U.F.O.'s

... but the physics and energy requirements of interstellar travel make it as close to impossible as it can get.

Once again, someone mysteriously bases the potential for interstellar travel on the limitations of this planet.


Has it never occurred to anyone that maybe we're the only ones using fossil fuels, and the space truckers are using more advanced power sources?

And please don't say nuclear/atomic


I've seen at least one, and my Dad saw another one at the same time that a kid in our neighborhood saw it, and they were on opposite ends of New Orleans. My Dad came home asking if we'd seen it and told us about it. We went down the street and ran into the other guy and he tells us the exact same thing, and the time he saw it was exactly the same.

I've seen things in the night sky before with no idea what it was, I'm sure as anybody else has. And like most people, I'm looking into the sky thinking one day it might happen. A never ending universe and were it, I doubt it.

But I remember swimming back home in a pool, floating on my back and just enjoying the summer night while everybody had already gone back in the house. A black triangled shaped object flew overhead, no noise, no lights, nothing. I could make out the shape because it was a clear night. Stars along with moonlight. It kind of looked like a stealth bomber (but much larger), and considering I've heard the military tested alot of those over KY airspace it could of been (this was years ago).

But it was very very odd looking, and very quiet, which also was kind of unusual as how big it was (But could of been flying at a low altitude, but I imagine I would hear something). Amongst the other strange lights I've seen, to me that was the more certain experience.

How come 99% of UFO sightings happen in the U.S.? I think you guys watch too much hollywood movies

Shush we're just seeing them because they're escaping from Hangar 18 and flying off

That's exactly what I wanted to ask when there was still no replies to this thread!!!

I wanted to wait a little bit for more replies and the ask "How come only you guys in USA see UFOs"?

Thats not even a realistic number.


There are PLENTY of sightings in other countries.
Especially the former soviet union.

Being in North America, we tend to only focus on what goes on around us.

Its out there. Just as many as here in the states.

Check out the KR1L document (sorry no link). Lots of food for thought, allegedly the result of interviews with an alien, OH1 (Original Hostage 1), the inspiration for Close Encounters. ie, he came here, and his kind took some people.

It throws things like this at you:
How is it that many reports of UFOs involve humans coming round a corner, or over a hill, or into a clearing and spying several little aliens "taking soil samples" or pottering about? They then spot the people, jump in their little spaceship and zoom away. Very convenient. Wherever they have come from, be it outer space, or the future, in their hugely advanced craft that defy the laws of physics, how come they haven't got the technology to detect approaching people and get away before they are spotted? Perhaps they are deliberately allowing people to glimpse them, teasing us, letting us get used to them gently rather than flying a spaceship into Trafalgar Square one morning. Or deliberately misleading us......!

Very interesting.

plenty of documented cases in Canada as well. One case was odd about UFO's around newfoundland that went under the sea for several days only to re-appear from the sea with couple other UFO's. I guess those folks either watched too much US TV or had too many Labatt or Molsens

A slight edit to my post above,it's the Krill Document, there's something like it here:

not quite as I recall seeing it, but a good read nonetheless

Time travel has already been witnessed by US servicemen in WWII. They arrived in Hiroshima after the blast to the carnage, but for a few moments, the charred remains were alive and well and fully dressed like a mirage. No mentoin was made of the state of the local architecture during phenomenon.

What humans do not realise is that we are lab rats for other worlds. They are trying crops in a few sizes and colours. When we stop killing each other and are less volatile, the strongest crop will be used to further their dying species as they reach the end of their life cycle.

The 99% figure is not even close to accurate. Mexico has experienced many UFO "flaps" over the last decade. South America too. The former Soviet Union is also ripe for sightings lately. The last few years have seen a big increase.

It doesn't matter what the energy source is, its the amount of energy required to accelerate a mass (btw, mass increases with acceleration and would be infinite at the speed of light) to speeds approaching the speed of light that makes interstellar travel so unlikely, let alone the theoretical impossibility of exceeding it. Also, I'm only referring to what I've read about physics, so by "mysterious", I can only assume you mean the work of the most brilliant physicists of the past decades is somehow "mysterious".

I also didn't realize emoticons make arguments stronger so for extra weight to E=mc^2 -:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:

I've always believed in UFO's and read and search all the time for that.

Check out Billy Meier also ... interesting to say the least.

Only problem with that is what living being, this planet or any other, could withstand those kind of G-forces ?

That second guy is just off his rocker.

You have to be pretty narrow minded in my opinion to not believe there is life on other planets. There are just soo many billions of planets out there and that is just the ones we know about.

Did we have Aliens crash land here back in the 40's ? Maybe, but I find it very hard to believe that US hasn't used any of that technlogy that would have been found there. And surely someone would have been able to salvage even a tiny piece of the wreckage.

I have never seen any UFO's myself, so untill I do I can ony speculate. I do however question why a ship from another planet would need to come down into our atmosphere, hover around for a bit, and then speed off at incredible speeds. Surely with thier imaging technology they could see everything they need to see from well out of our atmosphere. Maybe they are abducting us. Maybe they are searching for intelligent life and have decided to stay well clear of me. Oh well. I do realize that there is nothing to say that what happened in the movie Independence Day could happen tomorrow to us.

I do know there is a full moon blocking the view of the aliens flying around Uranis.

Whoever mentioned military craft is probably right about a lot of the sightings. The fastest plane that we admit to is the SR71 blackbird - and it was built in the early 60s. *!* Think about what was state of the art in the 60s and compare it to today in other fields. There's probably some really interesting stuff there, we just haven't had a reason to show it off yet. The first gulf war was the first use of stealth technology - and the first stealth aircraft was prototyped in the late 70s.
