Are Ufos Real ?. I Mean Aliens.

[William51]

I hve not yet but would would like to see a convincing UFO to find out if they are real. There is so much evidence of sightings and odd occurrencies that make them a possibility. Have you seen one ?. Or what do you think ?.

[davebro]

"they will surely be killed."

If they haven't been vaccinated Covid will see 'em off!

[Atheist]

Naomi; when did you see that thing? And, was if following a curved trajectory or a straight line?

[naomi24]

And theland, why do you think they defy all laws of physics? The nearest solar system to our own is about 4 light years away so at 50% the speed of light it would take us 8 years to get there. Not beyond the realms of possibility.

[naomi24]

Atheist, in the late 80s and it travelled in A straight line.

[Atheist]

Good point, Naomi.

[Atheist]

I think that seeing something like that with your own eyes is the best thing to open your mind to possibilities.

[naomi24]

I’m not saying aliens were piloting that.
I’ve no idea what it was.

I do think there’s evidence that people from space came here in the distant past though.

[Atheist]

Naomi, what evidence have you seen about aliens in the distant past?

[jim360]

I hope Naomi knows this is in the Science section :)

[davebro]

Erich von Däniken made a career out of it.

[naomi24]

Ancient texts, artwork and constructions.

[naomi24]

I do know, Jim. I didn’t expect you to turn up for this topic but since you did I won’t chance my unscientific answers being zapped so I’ll leave you to it.

[burlyshirley]

I have seen ufo's and both times I was with others.

[Arksided]

William a great talking point and some unexpected posts from respected AB posters.

Like yourself however I don't think Davebro has seen anything that he can't explain...

[Atheist]

Naomi. 17:48
I'm surprised that you might rely on ancient writings. artworks and constructions. Could you perhaps expand and maybe explain the difference between your ideas and Theland's?

[douglas9401]

"What was so sinister about it?"

It only tracked left.

[Atheist]

I'm impressed that so many ABers are vaguely open to the possibility of ET life.

[Theland]

My wife has had a similar experience to Naomi on two separate occasions a few years apart.
She does not speculate on what who how or whatever.
Of course I believe her.

[jim360]

I suspect that my (entirely unserious) post has led to Naomi leaving the thread alone permanently*, so I suspect that you won't get an answer to your most recent questions, Atheist.

I think that Naomi has in the past posted more extensively about this. I might try to find some of those later, although most can presumably be found also from googling such phrases as "ancient astronauts" and "helicopter heiroglyphs", among others. It's worth stressing that the evidence for ancient alien visits is somewhat dubious, and on at least one occasion even fabricated (not by Naomi, I hasten to add, but certainly by her sources); and also seems to me to rely on doing ancient societies too little credit (ie, not taking their imagination or technological skills into account).

One not so ancient event makes me wonder what on earth went on. Fatima, 1917. A large crowd gathered hoping to see a vision of Our Lady following her appearances to three children. Allegedly the sun started to move strangely and then rush down towards the crowd. "Newspapers published testimony from witnesses who said that they had seen extraordinary solar activity, such as the Sun appearing to "dance" or zig-zag in the sky, careen towards the Earth, or emit multicolored light and radiant colors. According to these reports, the event lasted approximately ten minutes. (Wikipedia, miracle of the sun)
Many many witnesses to strange events. I find a UFO 'explanation' more likely than a religious one.
