Ufo's Are They Real

[gramps85]

There's any interesting article in todays Dail Mail relating to the late Prince Phillip's belief in UFO's.  I remember listening to an interview with Neil Armstrong who said the the late Prince asked to meet the crew of Apollo 11 when they did their tour. Armstrong said that all Phillip was interested was whether the crew had seen any flying saucers or anything that could not be explained.

Do other's have their views or seen anything that could be described as a UFO.

There are many structures around the world that we find it difficult to explain how they were built those thousand of years ago.

I visited Chichen Itza in Mexico and found it a fascinating place, bit nobody can explain how it built with primitive tools. Some of the stone work is so tightly fitted that you cannot get a cigarette paper between them

or discuss  quantum physics with an ape.

 

 

 

 

I'm sure that has happened on Answerbank.

Like politics with gulliver ^

EvD has been criticised relentlessly but, regardless of that, I think his basic theory really does hold water.  When I first read Chariots of the Gods I was religious and was incensed by the very suggestion that God was in fact an alien from elsewhere in the universe.  I read that book determined to flush out error and I checked every single biblical reference meticulously.  To my utter dismay I could find none.  What he said about the Bible was accurate.  Just shows how well Christians really know their text!  That is what led me away from belief and onto the path of researching religion, something that has been a continual fascination for me ever since.  I have shelves heaving with books.  Like gramps, I too have visited sites all over the world that EvD mentions, including Chichen Itza, and most notably Baalbek in Lebanon - home to a stone platform of impossible proportions.  How? Why? When?  The questions keep coming.

Highly unlikely,however there seems to be about twenty different channels on Sky trying to prove they exist(which they dont).

One of my all time favourite quotes on the subject of Aliens not UFO's as in the OP.

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying”

Arthur C. Clarke.

[david small]

Yes I saw a UFO in daylight at around 500ft with witnesses.

nothing ever comes of these multiple sightings.

[Arksided]

Isn't it funny how people like Nick Pope who used to work for the MOD... is now a private UFO investigator... although still sworn by the secrecy act he had sign.

[Peter Pedant]

When I first read Chariots of the Gods

o mi Gawd, insanity reigns as usual on AB - This is a book by Eric von Daniken - is he still alive? or has he been subsumed  by aliens ?

His book was widely debunked and ridiculed son after it came out 1975

The stone  conduits in his book, which "must have been electic wire guides" - were water channels

The atacama bird figure which 'cd only be a marshalling yard for aliens ships' was 3 inches wide ( oops). He  worked from photos

Gramps I recollect was the fella who was forwarding bendazoles ( good for dog round worm infestation and chistosoma ) for cancer  wasnt he?

at one point in the seventies EvD said he " was an entertainer"

 

[Peter Pedant]

Nick Pope  ... is now a private UFO investigator... although still sworn by the secrecy act he had sign.

you cant unsign the Official Secrets Act. and how convenient, whenever he  comes/came across evidence that UFOs were a load of old poo-poo ( OK ka-ka then) he could say " my lups are sealed by the official secrets act" -  and he wouldnt be the first either

[ynnafymmi]

But this all comes back to the origin of the Universe.What was here before the Universe was created?They say the Earth was created out of the Sun.What created the Sun?Aliens?ET?And who created these aliens and ETs?

[Arksided]

I know that Peter, I was just keeping it simple.

Have you being in touch with the Mother ship lately 😉

[smurfchops]

No reason to think there isn't other life out there.

[Peter Pedant]

nothing ever comes of these multiple sightings.

they dooooo ( say  with  wobbly doubting voice)

Earlier on somewhere an ABer with mass sightings couldnt cope with mass hysteria or folie a plusieurs. O Come on, be nice - some ABers cant read - 

and it isnt multiple sightings it is one sight identified by many people - innit?

so try this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_F%C3%A1tima

that got up and ran ! - 

and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Medjugorje

another multiple sighting with legs

 

[Arksided]

Peter also Nick Pope has said a lot of what he investigated could be explained rationally as the usual weather, star, planets etc in the night sky also commercial and military aircraft but although he were sent to debunk... now investigates... the other stuff that couldn't be explained. That suggests a great deal to me, if he knew Military stuff and couldn't say that they were... why carry on investigating? 

[Old_Geezer]

Of course. Any flying object that has yet to be identified is a UFO.

[ToraToraTora]

Here are the facts:

1) The universe is vast and teaming with aliens

2) The distances invovled mean we will never meet or communicate with any of them.

3) if you doubt 1 or 2 you are a moron

4) end of.

 

[Arksided]

Thank you for calling me a Moron. person that never insults anyone.

[jackthehat]

Ahhhh, the fun-sponge has arrived.

He'll be a bit grumpy because England lost the rugby match. End of.

[Arksided]

oops that was a bit backwards... are you TTT saying it's possible without scientific fact.
