The moon's got lights on? That'll be the Clangers hanging out their Christmas lights. :)
 
It's been a bit quiet in here recently.

I'm a newbie around here, but I love the entire UFO thing. (not that I think there are aliens visiting us....though it's not an impossiblity, when one considers the distances required, energy required to travel said distances, time needed to travel so far, the motivating factor to merely come here as what is apparently space tourism AND FINALLY the unlikelyhood that beings from so far away would have even received our radio broadcasts as yet to even know we are here, well it seems less likely than Bigfoot)

That being said, I find the culture of UFO's fascinating. I'm a little baffled by the fact that of all the weird WOOO stuff out there, UFO's are the one that has a real world solution. (what I mean is that there isn't another big hairy critter that people mistake for Bigfoot, or another one horned horse people mistake for unicorns) But there is a lot of experimental and unknown manmade stuff flying in the sky that could easily be mistake for UFO's!!

Did everyone see that drone the Iranian's captured? You gonna tell me that if someone saw a test flight of that 12 years ago they wouldn't have assumed UFO? Even a someone as skeptical as many of us would've been intrigued by it I reckon.

Yet folks continue to jump from the first possible explanation to the most extreme "solution" without out stopping anywhere in between... It boggles the mind.......

Hi LogicFail,

All good points until you make the comment, "Yet folks continue to jump from the first possible explanation to the most extreme "solution" without out stopping anywhere in between."

I've been interested in ufology since I was a child and talked with hundreds of people, many of them witnesses. None of them have simply jumped to the conclusion that what they saw was some kind of alien craft. In fact, most had a hard time accepting that what they saw could have been an alien craft even if that explanation seemed to fit. Typically, if the object was something odd, they will say something like, "I don't know what it was".

In two cases, the witness saw the object clearly in daylight within a few hundred yards, but even these people had to be asked outright where they think it came from. Up to that point they simply called it a "thing" or described it as a "flying saucer thing ... you know ... a UFO".

So in reality, the notion that everyone who isn't some kind of indoctrinated skeptic jumps to the conclusion that all mysterious flying objects are UFOs ( alien craft ), seems to be an opinion propogated by the skeptics; perhaps to prop up the image that anyone who believes in UFOs is irrational and impulsive. That idea is simply untrue.

Lastly, as for all the reasons the skeptics give as to why alien visitation is improbable: There is no scientific reason why alien visitation isn't possible, and we don't know all the variables to be able to make an accurate assessment of the probabilities. The more we learn, the closer we get to inventing the technology that will make interstellar travel possible for us. Unless civilization comes to an end, I would not bet against interstellar travel becoming a reality by the end of the next century.

It's hilarious that you make that claim in the same sentence where you once again try to advance your UFO = Alien spacecraft nonsense. All you have done for page after page here is resolutely reject all mundane explanations for your own sighting based on nothing but the claimed 'infallibilty' of your own 40 year old memory.

After it was proved that his memory is about as fallible as they come. No doubt he forgot that part.

I kind of agree with you for once. I find that "folks" are more willing to say they saw something they couldn't identify.
It's silly UFOlogists who jump to the conclusion that those "folks" saw aliens in flying saucers.

I reckon you are saying what is on the minds of all of us who have been following Mr Ufology's posts in this thread.

And "that explanation" of alien craft seemed to you to fit better than the explanation of witches on broomsticks because....?
