Not sure, I'd have to consult my celestial travel databanks...Nice town. Good pizza. Good brew pubs too. I've been to Mars and all they had was water...sometimes. :rolleyes:
 
I didn't find the mechanic's report all that compelling (full of typos, too!), and while the History Channel did a good run about alien references throughout history (and within the Bible), I think the majority of people will be skeptics until some aliens decide to land and kill us all (a la the bad Spielberg WotW movie; the original book was better). Ultimately, you have to question: why would some other species travel thousands of light years just to watch us? Columbus didn't sail across the ocean just to say 'oh here's a nice place; let's go home now.' But for everyone who says there are no aliens out there, I would highly recommend watching this. Bad music, but very humbling.
 
UFOPic.png

I'm amused by the choice of picture. Instead of just choosing to use no pic, they pulled one out of their files. The only relevance I can see is that the sign is UFO shaped. ;)
 
I would guess they werent told by the govt that there is no such thing and not to believe their eyes. I would like to see more statements by the witnesses. Interesting. Perhaps it was Swamp gas,or the planet venus,or a flock of birds or the weather or perhaps mass hallucinations,etc etc.

My guess is some Air Force test pilot decided it would be funny to fly his über secret URAV over O'Hare to see if it really works.
 
Why is it again that the government has some compelling need to cover this up? Also, don't forget "the government" is a lot of people-- in many cases, people just like you and me. Are "they" in on it too?
The Pentagon, not your everyday govt but the ones with clearences above top secret. If they arent covering it up then what has happened to all the film from people like Gordon Cooper who Testified before Congress on this subject? Or why is the information released from our govt through the freedom of information act all blacked out? I have said it before there is evidence thats kept secret and has been for over 50 years. Here is a good place for some research for anyone wanting to learn and break out of their boxes that religion and govt has put them in.http://www.ufoevidence.org/

Our Govt isnt about to upset the world religions and society by saying to everyone by the way there are Aliens who's technology is as above ours as ours is above caveman. You want to look at the best cases look at the ones involving the Military and Police and look at the spin machines in action afterwards.

Columbus reported strange dancing lights in the sky when sailing to America. Thats documented history, just as the Air Force saying it had a captured " Disc" only to later call it a weather balloon. How does one go from Disc to weather balloon and this was a officer that served at the worlds only Nuclear base at the time. The spin machines are on full cycle when it comes to this subject matter.

Columbus saw the aurora borealis.

UFO simply means Unidentified Flying Object, nothing more. I believe the government works on new technologies for planes that probably look alien.

I personally don't think aliens would use "discs" anyway. Not sure why I feel that way except for aliens using them is too obvious. We know we can't really make discs fly like that so aliens must use them because their technology allows them to....

My thoughts exactly. Think about it.
If Apple accidentally leaked some pics of a PowerBook G5 a year before the release, wouldn't they try to write it off as an internal joke or the one and only (failed) prototype?

So you've got some über secret vehicle that can silently fly into Osama bin Laden's bedroom and administer a lethal injection, then engage optical camouflage to sneak into Kim Jong Il's secret bunker to snap pictures of his nuclear blueprints, then really quickly launch up to space and dock with the ISS... the list goes on. Wouldn't you try to cover it up in any way possible?

They cover up a lot of things.

Why scare the general public with front page news of "UFO CONFIRMED: 'Yes, what you saw was an alien spacecraft'"? I can think of lots of reasons to cover this up, one of them to keep the crazies/certain religious types from coming out of the wood-work.

The funny thing about this "weather phenomenon" excuse is that pilots have seen all sorts of weather. They work in the sky! More than one pilot saw it. If this was just some strange weather phenomenon caused by light shining through clouds, I'd expect airport employees to recognize it a bit more accurately than the average Joe, and if not airport employees, then at least the numerous pilots who fly the skies all the time.

I'm not sure if I believe this particular sighting, but I'm more inclined to believe it than disbelieve it. If intelligent life were found on other planets, I'm sure we'd be observing them as well. Of course, as humans, we probably wouldn't be patient enough and just go over there and invade after 15-20 years of observation, but my point still stands. ;)
 
I myself am certain that we are being observed and have been observed since biblical times by an older and much more advanced civilization. Just open up your Bible for things flying in the sky when our best tech for the time was the .....wheel.

I'd like to see some references in the Bible for aliens, or else you're just making things up.
 
Maybe the aliens came down to check on how we are doing.. they saw the mismanagement of air traffic at O'Hare and took off! :eek: Although, I can swear that I saw a UFO over Hollywood Blvd in broad daylight (way up in the sky.. no clouds.. it was a beautiful day) It wasn't a disc.. it was a proper craft-type shape.. and it just hovered for a couple of minutes. In a second, it was gone.. and I couldn't quite explain how the bloody hell it did that.

On a side note, maybe the aliens should come down again and 'beam up' Bush :D
 
I was in Chicago on November 7th and I recall a strange sight indeed...oh, wait that was Nancy Pelosi's victory speech. Maybe the light reflected off her teeth?:D

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
DENY EVERYTHING
TRUST NO ONE

:p

There is more than one car reference in the good book...
 
I think Noah even brought a couple of ligers on board his Arc just so that the other animals would have a species to tease. The Vatican just covers up Noah's twisted sense of humour and deleted that part out of the most recent versions.
 
The aliens aren't bothering to come down and destroy us, because they can see that we're doing a good job at destroying ourselves. :eek: :D
 
I am sorry but it's all my fault.

The aliens heard that humans had progressed enough to warrant contact. Unfortunately they dropped by my home and only saw a PC running Windows XP as my Mac was getting fixed at the Apple store. Based upon what they saw, they decided that we had a ways to go before we were worthy of their contact! :eek: ;)

I tried to convince them that I had another computer that was really cool and sophisticated but they didn't believe me and only laughed at my PC! ;) :p :D

You have to wonder if there are advanced civilizations and if they are observing us monkeys who just got off the tree what do they think of Man? I see the news everyday and everday it reenforces my thoughts that Man is a crazy SOB.
For example today I saw how people are now doing whats called Ghost riding meaning these fools jump out of their cars while they are running dancing on the car and next to the car then hopping back in? They showed 1 tape of a nut doing this and ran into a telephone pole:D LOL. Lets face it the human race is nuts. Would ET really want to deal with us or rather just keep a eye on us at arms length?
 
just a "scout disk"

If you take the original quote from the guy who filed the first report at the
National Reporting Center ...he said "disk diameter about the size of a quarter at arms length"..and the ceiling was 1600 ft (observed an "object" second
report at about 700')..is the following:

length quarter ~ 25 mm diameter of object
------- = -------------------
arm distance ~ 1 meter 250 meters (~700')

..you are left with either a very small object (~ 1-2 meters) or one of the
estimates is incorrect. Very small ufos have been recorded..disks smaller
than 2-10 meters etc. Usually these are scouts or recons associated with
large motherships using a beaming technology...object was observed to
rapidly accelerated upward. IF this is home-grown "boundary layer technology"...then "small objects" powered by lasers would be the first tested.

No-one mentioned any automobiles "shutting down" or anything.

True, If you have researched the "better" documented cases many times scouts are observed around and near and out from another vehicle. My suspicions is such an occurrence. Its being reported now that some govt agencys are retelling their tales. Olbermann on MSNBC.
 
Just look at digg.com in the past day, something fell thru someone's house, something broke up in the atmosphere... there's definitely stuff going down this week. The question is, is it alien technology, man made top secret technology, or freak coincidences?
