I haven't... but wouldn't it be awesome to see one fly over tonight? |
||||||||
|
|

a friend of mine apparently saw one two weeks ago! he was too baffled to film it with his mobile though. i told him he should have asked the aliens to take him (+ a female) with them... he described it as two orange lights, floating a few metres above him. |

i don't know what to say, in fact i would try to communicate with them with thoughts |
||||||||

part of me says i shouldn't believe in it, but the other half just arranged a movie marathon night with the guys in case they do fly over and we spot it i can't help but still believe it if only just a little bit. |

everything is possible, thinking that we're alone in the universe, and that nothing extraordinary happens in our lifes by now is the only thing impossible. you might not spot any ufo but the lone fact that you meet with your friends and your minds are truly disposed to something different will make something happens, so that will be a special experience in any case methinks =) |

while you sit about watching films i'll be out collecting the real data. i have tin foil shoes, jealous? |

The trouble with "possible" is that your mind completely distorts the reality or likelihood of what is or isn't achievable or likely to happen. The volumes, distances and time scales involved mean that the chances of intelligent life finding one another are virtually nil. Did you know for example that for every grain of sand on the planet there is 1 millions suns? Next time you're on the beach pick up a handful and see if your brain can realistically compute that statistic. I'm not sure it's altogether possible to imagine something so vast. It's a fantasy for us to even reach the next nearest star to the sun. If you use the example of an orange being placed in front of you, it being the same size of the sun, then, on that scale, the next nearest star (Proxima Centauri) is 1400 miles away. Now ask how many oranges it takes to make up the sun and multiply the amount by 1400 to see how far that next-nearest star is in real terms. |

whoah, never stop blowing my mind baby. barcode, do we really choose? |

I told you, you only choose within the limitations of what your culture has enabled you to know. The mind has created choice, choice is conflict/resistance. Other animals don't choose, they do the right thing every time. |

By the way, if you want to see a UFO tonight, pick up an object from your room without looking and throw it in the air without looking. That's a UFO - an Unidentified Flying Object - UFO does not refer to an alien space ship. |

thanks for those infos |

well, 'unidentified' by definition means that it could be an alien spacecraft. You're also thinking by earth terms. WE don't have any way to travel such absurdly large distances, but that doesn't necessarily mean that other, vastly more intelligent species haven't discovered a different means of transportation - one that makes interstellar or even intergalactic travel possible. That being said, I agree that even if such technology existed, the chances of aliens having visited earth specifically are next-to-none, and even if they had, there's no evidence to suggest that they would attempt to communicate with us. |

One night I was out on my balcony having a smoke when I saw a cluster of lights moving in the sky. I didn't think much of it until it changed direction and formation. I can't explain it. I also saw a really bright point of light out of my office window, once again moving strangely. I don't know if it was alien visitors or not but the people I was with thought it was strange too. |
||||||||

|

Of course it could be. It could also be a 1000 foot baboon on a trampoline shining a torch. I'm just saying that the fact people immediately assume it to be an alien spaceship demonstrates their lack of intelligence in relating to the likelihood of such an event occurring. |

i thought i saw a ufo as a kid one night, but it was just a hula hoop stuck in a tree. |

ufo is conventionally considered synonymous with unknown craft under intelligent control, and this usage does not demonstrate a lack of intelligence. people who are true believers don't worry about the consequences of their rigidity because goddam it they are *right*. |

every star we see from here has stars that go far beyond them. each one is a sun with stuff orbiting around it. at least one of those galaxies MUST have some kind of complex life, surely ours isn't the only planet where life has flourished. i just can't imagine our worlds connecting. what are the chances that, in all those billions of stars, they bump into us or us into them. unless of course we are interesting somehow. do you think they laugh at our ridiculous little pink fingers? |

i seen a ufo once a couple years back. |

i did see something last year at bangface, i was at the beach, i could see balls of lights floating around in the sky, they were like orbs...if anyone else did see that too please let me know. i really did see those balls of light, they kept moving around in the same vicinity, i wish i could explain what they were... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
010101 we need to talk about what you looked at that night, because it sounds like the same balls of light that i watched at bangface, what the fuck are those things? it must be a natural occurrence, there must be a scientific explanation |

this summer in stephenville, texas, usa. there was an entire town of people who saw a ufo, within days the whole thing was covered up, people were told they just seen fixed wing aircraft. here is an awesome of something from a while back. the mexican goverment, much like the argentinian, egyptian and spanish delibertly released military info on ufo's to the american public in hopes of getting help from the usa. |

