KUALA LUMPUR, (AFP) -

An unidentified flying object was sighted hovering over a quiet village in northern Kedah state near the Thai border, the second such sighting there in two years, a report says.

A nine-year-old boy saw a slow-moving disc-like object about the size of a car emitting a greenish light spinning in the air over Banggol Cicar village near the town of Baling for about four minutes before it disappeared, the New Straits Times said.

Mohamad Amirul Syafiq said at first he thought it was a plane about to crash. "I then called my friends to look at the object which was hovering just over the top of a coconut tree behind my house," he was quoted as saying.

Mohamad Faiz Alias, 12, said he thought Mohamad Amirul was joking.

"But we saw clearly the object in the air, emitting a bright light," Mohamad Faiz said. Kamaruddin Othman, 12, said he realised the object was not a plane because it was silent.

His father, Othman Ahmad, 54, said he also caught sight of the UFO before it disappeared.

Two years ago, a villager said he saw a UFO hovering in the air while on his way to the mosque for pre-dawn prayers, the paper said.

Is it Friday already?

This seems like a Friday thread.

[Quix]

Thanks.

I am going to search for one of the older UFO threads of more substance and type in another section of Greer's

EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT:
The Evidence and Implications

It has some very new-to-me assertions that I find rather fascinating. Some regarding technology and impressions of communicating with God are particularly fascinating. It brings to a whole new level of importance the Scripture about "My sheep know my voice."

If I can't find a suitable older UFO thread or if the thread is not in this section, I'll do it in the current Malaysian thread.

[Quix]

Those were my thoughts, too.

Love your tagline. Not only so, but they are DUMB herd animals!

[Quix]

Hey, it's the holiday season.

Enjoy when you will.

Or not, as the case may be.

[OESY]

An unidentified flying object, similar to this one photographed over Taiwan in 1999,
was sighted hovering over a quiet village in northern Kedah state near the Thai border...
"and then it started to drop these big eggs which blew apart upon hitting the earth".

Looks like a B-52 Stratofortress (lower image), complete with vapor trails, to me:

[Sam Cree]

Yeah, herd animals are almost always of lesser intelligence and don't think for themselves. Very typical of Democrats and the Left, I guess ;-)

Thanks for the ping.

"any alternative energy source would cause a great economic depression on the world. Our dollars are not based on yellow gold anymore, it has to do with black gold.At this point in time,and I care not what others think, oil is what makes the world go round, anything else would cause havoc ,riots and starvation.We all know it,we just hate to admit it."

I don't get it. I thought that a viable alternative energy source would be the best thing since sliced bread.

Could you elaborate on the details of this 'great economic depression caused by alternative energy' theory?

[eastforker]

Alternative energy taking the place of oil will have to be a very slow process.Think about the millions of barrels of oil used each day in not only this country but the world.Multiply that by about 30 dollars a barrel.This employs truck drivers,gas station attendants,boiler makers,pipe fitters,production operators,ship builders,pipe line builders,equipment manufacturers and on and on and on.I would venture to say, although I have no written documents,30% or more of our economy is directly related to the every day use of oil.If someone can refute what I say,please do.

[Momaw Nadon]

This employs truck drivers,gas station attendants,boiler makers,pipe fitters,production operators,ship builders,pipe line builders,equipment manufacturers and on and on and on.

While it may be true that all of these oil-related jobs will be lost, is it not also probably true a comparable amount of jobs will be created to handle the new alternative energy source?

[eastforker]

Yeah,but who is gonna fill them,not the ones I just mentioned.Thats why I said it has to be slow,and I am inclined to think that is what will happen.

A chapter from Greer's book:

EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT: The Evidence and Implications

is availble at:

HERE: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1004960/posts?page=528

It outlines his assertions that the powers that be have decided toward support of his project and disclosure but are wrestling with or more waiting on some one or some group in the civilian sector to come up with a cosmology, a paradigm within which to cast the info in a positive light.

For those interested . . .

[Quix]

And to you.

[Quix]

Once upon a time, I read somewhere that 75% of the land area of Los Angeles county was devoted to the automobile in one way or another.

That's a fair amount!

[Nataku X]

Interesting... ! Most of those "unseen" rods that show up in pictures are usually small insects but this item doesn't appear to be anything recongizable. Mysterious.

[Quix]

There would supposedly be some temporary sizeable chunk of jobs until every home and transport vehicle had a suitcase sized module providing power.

