I'm not saying they are alien encounters nor can I say they are not.....yet.I must admit, I do like, interesting.
Nothing wrong with wanting things to be interesting, but don't jump to conclusions or simply agree with the claims of people based on their apparent credibility. When they bring forth the evidence, fair enough. However, there is nothing solid, and it is irresponsible to lend support to such a community. Serious research is what is required, focusing on what little we have, and compiling the best theory based on it. Not unrealistic talk of seemingly motiveless and easily-manipulated Aliens.

Many, many people say they see Elvis. I don't believe them either. I'll listen to any theory backed by proof. Otherwise, it is a waste of time. We have plenty of accounts, no real substance.
Until more evidence is found, the matter is one for debate by interested parties. Such debates will go nowhere, though. ~As soon as a religion comes to dominate it has as its opponents all those who would have been its first disciples. ~ Nietzsche To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

I heard it was a greasy spoon in Blackpool.
I am not trying to belittle the subject itself, although i admit the fringe elements are comical. Real and objective research in any field is to be respected. If there was more evidence to work with, things would be different. At the moment, there is too much nonsense floating about. ~As soon as a religion comes to dominate it has as its opponents all those who would have been its first disciples. ~ Nietzsche To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Yeah...the X-Files didn't help.
I agree with you. The only way to get evidence is to research the field. The point being that the governments probably are and we wouldn't be privy to that information, would we?.  Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. --Mahatma Gandhi | |

A UFO? It was probably an airplane. I dont beleive anyone has ever seen a UFO. Because if they have why has one never actually landed? i do beleive in extraterretrial life. Well I am not sure if there is but I think so because what point would it be to have other planets if nothing is living on them?

I think I saw one once. It was huge and shiny, and said "Good Year" on the side. Hell if I know what that means... | |

One dark and foggy night(really unusual for Brisbane), I was on my way home from a friends house. On a wide, car free road I was concentrating on seeing through the fog, when in my left peripheral I saw a large,shinny, metal object in the sky. I turned and saw what I believed to be a fucking U.F.O. It was huge and reasonably close. I had to keep my eyes on the road. My heart was pounding, I could hear it,but no sound from the craft. I had to keep looking at it, but my adrenalin was pumping flight. I slowed down, against instinct, to look more closely at this hovering phenomenon. The more the mist moved the more it revealed the bright lights of the industrial area reflecting off the round, distorting body of a fuckin advertising blimp. True story never uttered due to overwhelming embarrassment. Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. --Mahatma Gandhi | |

Roswell for a start. originally the government said it was a U.F.O. sighting and evidence was discovered as stated by Col. William Blanchard of the 509th Bomb Group. The army moved into the area and confiscated all evidence. The U.F.O. statement was recanted and the 'weather balloon' story was given. Now if it was a weather balloon as stated afterwards, why the army, why the secrecy??? and why all the witnesses, some who did find debris with inscriptions, were forced to hand it over?
That's why I think the government knows more then the U.F.O. community.  Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. --Mahatma Gandhi | |

Sounds more like an example of Military stupidity and poor communication, to me. Common when something messes up. Wonder how many millions were lost when their experimental missile/plane went down?

Sure, I've thought that too, but by now wouldn't they have come out with the truth? " By the way people, that Roswell incident back in '47 was really a prototype for the Stealth fighter", and what of the non-English text on some of the debris found? I could come up with a better cover story then a bloody weather balloon for god sake. There was also bodies reported to have been discovered...sure they could be military. But if it was military they would have been to the crash sight before anybody as they would have been closely tracking it. It just doesn't add up. Learn as if you were going to live forever.

I just saw the supposed alien autopsy that took place after the crash in Roswell and although i really believe that aliens do exist, the thing looked suspicious in my oppinion. To tell the truth, i don't know what it looks like when you cut a human wide open and take all his organs out, but i think it was not a real autopsy | |

I think the mock autopsy used a model and probably animal organs. ~As soon as a religion comes to dominate it has as its opponents all those who would have been its first disciples. ~ Nietzsche To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Yeah unfortunately hoaxes abound when it comes to alien investigation. The autopsy was never given credence. I believe it was a hoax too.
I've always believed that our next true source of energy would come from super conductors and magnetic fields. But why the big cover-up? It still doesn't make sense. New Scientist etc. talks about experimentation in this field. How do they get funding if it isn't released?
What could they have been doing in 1947 that still holds such relevents now? The only thing would be experiements using the unsuspecting human populace, which they have done before, the bastards.
