph the lights was made by 18-year old Carl Hart Jr. He used a Kodak 35-mm camera at f 3.5, 1/10 of a second. Working rapidly, Hart managed to get five exposures of the flights. The pictures exhibited by Hart as the result of this effort show 18 to 20 luminous objects, more intense than the planet Venus, arranged in one or a pair of crescents. In several photographs, off to one side of the main flight, a larger luminosity is visible -- like a mother craft hovering near its aerial brood.
