@Hawkins0001

With the secrets the US governments hide I wouldn't be surprised.

I do believe there is 'life' 'out there' just to what degree I don't know 🤷‍♀️

GraysPapaya · 26/07/2023 23:04

I definitely think there is other life out there, if the universe is infinite then there must be?

I don’t think they’ve come to earth. I’ve served with the US military and there’s no way that many people would keep it a secret.

The secrecy is around military development.

I just think we think we know everything physics etc. I think our understanding is in its infancy.

I was freaked out by the find in Mars recently though

Same here to quote maverick, we will start with what you think you only know.
Seems like there's lots of science and technology that humanity is yet to master.

What if they're not from a different planet , just a different dimension or a different time..... We have now entered the twilightzone🤣

More the TV show sliders would cover the different dimensions

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 26/07/2023 19:08

I think it's far more likely that there is life on other planets, than that there isn't.

Why they would go to all the effort needed to repeatedly come here to whiz about a bit and occasionally crash, I've no idea.

There was another story I heard that was a huge triangle of black, no lights, just blackness over the M1 in the late 1990. It was near Christmas and it block out the stars. There was rumours it was linked to a unmarked military base

The most exciting for me is basically a shooting star. When I've been star gazing.

That's certainly odd.

It was very scary and the 80s everyone was watching the same show so there was a real buzz about it.

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 26/07/2023 20:20

No it isn't.

The fact so many people are totally misinterpreting what it means doesn't make it 'earth shatteringly important'

It's completely mundane.

I agree. I rolled my eyes when I read that!

@Hawkins0001 I watched V in the 1980s it was terrifying!!!

I've not seen the original but I watched the modern remake that was quite good show.

Oceanus · 26/07/2023 22:45

@Hawkins0001 😘😘😘Thank you! I looooooove that movie. Gosh I was a kid when I first saw it. I thought it was called something funky. I think my father had died by then and I thought it would be wonderful if something like this could come true. The actors were all fabulous too. I'm not sure I can watch it without shedding a tear or two.

I think a lot of the UFOs nowadays are more likely to be the Chinese trying out new technology rather than aliens that look exactly like us: two legs, two arms, two eyes a head like ours...
Back in the day it was probably the Russians.
What's the mathematical probability that aliens look so much like us and that they can fly for such long distances with spaceships that aren't invisible and themselves being invisible?
Just want to add: I loved the x-Files as a kid and I loved those "Cocoons in the pool" movies (can't remember what they're called).
If aliens exist they're probably interested in us purely out of curiosity otherwise we'd be dead meat by now if they can fly so far "without getting indisputably caught".

UFO doesn't = alien.
It means unidentified flying object. It could be anything, most likely some kind of flying device for use in war!

On a serious note the YouTube radio show of coast to coast am with art bell and George Norway
Is a good introduction to various topics of that nature.

Thank you. I have heard of Art Bell.

mauveiscurious · 26/07/2023 22:37

My DB had a verified sighting at a local airport in the 1980s pilots and ground control we also reporting the same thing.

Also one of the neighbours a decade before witness and UFO. They did talk about it for a while but I think ended up being ridiculed.

I've had an interest in ufology for about three years. Ufo doesn't automatically mean ET. Most people think it does. A ufo could be anything

The Pentagon released three videos taken by USAF pilots in 2017? They are confirmed UFOs. They have absolutely no idea what they were

The most famous case is the tic-tac video. I think it was 2004. The guy that was flying the jet and filmed it was David Fravor who was in Congress today

The object looked like a large tic-tac. Two jets carrying four people saw it and engaged with it

It was the same size as a jet. Fravor flew downwards towards it at roughly 300mph. The tic-tac was hovering just about the ocean. It then moved from standstill directly at Fravor, it went from a standstill to 300mph and uphill, instantly

That's not possible but it happened. They have it on infrared camera. It also shortly after travelled sixty miles in one second

There's lots of theories on what it was, I think it was an unmanned craft. Some people think they are probes sent back in time by future humans

We have no idea. All we know is that it's not from this planet

Anybody who's on the fence, listen to a podcast called Merged. Ryan Graves who was also in Congress today hosts it, Fravor is on the most recent episode

There's one episode with a pilot who has 30,000 hours flying time. He saw three large discs descend in front of him during one flight and then blast off into the distance

JAL airways, another pilot who had three UFOs pull alongside him. It was recorded on radar. He spoke out and didn't fly a plane again for years because he spoke out

The film The Phenomenon by James Fox is also well worth watching. Cases going back to the 1940's

There's a reason why all the military witnesses wait until they're retired to talk. All three today are no longer in the military

The Pheonix Lights, thousands of people witnessed it. Nobody knows what it was to this day. Kurt Russell saw it!

Roswell, the first military man on the scene, Jesse Marcel came out and said he was ordered to lie

Frankie Rowe, she was twelve when Roswell happened. Her father a fireman attended the crash and showed her debris. She screwed it up in her hand and it went back to its original form

She was later visited at home and told in front of her mum that if she ever spoke she would be killed and buried in the desert

All of this is out there on video
