Wow, a post like that on this thread and no one replied? That is a pretty amazing sighting.

Quix - ping.

I went to bed once the abductee stories started. Nothing new up to that point for me, so I doubted that section would have anything new either.

Thanks for the synopsis.

[Quix]

AMEN!

[Quix]

YUP.

[eyespysomething]

Yes.

:-)

Beautiful if quite anthropomorphic sentiment

When I first heard that "Petah" was doing a show on UFOs, the first thing that occurred to me is that he finally has some appropriate material. This show is what the MSM/LSM/Dino-Media are all about in terms of relevance, accuracy, etc.

The hero in "we the living" or Atlas Shrugged" I can't remember. A novel by Ayn Rand, great read, excellent philosophy. I read it a zillion years ago.

ACTUALLY, there is a surprising number of disc etc shaped drawings of sky craft that are BC. IIRC, some may be more than 10,000 years old. Certainly there are Medieval (sp?)drawing, paintings with such. IIRC, the BC drawings come from virtually ever continent.

I think there are several ancient UFO sorts of website pages one can search for.

TRUE AND AMEN!

[My2Cents]

Well-said.

[BenLurkin]

What were they?

Balloons -- caught in an updraft. You were correct in your first conclusion.

[My2Cents]

There is little doubt people are seeing "something", however there is little proof of what it actually is.

Why is it no one in the UFO investigative field has considered the possibility that what is being seen are demonic deceptions -- spiritual apparitions intended to lead the gullible and unbelieving even further from the truth?

There are some fitting issues about "the way the mind works."

And, there are some interesting aspects to mind reading and influencing images in the mind and all the rest by technology from a distance.

When I was in undergrad school about 1967 or 68, I asked the physics prof what he thought UFO's were. He said he had two different colleagues working in two different areas of highly classified work.

One was working with technology which would project images etc. into the minds of the enemy of a vast force of tanks, whatever against them.

The other was working in an area dealing with other worldly craft.

There are many things that 'the way the mind works' just does not explain away at all. Civilian and military pilots, radar operators and air traffic controllers have all observed things for which that is a very, very inadequate out.

Also, the way the mind works does not explain persistent types of very shaped body gouges, outlines, marks on victims. It does not explain very serious, chronic ailments--some involving severely injured limbs etc. being healed post abduction.

etc.

[BenLurkin]

I understand the concept. What I'd like to know is how exactly does one go about creating a wormhole and 'bending space".

[Quix]

Well said.

I was shocked to learn in my marriage.

Mostly, women don't seem to wear makeup for men.

Most men HATE makeup--feels like lard or butter to their touch. Most of us like our women raw. . . in more ways than one.

Women wear makeup competing with what other women think about how they look.

[Veto!]

Conservatives are from Mars. Liberals are from Venus.

And that says it all. LOL. No need to read the rest of this thread.

Dr Kaku apparently did a very fine job, anchoring the presentation in reality.

[Quix]

Very well put.
