Of what use are lights on a starship?

At the speed of light your headlights become tail lights, and if you go faster than the speed of light you headlights order pizza and time it so it's waiting for you when you get back.

Not sure if this is scientifically correct, but it is the version I accept.:D

I just assumed it's because space is dark. Really, really dark. You may think it's dark when the streetlight is out in front of the chemist's, but that's peanuts compared to space.

I think a starship would have running lights for the same reason ships and airplanes have them - to let other craft know where they are.

I don't pretend to understand light speed, but I doubt lights of any kind would be of use.
 
If Aubrey knows as much about UFO's as he claims to, I want to know what he thinks about the Ernie Douglas incident in 1967.

You think there's that much intergalactic traffic? Wouldn't you imagine the technology which enabled interstellar travel would probably be light years (sorry) ahead of anti-collision systems like running/navigation /landing lights?

Oh the tech is super-advanced, its just that the devices which make it all work glow in a manner which, to our primitive eyes, resemble light bulbs.

There are no starships, but if there were they'd need land or dock somewhere.

As far as traffic goes I'm sure they'd have alternative warning systems to lights, but as the US Navy found out last year, running lights and a guy looking out the window is as good as radar and GPS.

You'd think so, but then I'm left wondering why, if they are trying to keep their visits secret, they would hover over built-up areas and military bases with their lights blazing?

They like to taunt the wild life.

I immediately dismiss all ufo sightings that reference lights, especially those that describe red and green lights.
 
An opinion piece.

UFO Legacy: What Impact Will Revelation of Secret Government Program Have?

Believers in aliens visiting Earths friendly skies via Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) couldn't ask for more: A secretive government group backed by federal black money, a talkative former U.S. military intelligence official, fighter-jet video of odd objects doing out-of-this-world maneuvers and a space mogul purportedly housing leftovers of unidentified aerial craft.

That's the kind of simple question that drove me to look for answers in the raw reporting data.

The bottom line for me is that the earth's atmosphere does crazy things with light. For example depending on the clarity of the nighttime air I can see the lights from radio towers 35 miles away, other nights I cannot see the lighted smoke stacks of the Moss Landing power plant three miles away.

I'm someone who spends a lot of time looking at the sky (I'm an airplane buff, and bird watcher) and I can see how someone seeing something for the first time would freak out.

The fun thing is there are large craft in the night sky that are unlit:

12 years ago the DEA had a cousin of one of these in my area, accept it was a dark color, and I have no idea what it was looking at, but I did know it was in the night sky.

Someone seeing a dark shape against the night sky would have a crazy story to tell.
 
The phenomena are almost always intended for people to observe, but very few are aware of this, which again, is by design.

Oh my, do tell us about it and how you gained this knowledge? Which shadowy group is doing this for what nefarious reason?

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs, often referred to as "the Brookings Report"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookings_Report

UfOlogists used to cite this report all the time as evidence of a conspiracy of silence. Not so much these days.