I saw a UFO once. I was in Brooklyn sparring at the gym, proper going to town on this guy Jimmy two cheeks right, and i'm pounding this kid wid all sorts of combinations 'Pow, Ping, Bop, Kablamo' when all a sudden this fockin bright light shines tru tha gym, i'm like "what tha fock?" and Jimmy two cheeks is like "forget aout it" and i'm like "hey yo Jimmy, don't tell me to forget about it, i aint forget about no-one or nuttin, ya hear?!" Bada bing bada boom... i finds these little grey guys wid big fockin bulging eyes walking towards me from this stoopid saucer type fockin ship, wid these insane bright lights, so then i'm like smashing these scrawny little douche bags around wid all sorts of combinations 'Pow, Ping, Boom, Bop, Kablamo' until they nearly dead. Then finally when i'm standing over them and i wispers "who's the boss?" |

Never. One of my favorite dreams had a ship the size of a football field breaking through the clouds above my street and I just started giggling like a schoolgirl, it was just toooo sweet. |

That won't work you dirty rat bastard, i'm bossing that old bitch 24/7/365, i gets the job done with the vacuum, and i gets the job done with little Danza Jnr, you know what i'm saying?... i'm like, doing it wild 'till she screams and squirts, and then i'm like "who's the boss?" |

I thought it may have been balloons but they glowed and changed direction. I can't explain them! |

what i seen was around for over 2 hours. i seen it a the park and watched for a hour, even getting some strangers to look at it. then i walked home keeping an eye on it. later i had my sister look and see seen it to. it was just like a dim star only it was slowly drifting about. i figured it could have be the gleam of a planet or the iss or other satelites. the thing is i instinctively seen it in the night sky. it never moved radically and i just stopped watching after a while. |
||||||||

it sounds like you just described *shock* an airplane! or a balloon, or heli, or anything else. i would hardly call a dim light slowly moving about for two hours ufo material. on the other hand 01001010101001's account totally sounds like ball lightning to me. |
||||||||
|

this thing was in orbit or further out. when i say it moved about i don't me in any sort of predictable way. |

freqys online experiments of UFOology 5 mins ago i threw a cup in the air and indentified it , it was pathetic ! so I injected my hand with dental numbing juice :P i turned off the lights using my hand of numb, i picked up an object from random in the darkness and threw it in the air at that exact point i turned on the light ( with hand of numb ) i then looked to identifiy what i had thrown.......i types this message with a syringe which has landed and embeded into my eye and brain ...very soooon the numbing will tkdr\bkmnd,sd,sdn\\\\\\\\\\ |

I'm not sure if we would be able to see aliens- I doubt they are simialr enough, biologically, for us to see the blighters. Also, like Barcode said, the universe is prolly too big for us to be close to another life form. |

posted this before but when i was about 9 and walking home from school in the dark me and my ma saw something, three bright white lights in a line moving about incredibly fast in all directions but slowly drifting to the right, we stopped and watched for maybe 5-10 min at which point it completely disappeared. very odd |

It was a clear summer night in downtown Vancouver, lightning is very rare here. There have been only about three lightning storms in the five years I have lived in my apartment and they were not that impressive. I don't believe it was ball lightning. |

I just looked it up on Wiki and it doesn't fit the description at all, it lasted for a good few minutes and as I have said there was no other storm. My wifes friend was being sick in our kitchen sink at the time could that have been a factor? |

Well, any species that had the ability to jump would have a better chance of finding us. Also, if they knew the type of conditions there would need to be for life in a galaxy they might be able to narrow it down. It could still take a very long time, but without knowing what technology they'd have we don't know how easy or hard it would be for them. |

When I was little, about 6 I think, I saw what looked exactly like a Rocket in the sky, my dad saw it too and we looked at it through the binoculars.. it was travelling upwards yet I don't think there are many launchpads in London, save for helicopters. My wife saw here in Chile the classic combination of lights coming together then zipping about the sky before fucking off, and she's not given to fancy at all so I believe her, and therefore in Something Fucky In The Skies, 100%. |

my dad and i saw something in the sky driving in the desert when i was younger. it was green, dimly lit and was a small circle in the night sky. it moved from one end of the horizon across the sky to the other in about 5 or so seconds. i'm sure there is light phenomena that happens that can explain a lot of it, though. i would gamble that most sightings are not an actual alien craft. |

I do remeber once I was with a couple of friends, we must have been about 18, and all of a sudden we noticed "something" in the sky, indistinct but not an airplane.. and one of us went to get the binoculars (always have binoculars handy) and my friend Mark was saying "This is it.. this is it", ,.... sadly it wasn't, it turned out to be some promotional blimp, but i liked those few instants of "This is it..." |
||||||||

i'd quite like a full-on alien invasion, i doubt it'd be much more distressing than normal news and a lot more fun |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Ugh yeah... The one and only times some company uses a promotional blimp, and everyone always thinks it's a UFO. Makes me laugh every time. |
