UFO's

[RCMerchant]

What do you think is going on?
I don't know what the f**k they are or what to believe.
Except I seen them up close. I don't mean parked on my front lawn. I mean that I could see a shape and form to them.
When I was a 8 ,when I was 14, when I was 32, and when I was 36.
I know that sounds like tin hat s**t, but I really did.
Most folks don't stare at the sky. I have since I was a little kid. I always loved the sky and stars.

Used to see all kinds of stuff when I lived in El Paso.

I haven't seen any in years, but genuinely believe there's something out there.

I had witnesses to all 4 events. And none of us were high, drunk, or whatever.  3 of them in daylight.

If you seen one, with 4 other people there, you may broaden your horizons a bit.
Did it ever occur to you that it's the other way around?
They are in movies, because people see them.
They were in the sky long before movies were even invented. During WW2 they were called "Foo Fighters", taken from the Lil' Abner comic strip saying "Where there's foo-there's fire!". And yes, that's where the band get's it's name.
The global media first made it big news in 1947. The first UFO movie was made in 1950.

But of course, morons who can't distinguish what they see in movies and TV may get confused whenever they see a light in the sky.  


I don't think they are little men from outer space. I don't know what it was I saw.
That's why they are called UNIDENTIFIED Flying Objects.

I saw one when I was six (1974) and it was witnessed by a lot of people in my hometown.

The truth is ufocs have been seen thru history.  Look at some medival art here.

Thank you Sven.
UFO's are nothing new. They have always been here.
And I don't think we will ever figure it out.
It's like ghosts, life after death, how big is the Universe, -we're arrogant ants.
We don't know even a smidgion of what exists beyond our world.

In a lot of ways I like reading about UFOs more than ghosts, since there's something positive and hopeful and mind-expanding about UFOs, but as cool as ghost stories can be, there's usually something sad and unpleasant at their center.

If I wasn't out of time I'd post a link to a cool UFO sighting in England in the late 1800s, witnessed by....well, lots and lots of people over a significant area and written up in newspapers for weeks. They called it the Phantom Flyer. Everyone who says UFOs pre-date modern times is absolutely right.

And very cool post up there with Medieval UFO depictions, Sven. I've always liked those and may add some to it if I find a spare second.

Then there's the South African lady who claimed to have been abducted and done the old hibbitty jibbity ouch-stop-it-I-like-it with an alien.
