Ufo's/extraterrestrial Craft

[chrissie1212]

Has anyone in the AB community ever actually seen what they believe to be a UFO,  or extraterrestrial craft? I haven't, but would love to, if they do in fact exist. I don't see any reason why there couldn't be other life forms in the Universe, especially given some of the fantastic building feats in the ancient world (eg. pyramids etc). Did they have help from more advanced beings? What is your opinion or experience?

As a teenager I was abducted by aliens. They did hideous experiments upon my person. They decided that humanity wasn't worth bothering with. I was mortified. I implored them to take away the pain and leave the swelling but they were having none of it.

Nurse!

You rang?

[davegosling]

Why did your minions do that to me? I was brutalised!

[Mamyalynne]

Time for your meds, back to bed now.

Deep blue ocean! Deep blue ocean!

it's possible there are other beings out there, but I don't buy the idea that they turned up here and taught us how to build pyramids. I mean, if that's the best they can do after having millions more years of civilisation than us...

I have seen a flying craft (in broad daylight) that looked like nothing I’ve ever seen before but I’m very sceptical indeed about reports of UFOs from other planets so I wouldn’t want to claim it came from space. I don’t know what it was.

Yes, I think there is other life in the universe, and yes, I think this planet has been visited by beings from other worlds in the dim and distant past. In fact I’m convinced of it.

It ET's are so intelligent why do they always abduct idiots?:-)

[naomi24]

Haaaa! Very good. :o)

Over 99% of 'UFO's' are simply normal things like aircraft ,balloons, birds , clouds seen from unusual angles or lighting conditions.
(Google 'Lenticular Clouds' some of them really do look like convincing UFO's.)
A UFO and an 'extraterrestrial /alien craft' are two entirely different concepts.

[EDDIE51]

Look at this, all Lenticular Cloud formations.

We have travelled many, many light years to bring you the gift of knowledge that will enable your race to pile stones on top of each other and make many believe in a virgin giving birth to the son of a deity and her husband being absolutely fine with all of that.

LOL at Douglas!! 09.28

UFO's do exist. Many of them are sighted regularly, but they are just that. Unidentified. It doesn't mean they are aliens. I remember reading about one investigator of UFO's saying that when all the hoaxes, faked photos and mis-sightings have been eliminated, what you have left is the military. We don't know what they are doing in our name. We only think we know cos we read it in the tabloids, so it must be true! The truck is out there!!!

[murraymints]

nope, but can't believe it has never happened...

[EDDIE51]

The US airforce has an aircraft known as Aurora. Officially they still say it does not exist.

But it does and it is the source of many UFO reports.

[naomi24]

//Over 99% of 'UFO's' are simply normal things //

And the remaining 1%?

[jim360]

I'd find it slightly easier to believe stories of alien spacecraft if witnesses were a little more reliable... (eg, No.6 on this list is rather surprising!)

[10ClarionSt]

I've read about the Aurora. One aviation specialist, Nick Cook, showed a photo taken from a weather satellite which tracked an object emerging from
Area 51 (co-ordinates were checked) and traveled east at a registered speed of over 8,000 mph before disappearing, one hour later, over Germany. The US Govt denies the existence of such a craft.

[douglas9401]

If 'over 99%' are normal then the 'remaining 1%' must be less than, errr, 1%.

Yours pedantically but arithmetically correct until some maths genius comes along with an obscure situation,

Dougie. ;-)

[10ClarionSt]

Naomi, please read my post from 10.19. The remaining 1% are probably to do with the military. There's no aliens. There's no spaceships. Aliens didn't build things thousands of years ago. People then were probably much cleverer than some people give them credit for. And they were cleverer than us in one way because people today don't know how lots of things were constructed back then. Did they need some sort of help from starmen? Nah!!