But supposedly the units are rather maintenance free. Once everyone had them--then what?

And no matter how one schedules or structures the transition, tempers, power, arms, etc. are likely to flare more than a little.

Supposedly the darker powers that be are counting on that in order to reduce the world population to more managable proportions.

Of course Greer is not of that opinon, that I know of.

[ChefKeith]

Hi NR, sorry but I was having tech trouble last night and want to say...

WE ARE FROM FRANCE < /coneheads >

[Quix]

One of my professors--a 'fellow' in Carter's White House . . . advising on social psychology, etc.

asserted that significant social change in one relatively moderate area took at least 100 years.

I don't think we have that long at all. Too many transition factors from the status quo have been steepening their graph curves increasingly in recent years. The pressure from the have nots to have their fair share of the modern goodies is just one inexorable pressure that only famine, war, etc. would moderate.

Then there's whatever is happening with the biosphere whether or not global warming is a factor. The weather effects of El Nino on food production alone is seen as increasingly cataclysmic as the years race by.

Add in the population growth and water supplies already bleak, polluted to increasingly just nonexistent--witness melting of glaciers.

AT least plenty of the powers that be around the world see things as largely hopeless and are bracing themselves for a diversity of catastrophes.

[Quix]

My thought, too.

Sci Fi Channel-backed researcher sues NASA over UFO files

By The Associated Press 12.17.03

PITTSBURGH — A researcher backed by cable television’s Sci Fi Channel sued NASA for the release of records she contends the agency has of a UFO that reportedly crash landed and was recovered by government workers in southwestern Pennsylvania in 1965.

The lawsuit was filed Dec. 9 in U.S. District Court in Washington on behalf of Leslie Kean, a San Rafael, Calif., investigative reporter backed by the cable channel and a group called the Coalition for Freedom of Information.

“Our lawsuit is aimed at getting NASA to tell the public what it knew and when it knew it,” said Ed Rothschild, a lobbyist the Sci Fi Channel hired from the Washington firm PodestaMattoon, who is also identified as CFI’s executive director. Former President Clinton’s one-time chief of staff John Podesta is backing the Sci Fi Channel’s efforts, and his brother, Anthony, is a principal in the lobbying firm hired by the channel.

Bob Jacobs, a NASA spokesman, said he was unaware of the lawsuit and could not comment.

The filing marked the 38th anniversary of the Kecksburg UFO incident, which occurred in the unincorporated hamlet about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Witnesses described a “fireball” in the evening sky, and a metallic, acorn-shaped object about 12 to 15 feet high and 8 to 12 feet in diameter that landed in the woods, according to news media accounts in the Tribune-Review of Greensburg and other outlets at the time.

Military personnel quickly surrounded the site, removed the object, threatened residents who tried to inquire about it, and left — later calling the object a “meteor,” according to news accounts.

James Romansky, 57, of Derry Township, was then a 19-year-old volunteer firefighter. He told the Associated Press that he was among those who drove to the landing site.

“Now, I’m prepared for a smashed-up airplane ... and I’m thinking, ‘What in the hell is this?’ I’m looking for wings, propellers, motors, a fuselage — but there’s none of that,” Romansky said. “There’s no rivet marks on it, no weld marks on it, no windows, no doors — no possible way of getting in and out of this thing that I seen.

“There was writing on it, but not writing that you or I could understand. I always referred to it as something like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. There was dots and dashes and circles,” Romansky said.

The cable network announced in June that it was backing the effort to research the Kecksburg incident in promoting a documentary, “Out of the Blue,” which examined various UFO reports.

“This should have been done a long time ago,” Romansky said. “The United States government has given us a snow job for the last God knows when. I can’t understand it for the life of me. They can’t come out and say it’s nothing because I was 10, 20 feet away from it.”

Sci Fi Channel officials said they’re looking for an explanation of what occurred. They’re also looking for viewers.

A November 2002 documentary on the suspected 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, N.M., was the highest-rated special in the network’s 11-year history. It was seen by nearly 2.4 million people, or about 2 1/2times Sci Fi’s usual prime-time audience.

The lawsuit contends NASA has thwarted Kean’s efforts to retrieve official files on the incident by sending her irrelevant information or nothing in response to Freedom of Information Act requests.

Just read through it... thanks for the ping list, please keep it up--I love seeing those pictures, anecdotes, and evidence--
