Pinging the unidentified aerial phenomena list (ufo) ..

May 8, 1950-This is one of the most famous UFO pictures ever taken.
Photographed by Paul Trent, and first witnessed by his wife.
They were published in a local newspaper in McMinnville, Oregon.
Shortly thereafter, the Trent photos were published in Life magazine edition of June 26, 1950.
The rest is history.
(These photos have been deemed authentic for over 50 years. The analysis of the McMinnville photos by Dr.Bruce Maccabee PhD, can be found here = http://brumac.8k.com/trent1.html )

Mass-delusion alert.

Despite listening to Kook to Kook AM, for amusement only, I do not buy into the ET craze, nor do I believe that we have or are being visited.
I find it starnge that all reports of sightings and contacts are ALL anicdotal.
I have yet to hear of a visit, or even sighting of any substance, as in one landing in a public, or verifible location.

While their may be other life in the universe, we pretty well know that it is not within our solar system, and the closest would be over 11 light years away...very long trip.

The ET crowd now has to rely on the unproven idea of worm holes and parallel universes to keep the dream alive.

I welcome any contridictions to what I have posted.

Atheists seem to be very gullible.

Our government treats us like mushrooms about everything else, why not UFOs.

My wife, son and neighbor saw a UFO close up hovering above them. I was there, but in the woods, they were in a clearing.

I saw one (it's lights) directly above me and clear as can be for over ten minutes. My wife myself and two friends saw it along with HUNDREDS (maybe thousands) of other people in our area. An employee of mine saw it along with many others from the mall. I was on the lake on my boat. It made the news in a nearby city. It was silent, and was several lights in a triangle formation. We were trying to figure out what these stationary lights were, thinking it was several different objects. Then it rotated and slowly headed off to the south. I was shocked to realize it was all one object and how HUGH it was. No blimps were in the area, military had nothing in the area, we got the old “maybe it was a weather balloon” nonsense.

There is NO DOUBT, UFOs (unidentified flying objects) exist! What they are and who might be piloting them, I have no clue.

UFOs....depends on how deep the follicles go

This is where they go wrong right at the start:

"As most credible UFOlogists readily admit, proving that extraterrestrial spacecraft have visited our planet is a maddeningly difficult chore."

They've already selected their conclusion. Not scientific and this leads them off the cliff every time. It's like saying birthers try to prove Obummer was born in Kenya. Ah, not the point. The point is to show that Obummer is not a "natural born citizen" as described in the US Constitution and Obummer therefore is not eligible to be elected or to serve as President.

The first person to read up on UFO's is Jacques Vallee, who does take a scientific approach. Ignore the ET stuff as logically inacceptable.

I dunno, ‘chasing UFO’s’...sounds like another waste of time to me. What a BS adoring, idiot society we’ve turned in to, the scientific promise of the 60’s was totally and completely squandered.

[Tolkien]

Okay.

A friend of mine, when he was a child, was abducted by aliens and brought aboard their vessel.

Here is the kicker.

I became a Christian years later and realized what really happened to him. It was a demonic attack. Some of these "alien" sightings are mis-identification. Some are military. Most are demonic.

Even that French guy who is an authority on UFO's doesn't believe they are nuts and bolts crafts but inter-dimensional.

[Just another Joe]

There is something out there.

Whether it's demonic attacks, extraterrestrials, some government's prototype military aircraft, or just the Zoombquen aliens from the center of the Earth trying to warn us that so many people standing on the Earth's crust is going to break through their ceiling; there is something that causes UFO sightings.

There are too many sightings by military pilots, civilian pilots, radar, etc for there NOT to be something causing it other than mass hysteria.

[ILS21R]

They’re out there. I’ve seen them before and I know what I saw... no wait.

Get over it. There just people looking for a vacation spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of interstellar politics.

Consider: there are millions of hospitable planets among the trillions of stars in the known universe.

Consider: just because something has not been proven, does not mean it does not exist.

Consider: everything we know of the electromagnetic spectrum and its properties comes from four vector equations.

Consider: those four vector equations where transformed from four field equations which were part of 200 field equations.

Consider: the field equations were written in the 19th Century by a noted mathematician - James Clerk Maxwell - and transformed by a self-educated man - Oliver Heaviside, who considered field equations ‘abominations’ and disposed of the the rest on that basis (and personally believed in having other people pay his bills).

Consider: among the millions of habitable planets, that tens of thousands support intelligent life.

Consider: among the tens of thousands which support intelligent life, thousands have civilizations (cultures) far older and more advanced than our own.

Consider: of those thousands of advanced cultures, hundreds did not make the same mistake Heaviside made, and so are not limited by light speed, nor energy limitations as Maxwell's field equations state.

The coming attractions look like one of those insipid ghost chasing shows, running around at night filmed in UV, screaming in fright.
