Almost 50 percent of Americans, according to recent polls, and millions of people elsewhere in the world believe that UFOs are real. For many it is a deeply held belief.
For decades there have been sightings of UFOs by millions and millions of people. It is a mystery that only science can solve, and yet the phenomenon remains largely unexamined. Most of the reporting on this subject by the mainstream media holds those who claim to have seen UFOs up to ridicule.
On Feb. 24, "Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs — Seeing Is Believing" takes a fresh look at the UFO phenomenon. "As a journalist," says Jennings, "I began this project with a healthy dose of skepticism and as open a mind as possible. After almost 150 interviews with scientists, investigators and with many of those who claim to have witnessed unidentified flying objects, there are important questions that have not been completely answered — and a great deal not fully explained."
"Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs — Seeing Is Believing" airs Thursday, Feb. 24 from 8-10 p.m. ET on ABC. The program will be broadcast in High Definition.
This two-hour primetime special reports on the entire scope of the UFO experience — from the first famous sighting by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 to the present day. The program draws on interviews with police officers, pilots, military personnel, scientists and ordinary citizens who give extraordinary accounts of encounters with the unexplained. Also included are the voices of professional skeptics about UFOs, including scientists who are leading the search for life forms beyond Earth elsewhere in the universe.
The program explores the facts behind the enduring mystery of the incident at Roswell, N.M., and looks into the strange stories of alien abductions. Among the UFO cases presented:
Minot Air Force Base, N.D., October 1968 — Sixteen airmen on the ground and the crew of an airborne B-52 witness a massive unidentified object hovering near the base.
Phoenix, March 1997 — Hundreds witness a huge triangular craft moving slowly over the city.
St. Clair County, Ill., January 2000 — Police officers in five adjoining towns all independently report witnessing a giant craft with multiple bright lights moving silently across the sky at a very low altitude.
Today if you report a UFO to the U.S. government you will be informed that the Air Force conducted a 22-year investigation that ended in 1969 and concluded that UFOs are not a threat to national security and are of no scientific interest. But as one of the world's leading theoretical physicists says in the program, "You simply cannot dismiss the possibility that some of these UFO sightings are actually sightings from some object created by … a civilization perhaps millions of years ahead of us in technology."
"Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs — Seeing Is Believing" is produced by PJ Productions and Springs Media for ABC News. Mark Obenhaus and Tom Yellin are the executive producers.
Actually, it was aswimming rabbit.
aka
Underwater Ferret-like Oraganism
imho . . .
THE ABDUCTION phenomena is diverse enough and complex enough
!!!!NO!!!! tidy box explanation, including yours,
will BEGIN to fit the data.
BTW, there's tons of abduction stuff where the victims have had body marks, implants etc. and even empty wombs after the experience--immediately after--that they did NOT have going to bed.
Sleep paralysis doesn't begin to explain all of it.
Yes, and in later years he discouraged investigation of the beings. He pretty much went off the deep end about their evilness, etc. I followed him on and off way back when, then maybe ten years ago, it was astounding what he wrote. Actually, the last thing I read, was downright frightening.
Revelations?
WELL SAID.
Would love to have copies via FREEPMAIL or normal email, if possible. Am starting to get together a Word file of FREEPER experiences.
It wasn't too bad....
Of course it was made for the mass public who don't have cable ; and it wasn't meant to be too hard to understand and certainly not to provoke further thinking
I have virtually 0.00% interest in fairies. Sorry.
I don't begin to 'know' that.
I certainly have come to accept as fact that the 9 more commonly known/seen 'races' . . . there probably are 9 such.
ONE source asserted that there were more than 70 such dinking around with observing earth. I probably 60-70% believe that.
I admit that implants, empty wombs, body marks and other physical evidence is inconsistent with the sleep paralysis theory. I would still take that as the best explanation for the majority, and handle those with that kind of evidence on a case-by-case basis. I simply have not run across any abduction stories with credible, verifiable physical evidence of that nature, but, what the heck, I think the cosmos is a stranger place than most people can imagine.
That's your particular spin on things. I imagine if someone tells you something you find odd, you turn your head and make a cicular loony gesture pointing your finger at your head to your friends.
But there are plenty of people who want to truly see and weigh the evidence. Highly educated people. People who cross all the various facets of human endeavor.
So it does the cause of finding the truth no good whatsoever to just randomly slander them all as a bunch of nutbars.
I may be a bit of a kook, but I'm not a close minded self centered kook.
Greer gave a talk somewhere in the last several months. The transcript is on the web. I don't think there were startling revelations. Some incremental bits, perhaps. I don't recall. Have it on my HD.
Las Vegas Dave probably has the link more handy than I do.
You got it bub.
1) The major priority is CONTROL toward the tyrannical gloabal government of super control over citizens.
2) Some, if not all the puppet masters in control of the UFO technologies etc. are terrified that they'll be executed if the public finds out much before the public is effectively totally controlled.
Anyway, there was a contest as to who could solve the mystery and it was won, not by a somebody into hard sciences but by some librarian from Arizona who researched every one of the reported mysteries and showed how each was wildly exaggerated or even fabricated.
True enough!
yes, the revelations. They scared me. That was the only time I read part of the bible. I haven't touched a bible since. I don't really get it.
My family is like Semiannual Christians, Christmas, Easter, and that's it. But I havent been to church in years!
My relative insisted that there are
essentially
MIB teams that can go to any spot on the globe--INSTANTANEOUSLY by UFO craft, if need be--to clean up a crash or other incident with evidence that might get out from under their control.
I wouldn't doubt, really that there are human/alien hybrids. Just toooo many puzzle pieces in that direction. But I'm not certain by any means. Just believe say 70-90%
Have another one....
